Friday Bible Study (9/11/26) // Nehemiah 6: 15-19 (ESV) // The Wall Is Finished // 15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days. 16 And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God. 17 Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them. 18 For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah: and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as his wife. 19 Also they spoke of his good deeds in my presence and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to make me afraid.#Nehemiah #BookOfNehemiah #BibleStudy #BibleExplained #Bible #BiblicalStudies #BibleTeacher #WordOfGod #BiblicalLessons #BibleJournal #BibleReading #BibleStudyNotes #biblestudycommunity #ChicagoChurch #BibleVerseWebsite: https://mbchicago.org FOLLOW US Facebook:   / mbc.chicago   Instagram:   / mbc.chicago   TikTok:   / mbc.chicago   Podcasts: Listen on Apple, Spotify & others TO SUPPORT US Zelle to: info@mbchicago.org Web: https://mbchicago.org/give Venmo: https://venmo.com/mbchurch DAF Donations: https://every.org/mbc.chicago PayPal/Credit: https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_but...

This episode originally aired on 9/16/24 but is just as relevant today. Enjoy this replay as we get ready for Yom Kippur.--Today, I am speaking with Yaffa Moskowitz, the Director of Education at ⁠Midreshet Rachel V'Chaya⁠, a seminary in Jerusalem. Here's a little more about Yaffa: She is a native member the Far Rockaway community and was active in that community and the Five Towns for many years. Yaffa, her husband Danny, and seven children made aliya in the summer of 2013 and now live in Mitzpe Yericho. Yaffa served as teacher and Director of Ateres Seminary for women on the Queens College Campus for 13 years and she was also involved in the Neshei Shor Yoshuv community where she gave chaburas for married women.I met Yaffa when I was a student exactly seven years ago at Midreshet Rachel and have continued to learn from her and with her since. She has such a wealth of knowledge and this conversation really turned into the perfect thing to listen to right in the middle of Elul preparing for the chagim.During this time at Midreshet Rachel, the students learn from the sefer, Tomer Devorah, which teaches us about Hashem's 13 Attributes of Mercy. As we learn about Hashem and understand who He is more, so to speak, we learn how we can emulate Him more in our own lives, and we used that text as the jumping off point for our conversation. As we spoke, we explored:-What a “sin” actually is in Judaism (it may not be what you think) and how we can always get back on track-How to separate ourselves from the sin and retain our confidence and closeness to G-d through the process-How we can get to the core of what emunah really is on the most basic level and use these foundational concepts to connect to Hashem more deeply-The restraint Hashem has with us every day and how we can apply that concept to our own lives and actions-How to work on letting go of control-Why we should speak to ourselves with more compassion from a Torah perspective-When fear is appropriate in Judaism and what kind of fear that actually is talking about-How we can continue to grow and elevate ourselves year after year…and SO MUCH MORE!To learn more about Midreshet Rachel V'Chaya, click ⁠here⁠.

