For this final portion in the Torah, we briefly find the Salvation Pattern in the opening verses of Moses’ blessing, connect Moses’ final act before Israel to tree behavior, trace the building of a home through the blessings, discuss why it is that Moses can’t lead the people into the Land, and connect Yeshua to […]

After reviewing an insight from a previous teaching on this parshah, we put forward a thought about Moses and then the idea that the ending of the Torah really doesn’t feel like the end of the story. Israel stands on the cusp of the Land, ready to enter…and the Torah cycle returns to B’reisheet, Genesis. […]
In this week’s Torah portion, Balak, we see how God can use a spiritual man of low character to bless His people. We also review what we’ve learned from past teachings, make connections between Yeshua’s donkey and Balaam’s donkey, and consider how seeing and listening lead to doing.

In this year’s parsha Vayechi teaching, we dig into a couple of peculiarities of the text, including a verse regarding the death of Rachel and a description of Joseph from Jacob’s blessing of his twelve sons. Particularly with this second passage, we see both the difficulties of translating from the Hebrew, and we see the […]
Chapters 9 and 10 of Nehemiah are one continuous prayer. One important opportunity for study found in this prayer is the chance to see our human faults from this ancient, inspired perspective. Our main question as we explore in these chapters is, “Why do we keep cycling through phases of rebellion, and how do we […]
In this special teaching on parshah Vayeitzei, Steve Meeks explores Jacob’s journey to Haran and back. As he does so, Steve speaks to paths on our own journeys in life. Join us as Steve draws lessons from the leave-takings of Beer Sheva, the fearsome vision at Bethel, and the exhausting work of Haran. In the end, […]

This week we continue to focus on the Covenant of Moab via Torah portion Nitzavim. This little-mentioned covenant is expressed mainly as blessings and curses, a central theme of this week’s teaching. Specific topics include an exploration of “gall and wormwood,” and a curious word in this portion that, in all valid Torah scrolls, contains […]
Join Beth Tikkun for a teaching drawn from Torah portion Re’eh focused on one topic: salvation of the soul. While digging into this central topic of the Word, we shift the focus slightly from the traditional Christian emphasis on sharing the basics and praying “the prayer.” Along the way, we explore the concepts of blessing […]
We begin this cycle’s parshah Toldot teaching with a brief look at how the Torah goes far beyond what a human would design for a religious book with its unexpected collections of stories and geneologies and building plans — all layered with unending levels of meaning. With that introduction, we discuss the interesting story of […]
Join us for the third teaching in our “6 Elementary Principles” teaching series. In this teaching, we tackle the second pair of principles listed in Hebrews 6 – baptism and the laying on of hands. It is not until we have an understanding of the traditional Jewish concept of “mikvah” that clarity is brought to […]
The heart of this Torah project teaching is the question “Can we survive as believers in such a fallen world where society is ever more quickly sliding into darkness?” In pursuit of an answer, we look in detail at the family God gives Joseph in Egypt: his wife Asenath, her father the Egyptian priest of […]
Join us as Dan Remark shares thoughts on the important biblical theme of hospitality. Dan walks us through many biblical examples of hospitality, focusing on the great blessings that come to those who are hospitable. He then focuses on one of the greatest examples of anti-hospitality in the Bible, Nabal. As the fall festivals draw […]
Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our Torah Project series. In this lesson, we analyze the well-known story of how Jacob used guile to procure Esau’s blessing. This story is often a cause of confusion, but if we look behind the scenes, we may discover an entirely different dynamic. We also discuss the startling link between this narrative and Y […]
Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our study of Hebrews. In this study we once again look at the purpose of spiritual discipline in our lives and its two outcomes. We also gain new insights into the story of Jacob and Esau and compare Mt.Sinai to Mt.Zion and see how they depict the physical and […]
