    This week the season of the Fall Feasts enter - literally - the final joyful week, with Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles, also known as 'the Season of our Joy.' And that turns out to be more appropriate than most 'Christians' have been told in 'sun-god-day school,' because, as is readily shown, it is the time of His actual birth.

    This week's learning is sponsored by Jonathan Aibel in honor of Natasha Shabat. "Giving in honor of my teacher, who has opened many doors of Torah for me."  Rava explained the opinion of Rabbi Shimon in the Mishna to be referring to a case where the woman sent an agent to accept a betrothal for her and specified with what the husband would betroth her and the messenger accepted something else of higher value. He ruled that this betrothal is effective as she was merely suggesting a possible method. Abaye explains that Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel and Rabbi Elazar each hold the same thing but in a different case - one regarding a regular document/tied document and the other regarding a woman who appoints an agent to receive her divorce document and also specifies the location where the agent is to go to receive it. Ula qualified the debate between Rabbi Shimon and the rabbis as a case of differences in monetary value, but not differences in social status as not every woman would be happy to marry a man of higher status. A braita is brought to strengthen his qualification and it is derived from the Mishnayot here as well. Mar, the son of Rav Ashi raises a difficulty about the derivation from the Mishna but it is resolved in two possible ways. The Gemara brings in a braita with possible terms a husband can use as a condition when betrothing a wife and an explanation is brought for each as to what is meant by that, such as, "that I am a learner," what type of learner does he need to be, i.e. how do we check the veracity of his statement? Following a discussion on "on the condition that I am wise" which mentioned a number of examples of the best of the sages, the Gemara agra brings a series of statements: "Ten measures of...came down to the world and nine of them were taken by..."

    The fall season brings with it the celebration of life and the harvesting of the produce that gives life. One of the Feasts of the Lord is the Feast of Tabernacles or Succot. It is a time to celebrate the promise of our Heavenly Father dwelling with us. Even the coming of the Messiah Yashua was a foretaste of that promise as the angel told Mary that he would be called Emmanuel which means "God with us." The two Psalms that remind us of this dwelling are Psalm 132 and 133. I include the music from those Psalms to help us appreciate the promise of His return. Blessings.

    Prepare to embark on an enlightening exploration of Sukkot's four species symbolism. I promise you'll gain a new perspective on the citron, palm branch, myrtle, and willow, not just as physical entities but as spiritual representations of different parts of our body and our commitment to God. We'll also delve into the profound act of shaking the lulav in all four directions, demonstrating God's reign over the world, and our personal commitment to manifesting the changes we pledged during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.Let's dive deeper into the essence of Sukkot, understanding the significance of fully committing to its observance, which includes stepping into the Sukkah with our whole being. This act doesn't merely show obedience, but symbolizes a tangible demonstration of our commitment to Hashem. We'll also delve into why the seemingly trivial requirement of having two and half walls for a kosher Sukkah holds a deeper meaning, symbolizing Hashem's embrace of our repentance and readiness for transformation.Not forgetting each of the seven days of Sukkot, associated with a unique trait of Hashem. Together, we'll learn how to tap into these traits and how they all eventually lead to the oneness of Hashem. We'll also confront the concept of idolatry, understanding that anything obstructing our service to Hashem can be an idol, and how the four species can help us reach a revelation of Hashem, purifying our connection with God. As we wrap up, we'll understand the importance of fully committing to the mitzvah of Sukkot and how it can foster our relationship with Hashem, and ultimately prepare us for the arrival of Mashiach.This episode (#241) of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe is dedicated in Honor of Alan Schneider!****To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol Jewish Inspiration Podcast: https://inspiration.transistor.fm/episodes Parsha Review Podcast: https://parsha.transistor.fm/episodes Living Jewishly Podcast: https://jewishly.transistor.fm/episodes Thinking Talmudist Podcast: https://talmud.transistor.fm/episodes Unboxing Judaism Podcast: https://unboxing.transistor.fm/episodes Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection: https://collection.transistor.fm/episodes Please send your questions, comments and even your stories to awolbe@torchweb.orgPlease visit www.torchweb.org to see a full listing of our Jewish outreach and educational resources available in the Greater Houston area and please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help support our global outreach at https://www.torchweb.org/donate. Thank you!For a full listing of podcasts available by TORCH at https://www.TORCHpodcasts.comRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on September 26, 2023, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on September 29, 2023 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    The destruction of the foundational concept of 'property rights' has been underway for quite some time. From 'infringing' the single type of property which "shall not be infringed," to "civil asset forfeiture," of anything that needs stealin', we've witnessed the 'progressive' progression. But this week, the final nail was hammered in the coffin. And the Great Irony is, it's based on a claim of 'fraud,'which is itself a fraud. What is Truth? The one who decides that, plays 'god'.

