Will Hashem Himself kill Edom? Or will it be the Archangel Michael? Different strands of Jewish Tradition.

What if some of the details in the Gospel of John were designed to remind its original audience of the Scriptures they had recently heard read in the synagogue? Today, Jewish communities read through the Torah on an annual cycle, beginning each year again in the seventh month of Tishri. But during the first century, Jewish communities in the land of Israel followed a Triennial Torah Reading Cycle, reading through the Torah over three years. Evidence suggests that some communities began the cycle in the month of Nisan. This ancient reading cycle opens a fascinating window into the Gospel of John. In this introductory lesson, we explore the work of Aileen Guilding and her book The Fourth Gospel and Jewish Worship. Guilding proposed that many of the themes, images, and even the timing of events in John's Gospel may be connected with the Torah and Haftarah readings being heard in the synagogue. The story of the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 provides a remarkable example. When we place the story within the proposed synagogue readings for the month of Shevat (Jan/Feb), an extraordinary collection of connections begins to emerge. The readings include Exodus 2, where Moses meets his future wife at a well, and Hosea 2, with its powerful promise of Israel's restoration: "In that day...you will call me 'my husband.'" Suddenly, John's presentation of Jesus as the Bridegroom coming to reclaim his bride becomes even richer. Another reading takes us directly into the ancient dispute between Jews and Samaritans. Deuteronomy 27:4 instructs Israel in the Masoretic Hebrew tradition to erect an altar on Mount Ebal, while the Samaritan Pentateuch preserves Mount Gerizim—the very mountain at the center of the Samaritan woman's conversation with Jesus: "Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem." — John 4:20 Coincidence? Or is John deliberately weaving the synagogue readings familiar to his audience into the story he is telling? Join us as we introduce the Triennial Torah Reading Cycle, examine Aileen Guilding's influential theory, and begin exploring how the Torah, the Prophets, Jewish worship, and the Gospel of John may fit together in ways that modern readers often miss. -------------------------------- www.figtreeministries.org Lesson Handout: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/blog/the-triennial-torah-cycle-the-hidden-key-to-the-gospel-of-john Article: https://www.figtreeteaching.com/uploads/1/1/9/7/119763168/fig_tree_ministries_gospel_of_john_and_triennial_synagogue_reading_v2.pdf Aileen Guilding Life and Work: https://www.academia.edu/2640173/Aileen_Guilding_her_Life_and_her_Work Book "The Fourth Gospel and Jewish Worship" - https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Gospel-Jewish-Worship/dp/B0014ZYUPQ/ref=sr_1_1_so_ABIS_BOOK?crid=3MA82I0OEKJ7O&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.91goByv-PHqn0mD5iyA-ffIUPjIJAa4lpB_X8RBpm_Nmv-6l37ocJcPdF8jRtLX385NXjImzokdeV0-_y54_9gDpHZJfw-3RNNXwWs8IdebfpZ30Xd3Ml1IjnkOkz3t16IeQGiLqB9Hoz5D7Gu9ZutwwnH4zR-4Fsip0LKuGofA7148Grl7s1NxG2BTiHNL-MYOGigjjOLwC3iQSSwSu1lSCmS90uIyMQxqr_AgSLQ0.8mqys_ON7zUWnJTxfrvpJs2oqAE-0Jknc2wRLG5caJE&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+fourth+gospel+and+jewish+worship&qid=1787344134&sprefix=the+fourth+gospel+and+jewish+worship%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-1

This is the final episode of our Haftarah series, the last prophecy of comfort that brings us to a new year. This week we sat down with Rabbanit Malke Bina, president and founder of Matan, to study Yeshayahu 61, a prophecy of comfort which encourages the nation to change its clothes and name as a sign of its renewed identity. We explore the challenges implicit in finding comfort after loss and the ways God encourages the nation to trust Him that they will never be left again. This week's episode has been sponsored in honor of Rabbi Ed and Bobbie Winter's 61st wedding anniversary by their children and grandchildren. Bobbie and Ed are strong supporters of Matan and women's Torah learning. Mazal tov to them on reaching this amazing milestone, and may they continue to enjoy their family and deepen their Torah learning for many years to come. This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

In this conversation with Rabbanit Jennifer Raskas, we discuss the many ways this chapter (Yeshayahu 60) parallels the future redemption with our weekly taste of it on Shabbat. We also discuss the ways R. Shlomo Albabetz reworks many of these themes into his famous composition Lecha Dodi, sung as Shabbat arrives. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

