Here's a list of Apostolic passages I recommend studying with #torah portion #vayikra ("And he called", #leviticus 1:1-6:7), plus links to related commentary and video.

When Irish Eyes Were Smiling
While common folk, commemorate St. Patrick’s Day as an Irish heritage holiday, it is most important to remember that the man himself was never a saint, nor was his name rightly Patrick
…and he most certainly was not a Roman Catholic.
The power of Rome had not yet in the fourth century conquered the Emerald Isle, nor yet even, the Christian Scots. While it is unclear as to which disciple reached the Celts and several legends lead in opposite directions, what is beyond doubt was that the earliest Roman Catholic missionaries arrived in Scotland and Ireland to find a thriving Christian community… But one which actually followed the “Christ” they had been taught about.
The Celtic Kirk (not yet known as Church) called the Heavenly Father by His NAME. And they called His ‘Son’ by His Name. And to the best of their ability they kept the Sabbath day, and all the Holy Days of the Scriptures.
The Celtic Kirk was among the last holdouts in the western world to be conquered by the Roman Church, holding out for nearly 100 years. They eat the foods the Bible calls clean, and they refused the celebrations the book forbids. They were Torah, observant to the best of their ability, and taught others to be likewise.
In all of “church history” the Celtic Christians were among the greatest Calvarians that ever were…until Rome had her way eventually.
Throughout his life, Maewyn Succat, the man who would become known in death as Saint Patrick, butted heads with Rome and the Romish ways. Sadly, however, as it has been said, “time is is the ally of deceit”, and without Maewyn walking the world and telling the opposite story, Rome owned his legacy and rewrote his story as they so often did with any who resisted them.
The Roman church learned early on that what they could not eradicate they must absorb, adopting and adapting it to themselves.
And so Rome received the deceased Celtic Christian, who opposed her in life, and in death dubbed him a saint of their own chicanery.…
And then they sold him back to the people as their own true Champion, who drove the “snakes” out of Ireland and taught the Irish people the Trinitarian tradition through the use of the shamrock. But such was not the case.
The one we know, as Saint Patrick was a sanitarian. To the best of his ability throughout his days, he taught the 10 Commandments in their fullness. He taught conformity to the Torah in all its facets. And he taught The Way of righteousness in the worship of YHWH Almighty in truth.
So if you aren’t remembering this great man today, maybe you should be. And if you are remembering your Irish heritage at this time give a thought to what heritage was ours most anciently…and reclaim it.
Question Everything

Is there anything wrong with using the name "Jesus" instead of "Yeshua" (or Yahshua, or whatever is your preferred spelling of the Messiah's name)?
Unless you're prepared to stop speaking and writing English altogether, there's no rational reason to object to "Jesus". And then you'd also need to explain (in Biblical Hebrew) why all of the Apostles used Greek.

On this date in history, 03/17/1780: General Washington orders a general holiday in honor of Saint Patrick's Day and a resolution of the Irish parliament to open trade with the United States. #otd #tdih #amrev https://www.historycarper.com/....1780/04/24/washingto
As Solomon begins his conclusion he writes in Ecclesiastes 12:8, “Emptiness, emptiness says the teacher, everything is is emptiness” He sums up his description of the end of the age by saying when we fail to remember our Creator everything man does is useless. Then he writes what is important in Ecclesiastes 12:13, “When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.”
For those who say that all do evil by free will and never do good, it is not honouring God to say this (though not the ultimate blasphemy of Calvinism). The idea that, if given free choice, no one would choose God? How on earth can someone think such an idea is glorifying to God?
It is rather astonishing, when God gives freedom to people, that anyone would commit sin - it is the one truly mysterious thing that exists, the one thing that is unnatural, the only thing causeless and pointless: the existence of sin cannot be reasoned, because by definition it is unreason.
With sin existent at all, it is not so surprising that everyone has it to struggle with, from conception. And not at all surprising that, if indulged, the path of unreason leads to every abomination. "Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips..." Ro 3
What is inconceivable is the idea that anyone would have no good in them - though some (especially before the flood) may eventually cease to follow the good in them at all. Some also cease to follow the evil in them at all. Most are, of course, in the varying degrees between. "of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh." Lk 6
All have both: sin, utterly without reason; and good, because who, when given the choice, would not glorify our great Creator? And who would dare to deny this?

Afterward, check out ministries and stuff to help you dive deeper.
I do comics on a lot of Biblical things. I did a series specifically for people coming into this called "Torah 4 Churchies". I started out my comics with a series called "Church vs. Bible" that went through a lot of what I was taught in Church and what the Bible says about it. Both can be found here: https://thestraightandnarrow.cfw.me/archive/
Ministries that I find helpful and have a good head on their shoulders and remind you to check your Bible and not just take their word for it:

May I ask what brought you to the understanding of Torah as that might give us some understanding of where you are in your learning?
E.g. were you a (as I call it) modern-Christian already and something made you re-examine what you understand the Bible says? For my wife and I it was about which day Shabbat was one...
Did you come from no religious background?
