We delve into the trial of Jesus Christ before Pontius Pilate and Herod. We explore the parallels between Jesus and the Passover lamb, examining how He fulfills the role of the perfect sacrifice. The episode covers key events such as Jesus' silence before His accusers, the crowd's choice of Barabbas over Jesus, and Pilate's attempts to release Jesus. The narrative includes the brutal scourging of Jesus, His mocking by soldiers, and the crowd's demand for His crucifixion. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In ancient times, names were much more significant than they are today. They were carefully chosen, and were sometimes conferred by God himself. Names were descriptive of a person's lineage, character, and in some cases even his destiny. Likewise, God applies a variety of Hebrew names and titles to Himself because He wants us to know more about His character, nature, and attributes.

Rabbi Gordon studies one chapter a day from Maimonides' classic legal work of Mishneh Torah. The original Hebrew text is read and then translated and clearly explained in English.

In this episode, Jennifer Barrett explores the Hebrew grammar of Leviticus 18:4, examining how verb forms shape possible interpretations of the command to do God's judgments and keep His ordinances.

Have you ever felt like everything around you was working against you?In those places, it can be hard to trust that God will still show up with exactly what we need.

Eugene Peterson says, "For Isaiah words are watercolors and melodies and chisels to make truth, and beauty and goodness.  Or as the case may be hammers and swords and scalpels to unmake sin, guilt and rebellion.  He creates visions, delivers revelation, arouses belief.  Isaiah is the supreme poet prophet to come out of the Hebrew people."  The characteristic name for God in Isaiah is "The Holy."  For Isaiah, Holiness is a furnace that transforms the men and women who enter it. Come join us as we take in the "Salvation Symphony" of Judgment (chapters 1-39), Comfort (chapters 40-55) and Hope (chapters 56-66).

Today we will be talking to Yehudah Halper about his new book, Averroes on Pathways to Divine Knowledge (Academic Studies Press, 2025). The twelfth-century Andalusian philosopher Averroes sought to understand the divine in a way independent of religious theology, by turning to the philosophical works of Aristotle and, to a lesser extent, Plato. In doing so, he established standards of scientific inquiry into God that were and remain highly influential on Jewish and Christian thought. Averroes, however, does not provide much in the way of demonstrative knowledge of God, and most of his arguments remain dialectical, rhetorical, or political. This volume explores the various pathways towards attaining divine knowledge that we find in Averroes' commentaries on Aristotle's De Anima, Metaphysics, and Nicomachean Ethics, and on Plato's Republic, along with Averroes' Epistle on Divine Knowledge, Decisive Treatise, and more. Yehuda Halper is Professor in the Department of Jewish Philosophy at Bar Ilan University. He is currently a aisiting professor at University of Chicago Divinity School. His first monograph, Jewish Socratic Questions in an Age without Plato (Brill, 2021) won the Goldstein-Goren Book Award for the best book in Jewish Thought in 2019-2021. He is currently directing the ISF grant (#622/22) "Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Explanation of Foreign Terms and the Foundations of Philosophy in Hebrew." Rabbi Marc Katz is the Senior Rabbi at Temple Ner Tamid. His latest book is Yochanan's Gamble: Judaism's Pragmatic Approach to Life. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this engaging Ask Away #23 episode of the Everyday Judaism podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe fields practical kosher questions emphasizing accessibility for all levels of observance. Key topics include acquiring utensils from non-Jews: new metal items require Tevilah (immersion in a mikvah) but not Kashering if unused, while repaired vessels over 3–5 ounces need re-Tevilah only if significantly renewed. Countertops like granite are easily Kashered with boiling water, but manufactured stones (e.g., quartz/quartzite) may pose absorption issues—consult a rabbi before purchase. Porcelain sinks can't be Kashered, favoring stainless steel; Formica Kashers via hot water pour-over or steaming iron. Grills reaching 600°F self-Kasher through Libun Gamur (full incineration), and oven self-clean cycles achieve the same.Callers explore nuances like rust (clean for health, not halacha), small vessels (exempt from re-Tevilah if repaired minimally), and non-kosher materials (wood, plastic, silicone can't be Kashered—dedicate new ones to meat/dairy/parve). Mikvahs are pristine via advanced filtration, with separate pools for women, men, and utensils to maintain sanctity. Rabbi Wolbe shares anecdotes, like koshering a friend's grill covertly or his grandmother's accidental dairy-after-meat dessert, stressing mistakes are growth opportunities—inform hosts of your kitchen status to avoid issues.On broader themes, Rabbi Wolbe advises against expecting moral perfection from politicians; Jewish voting prioritizes safety for Jews here and in Israel, reevaluating per election without herd mentality. Torah leaders (e.g., Rebbe Aaron Leib Steinman) exemplify angelic character alongside wisdom. The episode promotes mikvah tours, supporting Jewish products when possible, and embracing ones personal spiritual journey without shame.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #73) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