    By any measure, even recent insanity, this has been another pretty weird week. But the difference seems to be that there's no longer even a pretense that there is still "one law" in the once-free united States for the Elite and the peons...SOME of whom are beginning to realize that they really ARE slaves. David Justice and Mark Call talk about the news of the week; in particular what is happening in what was once called 'the court system,' and, in the process, a bit of what that destruction means for us. If YHVH has indeed (Isaiah chapter 66) "chosen their delusions," we have to ask the question, "then who are we to try to get them to choose otherwise?"

    Sukkot: Enveloped in Hashem's Protection

    The sukkah represents the hashgacha and protection Hashem has for us. We pray every day ופרוש עלינו סוכת שלומיך , we want to be enveloped by Hashem's protection on all sides. While sitting in the sukkah we are supposed to remember how Hashem enveloped our ancestors in the desert with His loving Clouds of Glory. With those clouds, Hashem took care of all of their needs down to the last detail - He paved the roads for them, protected them from the harmful animals, cleaned and pressed their clothing while they were still wearing them, protected them from the hot sun and the cold nights, from the winds and from the elements. When we sit in our sukkot , we should remind ourselves that today, as well, Hashem protects and takes care of all of our needs. According to Rabbi Akiva, we're supposed to remember that Hashem housed each Jewish family in their own structure in the desert as well. Rav Chaim Shmulevitz explained, this shows us how Hashem not only cared for us as a nation, but as individuals as well. Each family was provided with exactly what they needed to be able to construct their own home. For us as well, every person is provided with everything he needs, directly from Hashem. He takes care of us and gives us everything we have. In today's times, He does it from behind the scenes. We don't have miraculous clouds surrounding us, but if we open our eyes and notice, we'll see Hashem guiding us every day of our lives. What might appear to be a wrong turn or a wrong number is Hashem's way of leading us to the places we need to be. Recently, a man stayed in the hospital over Shabbat to be with his wife who was a patient at NYU. His son came along as well. During the day, the father told his son to go visit a friend of his who was also a patient there in room 1425. The son accidentally went to room 1525 instead. In that room was a Jew who had been in the hospital with Corona since March 30, for over 5 months. He had been intubated for a long time and miraculously survived his very long battle. Since it was Shabbat there were no other visitors so the son stayed there for a while talking to him. When he went back upstairs he told his father he mistakenly went to the wrong room, but he was happy he went because the man appreciated the visit very much. That evening, the father decided to pay that man a visit. While he was there, he told him a short devar Torah to give him chizuk . He quoted a pasuk in Tehilim , "ויספרו מעשיו ברינה", which means we tell over the doings of Hashem with joy. The man asked, "The word סיפור usually connotes a new story, but when it comes to Hashem, nothing is new to Him. He knows everything." The man answered, "It's referring to informing individuals about the great deeds that Hashem had done for them. Many times people have no idea about the miracles Hashem did for them and it is incumbent upon others to inform them so they could appreciate them and rejoice in Hashem's salvation." He went on to tell this patient how fortunate he was to be alive, that he had no idea about all the miracles Hashem did for him during the time he was intubated and more. The patient appreciated it and got a lot of chizuk from it. The next day, an administrator from the hospital who happens to be a religious woman went to visit that patient. She was involved in his case and periodically went to check up on him. While she was there, he told her this devar Torah that he had heard the day before about appreciating all Hashem did for him. She was very impressed. That same day, she called one of the doctors in charge of the rehabilitation center at Rusk asking if this patient could be admitted. She told him it would do wonders for him and would enable him to finally leave the hospital. The problem was, to qualify for that rehabilitation center, the patient had to be at a certain level mentally and when the doctor heard who the patient was, he said absolutely not - someone who had been totally out of touch for months and is not fully aware of what's going on could not be admitted. The woman then told the doctor, "You are mistaken. I can assure you his mental capabilities are very strong now." And she proceeded to tell that doctor, who was an unaffiliated Jew, the devar Torah which he just told her. The doctor was impressed, he went down to meet the patient and allowed him to come to the rehabilitation center. Baruch Hashem, in just a couple of weeks there, he improved a great deal and is just about ready to finally come home. It turned out that devar Torah was the catalyst to get him the help that he needed. It is only because the son "accidentally" went to the wrong room that all of this started. A simple hashgacha pratit story, seeing how Hashem guides us from behind the scenes all the time. Chag Same'ach and Shabbat Shalom .

