Thanks for reiterating about “shadow” in Col 2:16. i’ve read it and reread it in various translations but the concept you assign to it is not easy to fit into the context, which is enclosed by two “let no one …” phrases. Can you help us erase the preconceived and inherited understandings of that context?
(I miss the reading of Col 1:15 ff in Sabbath prayers)

Charlotte, You are most welcome. Col.2:16 is so misunderstood by those outside the Torah community. But those who do practice the Torah are familiar with the issues Paul addresses here. The passage has nothing to do with whether or not the moedim (or other commandments and traditions) should be observed, that is a given. But the passage addresses how to respond to criticisms one may receive concerning one’s observance of the moed, commandment, or tradition. The Christian world may criticize me for keeping a commandment whereas the Messianic Jewish world may criticize me for how I keep a commandment. It is in the latter that Paul encourages me to “let no one pass judgment” on me. It is so easy to feel beat down and condemned by the very people who should be encouraging.

Thanks. Got to read it again — and again.
