Dimes and Judas discuss a government plot to dim the sun with chemtrails, the Pope being assassinated by JD Vance, and our alleged arrival at the Dead Internet Theory tipping point. After a brief investigation into the Acceleration Research Consortium, they descend into a review of “Drug Cartels Do Not Exist” by Oswaldo Zavala. Presented is an anti-neoliberal-capitalist analysis of the Mexica drug war based on the supposition that cartels are a security state invention to justify the status quo. Lastly on this edition of The Copepranos Society, Dimes returns to The Carousel to speak with Disgraced Propagandist about the Vanguardist Journal article “Winning Was Never Enough,” first principles, and mass migration.

To expect women and men of flesh and blood to live lives of ethical perfection is to expect too much. Lapses in judgment, ignorance, vice, and sin are inescapable parts of the human condition. Each year, on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, we recite the Al Het prayer, enumerating over 40 sins that we have committed. Sinning is natural, or, as the poet Alexander Pope famously put it, “to err is human, to forgive divine.” And there's a deep truth to that, for while error and vice are natural to the human condition, religion has introduced into the moral landscape the human imitation of God's compassion that releases us, and allows us to release one another, from the crushing burden of guilt and vice. That religious innovation is forgiveness, and it plays a central role in the ethical life of Jews and Christians. A society without forgiveness, in which moral stain can never be wiped away, in which no mechanism for absolution exists, is a society that will grow fearful, fragmented, feeble, and frail. A society that is properly calibrated to the inescapable truths of human sin, and also has an instrument that absolves the sinner and and enable him or her to rejoin society, is resilient. A few years ago, American was bound up in a spate of so-called cancellations in which public figures stood accused of some wrong action, wrong statement, or wrong thought, and were deemed unfit for employment or standing in society. And, in the progressive circles that led these efforts to purify the public arena, no apology would suffice. No cleansing was sufficient to remove the stain: once a bigot, always a bigot. It was around that time that a group of Jewish and Christian theologians began meeting to discuss the idea of forgiveness. Over the course of several years of study, reading, and discussion, a statement emerged. “Forgiveness: A Statement by Jews and Christians” was published in the February 2025 issue of First Things magazine. But of course, something of civilizational significance happened while this group convened, and that was the October 7 Hamas attacks, and the adulation of the attackers by American and European activists. In the face of such evil, could forgiveness be offered? Should it be? What are the limitations on forgiveness and what are the moral obligations on the part of the penitent seeking forgiveness? Two of the statement's signatories, Tikvah's chief education officer Rabbi Mark Gottlieb and the Villanova University professor Anna Moreland, join Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss these and related themes.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate. Since 10/7, Jewish students have been the victims of a steep rise in antisemitic incidents in their schools and universities. In some cases, Jewish students are left feeling angry, unwelcome and at times unsafe. However, Jewish day schools appear to be a safe harbor in this environment - free from the antisemitism that students face elsewhere. ADL New York/New Jersey's Campus Committee decided to do a deep dive into this topic to understand not only what Jewish students in day schools were experiencing but also how well those schools were preparing their students and graduates to face a less welcoming world. So, they hosted a webinar a few weeks ago with four day school heads in the New York/New Jersey region. Scott Richman, the host of this podcast, was honored to serve as the moderator of this important discussion. It was a rich and fascinating look at how one part of the Jewish community is handling the issue of antisemitism. It was so interesting that this edited version is now being releases as a “From the Frontlines” podcast. The guests on this podcast are: 1. Steven Freedman, Head of School at Schechter Bergen in New Jersey 2. Dr. Michael Kay, Head of School at the Leffell School in Westchester 3. Rabbi Binyamin or Bini Kraus, Principal of SAR Academy in Riverdale, and 4. Rabbi Eliezer Rubin, Head of School at Kushner Academy in New Jersey Also, ADL's Vice President for Advocacy Shira Goodman joined the conversation. This webinar took place on September 10, 2024.
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, GaryBauer interviews frequent guest Tom Rose, who is live from Israel. The two discuss the historical importance of the National Jewish Day of Mourning. In Hebrew, the Tisha B'Av is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar (August 12-13, 2024). On this day, Jews deprive themselves of nearly all human comforts and devote themselves to prayer and fasting. The holiday is the culmination of the Three Weeks, a period during which the Jewish people mark the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 486 BC and the Roman Empire in 70 AD. You won't want to miss this fascinating discussion.
Since the reestablishment of Israel in 1948, Jews know that they can mourn in relative peace, because they now live in the reconstitution of their third commonwealth after 2,000 years of exile.

