Each word flows from the original Scriptures, lovingly translated to speak to our hearts today. Woven between the verses are thoughtful reflections\u2014like lanterns lighting the path of understanding. In many ways, this is a modern Targum. Long ago in Babylon, when children no longer understood the sacred Hebrew tongue, their parents spoke the Word in Aramaic, adding stories and explanations so the truth could live on. That ancient practice was called Targum. Today, the Bible can feel like a distant language\u2014familiar, yet out of reach. That\u2019s why we need a new kind of Targum\u2014one that bridges the ancient and the now, the holy and the everyday. So come\u2014step into this modern Targum, where Dr. Kukzin Lee invites you to hear the old stories again, as if for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Genesis Chapter 1\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0WQek3yGN78?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Genesis Chapter 2\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tZEKlgHYQ2Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Genesis Chapter 3\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G-IYLeRigVY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Genesis Chapter 4\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zpZJwy_SHDo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These Bible stories are told with gentle wisdom by Dr. Kukzin Lee.
