Why Bet Midrash?

Bet Midrash is the personal blog of B Arnold Stein.
I chose the name Bet Midrash which can be translated from the Hebrew as House of Learning or Study House. It is the method of learning that Jews have used for centuries. Learning is not done only in a lecture format, but it is done primarily in one on one discussion. Yeshiva students are assigned a study partner. Together as a team they go thru the scriptures and discuss them to gain understanding. Their study partner is kept throughout their studies. For those students in Israel that choose to serve in the IDF, they are often placed in the same unit with their study partner.

My journey as Messianic Jew since 1970 has shown me that fellowship and learning takes place primarily in small groups, where one can share life and learn from each other.

I started this blog on July 5, 2025. As time goes on I will be sharing about:
The decades I have fellowshipped in house church, ecclesia, organic non-hierarchical participatory small groups.

Biblical feasts

The 8 years I was in a Christian Commune

Quantum Mechanics

Prophesy

Politics
