Welcome to the Shamar Towrah blog!

Welcome to Shamar Towrah!

We’re so pleased you are here. Let us begin by sharing what Shamar Torah means.

In Hebrew, shamar speaks of listening closely, paying attention, carefully observing, and responding to what is seen. Torah (or towrah) is YHWH’s teaching, instruction, direction, and guidance. Together, Shamar Torah is a purposeful way to live, attentively guarding and walking in the living words of life.

Who is YHWH, and What is Torah?

YHWH is the eternal and living God - ‘elohym (plural) in Hebrew. YHWH are the Mighty Ones who exist and cause existence, Father and Mother of life, the source of all that is true, enduring, and good. They are not distant, but near - the providers of Torah, revealing Their words, Their creation account, and Their relationship with mankind.

The very Name, YHWH, speaks of promise: “I Exist, and I will provide a future for you.”

Torah is Their gift of teaching and direction - not a rigid law-code but living words that flow like a stream. Its purpose is to nourish us, restore the soul, bring clarity where there is confusion, and light the path of life. Torah reveals who YHWH is, what They value, and how we may walk with Them as Parents, for we were made in Their image - male and female. As Chawah (Eve) was taken from 'Adam, so the Heavenly Mother was set-apart from Yah (Proverbs 8) as His first creation. She existed before the Creation of the Earth, and She is always at His side as co-Creator. As such, YHWH modeled His pattern of design, purpose and family structure in Their image. This is the design and origin of the human family - having both father and mother. YHWH are the Father and Mother of the 10 instructions given by Moseh when YHWH declared we should view Them as significant, weighty, and valuable to obtain a second life. Thier family Home is called the Beyth, and Their plan and purpose is explained in their letter to humankind ~ the Torah.

Torah is instruction for freedom, not bondage. It is guidance for flourishing, not restriction. To open its pages is to hear our Creator’s voice; to walk in its ways is to live in harmony with creation and with God.

We study Torah because it is the heartbeat of YHWH’s covenant with us. We are not here to invent doctrines or gather followers, but to listen, observe, and respond - to shamar torah - so that we may be restored, and life may flourish for generations to come.

As the prophet Isaiah declared: “YHWH delighted, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and wonderful.” (Isaiah 42:21)

Why We’re Here

This site is a gathering of Torah studies, notes, and insights from a small group of students walking this path together. We share not as teachers, but as seekers - people learning, questioning, and growing as we journey through YHWH’s Word.

You can also find us on YouTube and Facebook @ShamarTorah, @YarahYahwah, and in the Malunah Facebook Study Group.

As David (Dowyd) wrote: “The Torah of YHWH is whole and complete, flawless and lacking nothing. It turns us back, restores us, and renews the very breath of our soul. The witness of YHWH is steadfast and enduring, firm and trustworthy, establishing what is true. It opens the eyes of the simple, giving wisdom to the willing, teaching the receptive how to live with insight, skill, and understanding.” Psalm / Song 19:7

Our only desire is to guard, cherish, and live the Way - Shamar Torah.
