Pronounced: Ho-rah-ah (noun) Instruction, direction, guidance,
teaching . Advisement that provides direction and encouragement.
“Torah is not a book of history, neither is it a storybook in
which interesting tales and episodes are recorded. According to
the Midrash, the word Torah etymologically is associated with
the word “hora’ah” - which means teaching and guidance (Zohar
III:53b). Whatever parts of Torah one learns, one is to study
and reflect on the message hidden in the words. Though on the
surface it may seem that a particular place, event, or
commandment is being discussed, one should also interpret the
Torah in a way that reveals a timeless message and instruction.”
