Parashah: “Re’eh” (see) DEUT: 11:26-16:17 Why are they "our choices?" Well, that's all we have in this world. The blessings and the curses, obedience or disobedience. We learn that at home from Mom and Dad. Disobey them and we might feel the belt across our fannies. Obey the law or we...

ISAIAH 49:14-51:3 Israel cries out “The LORD hath forsaken me and forgotten me” but the prophet through the Holy Spirit assures the people, NO, the LORD has NOT forsaken you. There is a big difference between, “abandonment, forgetfulness, and chastisement”. The fact that YHVH has punished his...

ISAIAH 1:1-27 The prophet has a difficult calling, he tells Israel of their unfaithfulness, sinfulness, how they wander away from God, and Adonai has to put up with the sacrifices, celebration of “new Moons” the High Holy Days. Etc. not that there is anything bad in celebrating them...

Parashot: “D’varim” (Words) DEUTERONOMY 1:1-3:22 We start the final book of the original 5 books of the Torah, in which Moshe wrote down all the statutes, commandments, precepts, details, etc. that Adonai dictated to him to write. We must remember that Am Israel received the first 10...

JEREMIAH 1:1-2:3 The calling of Navi Yirimyahu (the prophet Jeremiah) As we see in the beginning, God says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you!” This a great statement, a great truth that flies in the face of abortionists, those that say, “A fetus is not yet human”. If God...

PARASHIOT “Matot v’ Masei” (Tribes and Journeys of) Numbers 30:1-32:42, 33:1-36:13 Is God with you on your life's journey? or "journeys throughout your life?" I hope you include Him on your trip. Without Him, you will hit many bumps and you will bounce around. With him on your journeys, you...

I KINGS 18:46-19:21 In this study, we see a second example of “zeal” for Adonai. Israel was again, bowing down and worshipping Baal, and Eliyahu really had enough and decided to do something about it. He initiated a contest between YHVH and Baal. Whoever answers the prayers and...

PARASHA: “Pinchas” NUMBERS 25:10-29:40 Good question, If your "zeal" is like the zeal of Pinchas, you might be in prison today! but in those days, it showed "valor" through "action" and "don't mess with the holiness of our camp!" This Torah portion starts with somewhat of a surprise, a...