The sharp (and deep) conversation between בְּרוּרְיָה and the Jew for J

Beloved, this installment of The Messianic Torah Observer takes us deep into Parashat Ki Teitzei, one of the most commandment-rich and, at first glance, challenging readings of the annual Torah cycle. But buried in the middle of its warfare ethics, family laws, property responsibilities, and moral instructions are powerful Kingdom truths that point us directly to Messiah, the nations, and Yah's covenant faithfulness. In this teaching, we will examine Deuteronomy 21:22–23 and see why Paul, in Galatians 3:13, reaches back into this very passage to explain what happened on Golgotha. Yeshua did not become a curse because of His own sin or rebellion. He became a curse for us, redeeming us from the curse that our rebellion deserved. Torah did not hide the work of Messiah from us; Torah instead pointed to it all along. We will also look at the Torah of the captive woman in Deuteronomy 21:10–14 and consider how, from a deeper spiritual reading, this passage foreshadows the nations being brought near unto Yah through Mashiyach. Those who were once strangers to the covenants of promise are now brought into the household of Elohim, but not without the stripping away of the old identity, old garments, and old way of life. Finally, we will turn to Isaiah 54, the Haftarah reading for this week and part of the traditional Seven Weeks of Consolation. Here, Yah speaks comfort to the barren, scattered, and forsaken one, commanding her to sing, enlarge her tent, and trust in His unshakable covenant of peace. As we move through this traditional season of Elul and draw closer to Yom Teruah and the Fall Feasts, this word reminds us that Yah's steadfast love has not departed from His covenant people.  

Parshat Shoftim asks a powerful question: What does God expect from us as we move toward redemption? From justice and leadership to courage and faith, this week's Torah portion reveals that redemption is not only something we wait for—it is something we are called to participate in.

This conversation with Rabbanit Shani Taragin mines the year's shortest Haftarah for insight into Yeshayahu's complex and meaningful set of female imagery describing the people's relationship with God. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

This week's conversation with Dr. Yael Ziegler explores the parallels between this week's prophecy of comfort and earlier, painful images from the book of Eicha that Yeshayahu flips on their head. The prophet also reminds his listeners that God can bring redemption with the same strong arm He used to take us out of Egypt. This episode has been sponsored in honor of the birthday celebration of Dr. Maurice Brygel of Melbourne, Australia. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

This is a live recording of The Land of Israel Fellowship, recorded live on Sunday, August 2, 2026, exploring Parshat Ekev and its Haftarah from the Book of Isaiah. What does it mean to stand inside Bible prophecy as it unfolds? In this powerful Fellowship teaching, Ari Abramowitz shares two extraordinary experiences from the same week—one on Mount Gerizim (Har Bracha) in Samaria and the other in Jerusalem's rebuilt Hurva Synagogue—that reveal how the words of Moses and Isaiah are coming to life in our generation. Journey through Parshat Ekev as we explore Israel's covenant, the role of the nations in God's plan, the restoration of Judea and Samaria, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and the breathtaking fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Along the way, Ari reflects on HaYovel's new visitor center, the sacrifice of Israeli heroes, the beauty of Shabbat in Jerusalem, and the powerful lesson that redemption is built by those willing to offer what is most precious to God. Whether you are passionate about Israel, Bible prophecy, the Torah, or understanding God's unfolding redemption, this message will encourage, challenge, and inspire you. In this teaching you'll discover: • Parshat Ekev explained • The connection between Ekev and Isaiah's Haftarah • Why the nations have a role in Israel's redemption • The prophetic significance of Judea and Samaria today • The rebuilding of the Hurva Synagogue and Jerusalem • The biblical meaning of chosenness and covenant • HaYovel's work in the heart of Samaria • How God's promises are unfolding before our eyes #ParshatEkev #TorahPortion #Israel #BibleProphecy #Jerusalem #Judea #Samaria #Haftarah #Isaiah #LandOfIsrael #ChristianZionism #JewishRoots #BibleStudy #EndTimes #Prophecy

Tragedy, especially prolonged tragedy, brings depression in its wake

In this dynamic conversation with Dr. Elana Stein Hain, we explore the evocative images utilized by the prophet in this week's Haftarah (Yeshayahu 49-51). We flesh out how they are used to describe the depths of Tzion's feeling of abandonment and the ways God promises to bring us back to the land and remain His nation. This year the Matan Podcast is studying the weekly Haftarah reading.

