Keepers at home is a very misunderstood verse among believing women of today. We do have a mandate to obey Rav Shaul's injunctions in Titus chapter 2, it's vital to hear the spirit behind these words and their vital message for us as women in these increasingly dark days going into 2023.
The instructions set forth from Rav Shaul to Titus for holy community living

We continue with Emuna lessons from Rav Chaskel Abramsky's sefer Melech B'Yofyof ( page 612): In Parashat Vayetzeh , when describing Yaakov Avinu , the Torah says, “ Yaakov made a neder/vow saying… If God will be with me..” But Rav Abramsky says that we can read also the pasuk as, “ Yaakov made a neder, to constantly say, If God will be with me.” In other words, Yaakov Avinu's neder was to get used to saying B'Ezrat Hashem, Im Yirtzah Hashem, With the help of God, If God wants… The first statement of his neder was to constantly mention, “ God is with me.” The Shelah Hakadosh says that a siman for this is the phrase, “ עצת ה׳ היא תקום The advice of God will stand up . ” If you have a thought in your head and it's God's idea, it will last. But how do we know if it's God's idea? עצת ה׳ היא תקום The letters of the word היא rescrambled, stand for א ם י רצה ה ׳ If Hashem wants When a person gets into the habit of saying,I'm Yirtzeh Hashem/ If God wants, it will bring success. He also says something fascinating- We see in Parashat Hukat that God was exacting with Moshe Rabbenu for hitting the rock rather than speaking to the rock. But the commentaries say that really, Moshe Rabbenu wasn't supposed to go into Eretz Yisrael anyway. God was, so to say, looking for a pretense to hold him back from entering, so it had to be something. Rav Abramsky tells a story that he says he heard from Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer- As was well known, the Chafetz Chaim planned to move to Eretz Yisrael later in life, but he did not end up going - for a variety of reasons- As we have said in the past, when the great Syrian Mekubal Rav Shaul Dweck HaKohen, who was in Eretz Yisrael at the time, was told that Chafetz Chaim was preparing to come (it was world news), he said he's not coming. How did he know?He was a great mekubal. When the Chafetz Chaim did not end up coming, they asked him how he knew, and Rav Shaul answered that a Gadol Hador has to be owned by Klal Yisrael, by the people at large. If he is owned by one party, then the other party thinks he is not theirs, and he can't be a true Gadol and world leader. The Chafetz Chaim was a world leader. But if he were to come to Eretz Yisrael, with so many different groups, factions and parties, he'd end up belonging to one group over the other, and would not be able to have the same leadership power. Sure enough, he didn't come. There were other, on the ground reasons that covered up the real reason Hashem didn't allow it to happen. In 1935, the Chafetz Chaim spoke in Radin for what they thought was the final time before he'd leave. It was his final goodbye speech. After he spoke, one of the baalei batim , a sked (in simplicity and with no ill intentions) why the Chafetz Chaim did not say Im Yirtzha Hashem even once in the whole speech. That night, the Chafetz Chaim's wife suddenly got sick with very severe disease, and they canceled their trip. Rav Abramsky added that of course, Hashem was very medakdek/exacting with the Chafetz Chaim, and there were more reasons he didn't end up moving, but what Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer brought out was that when a person doesn't use the term Im Yirtzah Hashem, it might be a signal, or even a cause, for something not to be successful. We have to get into this habit. In our community we say, “ Inshallah ,” which is the Arabic way to say, “ With God's help, ” so this has been in our vernacular for a long time. We also say “ Allamaak ,” which means “ God be with you.” This is an ancient tradition, whether in Arabic, English or whatever language you speak. B'Ezrat Hashem , we will take this lesson to heart. Have a wonderful day.
Rav Shaul Leiter grew up in New York in the '60s, an authentic child of that fascinating decade. And when he was out for a run one day, wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and with his long hair in a ponytail, he had no idea that his life was going to change forever, eventually leading him to Israel in 1979. He wound up in Tzfat where he, his wife and two other couples built an absolute gem of an organization – Ascent, but we're getting a little ahead of ourselves. I sat with Reb Shaul recently in his Tzfat office, to hear his story, some lessons, and the best darned description of eating falafel that I think I've ever heard. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/return-again/support

