1 KINGS 7:51-8:21 We see here a repetition of the same building project, but on a larger scale. Solomon builds the first “Temple” for the presence of YHVH. Wherein the tabernacle was a mobile structure ( like a mobile home) the Temple was a fixed place. He employed thousands of workers, so...

3. “The Table of Incense” it symbolizes our prayers as they go up “like smoke” unto the heavenlies, even to the Throne of Grace. One thing to point out, all the furniture with the exception of the Menorah, was made of Acacia wood overlaid with gold, the wood symbolizes the humanity of Yeshua...

EX 35:1-38:20 and EX 38:21-40:38 Before embarking on this Parasha, there is one point from last week that I would like to bring to light. It is in Exodus 34:7 “Keeping mercy” (Notzer Chesed). In the Hebrew Bible, the first letter of the word “Notzer” is enlarged, a large “Nun”. Yet why? Some...

A midrash on the Parable of the marriage feast (Matt 22:1-14) Just need to share this. It has been on my mind since yesterday. We all know, and some might not know, this parable that Yeshua told, about a king that gave an invitation to a marriage feast. We read in Matthew (Matityahu) that...

PARASHA: “Ki Tisa” (when you elevate) Exodus 30:11-334:35 Here’s an interesting question; “Does God have faces. If yes, how many? Think on this question and we’ll come to the answer later on in this study. This parashah starts out by numbering the people, those who are 20 years old and older...

GRANDPA AND THE SLIDE (a short devotional) It was probably back in the late 1950s or early 1960s I remember that me and my mom and dad were visiting our aunt and uncle in a neighborhood just outside of New York City. Grandpa Nappi was visiting too. Grandpa took me to the park that...

I placed "Squeedunk" under "Creative writing" sub-forum

SQUEEDUNK What in the world is a “squeedunk” one might ask? Is it some kind of animal? Something to eat? Or a place tucked away in some remote corner of the world? Well, I can sincerely say that it is a “place” perhaps not mentioned on a map, but definitely a “place”. It is a place...

I think that everyone has his or hers favorite “Super Hero” like Superman, Batman, The Flash, etc…All these superheroes wear special clothing, uniforms, which make them “standout” from the regular crowd.

PARASHA: “Tetsaveh” (you shall command) "Exodus 27:20-30:10 In this parashah, we will see the preparation of the Menorah, and the clothing of the priests. The study starts out with preparing olive oil to fill the lamps of the Menorah, The Torah tells us that it was a “permanent light” (Ner...

1 KINGS 5:12-6:13 The tabernacle was used for many, many years. It followed “B'nei Israel” when they crossed over the Jordan, but 480 years later, it was replaced by the first temple which Melech Shlomo (King Solomon) built. It must have been magnificent. The Ark of the Covenant and...

Gold, silver, precious stones, fabric, and wood. Now there is a question, where did the wood come from? Is there any Shitim and Acacia trees in the desert? If one looks at the desert of Saudi Arabia today, even though “google maps” or “google earth” one can see almost no trees, just bare...
