Just like there are many variations on how to spell Khanukah, there are a few variations on when to observe it. We do not start our observance until tonight. The reason? Khanukah is a FIXED-DAY feast, and is celebrated on the 25th day of the NINTH Biblical lunar cycle begun by the ninth Crescent Moon.Continue reading “Khanukah Channukah Chanuka Hanuka Hannukahh Honiekie”

HaDavar is coming! HaDavar is coming!
Boy, do I wish that were a prophecy about Yeshua; and it is, but that is not the purpose of the declaration, in this context… This is the requested update concerning the timing of the publication of “HaDavar יהוה “, the new edition of the sacred Jewish Scriptures of the Tanakh and Brit Khadashah. TheContinue reading “HaDavar is coming! HaDavar is coming!”
Birds of a Feather!
A Spoonful of Sugar!
This time of year is great for me. Last Friday was my ‘Hebrew Birthday,’ the 14th day of the 9th “Khodesh,” or renewed crescent cycle, the ‘biblical month.’ I was the only one who ‘celebrated’ it, as I was the only one really aware of the disparity in the dates.

Kefa said of the writings of Sha’ul these words: “And consider that the longsuffering of Adoneinu is for Salvation; even as our beloved brother Pavlos also, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his letters he speaks concerning these matters, in which there are certain thingsContinue reading “This Guy?”
