offers lectures, courses, tapes, and books
that teach the principles of Twelve Tribe Torah™.
The basic premise in Twelve Tribe Torah is that there is not just one "Jewish tradition" but rather twelve vital and mutually supportive traditions that have in fact characterized Judaism for over the past 2,200 years.
Understanding these twelve traditions both as historical realities and as discreet spiritual lineages can give us new insights into an era that simultaneously gave birth to the emerging Midrashic Judaism and to the religion of the Gospels.
This essentially holistic and pluralistic reconstruction of Torah history can also provide our generation with new tools so that those who study the Hebrew Scriptures may begin to re-envision their own relationship with Yahweh.
