Love and Torah—what's the link? This series focuses on the “Two Great Commands"—loving Yahweh and your neighbor. While many groups claim to believe in the Creator and His Messiah, they often hold differing views. Everyone agrees love is vital, but what does it look like in practice? What actions does it involve? In this series, Love & Torah, Rabbi Steve Berkson offers straightforward biblical insights into these questions. After finishing his study of Psalm 119, which highlights loving Elohim, Rabbi Berkson now turns to how to love others. The Gospel of John, chapter 15, serves as an ideal starting point, as Messiah Yeshua uses agricultural metaphors to teach His disciples about the relationship He desires among believers. • What is the “gap” between the Gardener and the Vine? • What does pruning mean? How does it relate to you? • If Messiah Yeshua calls Himself the “True Vine," could there be false vines? • Why did Messiah Yeshua say, “Stay in Me"? • Why does verse 15:3 mention being clean because of the Word? • What is a direct download from the Ruach? • Do you need to pray before doing anything? • What is “Vertical Awareness”? Rabbi Berkson once again analyzes these passages in detail, helping you gain a deeper understanding of what Yah expects and how you can fulfill it to receive blessings.

Better Homes and Garden The last several newsletters have investigated the Torah's ancient call to hospitality, not just a a nice thing to do, but as a vital preparation to inherit the Kingdom. Our hospitality study trail through the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and New Covenant started with Song of Songs 5:1, a restoration of the Bride and Bridegroom to the Garden of Eden: "I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam.I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends; drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.” This hospitality verse is thought to be one source for the traditional belief that the four rivers of Eden flow with milk, honey, wine, and balsam. In past newsletters, we made the connection between hospitality to the needy and the righteous stranger and one's preparation for to inherit, or even just enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Mt 25:34-46). Entering the Father's House, which was prepared for the righteous from the foundation of the world, is contingent upon preparing one's own house. Yeshua will definitely knock on the door! The very light of the earth was sown for the righteous at the beginning (Ps 97:11), the light of the Word of good works for them to walk in eternally (Eph 2:10). A better garden will be filled with the multiplication of human beings, the precious crown of creation created to fellowship with the Holy One Himself. Yeshua taught his disciples that the "rooms" of the Garden, their eternal home of inheritance, are being prepared for them, yet they also must prepare to inherit by preparing their own homes on earth. This would cause the Presence of the Creator to dwell comfortably in them. Better home, better Garden. "Depart from evil and do good, so you will abide forever. For the LORD loves justice and does not forsake His godly ones; they are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be cut off. The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever." (Ps 37:27-29) ?????????? ??????????????? ????????????? ????? ???????? The commentators to the verse in Song of Songs 5:1 connect it to Psalm 37:27-29 above in the Midrash Rabbah and write, ”The word yishkenu should not be translated as ‘they will dwell,' but as a causative verb in the present tense, ‘They cause to dwell.'” “If only the righteous dwell upon the earth, what will the wicked do? Shall they fly in the air? Rather, the verse means that the wicked did not cause the Divine Presence to dwell on earth, but the righteous did cause the Divine Presence to dwell on earth.” (5§1) In yishkenu, you see the root of shachan, "to dwell," and the "Shechinah," or indwelling Presence. The Presence of the Creator Elohim has always longed to have an intimate relationship with human beings. He did not appoint them to rule of the earth in order to be a distant, cold judge of their actions, but so they would administer on His behalf according to His will because His Word was alive in them through fellowship. They would be able rulers because of their daily walking and talking in the special abode, the Garden of Eden. The Garden is thought to hover just above the Land of Israel, its centerpoint over Jerusalem. From there the Kingdom will be administered by Yeshua. The righteous are those whose lives are a home of hospitality to the Presence of Elohim. They CAUSE Him to descend for the fellowship He longs for with His creation. Inheriting the Land of Israel, the administrative center of the entire earth, is a matter of preparation. Even in Revelation 21:2, the Bride is described as the inhabitants of New Jerusalem “prepared for her husband.” Prepared. Prepared. Who is the Bride? Those who prepared the better Garden, working the will of the Word in their lives, which affects what Yeshua prepares for them in the Third Heaven, or the Garden of Eden. Is there something in our hospitality study to connect us to this Third Heaven?

