We think we all have it figured out. This dude cannot read or write, but just sold his life’s work for $20 Million.

I have spent a lot of time paying attention to Hebrew practice over the years. One of the practices I am particularly fond of is the reading of a portion of scripture each Sabbath following an outline that leads through the Jewish Calendar. This is the Second Sabbath of the calendar (The first portion is Bereshith – or in the beginning). This week picks up with Noach or Noah. This portion covers Genesis 6:9 – Genesis 11:32 (Noah to the tower of Babel). Also there si a reading known as Haftarah (or after Torah) that is typically from the historical books or from the prophets. This weeks portion is Isaiah 54:1 – Isaiah 55:5. Recently I have begun to notice that some followers of Jesus have coupled New Testament scriptures with the portion. This week is Matthew 24:36-44. It is interesting to read all of these together. Let me know what you think.