    Eating Bread in the Sukka on the First Night of Sukkot; Eating on Erev Sukkot; Rainfall on the First Night of Sukkot

    Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in his Hazon Ovadia – Laws of Sukkot (p. 115), cites a debate as to whether one may fulfill the obligation to eat bread in the Sukka on the first night of Sukkot by eating bread with a spread or dip. According to one view, the Ke'zayit of bread eaten to fulfill this obligation must be eaten plain, without any spreads and without dipping it in any condiments such as Tehina and the like. Although other authorities allow eating the Ke'zayit of bread with spreads and dips, Hacham Ovadia rules that one should preferably follow the stringent view and eat the Ke'zayit of bread plain. (Of course, after eating a Ke'zayit of plain bread one may then eat bread with spreads and the like.)The Rama (Rabbi Moshe Isserles, Poland, 1520-1572), in his work Darchei Moshe, cites the ruling of the Maharil (Rabbi Yaakov Halevi Molin, Germany, 1365-1427) forbidding the consumption of bread during the afternoon of Erev Sukkot. This ruling stems from the Halachic association between the obligation to eat bread in the Sukka on the first night of Sukkot and the requirement to eat Masa on the first night of Pesah. Just as Halacha forbids eating during the afternoon of Erev Pesah, to ensure that one eats the Masa with a hearty appetite, it is likewise forbidden on Erev Sukkot to eat after midday, so that the Ke'zayit of bread in the Sukka will be eaten with an appetite. However, Hacham Ovadia Yosef cites numerous authorities, including the Mishna Berura (work by Rabbi Yisrael Kagan, the "Hafetz Haim," Lithuania, 1839-1933), who limit this prohibition to the late afternoon hours of Erev Sukkot. In their view, the prohibition begins at ten hours into the day, which this time of year (in the New York City area) is at approximately 3-3:30 PM. It should be emphasized that this prohibition applies only to bread; it is permissible to eat other foods, even after the tenth hour, provided that one does not fill his stomach completely.Later in the aforementioned work (p. 122), Hacham Ovadia makes reference to the debate among the Rishonim (Medieval Halachic scholars) as to whether one must eat a Ke'zayit of bread in the Sukka on the first night even when rain falls. The Hacham follows the opinion that one is not required to eat in the Sukka when rain falls on the first night, in light of the famous Halachic principle of "Mista'er Patur Min Ha'Sukka" – one is exempt from the Sukka obligation if residing in the Sukka would cause discomfort. This is in contrast to the ruling of the Rama, who held that one must eat a Ke'zayit of bread in the Sukka on the first night even in inclement weather. Hacham Ovadia notes that even according to this stringent view, one would not recite the Beracha of "Lei'shev Ba'sukka" when he eats in the Sukka in the rain.In such a case, when rain falls on the first night of Sukkot and one therefore eats indoors, does he recite the Beracha of She'heheyanu the following day, when he eats in the Sukka for the first time?Hacham Ovadia (ibid. p. 125) cites authorities who indeed require reciting She'heheyanu in such a case given the occasion of eating in the Sukka for the first time. Others, however, disagree, claiming that this Beracha is unnecessary as the individual recited it the previous night to mark the occasion of Yom Tov. Hacham Ovadia employs here the rule of "Safek Berachot Le'hakel" – that one should not recite a Beracha if it is uncertain whether it is required – and therefore She'heheyanu should not be recited in such a case.Summary: When one fulfills the Torah obligation to eat a Ke'zayit of bread in the Sukka on the first night of Sukkot, he should eat the bread plain, and not with any spreads, condiments and the like. One should refrain from eating bread after the tenth hour of the day on Erev Sukkot. One may eat small quantities of other foods, provided that he will still have an appetite for the meal in the Sukka. If rain falls on the first night of Sukkot, one is not required to eat even a Ke'zayit of bread in the Sukka. When he then eats in the Sukka for the first time the following day, he does not recite She'heheyanu.

