For (6) years (in California) I participated in prison ministry by leading a men's study on the book of Daniel in the Bible. 

During this 10 year period my family & I attended a small Messianic Jewish Congregation in Southern California in Los Angeles County. 

I wanted to study Judaism itself within an environment where they weren't hostile to the New Testament. 

Were you aware that in Judaism there are (2) sets of what is called "Torah" by the Rabbis?

a) Torah Shibictov (The Written Torah contained in the TaNaK (the Hebrew Old Testament), & 

b) Torah She Ba'al Peh (The Torah of the Mouth) which also includes the Mishnah, Gemara, and the Talmud(s) of which there are two(2) collections; The Jerusalem Talmud; and, the Babylonian Talmud.

Friend, I've studied this book first in English, then in Greek (both the NT & the LXX); and, the Hebrew as well.

Currently, I'm working on deeply examining the Aramaic Peshitta; the Targums (also in Aramaic); and, the (SP) Samaritan Pentateuch.
