The Torah is a Tree of Life, for those who hold her.
Hold on to Torah by quoting it, interpreting it, riffing on it... in 140 characters. Enjoy what others have shared. Just add #Torah to your Twitter tweets.

Note: Torahtweets.org is undergoing some renovation and re-thinking. If you'd like to help... ping me on Twitter @rabbishai or use the contact form here for a more private missive. (No technical skill required.)

Below you'll see the tweets in advance of, during, and after the Alliance for Continuing Rabbinic Education conference on October 15. I led a discussion on Bava Batra 21 and invited people to tweet.
