Everyone should set themselves a daily program of Torah study. This applies even to people who are far from holiness and sin regularly. So great is the power of the Torah that it can free them from their sins. If even the worst sinner would take on himself to study a fixed amount every day, he would be able to escape the evil trap. The power of the Torah is so great that it can accomplish everything.

We recommend that each week everyone should study the weekly Torah reading with comentary. An archive of all the commentaries of the late Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum on the weekly portions is available at https://www.azamra.org/spirit/parshah.php..

A second series of commentaries on the weekly portion written for a wider audience of gentiles is available at https://www.azamra.org/nations/portions.php.

It is also desirable for all who desire deeper understanding of the Torah spiritual tradition to study the other books of the Bible (Prophets and Holy Writings) on a regular basis. Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum has written commentary on all the books of the Bible with the exception of Psalms, and a complete archive of these commentaries is available at https://www.azamra.org/spirit/nakh.php
