So, Tzilah and I were discussing this yesterday, in relation to the previous week’s parasha, and out of our discussion bubbles the realization that the math is off a bit.  Yeshua would have ‘started’ His ministry in 27 AD, at 30 years old, having been born in 3 BC.  This would put the 40 yearsContinue reading “Perek Khadashah : Yovel”

Yosef [Joseph] was the first son of Rakhel, the wife whom Yisra’el loved.  As such, Yisra’el loved Yosef abundantly.  He expressed this love lavishly, and gave to Yosef an ‘elaborate tunic’.  This garment has been a part of even our pop culture, commonly referred to as a ‘coat of many colors’, but I suppose myContinue reading “Yosef The Kohen”

My Parasha [weekly reading portion of scripture] is VaYishlakh: “And he [Ya’akov] sent…”  That is this week’s [12/8-12/14] parasha. The scriptures in this scheduled reading which was read in the synagogues during the Sabbath week of my birth 54 years ago have been special to me since I discovered the parasha reading schedule some fifteenContinue reading “Pri HaGafen”

Miqedem is a Messianic Israeli team of musicians who sing The Word set to very compelling, interesting ‘Hebrew’/Middle Eastern sounding music. They have a song called “Ad Ana”, which is Tehillah [Ps] 13 set to a moving, melodic, tune that, in my view, gets very close to expressing the ‘tone’ of the heart of MelekhContinue reading “Ad Anah”

A couple of weeks ago, while studying parashat “Khayei Sarah” with my wife, I saw a few things on a deeper level. Sarah died and was buried at חֶבְרוֹן , Khevron, which was formerly called, קִרְיַת אַרְבַּע , Kiryat Arba.  Reading these in English or transliteration doesn’t reveal much.  Reading them in Hebrew, with someContinue reading “I’m in Khevron”

Shalom! It has been a while since my last post.  I have taken some time to press in to our Creator, to seek His face, concerning personal matters.  I do not know what the immediate future holds, but one thing I have is absolute shalom.  And I have gratitude for that, as well as HisContinue reading “Deep”

This goes along with my previous blog, “Who is Yisra’el”.  I was reading in Phil this morning, and read through the third paragraph below, and thought immediately of the first two.  I’ve gotten good feeback on the previous blog, so this supplement may prove useful to some. People who identify as “Israel” today, who areContinue reading “Sha’ul the Jew”

[This summary is for a project we are working on, and is a very first draft; but, it is a good summary, concise and clear, “plain”.  I covet your thoughts] [for transliterated terms, reference: glossary ] Elohim, the Creator and King of the Universe, chose Avram, changed his name to Avraham, and entered into covenantContinue reading “Who is Yisra’el”

Shalom, This is a difficult subject to broach, but necessary. This was a fb post written six years ago; some of what I asserted has already begun to happen, sadly.  I have another article on this difficult subject brewing.  The fact that this was a memory ‘today’ on fb is timely, as I was approachedContinue reading “To’evah Hu”