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha "Lech Lecha," Genesis 12:1-`7:27) -- which might be considered the original "come out" teaching in Scripture -- where the first Patriarch, Abram (later Abraham) is told to "get thee OUT" of your country, leave what you have known, and "go to the land that I will show you." It's a historic, literally "Biblical-level" Act of Faith. But that is where the story of the life of one of the most important men in Scripture, and the 'Father of our Faith," only begins. Here's the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/SSM-10-31-25-Lech-Lecha-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 This parsha lays out several truly 'fundamental' elements. One, referenced often in the Apostolic Writings (aka 'Old' Testament) is that the man re-named Abraham in this story "believed YHVH," and his actions repeatedly made that clear, and He "counted it to him for righteousness." (Genesis 15:6, referenced by Paul/Shaul in Romans 4.) Mark begins the Sabbath midrash with what some might consider a surprising understanding, given that is counter to what many may have heard, as he notes, "twisted," and it lies at the heart of this story: Galatians has been taught "backwards." What does Hagar, 'the Egyptian,' represent? And if Paul, as he said, wrote to the former pagans in Galatia that he was worried that they were already "turning away" from that faith demonstrated by Abraham to the "weak and beggarly elements" from which they had been delivered, what does that mean? And, ultimately, just who is the 'son of the bondwoman'? Once you see through the lies we have been fed - "inherited from our fathers" (some more literally than others) - it will be unseen. Please share this one if you find it valuable. "Lech Lecha: Twistings - from THAT 'sign' to the Real 'Son of the Bondwoman'" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/WT-CooH-11-1-25-Lech-Lecha-Who-is-the-real-son-of-the-Egyptian-Bondwoman-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Send us a textEver wondered how Christians can confess one God while worshiping the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? We take a slow, careful walk through Scripture to show why the Bible leads us to a triune confession without turning God into parts or faces of a single person. With a pastor's tone and a student's humility, we map the clear boundaries: three divine persons, one indivisible essence, acting inseparably in creation, providence, and redemption.We start by defining the Godhead and why equality of eternity and deity must be held for Father, Son, and Spirit. From there, we trace the distinct roles in salvation—election by the Father, redemption by the Son, regeneration by the Holy Spirit—showing how unity and distinction live together in the same gospel. Along the way, we address common pitfalls like modalism and the “Jesus only” movement, explaining why the Bible's personal language for the Spirit and the Son rules out a single-person God who changes forms.To anchor the conversation, we open key texts: Elohim in Genesis 1, “Let us make man,” the confusion at Babel, and the Shema in Deuteronomy 6, read carefully to show how God's oneness does not erase the hints of plurality. We also talk about why terms like Trinity or triune can be useful even if they aren't in the Bible, just as believers use words like “millennium” or “rapture” as shorthand for clear biblical ideas. Because no analogy can capture the uncreated God, we end by commending a posture of faith, repentance, and humility—receiving what God has revealed and refusing to force what he has not.If this helped you see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit with fresh clarity, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who's wrestling with the Trinity, and leave a review telling us which passage most changed your perspective.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

This week, Pete Rambo and Mark Call close out the Torah Teachers' Round Table, and the special "Two House" series, with part four.

Sometimes, it is downright amazing how various events just seem to "come together." Whether it is an accident, or by design, is another issue, however. Still, this coming weekend is a prime example; we're there. First the 'high Satanic holy day' dedicated to pagan sacrifice, and those who are duped into letting children participate. But that is followed up immediately by the "EBT riots" so carefully engineered by the Far Left, who may talk about "the poor" but are more than anxious to hang them out to dry die. And they are just plain jonesin' for the riots that have been so carefully orchestrated. And, ironically, even the idiocy of "Daylight Savings Time" goes off this weekend, and it amounts to an extra Bonus Riot Hour on Sunday evening, and every night thereafter, so that it will be dark just that much earlier. "CONFLUENCE..."

Mark Call and David Justice discuss the major news of the week, the Schumer Shutdown, and the intended EBT/SNAP Riots to come.

This brief bedtime Shema offers a gentle transition from the fullness of the day into the quiet of night. Rooted in gratitude and forgiveness, it invites a soft unwinding—a release of what's been carried and a return to simple presence. Together or alone, you might share a few calm breaths, a whispered "Shema," or a tender goodnight, allowing the day to settle gently behind you. Even without the longer rituals or stories, each gesture—a touch on the shoulder, a murmured blessing, a shared stillness—becomes its own prayer. The familiar rhythm of this practice creates a pocket of peace: a moment to let go, to forgive, and to remember that rest itself is holy. In this shortened form, the essence remains the same—a sacred pause where love, safety, and trust prepare the heart for sleep.