In the times of the Bet Ha'mikdash, a special sacrifice was offered on Shabuot called the Korban Sheteh Ha'lehem, which consisted of two loaves of bread. The Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles, Cracow, 1525-1572) writes that the famous custom to eat dairy products on Shabuot commemorates this sacrifice. Since a loaf of bread used at a dairy meal cannot then be used at a meat meal, having both a dairy meal and a meat meal on Shabuot necessitates using two different loaves of bread – symbolizing the Korban Sheteh Ha'lehem. A unique feature of this sacrifice is that these loaves were baked as Hametz. Normally, all flour offerings in the Bet Ha'mikdash were required to remain unleavened, without becoming Hametz. Shabuot marks an exception, as the Torah requires offering two leavened loaves as part of the special holiday sacrifice. How might we explain the significance of this offering? The answer emerges from the only other instance when Hametz was included in an offering in the Bet Ha'mikdash – the Korban Toda, or thanksgiving offering. This offering included forty loaves of bread, ten of which were baked as Hametz. Another unusual characteristic of the Toda is the time-frame for the consumption of the meat. Normally, when one offers a sacrifice whose meat is shared by the Kohanim and the person offering the sacrifice, the meat may be eaten through the following day. Meaning, if one offered the sacrifice on Monday, he may eat the meat until sundown on Tuesday. The Korban Toda, however, is exceptional, in that the meat is eaten by the person bringing the sacrifice – and with those with whom he shares it – but only through the night after the sacrifice is offered. If a "Toda" is offered on Monday, its meat may be eaten through Monday night, but not on Tuesday. The Abarbanel (Rav Don Yishak Abarbanel, Portugal, 1437-1508) explains that one who brings a Toda is expected to conduct a large feast, inviting many guests, in order to publicly express his gratitude to G-d for helping him. The Torah therefore commanded that the Toda must be a very large sacrifice, which may be eaten in a brief period of time, thus necessitating the invitation of a large number of guests, through whom G-d's kindness is widely publicized. A number of Rabbis have noted that the Korban Pesach resembles a Korban Toda. It includes bread – specifically, Masa – and the meat of the sacrifice may be eaten only through the night after the sacrifice is offered (or until Hasot, according to one opinion). Moreover, the Korban Pesach was customarily eaten in large groups – just as our Pesach Seder even today is conducted in large family gatherings – like the Korban Toda. Of course, there is one critical distinction between the Korban Pesach and the Korban Toda – the Korban Pesach includes only Masa, without any leavened bread. According to one commentator – Rav Shaul of Amsterdam (1717-1790) – the first of the four questions asked by the child at the Seder relates precisely to this point. The child observes that "on all nights we eat both Hametz and Masa." Rav Shaul of Amsterdam explained this to mean that generally, when a Korban Toda is brought, it consists of both Hametz and Toda, whereas on Pesach, we include with our thanksgiving offering only Masa. But what is the answer to this question? Why does a regular Korban Toda consist of both Hametz and Masa, whereas the Korban Pesach – when we offer thanksgiving for the miracle of the Exodus – includes only Masa? The answer is the celebration of Shabuot. The Hametz loaves offered on Shabuot complete the Korban Toda that began on Pesach. The "missing" Hametz loaves from the Korban Pesach, our thanksgiving offering celebrating the Exodus, are brought on Shabuot. This insight into the special Shabuot offering underscores the strong link between Pesach and Shabuot. The Ramban (Rav Moshe Nahmanides, 1194-1270) famously writes that the Sefirat Ha'omer period between Pesach and Shabuot should be seen as the "Hol Ha'mo'ed" of a single, integrated holiday. Meaning, Pesach and Shabuot are actually two parts of the same holiday, linked by the Omer period. Pesach celebrates our freedom from Egyptian slavery. However, we were not completely free until we arrived at Sinai and received the Torah. Freedom without a goal, an ideal, a purpose, is not true freedom. The significance of the freedom we attained at Pesach did not materialize until we received the Torah, which is the purpose for which we were brought out of Egypt. True freedom does not mean that we can do whatever we want. Freedom means that we are able to live with meaning and purpose. And thus the process of the Exodus which began on Pesach was not complete until Shabuot. In light of what we have seen, we might refer to Shabuot as our "thanksgiving." This is when the Korban Toda – the thanksgiving sacrifice – is completed. It is the time when we give thanks to Hashem for granting us the ultimate freedom – the freedom to serve Him, thereby realizing the purpose for which we were created.