I need your help," she said as he was already getting ready to assist.He: נוֹעם חייך, ומבטו ברק מהתרגשות.En: Noam smiled, his eyes shining with excitement.He: הוא תמיד חלם על ניהול בית בד משלו, וזה היה אבן דרך בתחילת הדרך.En: He always dreamed of managing his own olive press, and this was a milestone at the start of the journey.He: יחד הם פנו לתמר, מנהיגת הקהילה.En: Together they approached Tamar, the community leader.He: תמר, שדאגה להצלחת החגיגה, הקשיבה בריכוז.En: Tamar, concerned with the celebration's success, listened intently.He: "אנחנו צריכים אופציה לתוכניות אחרות, אם הקטיף לא יצליח," הציעה תמר.En: "We need an alternative plan if the harvest doesn't succeed," suggested Tamar.He: יהודה ועוד חברים הצטרפו במהירות.En: Yehuda and other friends quickly joined in.He: כל אחד ואחת נתנו כתף בעבודה.En: Everyone put in their share of the work.He: הקהילה התאחדה, ממלאת דליים בזיתים טריים.En: The community came together, filling buckets with fresh olives.He: הקרקע הייתה חלקה, אך יעל ונוֹעם ניהלו את העבודה בקפידה.En: The ground was slippery, but Yael and Noam managed the work meticulously.He: כמו במעין רוק מהיר, הזיתים הועברו אל בית הבד.En: Like a fast-paced dance, the olives were transported to the olive press.He: בלילה הראשון של חנוכה, הקהילה התאספה.En: On the first night of Hanukkah, the community gathered.He: כולם הדליקו את המנורה עם השמן שהופק במאמצי עבודה משותפים.En: Everyone lit the menorah with the oil produced through their joint efforts.He: חום האש הריצד על פני כולם, והחיוכים היו רחבים ונשמעו כקולות של אחדות ושמחה.En: The warmth of the fire flickered over everyone's faces, and the smiles were broad, echoing sounds of unity and joy.He: יעל הבינה את כוחו של הקהילה; נועם הרגיש שהחלום יכול להפוך למציאות.En: Yael understood the power of the community; Noam felt that the dream could become a reality.He: החגיגה נמשכה בכל רחבי הכנרת.En: The celebration continued all around the Kinneret.He: תמר חייכה כשהביטה בכולם חוגגים.En: Tamar smiled as she watched everyone celebrating.He: הסיפור הזה של סליחה, שאיפות ושיתוף פעולה הכניס את כולם לאמונה שגם כשהים קר ורוחות נושבות בפתאומיות, כולם יחד הם יכולים לעמוד בפני כל אתגר.En: This story of forgiveness, aspirations, and collaboration instilled in everyone the belief that even when the sea is cold and winds blow suddenly, together they can face any challenge.He: וכך, בצל המנורה, זמרות ושירים על חנוכה נישאו ברחבי ההרים הכנרתיים.En: And so, under the shadow of the menorah, songs and hymns of Hanukkah were carried across the Kinneret hills.He: האור השתלב בריחות ובתחושות, והסיפור נשלח אל הדורות הבאים כזיכרון מתוק ומרגיע של קהילה ונחישות.En: The light mingled with the scents and feelings, and the story was passed on to future generations as a sweet and comforting memory of community and determination.

