I would like to invite all of you who are reading this to go to the "Creative Writing" Sub-forum here. I just posted one of my short stories; "One Hanukkah in Auschwitz" a Hanukkah story during the time of the holocaust.

“I’m Sergeant Kohler, Herr Rabiner. I’m replacing Sergeant Muller” “What happened to Muller?” asked the rabbi. “Sent to the front, for reasons that are not really important” replied Kohler. “Rabbi” continued Sergeant Kohler, “not all Germans love Hitler and hate the Jews, some like me, feel...

Rabbi Faerman looked into the face of the man who was now standing next to him. Something in him seemed familiar. Sometimes it was hard to recognize people as the toil and the hardship of labor camps had wasted human bodies. The man was also looking deep into the eyes of the Rebbe. “Avram?”...

Sometimes, the camp cooks would boil the rotten potatoes and turnips, making the soup somewhat rancid and bitter. Those who were “unlucky” to be at the end of the line got the rotten mush. Many who were hungry enough to eat it ended up getting sick. The sick could then report to the camp...

Since this is the first night of Hanukkah, I thought that this would be a good story to share, perhaps it is a bit of fiction in a non-fiction background. A time of sadness, of the "Shoach" (The Holocaust) This is one of my short stories from my ebook "God Tales, An Anthology" So, enjoy it, if...

Everyone had to convert to Hellenism, accept Antiochus as supreme ruler and “god” manifested in human form, or die. No longer could they study Torah, the scrolls were destroyed, circumcision of males was a capital offense when Israelite women married, a Greek soldier would be the first to...

Little may we know it but we probably have been in the “right places” at the “right times” to help people achieve their goals because we have a God in the universe that oversees all things and places people in those places to fulfill his will in them and in others. But let's go back to the...

PARASHA:  “VaYeshev”  (and he settled)   Genesis 37:1-40:23 God has many plans for Joseph, although he couldn't see ahead of the game, and neither can we, God is in control, even though we only see storm clouds, the sky and the sun will come out, but all in HIS timing. We just need to ride out...

Sukkot is celebrated for seven days. Seven being the “perfect” number, and a special ceremony on the “eighth day” (Hoshanah Raba) “8” being the number for “new beginning”. The pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving for three days, “3” being the number for “Elohim” who is “Father” “Son” and “Holy...

THANKSGIVING , the Bible, Joseph and Squanto (two men used by God) Today we celebrated the day of Thanksgiving, which had its start in 1621 when the Pilgrims celebrated their arrival in the new world. However, Thanksgiving has its roots in God’s Word. What does God’s Word say about giving...

OBADIYAH 1:1-21 This prophet talks about Esau as “Edom” similar to the name “Adam” yet spelled with a “vav” Edom is condemned, for his attack on Jacob, later on, the Edomites attack the Israelites, (brothers against brothers) Edom will be “brought down from the lofty cliffs” I have been...

But “Panim El Panim” (faces to faces) is somewhat strange, or is it? How many faces does God have? Or does he even have a face, since he is “spirit”. In one way, he “has a face” in physical form as the “Angel of YHVH, Jacob saw him, Abraham also saw him. But now “faces?” what could that mean...

MALACHI 1:1-2:7 The prophet speaks and writes through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) “Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated”. but you ask, “isn't God love?” isn't God all about love? Why does he “hate poor Esau?” The word “hate” has the same meaning as “reject”. YHVH who is “all-knowing”...

OK, I corrected it, I put "Isaac and Rebecca" next to their Hebrew names

GENESIS 25:19-28:9 This study starts out with the generations of Abraham and Sarah. After years of waiting and praying they finally had Yitzchak. The legacy continues, the promise of YHVH is revealed once more, but not without testing of faith. Yitzchak and Riv'kah also have to wait, about 20...
