Parasha: Kedoshim (Holy Ones) Leviticus 19:1-20:27 Chapter 19 starts with the words; “Ye shall be Holy for I am Holy”. When we look at the original Hebrew we read; “Amarta Aleichem Kadoshim ti’hiyu Ki Kadosh Ani” But there is something different in the two words; “Kadoshim” (ones who are holy)...

ISAIAH 43:21-44:23 YHVH speaks through the Prophet Yeshayahu and complains that Israel has forgotten about God, they no longer bring sacrifices, but are engrossed in sin, He explains that craftsmen will use their skill to make idols, that have no value, what a waste of craftsmanship! They can...

PARASHA: “Vayikra” (and he called) LEVITICUS 1:1-6:7 The word “VaYikra” is interesting, as it occurs 3 times. It means “called to (and a person’s name) In other words, Adonai called Moshe from where “he was” to where “Adonai is”. To “bridge the gap of distance." We learned last time...

THREE TABERNACLES? OR THREE IN ONE? (Pikudei: Exodus 38:21-40:38) "accountings of" The Tabernacle is finished, and the congregation brings the finished product to Moshe for inspection. Giving an account of one's work, contribution, offerings, tithes, etc is very Biblical. The LORD expects...