We break with routine in this episode and focus on the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles. In it, we see Jesus giving final instructions to his apostles before he ascends into heaven. Looking at subtle clues left by St. Luke, we discover that at his ascension Jesus takes on both the role of the “Son of Man” found in the Book of Daniel and the role of a new and everlasting high priest who fulfills once and for all by his death, resurrection, and ascension the cultic act of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. Diving deep into our readings we'll spend our episode looking closer at: - Who the mysterious “Theophilus” is in our first reading - The Old and New Testament significance of the 40 days that Jesus spends with the Apostles before his ascension - Which prophecy in the New Testament was most frequently repeated - The incredible connection between the Old Testament assumption of Elijah and the New Testament ascension of Jesus - Who the fourth beast is in the Book of Daniel and its significance for the Early Church - How our readings coupled with the Letter to the Hebrews show Jesus to be the new and everlasting Jewish High Priest
This interview originally aired on Bonjour Chai_, The CJN's weekly current affairs podcast. Hear the full episode and subscribe at thecjn.ca/bonjour._ With back-to-school prep in full swing and another semester around the corner, we wanted to ask: what is the Jewish community really getting out of Jewish day schools? What's their long term effectiveness in terms of building Jewish identity? And, knowing the extreme costs, how do these effects stack up against other, potentially cheaper, forms of Jewish education, including after-school programs, summer camps and Birthright trips? As Canadian Jewish parents are collectively paying out tens of millions of dollars for a product, we're asking: is it working? With those questions in mind, we're revisiting a conversation Bonjour Chai host Avi Finegold had with Dr. Yehudah Kurtzer last year. Back then, Rabbi Kurtzer was the president of the North American wing of the Shalom Hartman Institute; this summer, after Rabbi Donniel Hartman of Montreal announced he was retiring as the president of entire international organization, Rabbi Kurtzer filled his seat.
In this episode of the Neshamah Project, Rabbi Ben Newman delves into the celebration of Tu B'Av, the Jewish Day of Love. Historically, this summer holiday served as a day of matchmaking, where young women donned white dresses and danced in vineyards. It also marked a significant turning point in Jewish history: the day when intermarriage between Jewish tribes was permitted, ending age-old divisions. But beyond these traditions, Tu B'Av holds a deeper, mystical significance. Rabbi Newman examines teachings from the Talmud and Rabbi Menachem Nachum of Chernobyl's work "Maor Einayim". He presents an understanding of Tu B'Av as a harbinger of the messianic era, a time of universal love and unity. The circle dance, a common feature of this holiday, is symbolic of a world without hierarchies and divisions. The episode concludes with an inspiring message of hope, patience, and the potential of human love to transcend all barriers.

Jewish Day Schools are having a celebrated moment, but will they be viable in 20 years? Are the trends and challenges that may impact day schools in the future...leadership turnover, a quality educator pipeline, and affordability, being sufficiently acknowledged and addressed? In this week's episode of Adapting, David Bryfman explores these topics and more with Dr. Chaim Botwinick, an executive coach, consultant, and day school executive director who is bravely challenging the status quo. His frank assessment of the strengths and deficiencies in the Jewish Day School landscape is both illuminating and disquieting, but ultimately leaves listeners with a newfound sense of optimism on how we can sustain a thriving Jewish Day School system.Read Chaim's article in the Times of Israel here.This episode was produced by Dina Nusnbaum and Miranda Lapides.The show's executive producers are David Bryfman, Karen Cummins, and Nessa Liben.

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur, which begins Tuesday, October 4th, at sundown, is the Jewish Day of Atonement. In honor of this holiday and the changing of the seasons, listeners of all faiths call in to reflect and talk about what they hope to shed or cast off — like fall leaves — this autumn.
