Question 1: Would you give someone a birthday cake that you took a huge piece out of?  Probably not.  Rather, you'd give them a cake that was “tamim.” Question 2: What did Noah, Abraham, and Job all have in common? They were all described by the Hebrew word, “Tamim” meaning whole-hearted, complete, or blameless.  Question 3: How can we be more “tamim”? To find out, check out this week's sermon podcast here:

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.

We have been filled with the Ruach HaKodesh to build up G-d's dwelling, and we must not waste it. Listen to Rabbi David's Shabbat sermon based out of Parasha Ki Tisa at Congregation Mayim Chayim.

This class is about the addition for Rosh Chodesh and Festivals, Ya'aleh veyavo.I try to answer these questions:Why do we only say Ya'aleh veyavo on Rosh Chodesh and Festivals, but not on Shabbat or Chanukah or Purim?Why is there such a long thesaurus of words at the introduction of the prayer?What is the connection between remembrance and Rosh Chodesh or Festivals?I spend quite a bit of time going through the Vilna Gaon's commentary on Ya'aleh veyavo, where he shows the connection between the words of the blessing and the seven heavens.For the original course page please visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://webyeshiva.org/course/the-shemoneh-esrei-in-depth/

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…

The most important reality we should have in our lives is the Presence of God in our midst at all times and in all places. Listen to Rabbi David's Shabbat sermon based out of Parasha Terumah at Congregation Mayim Chayim.

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.

In the 26th & final part of his series on I Peter, Rabbi Schiller looks at the theme of resisting the devil, with a focus on how the devil gains a foothold in our life through our sins, and we close these open doors to the Enemy through our true heart repentance.

In this week's sermon from Parashat Shemot, we are reminded that God intimately knows our pain and struggles. Like the "Undercover Boss" who humbles himself to understand the burdens of his employees, God has lowered Himself to walk with us in our suffering, sharing in our afflictions. He is not distant, but deeply acquainted with our every hurt, offering us strength and comfort in our times of need. The contrasting lessons of Moses and Pharaoh serve as a lesson on what it means to know and to be known by God and others. Let's reflect on our relationship with God, trust that He understands our deepest pains, and draw near to the One who fully knows us, offering healing and hope in His presence.

In this week's sermon, we delve into the profound tradition of the ethical will—an inheritance of wisdom, values, and life lessons passed down through the generations. Through the words of Jacob and King David, we see how both patriarchs, near the end of their lives, share their deepest insights and blessings with their children, laying the foundation for the future. We explore how this act of transmission, rooted in the biblical ethic of "L'Dor Va-Dor" (from generation to generation), is not just a family tradition but a vital part of our spiritual inheritance. Whether it's Jacob's prophetic blessings to his sons or David's final charge to Solomon, these moments remind us that we too are called to pass on the faithfulness of God. Join us as we reflect on what we can pass on—a legacy of God's love, guidance, and faithfulness—so that our stories, wisdom, and blessings continue to impact future generations.

The Scriptures describe an ideal Shepherd, a descendant of King David.  And as we read through these descriptions, it's as if a painting begins to take shape, a picture of an ideal shepherd.  First, just the edges, and then it fills in as we read from Genesis onward. And the purpose of this broad painting over many different books in the Bible is so that when the person actually walks in the room, we can go, “Hey, it's the shepherd from the painting, but he's actually here! It's really him!” And then He can say to us, “It's time for the family reunion: One Flock, One Shepherd.”   And why should we look forward to this family reunion? Because we want a world with No Sheep Left Behind.  

Looking for a last minute Hanukkah gift? Well, you're in for a treat, because today we are starting with THE Definitive 2024 Hanukkah Gift Guide!  That's right!  We're going to look at gifts in the Bible and give them an objective rating out of 10 based on a fancy rubric so that you and your loved ones can enjoy the holiday with peace of mind.  Now, this first one is actually from this week's Torah Portion, the story of Joseph. We have: “One Special Colorful Coat that's only for one of your 12 sons.”  

“This is Heavy, Doc.” In the movie, “Back to the Future,” made in 1985, this is the catchphrase of Marty Mcfly. When Marty says, “This is heavy” he means that something is awesome and beyond understanding.  With a movie about time travel, it happens a lot.  But I believe I found the word that Marty Mcfly would have used, had he spoke Hebrew: “Kavod.” Kavod means glory, but it's related to the word for heavy, or weightiness.  In short, the “Kavod” is the glorious presence and radiance of God, which should inspire reverence, awe, and honor in us.  If Marty travelled back in time to see the Tabernacle, or the Temple, which had the ark of the covenant, I'm pretty sure he would say, “This is heavy, Doc.” This will be our guide word this morning in our exploring of the Scriptures.  And the "Kavod," the heaviness and weightiness of God's glory, should inspire us to have more reverence and awe for God's majesty.  And why are we looking into this word? Because contempt for the Lord leads to judgment, but honor for the Lord leads to shalom and life.

In Part 25 of his series on I Peter, Rabbi Schiller looks at chapter 4 and the theme of arming yourself with the Gospel and the Scriptures so that you may die to sin and live for righteousness.

Rabbi David grew up in a Jewish family in Passaic, NJ.  As a young man he had no knowledge of Yeshua.  One day while walking to synagogue he passed by a big church and walked in to see what it was like.  He was horrified to see the body of Jesus on a cross and left in a hurry, feeling very uncomfortable.His brother Jan had several health issues, and one day announced to the family that he had found Jesus.  David was furious and when he stood up, Jan simply put his hands up and "something" threw David back against the wall.  His brother hadn't touched him at all.  Jan had been completely healed and David knew something was going on.   He wanted to know more.  He began to visit a Pentecostal church with his brother, accepted the Lord and was instantly cured from demonic thoughts about himself.  Rabbi David learned the importance of daily Bible devotions.Eventually he and his wife Helene became the Rabbi and Rebetzin of Shuva Yisrael Congregation in Plainview, NY.   Two of their sons are Messianic Rabbis and one is an inhalation therapist in the Navy.Today they are retired and live in the Chicago, IL area.  They are the proud grandparents of six children.
