Torah Class - Day 51: Commandment 5: Honor and Vows (Part 3)

Today, we continued studying the Statutes which are under the Fifth Commandment and relate to honoring our Heavenly Father. We discussed how honoring our parents is not only about giving honor to our human parents. It is first about honoring our Heavenly Father.

We also completed our worksheet for Week 18, which is printable now online.

Completed worksheets from this class are viewable and printable at the following link:

 
MAKE-UP SESSION:
As you know, due to a loss of internet, we were unable to have class on Monday, May 6. 

As a make-up for this loss of class, we will (based upon the vote taken in today's class) be having a make-up class on Monday, June 3, 2024. 

For this reason, the official last day, prior to summer break, for the Torah class will be June 3rd. 

TENTATIVE PLANS FOR TORAH CLASS 24-25:
As we all know, the hour is late. As a result, none of us knows how long internet classes can be continued... 

But, bearing this reality in mind, after prayerful consideration, I do believe I should set the plans in motion to hold a Torah Class next year also. 

Please know, these plans are subject to the Father's Will and Provision. So, tentatively, I am praying about having the following schedule for next year:

From the start of September, 2024 to the end of May, 2025, we would meet online - like this year (as long as possible, and for the whole term if we can) from 10-11 AM (PST) on Mondays and Wednesdays (same schedule as this year).

Pre-registering for this up-coming Torah class means that you and I would keep this schedule and plan in motion for as long as we're able, with the hope of finishing at the end of May. 

Because this is a tentative arrangement, prayerfully being undertaken, I would ask that you don't plan to pay for the whole next year in advance...  Let's keep this on a month-by-month basis. I certainly don't want to overcharge anyone for classes I cannot provide, nor make promises I cannot keep!

So, for now, I am just taking a poll to see how many of you would like to tentatively pre-register for Torah Class starting on Monday, September 2, 2024 (after the summer break).

Please let me know. Thanks!

No Torah Class - due to Internet - Monday, May 6, 2024

We were unable to have Torah class today, because DFN (our internet service provider) went down... Multiple DFN customers in our area are without Internet, along with us...

I am very sorry to disappoint you all by not having Torah class today, as planned. Our DFN internet provider is having some technical problems. As a result of this problem at DFN, we lost internet today at 9:57 AM (PST), which was during Prophecy Class... 

Thankfully, I can say that this is the first time DFN has lost internet provision in all the years I've been doing online classes - and we're very thankful this didn't happen during the Spring Feast!

DFN assures us that they are working on the problem and expect to have it fixed in a couple of hours. 

I am at least able to post this blog update, with my apology by using my cellphone as a mobile hot-spot. Sadly, the Internet from my phone is not sufficient to broadcast a Zoom class...  So, a blog post is about all I can do.

Thank you for patience. And prayerfully, I plan to have Torah class on Wednesday, May 8. I am very sorry for the inconvenience!