What if the thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances—but a belief about yourself that was never true to begin with? We can spend years trying to fix our relationships, change our circumstances, prove our value, or become someone “better,” without ever questioning the reality underneath it all. This episode invites you to look beneath the struggle and confront the beliefs that may be shaping far more of your life than you realize.These seven days offer a powerful opportunity to step out of the patterns that have defined the past and choose a different way forward. If you've ever wondered why you can know something intellectually but still not feel it, why old reactions keep pulling you back, or what it would take to finally live from your deepest sense of truth, this conversation offers a new place to look. What you discover may change the way you see yourself—and what you believe is possible.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.  Watch LIVE this coming MOND at 10 am PT / 1pm ET on The Kabbalah Centre YouTube or catch the latest episode wherever you listen to podcasts.Find out more about our work, dig into our archives, and send us a message at: www.weeklyenergyboost.com.You can also help make Weekly Energy Boost possible by making a tax-deductible contribution at www.weeklyenergyboost.com/donate-today.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 13, 2026 is: shofar • SHOH-far • noun A shofar is the horn of an animal (usually a ram) blown as a trumpet by the ancient Hebrews in battle and during religious observances. It is used in modern Judaism especially during Rosh Hashanah and at the end of Yom Kippur. // As a child, Eli's favorite part of the High Holidays was the sounding of the shofar. See the entry > Examples: “Sheep were domesticated in ancient Mesopotamia over ten thousand years ago and we have the ancient cave paintings to prove it. Sheep appear in folklore, religion, and mythology from all over the world: the Greek golden fleece, the Jewish shofar, the Egyptian Pharaoh's shepherd's crook, Christianity's Agnus Dei.” — Celia Mattison, Literary Hub, 30 Oct. 2025 Did you know? One of the shofar's original uses was to proclaim the Jubilee year (a year of emancipation of enslaved Jews and restoration of alienated lands to their former owners). Today, it is mainly used in synagogues during the High Holidays. It is blown daily, except on Shabbat, during the month of Elul (the 12th month of the civil year or the 6th month of the ecclesiastical year in the Jewish calendar), and is sounded a number of times during the Rosh Hashanah services, and again at the end of the last service (known as neilah) on Yom Kippur. The custom is to sound the shofar in several series that alternate shorter notes resembling sobbing and wailing with longer unbroken blasts.

I recorded this one because of a conversation I had with a friend that morning. She opened up about how weary she was getting, how much she was questioning whether God was even there for her, and I sat there thinking, oh my goodness, me too. That is the moment I knew I had to press record. Here is what I want us to settle today: opposition is not evidence that we heard God wrong. If you are building something you know God handed you, and it is getting harder instead of easier, and the doubt is starting to whisper that you made the whole thing up, this episode is for you. I walk through three people in Scripture who got a clear assignment from God and then ran straight into resistance. Moses, who had every reason to say no. Paul, who spent years locked up while the work he was called to do waited on the outside. And Nehemiah, who stared at a pile of rubble and still believed there was a wall in it. I also get honest about my own crisis of faith. I gave God my business, my platform, my calling, my finances, all of it, and then found myself in a life that looked nothing like what I expected. Unanswered prayer after unanswered prayer. I know what it feels like when the fire dims. I also know what it takes to get it back. The enemy has one strategy here, and it is not complicated. Wear us down until we quit. This episode is the reminder that we are not alone in it, we are in very good company, and the assignment is still ours to finish. I close with a prayer over you, your life, your business, and your calling.

