Naso

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   This week in our Torah portion, Naso, YHWH commands the Aaronic priests to bless the people of Israel by placing His Name upon them. In the beautiful words of the Aaronic blessing, we have the amazing opportunity to see an example of what our Creator Himself considers to be a proper "blessing":   Bemidbar/Numbers 6:22 And YHWH spoke to Moshe, saying: 23 "Speak to Aharon and his sons, saying, 'This is the way you shall bless the children of...

Bemidbar

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   The book of Vayikra/Leviticus ended with the counting of flocks to determine how many animals would be set apart to the Holy One. We then roll right into Bemidbar/Numbers where YHWH will build on that understanding to show how He will set His chosen ones apart from the rest of the world. Each Israelite was counted individually, but was also part of a tribe. Each person was an important part of the unified people of Israel. This order which separated and divided, yet kept...

Behar/Bechukotai

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   Sometimes we get so fixed on how we can keep the commandments in our particular place of residence, whether that be the USA, Australia, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, or wherever, that we forget that YHWH's plan was to give the Torah to a specific people who were called OUT of Egypt at a specific time and taken to a specific place for a specific reason. The Father's desire was to bless His obedient children in a Land of Promise in a way that was totally...

Emor

Ardelle Brody

Shalom   Last week in Parashat Kedushim, we were encouraged to "be holy as He is holy." This week the theme of holiness continues as Parashat Emor begins with many instructions for the priesthood concerning their personal life. YHWH wants to make it clear that He desires to be in the midst of both our ministry and our personal life. The priests of Israel must not only "talk the talk", but most importantly "walk the walk". Yeshua had something to say to...

Acharei Mot/Kedoshim

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   For weeks now, we have been mentioning that Vayikra/Leviticus is the book of "holiness". This week Parashat Kedoshim begins with YHWH telling Moshe to address the entire congregation imploring them to be holy:   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.   The command begs the question,...
