In the Summer of 2007, I visited some of the Crypto Jewish (Anusi) communities in the North American Southwest.  I was very impressed by their commitment to Torah and by their excitement to return to their Jewish Roots.  Since the beginning of this Torah cycle this past October, I started -in association with the Bat Tzion Hebrew Learning Center in Ruidoso, NM-  a weekly parasha class which continues to this day.  Although currently the virtual class is full, I will post an audio copy of the class as well as the sourcesheets for said classes.  If you are going to be learning on your own, I recommed you set aside two hours for the lesson, print out the sourcesheets  and have a Hebrew/English Tanakh available.  I recommend the Jewish Publication Society's Hebrew/English Tanakh, although any Jewish Bible (JPS English, Artscroll, The Living Torah, etc.) will do. The class does not require previous knowledge of Hebrew, although a working knowledge of the Hebrew alphabet would greatly enhance your enjoyment and comprehension of the class.   As for the requirements of your system, you will need Adobe Reader (download here) and also Windows Media Player (download here) which come standard with most PCs. [If you want to download the file to your computer, right-click on the link and pick "Save Link as..."]  If you want to join the class please send me an email and I will add you to our weekly newsletter.