Parsha "Noach" (Genesis 6:9-11:32) is actually the second, and concluding part of the story of the "days of Noah," and is the reading that contains the most well-known (and also sometimes LEAST known!) elements of the story of The Flood. But there's more, too, because it also includes the "Tower of Babel," and the intro to the first of the Patriarchs. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SSM-10-24-25-Noach-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 Mark begins the Sabbath midrash with the observation that the 'days of Noah' spanned not only the time prior to the Flood when "the thoughts of men's hearts was only evil continually," but also many years thereafter, and certainly through the time of Nimrod, and up to the story of Babel. And that is particularly key when it comes to understanding the somewhat enigmatic story of His 'confounding the language' to deliberately ensure that mankind is NOT "one people," and NOT able to 'work together for the common good.' The fact that so much of today's 'One World' propaganda pushes exactly that goal should be concerning, at minimum, given that YHVH explained His concern by saying the reason for His actions was that once they learned to work together, and seemingly plot to thwart His potential plans, "THIS is what they begin to do." "Noach: Maybe 'coexist' is NOT the best motto - then or now" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/WT-CooH-10-25-25-Noach-Am-Echad-And-THIS-is-What-they-Begin-to-DO-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

News and commentary from host Mark Call for the news that actually matters for the week ending 25 October, 2025.

Torah teachers Pete Rambo and Mark Call resume the special series of round table sessions on one of the most important, and certainly overlooked and misunderstood, subjects in Scripture, the "Two Houses" that came from the Twelve Tribes, with part III this week. They literally permeate the prophets, and in particular things that have not yet come to pass, but are still largely an enigma to "churchianity." The chapters they explore this week - Jeremiah 3, and Ezekiel 23, are sometimes even considered "controversial" by a 'church' that is still in exile for the very reasons they outline. They should NOT be, and the fact that some claim they are just helps make His point.

"WAR!" We are there. On SO many fronts. Join host Mark Call for a look at the "pinchers" (courtesy of the Marxists, Bolsheviks, and Far-Left US traitors) that are intended to squeeze Americans into poverty, despair - and compliance, if not simply death. "See, I have told you beforehand," says the Messiah, in Matthew 24. There's a reason for that. We are to "know the times and the seasons," and NOT be caught unaware, as like by a "thief in the night."

7 [10.22] Kitzur Yomi 5:9-16 [Berachos, Shema, Davening in Front of Ervah Not Fully Dressed Women]

Love and Torah—what's the connection? This series explores the “Two Great Commands'—loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. In Psalm 119, starting from verse 159, Rabbi Steve Berkson reveals a ‘truth' in King David's repeated pleas to Elohim to “revive” him because he loves Elohim's commandments. Do you feel the need for revival? Romans 10:4 mentions that “Messiah is the end of the Law for righteousness…" in some translations, but does this imply the Law's end, or does the word 'end' have a different meaning? Does 'forever' truly mean forever? Rabbi Berkson challenges the idea of forever, explaining his perspective. Daily life provides evidence that the Brit Hadasha (New Testament) is true—do you know what these signs are? As you strive to become like Messiah Yeshua, what is the most influential factor in your life? Rabbi Berkson again carefully analyzes these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yah expects, so you can act accordingly and receive His blessings.

Parsha "Bereshiet" (Genesis 1, through 6:8) is the first reading in the new cycle of the Torah, from "in the Beginning" to the first part of the "days of Noah." And as Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, noted last week, it's just too much to try and cover responsibly in just one week. And since the interesting of reading from the last parsha, at the end of Deuteronomy straight through into the first Book, since we never really finish our study of His Instruction, means we read and studied into the first few chapters of Genesis/Bereshiet last week, Mark did exactly that, and spent some time on the first three chapters then. So, this week, after a brief recap of the story of the 'nacash' and Eve/Chava's deception in chapter 3, and the "first two lies", the Erev Shabbat story and reading picks up there: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SSM-10-18-25-Bereshiet-continued-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 Even beyond the First Two Lies, is the one that actually is NOT in Scripture, but does permeate the Whore Church: That "jesus did away with the Law," "nailed it to the cross," and somehow did what the Real Messiah promised repeated He would NOT. The Sabbath Day midrash is all about the EFFECTS of those "Big Lies," especially in the presence of the level of Evil seen then - "as it was in the Days of Noach" - and again, now. Are we there yet? What can we now begin to see that looks like? And the repeated and urgent message is "see that you are not deceived!" Mark takes another look at the progression, the prophecy of Matthew 24, and where the Big Lies may lead next. It's time to not only 'connect some dots,' but even extrapolate a bit. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/WT-CooH-10-18-25-Bereshiet-pt-2-See-That-You-are-NOT-Deceived-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

David Justice and Mark Call review the major events of the week just past, from the latest major acts of treason being revealed, but largely still un-prosecuted, to the continued push toward Civil War 2.0, and the upcoming false flags.

