A strange dream to be sure, but that is not important. The Dream: A man, standing about six feet in height. Maybe, 190 pounds when he gets out of the shower. Seeming to be no more that average in looks. He is the one behind all of the trouble in the dream. Always the one at the back of the crowd, but the influencer that pushed others forward in anger and rage. I was looking in the direction the crowd was going. As the throng of human lives pushed past me, for I was not with them. I had the […] Are you trying to understand what is coming? Will you understand before it is to late? Looking around the world, at the people, the news, the behavior of: countries, people, the left, the right, the . . . . , well there is a lot to think about. Yes, I know, I put people in twice. It is about the people. About how everyone of us deals with each other. Whether or not an individual person returns to the ALMIGHTY; prior to having no time, no ability to change even if they still had a choice. Understand that you must […] So many willfully choose to not understand the prophets. Shame! “a redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who repent of transgression in Jacob” Isaiah 59:20, Torah From a posting on Facebook. My response was and is: James Jeffries Here is another example of how a piece of a verse is taken, and then given ‘desired’ meaning. The people being spoken to are identified back in Isaiah 56. In Isaiah 59 we have: ” 15 And truth is lacking, and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that […] Why should I study the Written Torah and Tanakh? This question comes from the mouths of many people. People I talk to in America; have talked to in Israel; have talked to in Shul; and even decades of talking with xtians. It is surprising to me, how many simply don’t care, BUT not to the LORD. What will you discover in the Written Torah, by the Hand of Moses? Will it be worth the effort? Can you tell me while standing on one foot? YES, with Five Points. What you will find in the Written Torah of Moses. 1) Who […] This will be a difficult one for me. Many of the people on the earth today either do not believe in their actions as sin or think all you should need to say is “I’m Sorry” with a pretended truth to the words. There are those that have faith that on their death bed, no matter how bad, if they just ask for forgivness, it will be fixed and they will go to heaven(where ever heaven is.) so “keep on keepin’ on”. As it has been said in many forms. Is that right? Is that Justice? No matter how bad […] So what is this day? Can we not just ask for forgiveness and that should be enough? Why should All of the Children of Jacob do this Day of Atonement? There seems to be misunderstandings regarding the day and the purpose. Before we get started with this session, I highly recommend that, if you have not read the post Acknowledge, Regret, Repent! Atonement, that before you go further, take the time now to read it and then proceed with this one. The LAW According to the Hand Of Moses. Leviticus 16: 29 And it shall be a statute for ever […] Less that a week before the Day Of Atonement, Rabbinic year 5777, Biblical 5997. In getting ready for this years events, many are presenting ideas about asking for forgiveness and what that should entail. I heard one talk by a rabbi, declaring this is the best process: 1) Be unhappy or regret what you have done, 2) Acknowledge what you have done, 3) Tell the person you wronged, that you are sorry, 4) Ask for forgiveness for what you have done, 5) Try to repair the damage you caused. This has caused a number of discussions about forgiveness. Some have […] Tisha B’Av, the Fast of the Ninth of Av, is a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people, many of which have occurred on the ninth of Av. This is a quote from Judaism 101 Yes there are many similar descriptions of Ninth of Av(meaning of Tisha B’Av). In the middle of Shabbat night, I awoke with these thoughts: Tisha B’Av, On this day we strive to remember the losses. The House of the Name, which King Solomon built, the second Temple destroyed 70 c.e. along the other terrible events that have happened […] The presented question was: “Will someone please explain, why do only Jews get to go to Heaven, and the rest of humanity, that Gd did create, go to some second kind of Heaven?” The person who asked this question, it seems, heard a Rabbi make a similar statement. This upset the questioner greatly and she was confused and angry. Personally, I can understand the mood of the questioner, and I will say that I was very disturbed that any religious leader would or could say such a thing, but it is not unexpected, at least by me. My responses follow: […] It is observed that, we(most people of the earth), are willing to take anything EXCEPT the Written TORAH by the Hand of Moses, as justification for personal actions. Even the Rabbinic version and use of the word “Torah”, which their definition has been and continues to be: “All Jewish writing”. Which is then given equal or greater validity to that of: Written TORAH in the Scroll, carried in most Shuls on Shabbat with reverence; treated with pomp and circumstance; which contains no vowels; and has not changed for 3500 years. Not even one letter is allowed to be wrong. When […] |