ST. EDITH STEIN l PATRON OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ONE OF SIX PATRON SAINTS OF EUROPE Feast Day: October 11 To be a Jew is to belong to the Chosen People, to the race of Abraham and finally of Jesus Christ. But the Jews did not recognize Jesus and until now they are still waiting for the Messiah. Our saint for today is Edith Stein, now St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, a Jew who was converted to Catholicism, became a Carmelite and was martyred during the German persecution. Edith Stein was born in Breslau, Germany (now Wroclaw, Poland) on October 12, 1891. The youngest of eleven children, her mother loved her more than her siblings for she was born on the day the Jews were celebrating “Yom Kippur”, the Jewish Day of Atonement. When she was two years old, her father died and her mother took upon herself the family business and the duty of raising her children. Consequently she neglected the spiritual life of her children and Edith lost her faith in God. In 1911 she enrolled in a university to study German and history, but her real interest was philosophy. She transferred to another university and met philosopher Edmund Husserl, who initiated her knowledge about Christianity. She became Husserl's teaching assistant and through tutorage received in 1917 her doctorate “summa cum laude. Later, he met Max Scheler, who instructed her about Catholicism. At the beginning of World War I she took up nursing and served in an Austrian field hospital. Meanwhile, her attraction to Catholicism became strong. She read the New Testament, the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Thomas Aquinas and Kierkegaard. When she read the life of St. Teresa of Avila she was finally convinced that Catholicism has the Truth. And she decided to follow her footsteps. Edith was baptized as a Catholic on January 1st, 1922. On the feast of the Purification, she was confirmed. After the ceremony, she went to her mother: “Mother, I am a Catholic.” They embraced and wept. Edith wanted immediately to enter Carmel, but her spiritual director told her to wait. She took a teaching job and translated the diaries of Cardinal Newman and St. Thomas Aquinas. In 1933 the persecution of the Jews began. Edith lost her teaching job. Her mother cried: “Why did you become acquainted with Christianity? I don't say anything against him (Jesus Christ). He may have been a good man, but why did he make himself a God?” Edith's mother remained in her Jewish faith until death. On October 14, 1933, Edith entered Carmel. The following year, she made her temporary vows. She made her perpetual vows on April 21, 1938. Meanwhile the Jewish persecution by the Germans increased. Synagogues were burned, properties were confiscated and people were arrested and killed. Edith's superior wanted to send her to a far convent but Edith refused: “If I cannot share the lot of my brothers and sisters, my life in a certain sense is destroyed. Edith was arrested by the Gestapo, together with her blood sister Rosa who was working in the convent, on August 2, 1942. They were brought to a temporary camp, then on August 7 to Auschwitz. Two days later, they were killed in the gas chamber. After World War II, a gat clamor for her recognition as a martyr of the faith arose. Miracles also confirmed the people's wish. In 1987, she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and proclaimed martyr and a saint on October 11, 1988. Can I stand for the truth in the face of conflict and oppressive treatment?
How do we know if it's an addiction? Rabbi Abraham Twerski, the foremost expert on addiction in the Jewish community, said that he doubts that at any time in our people's history there has been as grave a threat to the stability of the Jewish family as internet pornography. Despite how widespread and devastating it is, very few try to get the help they need. One man thinks he knows why and he is intent on changing that. Eli Nash, a well known philanthropist born and raised in Crown Heights, believes that shame and the inability to ask for help is what kept him in active addiction for so many years. Eli Nash is the CEO of JEG & Sons Inc. and the Co-Founder of MicDrop. Eli founded JEG & Sons in 2006 to bring no contract and unlocked phones to US e-tailers and retailers. Under his guidance, JEG grew from a startup to over $200M in revenue, servicing retail giants such as Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Target and many others. In addition to his business accomplishments, Eli has taken active role in the non-profit world - sitting on the Board of Lamplighters Yeshivah (a Jewish Day school), JCW (a leading organization in the fight against child sexual abuse) and in an advisory role with Urban Promise Miami (an after-school program servicing little Havana).

Yawu Miller gives listeners a primer on tomorrow's Boston Mayoral primary, a historic race for its racial diversity and female-majority among major candidates. He also discusses current polling data and voter patterns along demographic lines. Miller is a Senior Editor of The Bay State Banner. Bruce Marks talks about what the Supreme Court's end to the eviction moratorium means for Massachusetts, and what his organization, the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA) is doing to help. Marks is the CEO and founder of NACA, the nation's largest Housing and Urban Development-certified nonprofit. Revs. Irene Monroe and Emmett G. Price III speak out against the Islamophobia in the United States that has persisted following 9/11. In the days before Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, they also argue about what forgiveness means. Monroe is a syndicated religion columnist, the Boston voice for Detour's African American Heritage Trail, and a visiting researcher in the Religion and Conflict Transformation Program at the Boston University School of Theology. Price is the founding pastor of Community of Love Christian Fellowship in Allston. Together, they host GBH's All Rev'd Up podcast.

This episode introduces the listener to M.E. Katz, a prominent Jewish education personality in Cape Town. His prominence is twofold. First, his professional career was spent as a Jewish educator and principal of Herzlia. Second, he produced (in 1980) a work on the history of Jewish education in Southern Africa that is unparalleled in its breadth and therefore essential reading for anyone who wants to do serious research in the field. I explore a theme he develops in his work and provide my own understanding of the implications of this theme for the contemporary scene. You can access M.E. Katz's work here: Title: The history of Jewish education in South Africa, 1841-1980. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/23668
With the school year quickly approaching, and coronavirus cases still surging in parts of the country, how are Jewish day schools preparing for what will be a school year like no other? What are the short and long term economic impacts of COVID-19? What are the opportunities and challenges provided by blended learning in Jewish day schools? Paul Bernstein, CEO of Prizmah, and Amanda Pogany, Head of School at Luria Academy of Brooklyn, discuss these questions with David Bryfman.

Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Judgement, was fulfilled when Jesus was presented in the Temple, while the nation of Israel, including Simeon, a righteous and devout man, and Anna the Prophetess waited patiently for the Consolation of Israel, a red string tied to the door of the Temple, to turn white, after the scapegoat used in the Yom Kippur ceremony and led into the Wilderness finally died. Though this ceremony began with High Priest Simeon the Righteous, the red string as a symbol of protection was seen in Scripture from the birth of Patriarch Judah and his daughter-in-law Tamar's twin sons, the red rope used by Tamar the harlot to help the spies in Jericho escape, and the leprosy cleansing ceremony. Though the High Priest, while only wearing a linen ephod, usually killed a the sacrificial animal behind the veil, within the Holy of Holies, Christ served as the final Yom Kippur sacrifice, rescuing us and carrying the burden of our sins forever.

I share Basil Bernstein's three fields of knowledge: production recontextualization re-production Using this as a lens, I present a second idea about the quandary that Jewish day schools face in trying to meet the diverse needs of a diverse community. Since no real philosophy of Judaism within the community can be 'imported' into the school to meet diverse needs - because it doesn't exist, partly due to the fact that Jewish day schools are often the only institution in which diverse communities may combine (cf. the siloing of denominational synagogues) - a new philosophy has to be produced. Thus, Jewish day schools may serve as rich seeding grounds for new ways of thinking about Judaism. It turns out that Jewish day schools, in addition to knowledge re-production (teaching and learning), may need to become sites of knowledge production and knowledge recontextualization. This may point to the complexity inherent in such endeavours as foundationally complex rather than merely technically complex.

On this night of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, Pastor Scott Sigman shares an inspiring and life-changing message about the complete sacrifice of Jesus for you.
Welcome back. I hope everyone had a good Easter week. Last time we were together, we wrapped up our study of Colossians. Today, we are going to begin an Old Testament Survey. If you are like me, in your personal Bible reading you have finished Deuteronomy and are moving into Joshua and you might be frustrated with the slow pace and repetition of the Old Testament. You might think, we have Jesus, so why do we need the Old Testament. That’s the focus of our talk today. Why study the Old Testament? Is it merely to have a literary context for the New Testament? Let me lay out two purposes for studying the Old Testament. First, the Old Testament reveals the character of God in a way that the New Testament does not. In the New Testament, we have the benefit of great clarity, and the benefit of considering God this side of Christ. But whereas the New Testament was written in a generation, the Old Testament spans thousands of years. And as we see God’s character manifest through history in the Old Testament, there is a certain depth and richness that we take away. The difference is between a crystal-clear snapshot on the one hand (the snapshot of the New Testament), and a slightly grainy but three-hour-long movie (the Old Testament) on the other. It’s one thing to read about God’s patience in 2 Peter, for example (“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promises.. but is patient with you...) (3:9). Yet it is quite another to see God’s patience with his rebellious people in the desert of Sinai. And again in the Promised Land, through the judges, and the monarchy, through exile, and even beyond. Same God. Same promises. Same rebellion. Same patience. The Old Testament offers a different lens with which to view the character of God. And as we see his character displayed across so much history, there is a depth and richness that we just can’t experience in the New Testament. That’s our first purpose for this study. Second: the Old Testament tells us about Jesus. And it does that in three ways. It is the context for the events of the New Testament. Historically, to be sure. But also thematically. From Abraham’s sacrifice on, for example, God spent 2000 years getting us ready for the idea of a substitute sacrifice on our behalf. That’s how we understand what Jesus did on the cross. The Old Testament is the source of, by one count, 295 references and 600 allusions in the New Testament that help us understand who Jesus is. The New Testament writers clearly expect a working knowledge of the Old Testament. And, more than just an aid for knowing the New Testament better, Jesus Himself says that the Old Testament teaches about Him. (Luke 24:44) This was the Jesus who made the astonishing claim that he came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets (5:17). The Bible, in its entirety, is a book about Jesus. If I could summarize the entire Old Testament in a simple phrase, it would be “promises made.” We learn of our need for God’s promises—we are sinners, unable to save ourselves and condemned to hell by a just God. But we learn of our promise-making God, who in his mercy promises us what we could never achieve ourselves. Similarly, as we’ll see later in the course, the message of the New Testament is “promises kept.” Particularly in Jesus Christ. So what does “promises made” look like? Today, I want to jump up to 10,000 feet so we can see the whole landscape. We’re going to run through the Old Testament from beginning to end. Not once, not twice, but three times. The first time will be just to set your bearings—introducing you to each book of the Old Testament. And then we’ll