## Resource

In this new series we explore the history of the Transmission of Torah from Moshe to our generation today. We explore different aspects of how the Torah Sh'bal Peh has been given over and begin to answer some heavy questions. Some accents and attempts at humor with to many references to Monty Python along the way. Enjoy