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:11-12 "...for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need." 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 "And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me... And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'" Exodus 4:10-12 "Then Moses said to the LORD, 'O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.' So the LORD said to him... 'Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.'" Exodus 1 through 14 The full account of Moses leading the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt. Nehemiah 6:3 "So I sent messengers to them, saying, 'I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?'" Nehemiah 6:15 "So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days." Genesis 50:20 "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." Psalm 42:11 "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God." Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." 1 Timothy 6:12 "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." Key Takeaways • Opposition is not a redirect. In business and in calling, the resistance is usually the part we are meant to persevere through, not the sign we heard God wrong. • The enemy's strategy is not creative, it is consistent. Wear us down with doubt until we quit on our own. Naming the strategy takes most of its power away. • We are never the only one. Every person in Scripture who carried a real assignment carried real opposition with it. That includes Moses, Joseph, Paul, and Nehemiah, and it includes us. • The prison is not always the interruption. Paul wrote from confinement, and some of the most enduring letters in the New Testament came out of the season he probably considered his most wasted. • The delay is not the denial. Joseph waited roughly 20 years, and when it came, it did not look like the vision he had been shown. • Weakness is not disqualification. Moses had a speech difficulty and was called to speak to a nation. Paul had a thorn he asked God three times to remove. God used both men exactly as they were. • We are not built to carry the assignment alone. Nehemiah rebuilt a wall in 52 days because he cast the vision clearly and got other people to pick up a tool. • Distraction is opposition wearing a friendlier outfit. Nehemiah's answer, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down," is a complete sentence and a complete strategy. Action Steps 1. Name what you are actually facing. Write down the specific opposition in front of you right now. Money, silence, rejection, exhaustion, a launch that flopped. Get it out of your head and onto paper, because vague dread is heavier than a named problem. 2. Run it through one question. Has God told you to stop, or is this just hard? Obedience to a clear no is faithfulness. Quitting in the middle of a hard yes is something else. Be honest about which one you are looking at. 3. Borrow Nehemiah's line this week. Pick the one distraction pulling hardest at your attention and say no to it out loud: "I am doing a great work, so I cannot come down." Then go do the work. 4. Take one next step, not the whole staircase. Do one thing this week that only makes sense if the vision is true. Send the email. Record the episode. Make the offer. Faith moves before the evidence shows up. 5. Do not carry it by yourself. Call the friend. Have the honest conversation. My whole day turned around because one friend told me the truth about where she was, and I got to tell her the truth about where I was. Encouragement is a two way street and both of us needed it. 6. Pray the specific prayer. Ask God to strengthen your spirit and your mind, clear the doubt, and refill you with the fire and the faith to keep moving one step at a time. That is the prayer I prayed over you at the end of this episode, and it is worth praying over yourself all week. If this episode met you where you are, come back next week. I have three more people from Scripture I want to walk through with us, and the encouragement keeps coming. Much love, Mia :)

Welcome to Daily Bread for Busy Moms, a daily Bible reading podcast from Israel. Each day, we journey through the Scriptures together by following the weekly Torah portion one section at a time, along with readings from the Prophets, Writings, and Apostolic Scriptures. In just one year, you'll read through the Bible while following the biblical calendar and feast cycle. As we approach the beginning of a new reading year on Simchat Torah, we're excited to announce that the brand-new Daily Bread Journal is now available! Every year, a completely new journal is created for the upcoming reading cycle, and this year's journal will guide us through the Scriptures beginning October 4. The Daily Bread podcast follows the journal's unique reading plan, making the journal the perfect companion for your daily Bible reading journey. If you've been listening along and would like a place to record prayers, take notes, and follow the readings throughout the year, now is the perfect time to reserve your copy.

Rav Chisda's requirement for complete mastery of all twenty-four priestly gifts is rejected based on Rabbi Simeon's standard: any kohen who acknowledges the validity of the Temple service (modeh b'avoda) is eligible to receive gifts. Deriving from "v'natan" ("and he shall give"), kohanim are forbidden from grabbing gifts, prompting Abaye to outline his personal practice that developed from seizing gifts to eventually refusing them altogether, except on the Eve of Yom Kippur to demonstrate his priestly lineage. Rav Yosef rules that a kohen can assign gifts to an impoverished scholar even before taking physical possession. However, when Rava insisted a host's servant assign gifts to himself and Rav Safra, Rava ate while Rav Safra refrained; Rav Safra subsequently experienced a troubling dream regarding improper conduct, prompting the Gemara into a broader ethical discussion condemning the instruction of an unworthy student who will misconstrue the teacher's words. Addressing mixed partnerships with a non-Jew or kohen, the Gemara clarifies contradictory sources regarding when marking the animal is required to prevent public suspicion (mar'it ayin). Resolving a dispute between Rav Huna and Chiya bar Rav, the Gemara rejects Chiya bar Rav - explaining his misinterpretation of the braita listing the twenty-four priestly gifts - and concludes that a kohen's partial ownership in a specific section of an animal exempts only that corresponding gift, such that partial ownership of the head exempts the jaw, while the foreleg and abomasum remain obligated. Where an Israelite owns the head and a kohen owns the rest of the body, the Gemara establishes that halakhic liability follows the locus of obligation, requiring the Israelite to give the jaw.