step back and run through again, this time looking at our need for God’s promises, the story of his holiness and our sin. And finally, we’ll look at the story of his promise, which ultimately carries us into the ministry of Jesus Christ. Historical Overview The Bible begins, on page 1, in Genesis 1:1, with God’s creation of the universe—from nothing. And the crown of his creation, mankind, made in his image, to reflect his character. This is chapters 1 and 2 of the Bible. The foundation is set. Things are good. Then in chapter 3, God’s first humans disobey him and the whole cosmos falls into ruin as a consequence. And God shouts, “This is why we can't have nice things!” The narrative continues with things going from bad to worse including a worldwide flood leaving only one man and his family as a remnant. But that doesn’t change anything. People are still wicked and disobedient and run from their creator. But God is patient and loving and begins a plan for redemption. In Genesis 12, God chooses one man out of Noah’s descendants out of an obscure place (not a throne) to be the first of his new people. God leads this man Abraham—and ultimately his family—to his place, the promised land of Canaan. After a series of providential twists, these people end up as slaves in Egypt, yet they also quickly reproduce to become a great nation. Moses then brings the nation out of Egypt. God gives Israel the law, and covenants with them that if they keep the law, he will be their God and they will be his special people. And he gives them the land he has promised where this special people is to live and display God’s character to the nations. But instead of displaying God’s character, moral and political confusion follows during the rule of leaders called judges. After some centuries, the people ask for and receive a king in the person of Saul, and then David follows Saul. David’s reign best represents the archetype of a kingdom in which God’s chosen man and God’s Word rule over his people in his chosen place. The kingdom arguably reaches its peak in the time of prosperity and the building of the temple by David’s son, Solomon. But David is sinful and his descendants are worse; clearly, this is not the fullness of God’s plan. The kingdom divides into two. Both parts of the now-divided nation fall into idolatry until God finally destroys the northern half through the Assyrian empire. A little over a century later, he exiles the southern half to Babylon. Several generations pass in exile, and then the people return and rebuild the temple and Jerusalem’s wall. And here Old Testament history ends, with the people reduced to a position of utter desperation and dependence on God. This is the narrative taken up by the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament. You can divide them out by putting the first seventeen books in one category, the narrative from Creation to the return of the exiles from Babylon. The next section of Scripture is called the Writings: Job to Song of Songs. And the last seventeen books are the Prophets: Isaiah to Malachi. I’ll take each in turn. Narrative Books Genesis describes how the world and the first humans were made—the perfection of that unspoiled creation, how sin entered the world, and how God initiated his plan of salvation through Abraham. But despite God’s instructions to Abraham to live in the promised land, Genesis closes with these people in Egypt. Exodus finds Abraham’s descendants as slaves in Egypt, and constitutes God’s grand entry onto the stage of world history as he routes the most powerful nation on earth to bring his people back to their land as his own. Leviticus presents a digest of God’s laws given to his people in the wilderness. Specifically, as it relates to the priests or Levites this Leviticus. Holiness is the theme of Leviticus. Numbers mostly tells the story of the people journeying toward the Promised Land, their rebellion, and God’s persevering faithfulness. During this time they kept records of who and how many people were part of the people of God, thus Numbers. Deuteronomy presents the second giving of the law to the people just before Moses’s death and the entrance to the promised land. Deutero means second, Nomos means law, this Deuteronomy. Joshua describes the return and conquest of the Promised Land some 400 years after God’s people left to go into Egypt. Judges is the depressing account of life in the Promised Land: the people continually revert to lawlessness, and the times were well summed up by the phrase, “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.” (Judges 21:25) Ruth is a beautiful little story set during the days of the judges, telling the origin story of King David’s Great Grandfather. 1 and 2 Samuel are about the last judge, Samuel; a “false-start” king, Saul; and the first real king, David. 1 and 2 Kings follow David’s royal descendants as they lead the people into idolatry, and eventually into annihilation for the Northern ten tribes and exile for the Southern two. 1 and 2 Chronicles tell that same story. But instead of explaining why the exile happened—the message of Kings—they point ahead to God’s final salvation. The last three books of history are about the exile and the return from exile: Ezra describes the return of the Jews from their captivity and the rebuilding of the temple Nehemiah continues the story by describing the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls, a partial fulfillment of God’s promises of restoration to his people. Esther is the last book of history: a story of God’s providential deliverance of the Jewish community during the exile. The Writings The middle books of the Old Testament are largely collections of wisdom literature, devotional poems, and ceremonial literature from the temple. Job is a story