In this year’s Hanukkah teaching, Grant begins with a picture from the calendar of the flesh decreasing and the spirit increasing. He goes on to “string some pearls” related to the spirit and the flesh. Finally, he draws from Torah portion Mikeitz two ways the Believer can relate to the Messiah. Video (Grant): Vimeo | […]
This week, brother Steve Meeks leads us through the Jordan from Joshua 4, bringing some practical suggestions with him. In the parsha teaching, David examines a kind of inner rest that closes out the month of Kislev. Joshua 4 (Steve): Vimeo | YouTube Vayeshev & Joshua 4 (David): Vimeo | […]
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 […]
One of the most dramatic Torah portions, parsha Vayigash witnesses Joseph reveal himself to his brothers. In this week’s teaching, we puzzle through Joseph’s strange treatment of his brothers leading up to this revelation, we look at secrets connecting the Tetragrammaton to the names “Judah” and “David,” we hear several fascinating quotes from rabbis regarding […]

We begin this combined teaching on Torah portions Mikeitz and Vayigash with a few thoughts connected to experiencing Chanukah in the Land of Israel. We then briefly summarize Joseph’s genius as he provides the opportunity for his brothers to repent. Finally, we explore several teaching points from Joseph’s story with an emphasis on seeing Yeshua’s proper position […]
Join Beth Tikkun as two of our members, Nate Gurnish and Brandon Rose, fill in for Grant who is away in Israel. Nate and Brandon share their thoughts on Torah portion Vayeishev, the beginnings of one of the longest stories in the entire Bible, the story of Joseph. Visuals: no visuals Medios Visuales:
After a brief overview of the main topics in Vayeitzei, we explore the curious Aramaic word “memra” which occurs in the ancient Aramaic translation of this parshah and which John makes reference to in his gospel. Moving on, we reflect on Jacob’s interactions with the character named “Red” and a new character named “White.” Lastly, […]
We begin this Torah Project teaching by focusing on an important pattern seen clearly in both Joseph’s story and in the story of Moses, a pattern that reveals a key to God’s intimate revelation of Himself to us. We then explore the curious turn of events in which Joseph acquires Egypt’s wealth, livestock, land, and […]
This Torah Project teaching begins by looking back to an interesting message contained within Genesis 43 verse 30. We find there the biblical Hebrew word that comes closest to our English word “emotion,” “nic’meru,” from the root “comer.” This amazing root yields a collection of meanings that, together, form a deeply instructive picture of the […]
In this Torah Project teaching, we closely compare and contrast the two brothers Judah and Joseph, finding in them pictures of the “outer” and the “inner” person, the seen and the unseen. As we explore in this way, we gain understandings into the human condition since we are each composed of physical and spiritual elements. […]
We continue Joseph’s incredible story in this Torah Project teaching, furthering our list of Messianic parallels seen in Joseph’s life story. We begin with a verse that establishes a turning point in Joseph’s life that points to Messiah’s return after 2 thousand years of physical absence. Moving on to yet another pair of dreams (Pharaoh’s), […]
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 […]
Joseph’s adventure continues with his imprisonment, the second of three consecutive stories in which Joseph is given authority over a domain. In this Torah Project teaching, we take a close look at Joseph’s cellmates, the cupbearer and the baker, finding in them connections to the wine and bread, the blood and the body, the elevated […]
Continuing the Torah Project teaching series, we dig into the story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife, the first of 3 stories in which Joseph is given authority over a domain. Reading Joseph as Messiah and reading Potiphar (and his wife) as the believer, we ask the question, “How can the believer tempt the Messiah to […]
In this Torah Project teaching, we finish our study of Genesis 37 with a review of the key concept of “2 Messiahs” (Mashiach ben Yoseph and Mashiach ben David), and we extend our list of Messianic parallels between the stories of Joseph and Yeshua, adding 17 corollaries in just these 19 verses in chapter 37. […]
Continuing the Torah Project teachings in Genesis 37, we begin by looking in depth at the amazing figure of Joseph, one of the clearest pictures of Messiah in all of Scripture. We start by examining the Hebrew word describing Joseph’s colorful coat, “passim,” finding in it both a reference to the Messiah and an allusion […]
In this Torah Project teaching, we begin by addressing the question of the validity of extra-biblical sources, especially Jewish sources. We look at several mentions in the Bible of extra-biblical works, explore the Greek word for “oracles” in Romans 3, then look at a particularly helpful extra-biblical source on Genesis 37:2 that draws many comparisons […]
Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our Torah Project series. In this lesson, we discuss the longest paragraph found in the Torah and attempt to understand what God is trying to convey to us through it.