The four obstacles to building a "Straight Road to Hashem"כְּנֶגֶד הָאַרְבַּע גָּלוּיוֹת?

This week begins the seven prophecies of comfort chosen from Yeshayahu 40-66, which stretch all the way until Rosh Hashanah. This conversation between Dr. Tanya White and Rabbanit Rachelli Sprecher Fraenkel explores the literal and existential concept of comfort when relating to the Jewish people and to God Himself. What does it look like to have hope after tragedy? What comforts the weary? Our hosts study this famous prophecy in search of responses to these questions. This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

Shabbat Chazon (Sabbath of Vision) is the Sabbath just before the Fast of Av. It is the “saddest” Sabbath of the year. Its namecomes from the Haftarah in Isaiah 1. “The vision [chazon] of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem.”This week's portion is called Dvarim (Words)TORAH PORTION: Deuteronomy 3:15–22HAFTARAH: Isaiah 1:1–27APOSTLES: Matthew 3:1–12How does the Haftarah connect to this season of correction?How do the Apostles connect to this season of correction?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

Welcome, beloved, to this Shabbat Chazon teaching from The Messianic Torah Observer. Today, on the Sabbath of Vision, we slow our rhythm down and consider what Yah may be showing His set-apart people as we approach Tisha B'Av and sit inside Parashat Devarim — Moshe's final words to the generation preparing to enter the Land. In this discussion, we look at Deuteronomy 1:1–3:22, Isaiah 1:1–27, and John 2:19–21, asking what it means for Yah to show His people the Temple they lost — not as punishment, but as an awakening unto longing, repentance, and restoration. And for those of us who are Yeshua-focused Torah keepers, we see that Temple ultimately embodied in our Master Yehoshua Messiah, the One who was broken, buried, and raised in three days. Halleluyah. If this teaching blesses you, please take the time this Shabbat to read and meditate upon Parashat Devarim, the Haftarah of Isaiah 1, and John's witness concerning the Temple of Yeshua's body. May Yah use this Sabbath of Vision to show us what must be mourned, what must be repented of, and what He alone is able to restore.

"You were not spared because you are righteous! In fact, God hates your so-called mitzvos!"

In this conversation with Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash we delve into the two-pronged focus of Yeshayahu 1 which chastises the people's empty ritual observance and the social ills that plagued the population. This conversation explores the many bridges between this famous prophecy and contemporary societal challenges . This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

This week's episode with Dr. Ayelet Hoffman Libson explores the parsha's depiction of the nation in transition--between the idyllic depiction in the first ten chapters of the book and the series of complaints that follow. Our guest offers a novel and moving interpretation of this narrative flow.

This week we sit down with Dr. Elana Stein Hain to explore the way Yirmiyahu elaborates upon and adds layers of theological nuance to the concept of divinely bestowed blessings and curses. We touch upon the idea of national and individual retribution and the way Yirmiyahu tried to fight the dominant beliefs of his time. This episode has been sponsored in memory of Notah David ben Yerachmiel on his 25th Yahrzeit. This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

Perhaps the special regulations in the haftorah (which caused so much controversy in the Talmud) are a reward for those kohanim who stayed loyal to the Torah at a time when others (kohanim and regular Jews) went off the derech

Today in History: In 1948 CE, David Ben-Gurion made Israel's declaration of independence. We “hereby declare the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel, to be known as the State of Israel … Placing our trust in the ‘Rock of Israel,' we affix our signatures to this proclamation.” The new state was recognized that night by the United States, soon followed by the USSR (now Russia). At the same time, it was attacked by five Arab countries. "Yom Ha'Atzmaut" (Israel Independence Day) is normally celebrated on the 5th of Iyar, but it is moved earlier or later if thecelebration would conflict with Shabbat.

The signs of a kosher animal serve as spiritual benchmarks to ensure our physical involvements remain refined. The juxtaposition of the Mishkan's inauguration with prohibitions against eating insects teaches that even the most spiritually exalted individual requires the discipline of divine decrees to remain grounded. King David's "leaping and dancing" before the Ark in this week's Haftarah represents a state of joy that transcends intellect, serving as a model for our own connection to Hashem as we approach the era of Moshiach. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Shemini in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.
