In Luke 15, some of the Pharisees are criticizing Yeshua for eating with sinners. He responds with a story. If you have 100 sheep, and only 99 are with you, you are not complete as a shepherd. Like a woman would count her coins to make sure she had all ten, so too God counts us. And so we too should look around our table and say, “Who is missing here? Whom do I need to invite to the table of the Lord?” God loves those sheep in his fold, and he loves those not yet in his fold, and it's not complete until everyone is home. Who is missing that we need to fellowship with and worship with? How can the Lord make my heart more invitational and less judgmental? This week, we remember that everyone counts.
True leadership and service come from knowing one's place and purpose within the greater community. Listen to Rabbi David's Shabbat sermon based out of Parasha Bamidbar at Congregation Mayim Chayim.

A dad is driving and two brothers are in the back. And they're poking and bothering each other. What are his possible words of discipline that he can say? He can say, “Don't make me turn this car around.” He can say “Don't make me separate you,” that is if he has access to the new invisible force fields that are available for backseats. Or finally he can say, “Don't make me come back there.” But what if there's a fourth option? Check out this week's sermon to find out…

In Part 4 of his series on Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at the Calling of David to be King, where God bypasses his 7 older brothers, for God does not look upon the outward appearance as man does, but the LORD looks upon the heart.
Are you ready? Is that what you're gonna wear? This week we see how God has clothed His people throughout Scripture. From the garments of skin given to Adam and Eve in Genesis, to the veil Moses wore after encountering God on Mount Sinai, to Esther's royal robes, each piece of clothing symbolizes a deeper calling and identity in God. So, consider what we are wearing--not just physical clothing but putting on the attributes of Messiah, the righteousness of Messiah, and the power of the Holy Spirit to live out our priestly roles in the world.
In Part 3 of his series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at the story of Saul and the Amalekites and Samuel removing the kingship from Saul for his disobedience, and we look at how in our own life we can resist self-deception only if we fully acknowledge the LORD as our King.

In the wake of unimaginable personal loss, Haratio Spafford wrote the well known hymn: "It Is Well with My Soul.” Spafford's story, marked by grief and tragedy, invites us to explore how we can find shalom amidst life's deepest sorrows. Drawing on Scripture, including the rabbinic idea of God's Shekinah (abiding presence), we discover two enduring truths that enable us to say, “It is well with my soul.” First, God is with us, holding our hand through our pain. And second, He is making all things right. To learn more, check out…
What does it mean to apply the concepts of Mussar (Jewish ethical teachings) to everyday life? What about to confronting racism in the world, at a particular institution or even in oneself? Rabbi David Jaffe, author of Changing the World From the Inside Out and Yehuda Webster, a noted activist and teacher, point to examples of how this can work. Each shares how Mussar taught them how they could have behaved differently in certain situations and where drawing on its lessons led to more positive outcomes. They also discuss anti-racism work in the broader Jewish community, addressing the post Oct 7 pushback while making the case for a renewed focus. Theme song, “Ilu Finu” by Rabbi Miriam Margles.

Just like a toddler develops a will that we must guide and understand, we too face a process of learning to follow God's Torah, even when we don't fully grasp its meaning right away. We say: "Na'aseh, v'nishma" – "We will do, and we will hear, or understand" – as Israel committed to obeying God's commandments perhaps before fully understanding them. Through this, we are reminded that following God isn't just about doing things because we're told, but about trusting in His process, growing in relationship with Him, and gaining understanding through on-the-job training and trust. And remember, "It was processed in a processor that used to process nuts." To hear more about this puzzling quote and other helpful tips, click here.
The Lord is on a mission to answer all our questions, to rescue us, and to wipe every tear from our eyes. God is the one who writes the end of our stories, and the end of our stories is not death, but Resurrection. Now that is good news. The question is: what day are we on? There were three days between the death of Yeshua and the raising to life of Yeshua. Sometimes we are in that in-between part. Not only that, but sometimes we are on the third day, and we may not even know it. The rabbis saw all of the "Third Days" in the Scripture, from Hosea, to Jonah, to Esther, to Moses. And they saw resurrection life in the Hebrew Bible. Yeshua is the fullness of all the third days in the Hebrew Bible; That's how we know that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."
In Part 2 of his series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at the Philistine's capture of the Ark and the LORD's defeat of Dagon, the Philistine god, using this as a template for how we can experience God's Presence and draw near to Him, through Yeshua, the ultimate embodiment of the Ark […]
In this week's sermon, "The Shopping Spree of the Lord," we explore the profound concept of God's acquisitions or purchases throughout Scripture, with the Hebrew word "kana" serving as the anchor word. Through the powerful imagery of God's acquiring the people of Israel, the land of Israel, the Torah, and the Temple, we reflect on our own relationship with the Lord as His "acquisition." We are extensions of God's purpose and our lives, as part of His body, should embody unity and care for one another, thus fulfilling the Torah of Messiah.
In this new series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at Hannah's surrendering everything to the LORD and the birth of Samuel, who anoints David as King, and the parallels to Miriam and the birth of Yeshua.