Pastor Rodney continues his series on First Things First: The Shema; the most important commandment.

Today we had another “ask the Rabbi” session!  Rabbi Jim explained why Messianic Jews still celebrate Yom Kippor and other Jewish holidays.  Rabbi Jim is our Rabbi at Congregation Shema Yisrael in Rochester, New York. 

News, commentary, and an extended summary from host Mark Call of some of the biggest - and even best - news for the week ending 18 October, 2025. The treason continues to accelerate, but the prosecutions may have begun. And the warning signs are flashing.

The plans for destruction are longstanding, now obvious, and still in progress. Is it already... "Too Late Now" (!) (?)

In Episode 18 of the Ask Away series on the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe answers diverse questions from participants at the TORCH Centre in Houston, recorded on a Sunday before Rosh Hashanah (pre-October 8, 2025). The session covers topics from the spiritual significance of bread-making to mikvah customs, technology's role, and Rosh Hashanah prayers. Key themes include:Bread and Spiritual Symbolism: The 11-step bread-making process (Sidura DePas) counters the negative spiritual force of 11, tied to the curse of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:19). These steps are prohibited on Shabbat, and the temple's 11-ingredient incense similarly counters evil, contrasting with the holiness of 10 (e.g., Ten Commandments) (1:06–3:38).Tree of Knowledge: All trees were originally edible (Genesis 1:29, 2:9), not just a cinnamon tree, but this changed post-sin, making only fruit edible (4:13–5:16).Numerology and Superstition: The number 11 isn't inherently negative for birth dates, and superstitions (e.g., about yahrzeit candles or the number 13) are discouraged. Rosh Hashanah symbols like pomegranates inspire mitzvot, though no one can fulfill all 613 due to specific conditions (e.g., Kohen, Levi, or situational mitzvot) (5:35–10:42).Mikvah Customs: Men have no biblical obligation but follow a rabbinic custom to immerse before Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and festivals, using pools if needed. Women are obligated only post-menstruation, requiring kosher mikvahs. Post-menopause immersion is not required but can be spiritually beneficial, as seen in a case of Shema-induced distress (13:22–19:37, 26:15–28:37).Technology and Free Will: Hashem created technologies like social media to offer free will, allowing choices between good (e.g., sharing Torah) and distraction (e.g., games, news). Rabbi Wolbe uses platforms to spread Torah, urging listeners to prioritize meaningful activities (20:21–25:16).Pidyon HaBen: This mitzvah involves “redeeming” a firstborn Israelite son with five silver coins to a Kohen, symbolizing returning the child to the parents from Hashem (29:49–31:27).Rosh Hashanah Prayers: Focus on ultimate closeness to Hashem, not small personal requests, as this encompasses all needs (health, wealth, wisdom) for divine service, aligning with the holiday's lofty spiritual purpose (39:52–43:30).The episode concludes with blessings for a sweet Rosh Hashanah, spiritual growth, and a year of health and success, encouraging listeners to share Torah content.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #66) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