Nehemiah 8 tells us that as Ezra read the Law of Moses from dawn to midday to the people standing and listening attentively for it was God's Word that was being read and explained with diligence. The people's response in verse 8 was a loud and audible, "Amen, Amen". Ezra urges the people, not to weep but, to rejoice in God's Word as they together share His blessings. Then the chapter says that they kept the Feast of Booths (or Tabernacles) for seven days and then on the 8th day they observe a solemn assembly (Hebrew "holy convocation"). This day is in the Law of Moses only once named - and is known as "Shemini Azaret", or "the day of the righteous" - speaking of eternal life in God's kingdom.Joel 3 tells of the time that will soon come at the time of the end of the kingdom of men. At this time the Lord Jesus Christ will come and set up the kingdom of God on this earth (Revelation 11verses15-19). The great battle of God Almighty is "Armageddon" in Revelation 16verses14-16, - those verses are taken from what we are told in Joel 3. These events were only possible in recent years, because the start of Joel 3 tells us that Israel must be back in their own land with Jerusalem as their capital city. Armageddon will be a time for God's judgments on the nations for their sinfulness and ungodliness and on those nations who that have wrongfully treated His people - Israel. It will be a time for war - a holy war, in fact. The word translated "prepare" in verse 8 means a jihad, or holy war. Verse 10 speaks of a time when the economies of the world are turned from agriculture to war i.e. precisely what we see now. The time that follows will be of peace in the kingdom of Messiah - our Lord Jesus Christ (read Isaiah 2verses1-4; and Micah 4verses1-5). Verse 12 of Joel 3 is where Armageddon is mentioned in the Old Testament. The judgment of the nations is likened to the harvesting of the grain with a scythe (or sickle); it is also compared to the harvesting of the vine and crushing grapes in a winepress.In 2 Thessalonians 3 Paul asks for the believers' prayers that he might be helped to freely teach the gospel without hindrance. From verses 6-15 the Apostle urges the Macedonian faithful to keep working and avoiding idleness. Many had ceased working because they mistakenly thought that the coming of Jesus Christ was so close that they didn't need to work. Idle brothers had to learn to heed the advice contained in this letter. In the last two verses the Apostle Paul asks God to give the believers peace.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Today we will be talking to Yehudah Halper about his new book, Averroes on Pathways to Divine Knowledge (Academic Studies Press, 2025). The twelfth-century Andalusian philosopher Averroes sought to understand the divine in a way independent of religious theology, by turning to the philosophical works of Aristotle and, to a lesser extent, Plato. In doing so, he established standards of scientific inquiry into God that were and remain highly influential on Jewish and Christian thought. Averroes, however, does not provide much in the way of demonstrative knowledge of God, and most of his arguments remain dialectical, rhetorical, or political. This volume explores the various pathways towards attaining divine knowledge that we find in Averroes' commentaries on Aristotle's De Anima, Metaphysics, and Nicomachean Ethics, and on Plato's Republic, along with Averroes' Epistle on Divine Knowledge, Decisive Treatise, and more. Yehuda Halper is Professor in the Department of Jewish Philosophy at Bar Ilan University. He is currently a aisiting professor at University of Chicago Divinity School. His first monograph, Jewish Socratic Questions in an Age without Plato (Brill, 2021) won the Goldstein-Goren Book Award for the best book in Jewish Thought in 2019-2021. He is currently directing the ISF grant (#622/22) "Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Explanation of Foreign Terms and the Foundations of Philosophy in Hebrew." Rabbi Marc Katz is the Senior Rabbi at Temple Ner Tamid. His latest book is Yochanan's Gamble: Judaism's Pragmatic Approach to Life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Day 2736 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – The Profound Meaning of "The Name" of the Lord Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2736 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2736 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled The Profound Meaning of “The Name” of the Lord    Understanding the theology of the Ancient Near East is paramount to fully grasp biblical concepts, and the interpretation of “The Name” of the Lord is no exception. God chose to reveal Himself to Abraham and create the nation of Israel within this culture. Because of this, He revealed Himself in ways that would make sense to believers. In the Ancient Near East, the term “Shem” in Hebrew represents far more than a mere title; it encapsulates the very essence, character, authority, and reputation of God. Let's explore this further and then delve into how this understanding impacts our interpretation of the commandment against taking the Lord's name in vain. “The Name” as Divine Essence   In the Ancient Near East, a deity's name was considered to be the embodiment of the divine essence. Likewise, in the Bible, “The Name” of the Lord represents God Himself. This can be seen in Proverbs 18:10: “The Name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.” Here, “The Name” is equivalent to God's protective power and presence. “The Name” as Manifested Presence   The Name also symbolizes God's manifested presence among His people. When Solomon built the Temple, he believed it to be a dwelling place for God (1 Kings 8:13). However, God clarified that His Name would dwell there, thus emphasizing that His presence transcends physical boundaries. “The Name” as Divine Authority   Invoking a deity's name in the Ancient Near East was a way of drawing on divine authority. Similarly, in the biblical text, “The Name” of the Lord signifies His authority. The misuse of the Lord's Name is cautioned against in Exodus 20:7, underlining the gravity of disrespecting God's authority. “The Name” as Divine Reputation   In Ancient Near East cultures, a deity's name often represented their reputation. In the biblical context, God's Name is a reflection of His character, faithfulness, and commitment to His covenant. As Psalm 23:3 notes, the Lord acts for His Name's sake, demonstrating consistency between His actions and His reputation. Implications for Understanding the Commandment Against Taking the Lord's Name in Vain   With a deeper understanding of “The Name” embodying the essence, presence, authority, and reputation of God, we can reinterpret the commandment against taking the Lord's Name in vain (Exodus 20:7). This commandment is not simply about using God's Name carelessly or disrespectfully in speech. It carries a much broader and deeper meaning. When we take into account the Ancient Near East understanding of “The Name”, to take the Lord's name in vain could imply denying or diminishing God's essence,...