about a righteous man who is tried by God. Psalms are poetic prayers of praise, confession, and lament to God. Proverbs presents the wisdom of Solomon and others concerning practical life issues. Ecclesiastes, again probably by Solomon, recounts one man’s search for the path to happiness and meaning in this world. Song of Songs is the collection of love songs between a bridegroom and his bride. The Prophets The final collection of books in the Old Testament is the Prophets. These seventeen books present God’s commentary on Israel’s history, particularly Israel’s disobedience. Isaiah was a prophet in the Southern kingdom, called “Judah.” The first thirty-nine chapters are prophecies leading up to the captivity. The last chapters point to future restoration and redemption. Jeremiah prophesied in Jerusalem during the years the city was besieged. He continued to prophesy for seven years after the city fell in 586 B.C. Lamentations is Jeremiah’s lament over the destruction of Jerusalem Ezekiel prophesied in Babylon during this time about the coming fall of Jerusalem and God’s ultimate restoration of his people. Daniel, part prophecy and part history, chronicles how God showed himself to be the ruler of the world even as his people were in captivity in Babylon. Hosea prophesied to the northern kingdom (called Israel) at the same time as Isaiah. God used Hosea’s adulterous wife as a living example of Israel’s unfaithfulness. Joel preached about the coming judgment of God on the southern kingdom—and God’s blessing that would follow their repentance. That’s really the outline for most of these prophets. Amos, another contemporary of Isaiah, predicted the judgment and restoration of the northern kingdom. Obadiah uttered his very short prophecy of judgment against one of Judah’s neighbors, Edom. Jonah, when called to prophesy to the Assyrian city of Nineveh, fled and was swallowed by a great fish. In the belly of the fish, he prayed, repented, was delivered, and obeyed. Micah prophesied at the same time as Isaiah and Hosea. He spoke to both Israel and Judah. Nahum, who lived a century after Jonah, proclaimed the coming judgment of God on Nineveh—and a future deliverance for Judah. Habakkuk asked God why bad things happen to good people, and good things to bad people. God’s response is a call to faith and trust in his promise of restoration. Zephaniah promised that judgment would come on Judah as he called them to repent. The last three prophets prophesied after the exile, as Jerusalem was being rebuilt. Haggai prodded the people to get on with rebuilding the temple. Zechariah prophesied two months after Haggai and presented a series of wild dreams that attacked the religious lethargy of the people and foresaw the messianic age. Malachi also attacked religious apathy and promised a coming Messiah. He was the last Old Testament prophet. Well, that’s the Old Testament from end to end. But what does that grand sweep of history teach us? The first theme that we see is God’s passion for holiness, and ours for sin. The Old Testament teaches that all people are sinners in places like 1 Kings 8:46, Psalm 14:3, Proverbs 20:9, and Ecclesiastes 7:20 and the storyline as a whole quickly leads to the conclusion that people are not able to deal with sin themselves. Adam and Eve sin. So God wipes the slate clean and starts over with Noah. But he and his descendant's sin. God picks one family to bless—but they sin too. And God’s miraculous rescue of Israel from Egypt is followed only by grumbling and rebellion. Arrival in the promised land finds things getting only worse; the book of Judges suggests that the problem is that they have no king. But even a king as good as David sins, and subsequent kings lead the charge to idolatry. God warns his people and then disciplines them through exile. But when they return from that crucible of chastisement, they go back to their wicked ways. What is needed, we find, is not a second chance but a new heart. We are sinful, and no solution to that problem is achieved in the Old Testament. God must do something new. That’s a huge problem, because God’s purpose for his people was for them to live lives together that proclaimed the perfection of his holy character to the nations around them. As Ezekiel puts it, the people intended to proclaim God’s name instead profaned it. What is to be done? This is where references to atonement are significant. The English word means, quite literally, at-one-ment. A number of images are used to describe atonement in the Old Testament, but the most prominent is sacrifice. Sinners could seek to restore their relationship with God through sacrifice. Abel’s sacrifice is the first described explicitly in Scripture. And then Noah’s shows that sacrifice pleases God. Abraham’s sacrifice of a ram instead of Isaac introduced the idea of sacrifice of a substitute—and at the first Passover, a substitute by which God’s wrath was turned aside. And the sacrificial laws on Leviticus introduced the idea not just of a substitute, but of a penal substitute—a substitute who bore the punishment we deserved. A penal substitute who made atonement, as on the Day of Atonement, where punishment was not merely served, but relationship with God was restored. Do you see how the Old Testament gradually builds up this idea of sacrifice? Do you see what God was teaching his people? First, he was teaching about his holiness and his passion for holiness. Second, he was teaching that sin is serious—deathly serious!