In Episode 18 of the Ask Away series on the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe answers diverse questions from participants at the TORCH Centre in Houston, recorded on a Sunday before Rosh Hashanah (pre-October 8, 2025). The session covers topics from the spiritual significance of bread-making to mikvah customs, technology's role, and Rosh Hashanah prayers. Key themes include:Bread and Spiritual Symbolism: The 11-step bread-making process (Sidura DePas) counters the negative spiritual force of 11, tied to the curse of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:19). These steps are prohibited on Shabbat, and the temple's 11-ingredient incense similarly counters evil, contrasting with the holiness of 10 (e.g., Ten Commandments) (1:06–3:38).Tree of Knowledge: All trees were originally edible (Genesis 1:29, 2:9), not just a cinnamon tree, but this changed post-sin, making only fruit edible (4:13–5:16).Numerology and Superstition: The number 11 isn't inherently negative for birth dates, and superstitions (e.g., about yahrzeit candles or the number 13) are discouraged. Rosh Hashanah symbols like pomegranates inspire mitzvot, though no one can fulfill all 613 due to specific conditions (e.g., Kohen, Levi, or situational mitzvot) (5:35–10:42).Mikvah Customs: Men have no biblical obligation but follow a rabbinic custom to immerse before Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and festivals, using pools if needed. Women are obligated only post-menstruation, requiring kosher mikvahs. Post-menopause immersion is not required but can be spiritually beneficial, as seen in a case of Shema-induced distress (13:22–19:37, 26:15–28:37).Technology and Free Will: Hashem created technologies like social media to offer free will, allowing choices between good (e.g., sharing Torah) and distraction (e.g., games, news). Rabbi Wolbe uses platforms to spread Torah, urging listeners to prioritize meaningful activities (20:21–25:16).Pidyon HaBen: This mitzvah involves “redeeming” a firstborn Israelite son with five silver coins to a Kohen, symbolizing returning the child to the parents from Hashem (29:49–31:27).Rosh Hashanah Prayers: Focus on ultimate closeness to Hashem, not small personal requests, as this encompasses all needs (health, wealth, wisdom) for divine service, aligning with the holiday's lofty spiritual purpose (39:52–43:30).The episode concludes with blessings for a sweet Rosh Hashanah, spiritual growth, and a year of health and success, encouraging listeners to share Torah content.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #66) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

News and commentary for Monday, 13 October, 2025.

The 'Rest of the Story'... regarding our Elul 17 Spiritual Warfare Shofar Blowing video complete with lightening in the clouds that covered the mountains between Shaddai Springs & Hell's Canyon. This video was recorded the morning of Sept 10, 2025 three minutes before 9am which was 3 hours before Charlie Kirk's last event was scheduled to begin... This video was recorded three hours before Charlie Kirk was assassinated and before I even knew who Charlie Kirk was! PLUS PEACE, PEACE, WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE but instead a sword. We have been hearing a lot about peace in the middle east lately... being called "eternal peace" and "everlasting peace" hailed in by the "prince of peace"... President Trump... Let's see what scripture has to say about this! THEN LASTLY, we will begin our "Did Ya' Know?" series with a crazy conversation we had with the Brave Browser's AI Assistant which it appears is not only a liar but also a Conspiracy Theorist.

Our exclusive loyalty and devotion to God is possibly demonstrated more in how we live than in what we say we believe. In this message, Pastor Aaron McRae teaches from Deuteronomy 6:4–9, reminding us that true devotion to God is revealed more by how we live than by what we say we believe. When our habits, routines, and rhythms are shaped by love for God, we reflect the Shema's call to love Him with all our heart, soul, and strength.This message challenges us to examine our loyalties and to live a life of undivided worship—one that puts God at the center of everything.

Love and Torah – what's the connection? This study series is centered around the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Psalm 119, verse 150, continues this teaching, where Rabbi Steve Berkson explains that those who pursue mischief have a different agenda than Yahweh and are far from His Torah. These individuals lack an intimate relationship with The Creator. They may outwardly do what is right, but their hearts are far from Him. Rabbi Berkson also explores the distinction between “mercy” and “grace/favor,” providing a clear understanding of these terms. King David, the psalmist, wrote about those who “have not sought Your Laws” and called them “the wrong ones.” Do you seek His Laws? Lashon Hara, Hebrew for “evil tongue,” is a term many people are familiar with but may be confused about its true meaning. Rabbi Berkson delves into the meaning of this term and its impact on your life and the lives of those around you. Rabbi Berkson offers some of the best life coaching available as he explores the intricate world of human relationships, including dating, marriage, and raising children. He highlights relationship attributes such as “default expectancy” and “understood expectancy,” helping you understand how these attributes can affect you. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages, providing a deeper understanding of what Yahweh expects of you, enabling you to fulfill His expectations and receive His blessings.

Parsha "V'zot HaBerakhah" (Deuteronomy (chapter 33 through the End of the Book, and the entire Torah) is the final reading in this cycle, and the life of Moses. The Erev Shabbat reading begins there: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SSM-10-10-25-V-zot-HaBerakhah-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 This Sabbath Day midrash comes during the week of Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles -- not only the actual time of the birth of the Messiah, but the heart of the yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies of the Greater Exodus, the Revelation, and the Wedding Feast. It's also when the annual Torah cycle readings conclude, and begin again.