In ancient times, names were much more significant than they are today. They were carefully chosen, and were sometimes conferred by God himself. Names were descriptive of a person's lineage, character, and in some cases even his destiny. Likewise, God applies a variety of Hebrew names and titles to Himself because He wants us to know more about His character, nature, and attributes.

Interweaving memoir with Hebrew poetry, Going Out with Knots: My Two Kaddish Years with Hebrew Poetry (Jewish Publication Society, 2025) illluminates author Wendy I. Zierler's literary and personal Jewish mourning journey in the aftermath of unremitting personal loss. She begins with her story: the death of both her parents in one year; the challenges she faced as a woman saying Kaddish in an Orthodox synagogue; and her decision to teach a weekly class on modern Hebrew poems that addressed grief, prayer, and God wrestling. Each subsequent chapter delves into the works of a different modern Hebrew poet—Lea Goldberg, Avraham Ḥalfi, Yehuda Amichai, Rachel Morpurgo, Rachel Bluwstein, Ruhama Weiss, and Amir Gilboa—in the order in which she translated, interpreted, and taught their poems (many translated into English for the first time). Each poet, like Zierler, comes to writing deeply connected to Jewish tradition and yet at odds with it, too. Ultimately, Going Out with Knots reflects on how a woman living in a modern Orthodox community can claim a place in the male-centered rituals that Jewish tradition prescribes for mourning, and how immersion in modern Hebrew poetry can respond deeply to both communal (COVID-19, October 7) as well as personal losses, offering a new form of theology and Torah. Rabbi Dr. Wendy I. Zierler is Sigmund Falk Professor of Modern Jewish Literature and Feminist Studies at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion in New York and the coeditor of Prooftexts: A Journal of Jewish Literary History.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues in the Orchot Tzaddikim (Day 105, page 615), summarizing the first 12 daily remembrances—Hashem creating us from nothing, granting health, wisdom, Torah, mercy, repentance, and constant closeness—before introducing four more. The 13th urges recognizing when our wisdom and wealth exceed our deeds: if blessed with intellect or money, we must act accordingly now, not delay with “when I earn more, then I'll give.” Rabbi Wolbe shares a young donor who gave $130,000 already toward a $250,000 goal and a Shabbat table debate on lottery winnings, exposing how the yetzer hara pushes charity to “later.” The 14th teaches greeting everyone with a warm smile (sever panim yafot), as water reflects a face, so does the heart (Mishlei 27:19); his great-grandfather perfected this trait for two years despite personal suffering.The 15th reminds us to prepare for the World to Come like stocking a pantry or travel food—accumulate mitzvot, kindness, and Torah, as we don't know when our time ends. The 16th stresses the soul's purity: strong, healthy people die suddenly because Hashem reclaims His “deposit.” Like collateral or a leased car, life is lent; we must keep the soul pristine, repenting daily “one day before death” (as tomorrow may be it). Rabbi Wolbe likens life's ups and downs to a living EKG—flatlines are dead—urging us to embrace curveballs, swing hard, and turn tough days into home runs.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on April 7, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 18, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

