Today's verse from Isaiah not only emphasizes the importance of the
Scriptures, but also declares that their source is the holy city of God in Zion.
Zion is another name used to refer to holy city of Jerusalem and can be found
throughout the Bible. On this holy day of Simchat Torah (the Joy of Torah) which follows
the seven day Festival of Tabernacles, Jews can be found dancing through the
streets clutching the Torah scrolls in their hands in celebration of God's
greatest gift to the world, the Bible. Simchat Torah celebrates the finishing of
the yearly reading of the Five Book of Moses and the beginning of the cycle
anew. It is the perfect time to reconnect with the Bible and to study the sacred
Book from the very first word of Genesis! The Israel Bible Reading Plan allows
you to do just that, guiding you through a weekly Torah teaching in the context
of Israel's importance to God's word.
