About Us
Our Mission
Torah Class is an independent, non-denominational organization of Believing gentiles and Jews who have banded together to educate followers of Yeshua in the Torah and the Old Testament (Tanakh) along with the New Testament, from a Hebraic Heritage perspective, and then to apply that necessary understanding to our everyday lives and personal relationship with the Lord.
Our 7-fold mission is to:
• Accurately teach the entire Bible in spirit and in truth, in its historical Hebrew context
• Rediscover the foundational patterns and principles of God’s Word
• Restore to our faith God’s moral principles found in the only comprehensive biblical moral code: The Law of Moses
• Bless, comfort, and stand with the Jewish nation and people of Israel
• Break down the wall of division between Jews and gentiles
• Restore the original meaning and intent of the earliest Believers’ movement
• Make these Bible lessons available to all for free
Our Founder
Tom Bradford is the President of Seed of Abraham Ministries. He is widely recognized as an Old Testament expert, and is the teacher of Torah Class, a worldwide online ministry of exegetical Scripture instruction. Today he is recognized by the preponderance of the Hebrew Roots and Messianic movements as an elder statesman and a leading teacher of the Hebrew Bible. After teaching the New Testament and then the Torah at a denominational Mega-Church for more than 5 years, he founded Seed of Abraham Ministries and has been at its head for the past 25 years. Seed of Abraham grew into several ministries, including Torah Class.
His formal university education began with study at California State University Northridge in Archeology and Egyptology before becoming a business major, which is what propelled his former career in the Hi-Tech field. After serving our country in the Air Force, he rose to become an S&P 500 company senior executive, leading divisions in Europe and the USA. He retired early from that several year career when the Lord unexpectedly inspired him with a consuming passion for Israel and the Holy Scriptures. He next spent 2 years solely on Hebrew Scripture study and biblical history research, mentored both by Jewish Torah scholars and Christian Old and New Testament academics, and next poured over countless volumes of the works of the great Hebrew sages and early Church Fathers.
Tom has traveled the world, spent extended time in Israel studying and researching, leading tours, teaching, mentoring the leaders of other ministries located in Israel, providing hands-on humanitarian aid to the Israeli people, even helping to relocate Israelis to safety during times of war. He studied biblical Hebrew and Torah, and subsequently wrote several seminars on various biblical topics.
Married to Sharon, together they have dedicated their lives to serving the Kingdom of God. Sharon is not only a wonderful devoted supporter, and a beloved and integral part of the ministry, she comes from a background as a highly educated and experienced professional teacher and women’s leader in her own right. Together they have a large blended family of sons and daughters, and many grandchildren.