This message explores Ruth 3 and the profound Hebrew idea of hesed—God's covenantal care expressed through sacrificial love—revealing how His faithful provision meets us in seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and need. Through Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz (a foreshadowing of Christ), we're challenged to trust God's daily care and to extend His comfort to others as we first learn to receive it ourselves.

Some ideas belong in the theological recycle bin—this episode takes on one of them. We unpack the “serpent seed” doctrine, where it came from, why it keeps resurfacing, and how it collapses under Hebrew, history, and the church fathers. We trace its Gnostic fingerprints, show how it fuels bad fruit (including racist distortions), and contrast it with the biblical “seed” theme fulfilled in Christ. We also sort out why people confuse Genesis 3 with Genesis 6 and how presentism, isogesis, and click-driven sensationalism muddy the waters. Along the way: Irenaeus, Heiser, Zohar, Ophites, Branham/Murray, and why sound doctrine must marry reason and the supernatural. We wrap with practical tests for spotting heresy and a call back to creedal foundations that love the real Jesus. Today we welcome back Dr. Judd Burton.https://www.burtonbeyond.net/

News and commentary for Monday, 17 November, 2025.

Today, we continue to read the life of Joseph, we'll see the roller coaster of good and evil in his life. But most importantly, his response to the injustices done to him and God's response to Joseph's faith.Genesis 39:1-21 NLTWhen Joseph was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelite traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. Potiphar was captain of the guard for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.  The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. … This pleased Potiphar, so he … put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned. … With Joseph there, he didn't worry about a thing—except what kind of food to eat!Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man, and Potiphar's wife soon began to look at him lustfully. “Come and sleep with me,” she demanded. But Joseph refused. “Look,” he told her, “My master trusts me with everything in his entire household. … How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.” She kept putting pressure on Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her … One day … She came and grabbed him by his cloak, demanding, “Come on, sleep with me!” Joseph tore himself away, but he left his cloak in her hand as he ran from the house. Soon all the men came running. “Look!” she said. “… this Hebrew slave … came into my room to rape me, but I screamed.  … Potiphar was furious when he heard his wife's story … So he took Joseph and threw him into the prison …  But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love.Among the evil Joseph had to endure, what were the two phrases that created game changers for him?“The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did …”“But the Lord was with Joseph … and showed him his faithful love.”“The Lord was with” simply means there was a constant, continual relationship between God and Joseph. Like a hybrid of family and friend. No matter what you have been through, are walking through now, or will endure in your life, that “with” is available to you 24/7.These same thoughts are what Paul meant when in Romans 8:31, he stated, “If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”Let's personalize and repeat that phrase right now: “If God is for me, who can ever be against me?” … “If God is for me, who can ever be against me?” … “If God is for me, who can ever be against me?”Let's pray together: “Father, thank You that nothing that can happen to me is bigger, stronger, or greater than You. I want my life to be marked by the “with” of being in a relationship with You. I invite You into my life to experience the same closeness as Joseph had. As above, so below.”

