About Nature of Torah

There are certain questions that accompany any sincere exploration of the world. We wonder about where things came from, where they're going, and what they're here for. We ask questions about meaning, truth, and purpose. Most importantly, we ask questions about ourselves and how we should live in this strangely beautiful and beautifully strange universe.

These questions have formed the basis of philosophy for thousands of years. But what does the Torah have to say about them? Does Judaism offer clear answers to these questions, or is it more interested in the questions themselves?

Through various projects, this site explores the Torah's relationship to those big questions, especially as they relate to our daily experience of the natural world. 

By exploring the nature of the Torah, we discover a Torah that permeates nature.
