The Birth of TiptoeNearly three decades ago on a restless night, I turned, like people have done for generations, to the Torah for hope and guidance. What a difference the original text made! The words were so powerful and poetic.
At the time I was reading to my toddler son Torah stories. I wanted something more authentic for him so I began to read him the original text, adapting it as I went. Not only was that hard, but the text was sometimes confusing. So I began to adapting the Torah with the goal of bringing out the best of the original text with clarity, brevity and meaningful for adults and children. Tiptoe Through The Torah has since evolved into several adaptations. Tiptoe Through Torah For Families & Schools - Make A Torah Activity. Using a child and adult friendly approach, families and schools can study and illustrate their own Torah. Get Started Now Adult Torah Portion Weekly Summaries offered at www.MyJewishLearning.com These are longer and more detailed than the portions available on this site. Tiptoe Through Torah Biblical Booklets for the Book of Genesis Individual portions are available in short e-booklets. Great for preparing for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Tiptoe Through Genesis Book A passage-based approach to the first book of Torah radiates with relevancy and beauty. Available for free on Kindle Unlimited and for purchase. May my gift to you of Tiptoe Through The Torah be a source of blessing in your life. Nancy Reuben Greenfield PS - To make my day, please write! |