Daily Dose of Hope November 18, 2025   Scripture – Acts 2   Prayer: Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, That my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, That my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, That I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, To defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We have just started the book of Acts, after walking through all the Gospels.  What a great spiritual journey this has been and I'm so glad you have joined us!  Today, we walk through Acts 2.   I'm going to start by reading the first three verses, On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place.  Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting.  Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them.    You guys, this is incredible.  First, let's talk about the roaring windstorm.  Throughout Scripture, wind is a symbol of the Holy Spirit.  In ancient Hebrew, we have the word, ruach, which means breath/wind/spirit and we see this word quite a bit in the Old Testament.  Wind represents the life-giving work of the Spirit.  Think about it.  In Genesis 2, God breathed life (ruach) into Adam.  In Ezekial 37, we are in the valley of dry bones and God has Ezekiel prophesy to the bones, saying "I will put my Spirit (ruach) in you and you will live."  In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is typically referred to in the Greek as pneuma.  The Holy Spirit comes upon Mary to form life in her womb.  In John 3:5, Jesus tells Nicodemus that the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.    I can't help thinking, how many people need to experience the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit right now?  How many people are really struggling, barely holding on, languishing in doubt, pain, anger, cynicism?  Or maybe, you simply feel nothing?  There is NO true living without the presence of the Spirit, only existing.    Next, we have the tongues of fire.  Let's sit here for a second.  Fire is often descriptive of God in the Old Testament and it speaks to the purifying and refining work of the Holy Spirit.  In this sense, the Spirit causes things that are impure to become pure...lives, hearts. Matthew 3:11, John the Baptist says "I baptize you with water for repentance.  But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.  He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."  Peter speaks of the new Gentile believers as experiencing the Holy Spirit and having their hearts purified.    If something is pure, it is only one thing–pure gold, pure oxygen.  It isn't filled with contaminants or additives. It is totally and completely that one thing. I picture the Holy Spirit coming upon that group of believers on the day of Pentecost and purifying or refining their hearts so they would be totally and completely dedicated to the things of God, not half filled with the stuff of the world and half filled with the things of God.  I wonder that about our own hearts.  What contaminants have we allowed to seep in?  What do we need to purify? Come like a fire, Holy Spirit, and burn in us so that we can be pure and totally devoted to the things of Jesus.   Let's read some more Scripture, beginning with verse 4 (this is truly a paraphrase), All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.  This made a racket and a crowd forms...When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken...Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?  Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."  And then Peter gets up and says, we aren't drunk, it's only 9 in the morning.  Let me tell you what his means...and he shares with them the Gospel, he speaks of how the Old Testament scriptures point to Jesus as the Messiah, he speaks of Jesus' ministry, his death, his resurrection and it says this,  Peter's words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?"  Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."   And what happened? 3000 believed and were baptized.  The Holy Spirit came, the people were given power to act, and they did it!  They trusted God and they responded.  This was essentially the beginning of the church.  At the end of chapter 2, we see how the people begin to gather to worship Jesus, to pray, to learn, to take care of one another, to celebrate the Lord's Supper.  They sold all they had and gave it to the poor among them.    We talked about how the Holy Spirit is life-giving and purifying but it also has power.  The Holy Spirit empowers believers to do really hard things.  If you have said yes to Jesus, then the Holy Spirit has made a home within you. The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead LIVES within you.  And God didn't give us that power simply for our own use.  It's for the mission of sharing the love and grace of Jesus Christ with others.    Why do you think we struggle so much with that?  What part of the mission causes you to hide in fear?  Friends, we have POWER within us and it is given to us for the purpose of making disciples of Jesus Christ.  Let's just let that sit and settle.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