—because it’s such an aberration from his holiness. And third, he was teaching that atonement could be accomplished when an innocent one dies in place of the guilty. In and of themselves, Levitical sacrifices were never the point. Ironically, sacrifices were most appropriate when the person offering the sacrifice realized that the offering was not sufficient to atone for sins. So you have the psalmist saying, “Against thee, thee only, have I sinned.” (Ps. 51:4). Sacrifices were not efficacious except by God’s grace. The ineffective nature of sacrifices can be seen most clearly through the Jewish Day of Atonement. That’s a day on which a special sin offering was made for the whole nation. What’s striking is that this ritual had to be repeated annually. Calendar-driven, not event-driven. Why? Because the people were in a state of sin, and no animal sacrifice could ultimately remove their guilt. There was no perfect sacrifice. If there had been, the people could have stopped offering them. (Heb 10:1-3) Instead, these imperfect sacrifices emphasized the fact that God is holy, that sin separates us from God, and that he provides a way of forgiveness. So the Old Testament explores so many different potential solutions to the problem of sin, but ultimately comes up empty-handed. That’s one reason why it is bookended with God’s curse. Think of Genesis 3: because of sin, God curses the serpent, the man, and the woman. And does anyone know the last word of the Old Testament? Turn to the last page of Malachi. Referring to the second Elijah, who would be John the Baptist: “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.” (4:6) “Curse” at the beginning. Still under the curse at the end. In the same place as where we began in Genesis 3. This brings up a question that I would call the “riddle of the Old Testament.” In Exodus 34, the Lord describes himself to Moses, saying “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished” (Ex 34:6-7a). Forgiving . . . yet not leaving the guilty unpunished? How can that be? Perhaps there is still hope? The Story of the Promise There is hope, and it is in another story we see in the Old Testament: the story of promise. Yes, the Old Testament ends where we started in Genesis 3. But it also gives us a promise of hope. How will God forgive, and yet not leave the guilty unpunished? It all comes down to his promise. And the story of promise begins in the most unlikely of places. It begins in the words of God’s curse after the fall. Adam and Eve had chosen to disobey God, and so he brought upon them the just punishment for their sin. But in the very sentence of condemnation, God makes a promise: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel” (Gen 3:15). God promises to create division and opposition between his people, the seed of the woman, and Satan’s people, the seed of the serpent. And he promises that one day a son will be born who will defeat Satan and deliver his people from their sin. The promise comes out of the blue. Adam and Eve have done nothing to merit it, yet he makes it. Notice the promise has two sides: the seed of the serpent will strike at the seed of the woman; yet the seed of the woman will triumph. The story of the Old Testament is the story of that promise being placed in jeopardy again and again—but against impossible odds, God ensures that his promise prevails. Cain murders Abel—the line of the woman—but God preserves that line through Seth. Humanity is captured by sin and deserving of God’s judgment, but God’s promise endures and he preserves Noah and his family. Then, to ensure his promise of deliverance is kept, God makes another promise—never again to destroy all humanity by flood. Centuries pass; people go from bad to worse. But with Abraham, God picks up that eternal promise and begins to flesh it out. “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing . . . and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:2-3) A generation later, rivalry between Isaac’s two sons almost destroys Jacob. But Jacob is the chosen seed, and the Lord preserves him. But once again, God’s promise is challenged by a famine that threatens to destroy the whole family. How can God’s promise prevail if this family of the promise perishes? Amazingly, God uses Joseph’s enslavement, imprisonment, and suffering to save his family. He takes what his brothers meant for evil and turns it into salvation and deliverance not just for the chosen family, but for the surrounding nations as well. Again, the seed of the serpent rears its head as the descendants of Jacob are enslaved in Egypt, and a whole generation of boys is slaughtered at Pharaoh’s command. Again, God is faithful and remembers his covenant with Abraham. He preserves the life of Moses, and then uses him to deliver his people from their slavery. At Mount Sinai, God makes a covenant with Israel, in much the same way he did with Adam and Eve before the fall. If the people obey, they will stay in the Promised Land. But if they rebel, God will cast them out. Of course, their rebellion begins almost immediately. God judges his people, but he remains faithful to his promise to Abraham and to Adam. A new generation, led by Joshua, is raised up, and God gives them the land he had promised their forefathers. Against all odds, they conquer the Canaanites. Though the people continue to rebel, and God continues to punish them, he also raises up judges. These are successors to Moses and Joshua who rescue the people and defeat their enemies. Finally, in an ultimate act of rebellion, the nation of Israel rejects God as their King, and asks for a king like all the other nations (1 Samuel 8). In mercy, God anoints a king after his own heart, David, who will be like a son to him. But the serpent even tries to chase down and destroy David from within Israel itself—first through Saul and later through David’s son Absalom. Yet God, who is gracious and faithful, makes yet another promise to David. This is a promise that’s really just an extension of his promise to Abraham and that gives further shape to the promise of Genesis 3. God promises