Exhortaciones de rav Shaul a los de las comunidades de Filipos y Colosas.
Torah Portion "'בראשית/Beresheet" which means "In The Beginning" delivered on October 17, 2020. This week's portion covers Genesis/Beresheet 1:1-6:8 and begins, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Pastor Richard opens the teaching this week with a statement: We must know our origin in order to know our destination. We see in Revelation that Yeshua says, “I am the Alpha (Aleph) and the Omega (Tav), the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” This shows us He was there at the beginning, and He will be there at the end. Pastor Richard also points out that the first blessing by Hashem is the one given to the Sabbath Day. He also points out that the first sin, the one in which sin entered humanity, was one of disobedience with food…so if you think what we eat isn't important to Hashem, you need to consider this part very carefully. Hashem is Holy, and holiness does not bend or change.Next, Pastor Richard discusses the name of the portion. He goes deeper, with a remez teaching on the gematria of the name, as well as breaking the word down into its parts and root, showing how Hashem has told the end from the beginning. Pastor Richard also shows how the sages see the beginning as the first command of Hashem, and how it is the gate to the Kingdom, which Yeshua has also said Himself to be. The sages say you cannot believe in the gate without believing in Torah, and vice versa. Which brings us to a statement made by Yeshua in John 5:46-47, (paraphrased) “If you do not believe in the words of Moses, how will you believe My words?”Pastor Richard also discusses the light that was brought forth in the beginning, the command being (in Hebrew) “Yehi Ohr,” the gematria of which will absolutely stun you! Pastor Richard also discusses the tense of the second part of the verse, the phrase “vayahi orh,” that it should have been written “vehaya ohr,” and how the sages explain this.Lastly, to conclude the portion's teaching, Pastor Richard discusses verse 4 of Genesis 1, the goodness of the light, connecting it to Yeshua who was the light of the world, referring to Himself as such several times in scripture. Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) writes to the Corinthians in his second epistle “do not be bound to unbelievers…what fellowship does light have with darkness” (2Cor6:14) because he understood the light from the beginning was the Spirit of Messiah. Pastor Richard breaks down who is Belial that Rav Shaul refers to, and shows even in the New Internation Dictionary of the New Testament that the reference points to haSatan (cursed be his name.)This week our Haftorah teaching is delivered by Brother Mark from Isaiah 42:5-43:10, and the New Covenant teaching is delivered by Brother Ted from John 1:1-18. We hope and pray that you find blessing in our teachings. We ask that you please join us each week as we dig deep into scripture to learn more about the God of Israel, and reveal the Messiah throughout the Old Testament.

Este estudio te llevará a comprender la verdadera esencia de la kabaláh, nos meteremos a la profundidad de su enseñanza para conocer su parte más oscura, mística y esotérica de esta doctrina. Existe mucho engaño en esta corriente espiritual, que se ha metido en el trasfondo de casi todas las religiones del mundo, inclusive en el cristianismo romano y todas denominaciones {mas de 40 mil de ellas}, y por si fuera poco, haciendo estragos aún en las Raíces Hebreas. Ha´Satán {el Najash} es astuto y mentiroso, dice Rav Shaúl que no ignoramos sus maquinaciones {2 Cor. 2:11}, y que el Satán se disfraza como un "Malaj {Mensajero} de Luz" {2 Cor.11:14}. Es así como pretende desviar lo Kadosh de su verdad esencial, trayendo un espíritu de ceguera espiritual y de ignorancia ¡ atrapando a millones de almas en toda la tierra ! Es por eso nuestro interés de mostrarte lo oculto de esta doctrina engañosa, y enseñarte algo que nunca te van a mostrar por primera vez, sin antes prepararte para que puedas "Recibir" la "verdad de todas las cosas" y puedan llevarte a un grado mayor de "conciencia elevada", por eso "Kabaláh" significa Recepción, pero en realidad ¿Qué es lo que recibes? Te ahorraremos tiempo, dinero y esfuerzo, pero sobre todo, salvaremos tu vida de caer en las redes de la mentira, y te llevaremos a escudriñar la Toráh para saber que es lo que dice YHWH de esta enseñanza espiritual. ¡Te animamos a escudriñarlo todo! This study will lead you to understand the true essence of Kabbalah, we will go to the depth of its teaching to know its darkest, mystical and esoteric part of this doctrine. There is much deception in this spiritual current, which has been placed in the background of almost all the religions of the world, including in Roman Christianity and all denominations {more than 40 thousand of them}, and as if that were not enough, wreaking havoc even in the Hebrew Roots. Ha'Satan (the Najash) is cunning and a liar, says Rav Shaul that we do not ignore his machinations {2 Cor. 2:11}, and that the Satan disguises himself as a "Malach {Messenger} of Light" {2 Cor.11: 14}. This is how he intends to divert the Kadosh from its essential truth, bringing a spirit of spiritual blindness and ignorance trapping millions of souls throughout the earth! That is why our interest is to show you the hidden aspects of this deceitful doctrine, and to teach you something that they will never show you for the first time, without first preparing you so that you can "Receive" the "truth of all things" and can take you to a degree higher than "high consciousness", that is why "Kabbalah" means Reception, but in reality What do you get? We will save you time, money and effort, but above all, we will save your life from falling into the networks of lies, and we will take you to search the Torah to know what YHWH says about this spiritual teaching. We encourage you to scrutinize everything!

We have just spent eight weeks looking at men and women of faith. These men and women had something in common, it was the super natural power of G-d operating in and through their lives. The power of G-d is the distinguishing sign authenticating that the message we bring and the G-d we serve is the real one. Rav Shaul in writing to the Kehilah at Thessalonica say’s “5 For our besorah did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Ruach HaKodesh and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. Then in his first letter to the Corinthians he say’s “20 For the kingdom of G-d is not in word but in power.” Power for the believer is connected to the Ruach HaKodesh. He is the one that enables us to access the power of G-d. This Series will encourage us on this power. The good news is that G-d promised that He would send us both His Ruach and His power and today's message will focus on that promise.
