Jewish Heritage Revival - Torah Cross Reference - 613 Mitzvot Listed by Category: Employees, Servants and Slaves

The challenge for believers in Yeshua today is knowing what instructions apply. Many have been taught that Torah is no longer valid for believers. What many fail to realize is that the New Covenant writtings don't contradict Torah but affirms it. Messiah Himself provides us with proper instruction in how we are to live. The basis of His teaching is Torah.