David that he will always have a son to rule on his throne, and that son will rule in righteousness (2 Sam. 7:11-16). The promised seed of Genesis 3 and 15 is in fact to be a king who will deliver his people. At first, it appears that son is Solomon. But it’s not. Solomon proves unfaithful, and judgment follows. Division comes first. The kings in the north are progressively more wicked, until God sends the northern kingdom into an exile from which they will never return. In the south, there are periodic renewals, but the renewals are never complete, and they never last. Finally, God sends Judah into exile, and it seems that his promise has failed. But even in the context of judgment and exile, God reveals that he has not forgotten and he has not failed. The prophets are given a message of hope, that God will make a new covenant with his people (Jer. 31:31-34). After seventy years in exile, Judah returns to the Promised Land. The walls are restored and the temple is rebuilt—but God never comes back to dwell in that temple. The new covenant has not yet arrived. When will God finally keep his promise? This is the expectation we are living in when, after four hundred years of silence, God speaks and the New Testament begins. Conclusion So do you see how these pieces all fit together? On the one hand, the Old Testament is a story that moves sideways, never progressing. Solution after solution to our sin is suggested and tried, only to result in failure. So by the end of Malachi, we are no better off than we were in Genesis 3, except that we know for a fact that we cannot save ourselves. But on another level, the Old Testament is a story of forward motion because it’s the story of promise. God gradually reveals more and more of his perfect plan to redeem a people for himself. And as that promise takes shape, hope is born out of the despair of sin and the stage is set for Jesus Christ. He would live as the perfect Israel, and die as our substitute, the perfect Passover lamb. Through his death on our behalf and his resurrection from the dead, he would reconcile us to God. As Paul puts it in Romans 3, “[demonstrating God’s justice] at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.” (Romans 3:25-26). Just and the one who justifies sinners? Forgiving and the one who does not leave the guilty unpunished? The promises God made through all those centuries find their answer in Jesus—the answer to the riddle of the Old Testament. That is the message of the Hebrew Scriptures.
An exegetical treatment of Rom 5-10-11, the Atonement of Jesus Christ is explained as the Cross of our Savior comes into view through the Jewish Day of Atonement -Lev 16-.
This week we ask the question what is Yom Kippur also known as the Jewish day of atonement. Was Christ’s death on the cross a simple matter of payment for our Sin? Or was there a deeper meaning?

Tisha B'Av (The Jewish Day of Mourning) is a day of the year when Jews throughout the world remember and mourn the many tragedies they have faced over the years. From destruction of temples, the loss of Jerusalem, the pograms and Holocaust and expulsions from many countries, the Jewish people have moved on and not only survived, but overcame, culminating with the return to the Holy Land and re-establishing the State of Israel in 1948. Rabbi Hilbrant will talk about this day of mourning and how it pulls the people of Israel back together again.
New York's Citicorp Tower was an architectural sensation when it opened in 1977. But then engineer William LeMessurier realized that its unique design left it dangerously vulnerable to high winds. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the drama that followed as a small group of decision makers tried to ward off a catastrophe in midtown Manhattan. We'll also cringe at an apartment mixup and puzzle over a tolerant trooper. Intro: A surprising number of record releases have been made of sandpaper.

Hardies, October 2, 2017 Every year on the Sunday closest to Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, we explore themes of forgiveness and reconciliation and end our service with the words of our Litany of Atonement: “We forgive ourselves. We forgive each other. We begin again in love.”…
Hebrews 4:14-6:20This passage is all about access to God. It explains in terms of the Jewish Day of Atonement how Jesus has opened the way for us to come freely to God's Throne of Grace. But this means more, much more, than a technical explanation of redemption...
“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." It's one of the most famous verses in the New Testament and a pivotal moment for the early church. The Holy Spirit 'fell' on a group of people as they gathered to worship on the Jewish Day of Pentecost. A number of miraculous phenomena occurred that day, but the Apostle Peter makes note of only one of them. Young and old, male and female - all people would be able to have "dreams and visions" and "prophesy". But what did Peter mean by that? In this podcast, we talk about the dreams of Acts 2:17 - what Peter meant by them, how we have managed to turn it into something else and in doing so, have missed one of the most powerful ways to hear God's voice.

St. John mentions several times that Jesus dies on the Jewish Day of Preparation. What is the day of Preparation? Well, when God created the heavens and the earth, he created in six days and on the seventh day He rested. This day was the Sabbath, Saturday, and it was passed down through the law of Moses, through the Ten Commandments that none should work on Saturday, on the Sabbath. So Friday was a day of preparation for the Jews, to get everything ready before the Sabbath when no one can work. So when St. John speaks of the Day of Preparation he means Friday, but Friday with a special significance.
