Acharei Mot-Kedoshim

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   This week Parashat Kedoshim stresses that there are laws to be spoken to the entire nation which are necessary for their "holiness":   Vayikra/Leviticus 19:1 And YHWH spoke to Moshe, saying, 2 "Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: 'You shall be holy, for I YHWH your Elohim am holy.   Perhaps the reason for the mass gathering was all of the Ten Commandments are contained in this...

These 50 Days

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   Once again, due to the week of Unleavened Bread, there is a skip in the regular Torah readings.   Yeshua spoke more about the Kingdom than any other topic. Why is this? Because the Kingdom is the completion of the covenant made with Avraham. We can expect that the evil one would be all about preventing the realization of the Kingdom. The 50 days of the counting of the omer are important days that picture the process of the restoration of all of Israel. Last year,...
