“Shemot” means “names,” and we look at the Hebrew for several names in this week’s teaching. Before we do so, we ask the question, “Why did Israel have to go down to Egypt?” Other topics include four uses of the phrase “on the stones” and the “deep” subject of four men who meet four women […]
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 […]
In looking at the text of 1 Corinthians chapters 8 & 9, we admire Paul’s ability to be flexible and gracious for the sake of the gospel, giving up his own rights when necessary to win over all kinds of people. We also learn more about dietary issues facing 1st century Believers, we look at […]
As is our tradition on the Sabbath before Yom Kippur, this week we “retell” the Yom Kippur story through the details described in Leviticus 16. Join us as we rehearse the “story” of this sacred ritual at the Temple which is the foundation of all the other stories in the Word, a description of what […]
Join us as we dive into the “most spiritual” of King Solomon’s 3 books, the Song of Songs. We begin by acknowledging the intimate subject of the book; this rather plain-spoken introduction is followed by a lesson on interpreting allegory with the help of the Hebrew word “ani” which means “I” or “boat.” We then […]
Join us for this special Passover Torah Project teaching. Using as our starting point the Genesis 46 record of the 70 souls who descended to Egypt, we explore the concept that Israel is formed in the womb of Egypt and birthed from that place during the Exodus. We look into how God has wonderfully hidden […]
Join us as we celebrate the Feast of Dedication together with our new host congregation, Riverside Alliance Church in Akron, Ohio. Helpful for both the Hanukkah novice and veteran, this teaching focuses on the Hanukkah-related Jewish expectations of Messiah’s self revelation. It all starts with an evil ruler and the desecration of twelve very special […]
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 […]
Join Beth Tikkun as we begin our study in Paul’s letter to the Colossians.