Welcome to this week's prophetic Weekly Word! As we transition from the Hebrew month of Heshvan into Kislev, God is bringing major spiritual shifts, alignment, and supernatural repositioning. This is a season of new mantles, new assignments, and covenant promises being activated!Although life in the natural may feel busy due to the holiday season, the Spirit is slowing things down so you can hear God clearly and aim your destiny like an arrow. November 15–January 15 is a time of divine alignment with heaven's timing.Kislev is the biblical month of hope, trust, dreams, covenant fulfillment, and miracle oil—leading us into Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Ariel's Mystical Night: Unearthing Celestial Wonders Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2025-11-18-08-38-20-he Story Transcript:He: בערב סתווי אחד, הירקות מהחצר של אריאל כבר היו נרדמים, והעולם שמעבר לחלון הספרייה נראה כולו קסום ומסתורי.En: On one autumn evening, the vegetables from Ariel's yard were already asleep, and the world beyond the library window looked entirely magical and mysterious.He: אריאל, נער סקרן עם אהבה גדולה למסתורין ולאסטרונומיה, שמח לעזור בנקיון הספרייה.En: Ariel, a curious young boy with a great love for mysteries and astronomy, was happy to help clean the library.He: אבל הלילה היה שונה.En: But this night was different.He: בזמן שכל העיר חגגה את חגם של התודה, אריאל לא יכול היה להפסיק לחשוב על האורות המוזרים שראה מעל הספרייה בלילות האחרונים.En: While the whole city celebrated their Thanksgiving holiday, Ariel couldn't stop thinking about the strange lights he had seen above the library in recent nights.He: הספרייה בפרברים הייתה מבנה בן שתי קומות עם חלונות פנורמיים גדולים שצפו בנוף של עצים צובעים בשלל גווני השלכת.En: The library in the suburbs was a two-story building with large panoramic windows overlooking a view of trees painted in a range of autumn shades.He: אחרי שעות הסגירה, הספרייה הייתה שקטה ושלווה, והעצים מסביב יצרו נוף מופלא.En: After closing hours, the library was quiet and peaceful, and the surrounding trees created a wondrous scenery.He: "בואי לראות!" קרא אריאל לליאורה, אחת הספרניות.En: "Come and see!" Ariel called to Leora, one of the librarians.He: "בליל אמש ראיתי שוב את האורות."En: "Last night, I saw the lights again."He: אבל ליאורה, אישה טובה, רק חייכה בעייפות.En: But Leora, a kind woman, just smiled tiredly.He: "אלה רק מטוסים," היא ענתה, אם כי עיניה הביעו חיבה לאמונה התמימה שלו.En: "They're just airplanes," she replied, though her eyes expressed affection for his innocent belief.He: אבל אריאל לא הניח לדבר.En: But Ariel didn't let it go.He: בלילה, כשכולם נרדמו, חזר לספרייה.En: At night, when everyone fell asleep, he returned to the library.He: הוא הצטייד בטלסקופ ובפתק קטן שבו כתב את תוכניתו: לבדוק, לצלם, להוכיח.En: He was equipped with a telescope and a small note where he wrote his plan: to check, to photograph, to prove.He: האורות לא יכלו להיות סתם מטוסים, הוא הופך ביפול שלו, והיה צריך לגלות יותר.En: The lights couldn't just be airplanes, he mulled over, and he had to find out more.He: במרחשים השקטה והמלבבת של הלילה, הוא התמקם על הדשא מול הספרייה.En: In the quiet and enchanting nighttime atmosphere, he settled on the lawn in front of the library.He: הירח היה בהיר, וכך גם התקווה שלו.En: The moon was bright, as was his hope.He: לפתע, נפתחו שערי השמים והאורות חזרו בשורה מסתובבת, מרחפים בצורה מופלאה.En: Suddenly, the gates of the sky opened, and the lights returned in a rotating sequence, hovering in a spectacular manner.He: הם התנועעו בדפוסים שלא דומים לשום כלי טיס מוכר.En: They moved in patterns unlike any known aircraft.He: לרגע, אריאל רק התבונן, אך אז החל לצלם ולאסוף ראיות.En: For a moment, Ariel just watched, but then he began to photograph and gather evidence.He: למחרת, עם ראיות בידיו ולב מלא התרגשות, פנה אל ליאורה שנדהמה מהממצאים.En: The next day, with evidence in his hands and a heart full of excitement, he turned to Leora who was astonished by the findings.He: "אנחנו חייבים לספר לכולם," אמר אריאל.En: "We have to tell everyone," said Ariel.He: באולם העיתונות המקומית, נאחל לו באריכות ימים מי שצחק עליו.En: In the local press hall, those who had laughed at him wished him a long life.He: אריאל ואהבתו לאסטרונומיה מצאו דרך בלבבות של אנשי העיר.En: Ariel and his love for astronomy found a way into the hearts of the townspeople.He: לאחר ששיתף את התמונות והסיפור בעיתון המקומי, זכה הערכה וחיבה מחבריו.En: After sharing the photos and story in the local newspaper, he gained appreciation and affection from his friends.He: הוא הבין את חשיבות האמונה ברעיונות שלו.En: He understood the importance of believing in his ideas.He: מאותו יום, אריאל כבר לא היה הנער המוזר; הוא היה החוקר הצעיר שסיפק הוכחה לעולם הנסתר שמעבר.En: From that day on, Ariel was no longer the odd boy; he was the young researcher who provided proof of the unseen world beyond.He: והספרייה הקטנה בפרברים זכתה לפרסום בזכות חוש ההרפתקנות שלו והידידות הכנה של ליאורה.En: And the small library in the suburbs gained fame thanks to his adventurous spirit and the sincere friendship of Leora.

