Ki Tetze

Shalom!   One of my favorite Jewish teachers of the Torah is Rabbi David Fohrman. He has many Torah videos on www.alephbeta.org, but this week I "happened" on a longer audio presentation he had done for a different audience. The subject matter further expanded on a teaching Rabbi Fohrman had previously posted on his website concerning this verse on the "law of the mother bird":   Devarim/Deuteronomy 22:6 " If a bird's nest happens to be...

Shoftim

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   In parashat Shoftim, we read the interesting details in the protocol for war. I love how it starts with an admonition to "not be afraid" followed by a pep talk from the priest:   Devarim/Deuteronomy 20:1 "When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for YHWH your Elohim is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. 2 "So it shall be, when...

Va'etchanan

Ardelle Brody

Shalom! Mark 12:28 Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"   And Yeshua answers -   Mark 12:29 ..."The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear (Shema), O Israel, YHWH our Elohim, YHWH is one. 30 'And you shall love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your...
