Hi - I just realized I was supposed to keep the Torah last June 13th. Messianics are very scarce in my area - Indiana just north of Louisville, Ky.

I do have a deck outside of my living room, and was even thinking of sleeping out there, but firstly I wouldn't be 100% sure that would be safe, secondly the neighbors would think I was totally nuts and thirdly it has a roof so it sounds like it wouldn't qualify anyway.

The only thing I can think of to do is maybe make a little lean to in the larger bathroom and sleep there? Someone suggested a bamboo covering of some kind. I do want to obey the Lord on this, but how? Thanks very much for any suggestions. Also, I absolutely have to go to work during those days, except for the weekend. Do you think some of the Mitzvot aren't mandatory when one is no longer in Israel (of course obviously these include the ones having to do with sacrificial offerings)? In Yeshua, Tricia
