At the behest of my Orthodox friends, I have ordered an Artscroll Tanach to read the weekly Torah portions. And for my birthday next month my father has ordered me the midrash so I can better understand it. Unfortunately I cannot afford a Talmud, as it is $700 for 73 books. Hopefully my new business takes off soon, and I’ll be able to get myself copies of those books.
As of yet I still cannot read, write, or interpret hebrew, so I’m getting English translations. But it’s a start, and it makes me happy. I’m receiving the encouragement to do this from my friends and most of my family, both Jewish and non Jew alike. I just wanted to share my excitement!
