This week we dive into the Degel Machaneh Ephraim's luminous reading of the Priestly Blessing, unpacking what it means for grace to be both given and recognized. You'll hear an inclusive, gender-neutral translation of the text, a fresh reflection on why our inner radiance so often goes unseen, and a gentle guided meditation that helps you kindle your own spark while praying that the world—and your own eyes—are ready to notice it.
This morning we discuss the text of Birchat Kohanim, the famous Priestly Blessing, and analyze why the text of this blessing is in our Torah portion, Nasso, while the commandment to bless without the text, is in the Torah portion of Shmini, which we read several weeks ago. We provide an answer which forms a practical strategy any time we are about to enter into a fraught situation. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation.

In this episode, we walk 10 minutes from Alan's home in Jerusalem to one of his "favorite places." Tucked in between the St. Andrews Scottish Church and the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, are 2800 year old burial caves from the time of the First Temple where one of the most significant artifacts was discovered , the oldest surviving texts from the Hebrew bible. Wow! After all the excitement, we end with authentic Arabic coffee made with cardamon in the First Station at Izhiman's est. 1921.

In this engaging sermon by John Paledino, the message centers on the transformative power of God's favor and grace. John begins by leading the congregation in prayer, inviting them to recognize God's unwavering presence, which extends from daily mercies to life-altering moments of grace. Reflecting on scriptural narratives, he delves into the idea of how divine favor can redefine lives and alter destinies. With a focus on the importance of identity in Christ, the sermon navigates through various biblical stories that illustrate the immense power of standing in God's favor, emphasizing intercession and the efforts to bring others into the light of faith. John explores the biblically entrenched concept of favor, outlining stories from both the Old and New Testaments that exemplify God's grace at work. One notable example is Esther, whose story showcases divine favor leading to the salvation of a nation. The sermon also touches upon the critical aspect of being an active participant in God's spiritual warfare, likening believers to arrows and bullets in God's arsenal against the works of darkness. By recounting tales of faith and perseverance, John Paledino crafts a vibrant illustration of God's eternal promises, calling the faithful to live out these truths actively and consciously. Key Takeaways:God's favor and grace are constant and transform lives, as seen in biblical stories such as those of Esther and Noah.Being spiritually aligned with God's purpose involves recognizing His favor and reflecting it in our own lives and communities.Intercession is a powerful tool for bringing others into the fold of God's grace and helping them see beyond worldly blindness.The Bible is not just a container of truth but is itself the ultimate truth, offering guidance and direction for believers.Divine favor extends to everyday situations, reinforcing the notion that God is present in both the small and significant moments of life.Notable Quotes:"God is good. His mercies are new every morning when you wake up.""If you can't acknowledge the little, how are we ever going to see the big?""We are an arrow in God's bow, and He's launching us to see things change and get done.""God's word is a lamp to our feet, a light to our path.""Remember me, O Lord, with the favor you have toward your people."Resources:Book of Esther: The biblical book highlighting Esther's story and the manifestation of divine favor.Psalm 106: A reminder of God's favor and mercy towards believers.Numbers 6: Verses containing the Priestly Blessing, often referenced in discussions of divine protection and favor.Guest's Social Media and Website: Not mentioned explicitly in the transcript.For listeners eager to deepen their understanding of divine favor and how it impacts their lives, this episode offers insightful teachings that can transform perspectives.

The past few weeks we have been exploring the oldest known piece of Scripture - a 3,000 year old passage from Numbers 6 called the Aaronic or Priestly Blessing. This week, we specifically looked at the third part, "May the Lord smile on you", and learned what it means for us and what we should do with it.
The same blessing spoken by priests thousands of years ago is as true today as it was back then. It remains God's promise to you and to your family and generations to come. On Sunday, October 6, 2024, Calvary welcomed long-time friend and teacher, Dr. Wave Nunnally, as he unpacks the significance and relevance of The Priestly Blessing.
Pastor Victoria passionately contends that apostolic voices, leaders, and priests are important in today's spiritual landscape. As the enemy seeks to scatter the flock, it becomes imperative to honor and support the priests God has placed among us. Throughout the sermon, you'll gain insights into the dual anointing of priests like Melchizedek, who operated both as priests and kings, providing spiritual counsel and practical solutions for life's challenges.

We serve a God who loves to bless His people. The Bible is full of examples of this going all the way back to Abraham. God so wanted His people blessed that he instructed the High Priest Aaron how to pronounce blessing over them. Known as the Aaronic or Priestly Blessing, these verses are some of the most popular in the Hebrew Bible. They are also the oldest-known biblical text found in Israel, attesting to their popularity throughout time.

In this week's parsha, Naso, we learn lessons from God. Some of these lessons include: God is sensitive enough to our needs to provide us an option that would enable us to achieve high status, just like a Kohen, even if we were not born to it. Similarly, God enables someone who is struggling with self control, such as someone who is drinking too much wine, to find a dignified way to improve their lives. In both of these situations, the solution lies in becoming a Nazir. God codifies the Birkat Kohanim, or Priestly Blessing, in this week's parsha. This blessing adjures God to watch over us, guard us, make sure we have possessions and income, but also that we always have God's attention and willingness to help us even when we don't deserve it. God shows us that even when people give the exact same gift, like the Nesiim did, it's important to be appreciative and excited. To demonstrate this, God tells the story of each Nasi's individual offering- 12 separate times- and models what it means to show gratitude and excitement.
The prayer that is said by the priests of God over the congregation is powerful. Pastor Nancy Cole shares about "The High Priestly Blessing." Stay connected with us at Stay connected with us at www.larryhuchministries.com larryhuchministries.com/resources/#podcast