Moses had been living in the Egyptian royal palace forty years when he decided one day to go check on the Hebrew slaves. Within hours, he had killed an Egyptian man who was a slave master. Moses' actions make us ask several questions. Why did Moses "look this way and that" before he sprang into action? Why was he so frightened by what he had done, and why did he hide the body? When Moses returned to the scene of the crime the next day, what kind of reception did he expect from the Israelites? And why was Pharaoh so angry when he found out what Moses had done? Lots of answers, some of which may surprise you, coming up in this episode!

Most of us don't like tests—but in Malachi 3, God flips the script. Instead of forbidding His people to test Him, He invites them to: “Test Me in this.” It's as if God says, “Go ahead—trust Me first, and then watch what I do.” When we give God what's first, He blesses what's next. But when we give Him what's left, everything else comes first. This week's message reminded us that giving isn't about money—it's about mastery. Who rules our hearts? God doesn't need our percentage; He desires our priority.Testing God's promise isn't about doubting His power—it's about deepening our dependence. The word bāḥan in Hebrew means “to examine through experience.” God doesn't want blind obedience; He wants trust that grows through proof of His faithfulness. Every time we give first, we are declaring that God is our Provider, not our paycheck. The goal isn't to give more out of pressure, but to grow more in trust. That's why our next steps this week—Pray. Plan. Percentage. Progress.—move generosity from a rule to a rhythm.What would it look like if your week reflected first things first—where worship, giving, and gratitude shaped every decision? As you revisit this Sunday's message, let God speak again through His Word. Above you'll find the Sunday to Monday Guide for deeper conversation in your small group or around your dinner table.

In ancient times, names were much more significant than they are today. They were carefully chosen, and were sometimes conferred by God himself. Names were descriptive of a person's lineage, character, and in some cases even his destiny. Likewise, God applies a variety of Hebrew names and titles to Himself because He wants us to know more about His character, nature, and attributes.

Rabbi Gordon studies one chapter a day from Maimonides' classic legal work of Mishneh Torah. The original Hebrew text is read and then translated and clearly explained in English.

These classes teach the day's section of the weekly Torah portion. The lesson is taught using the original Hebrew text with the indispensable commentary of Rashi—both translated and elucidated so that anyone can follow along.

11/16/25 Tom explores some of the origins of the Hebrew language and its implications for the Bible and our interpretations today.

Love and Torah—what's love got to do with it? This series explores the “Two Great Commands': loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. What does John 15 reveal about Yah's kingdom structure? How does John 15 connect to Genesis 1's creation account? What was the first instruction given to humanity? When Yeshua told His disciples to keep His commands, which ones did He mean? Did Messiah add to Torah? In John 15:15, Yeshua told His disciples they are no longer servants but friends. What is the difference between a servant and a friend? How do we define 'friend'? Since Messiah said this to His disciples, how does it apply to us today? Rabbi Berkson carefully analyzes these passages again to help you better understand what Yah expects of you—so you can do it and receive His blessings.