    At our Virtual Morning Minyan on September 28th, Rabbi Lizzi  puzzled over the plight of Moshe at the end of the Torah. Why does the man who delivered us from bondage (and received the Torah itself!) not live to see culmination of that labor? Why does the narrative of the Torah leave off with Moshe dying before making it into the Promised Land?

    What exactly is a kingdom? How can we as a 21st century believers living in a nation that prides itself on not being a Kingdom-a nation that literally was birthed in opposition to the idea of a king and a kingdom– actually understand what Yeshua was talking about when He said “Thy Kingdom come… ” More importantly, how can we prepare ourselves for life as citizens of God's kingdom? Kathy and Gary discuss the major paradigm shift needed for Christians to understand that God is establishing His kingdom government on earth and that Yeshua will one day reign from Jerusalem using Torah as the law of the land.

    Military attorney, Todd Callender, says lipid nanoparticles contain pathogens that can be released by pulsed 5G signal. We need to turn off all cell phones, iPads, and computer devices on: Wednesday, Oct 4, from 11am-1pm Pacific, (2-4PM EST).   The “cover story” is that this is a test of the Emergency Broadcast system administered by FEMA. Visit THIS LINK to see their public service announcement. In fact, there will be 3 pulses coming from 5G cell towers, sending three 18 gigahertz pulses out to cell phones. For those who have taken the jab, this will activate nanoparticles in the blood stream to release their deadly “payload” into the body. It is not known if unvaccinated folks who have been exposed to spike protein “shedding” from others will be affected or not. HOW YOU CAN PREPARE/WHAT TO DO: In an abundance of caution, it is highly recommended that we TURN OFF and UNPLUG cell phones, TVs, iPads, and computers at that time. If you have a Faraday bag, put your cell phone into a Faraday bag. If you don't have one, you can put it inside of your microwave oven, which serves as a Faraday device. Also,  STAY AS FAR AWAY as you can from 5G cell towers on October 4 from 11am to 1pm! Even if your devices are turned off, the 5G tower is going to be emitting dangerous  high energy frequencies on Oct 4 that we should NOT be exposed to.

The conversation takes an introspective turn as we ponder over the concept of G-d's justice, the idea of existence beyond the physical realm, and our purpose of inspiring others. Bruce and I grapple with the intriguing idea of why humans, with their innate ability for higher thinking, engage in actions not crucial for survival, emphasizing the tension between the body and soul.We wrap up the episode with a hearty discussion on truth and moral decay, exploring why justice and truth are central to our existence as humans. We delve into the Jewish perspective on war, battles, the importance of self-control, wisdom, and justice. Within the principles of Judaism, as we discuss,  are eternal ideas like justice, fairness, and honor that form the bedrock of a stable society. So, tune in and open your mind to a great conversation that promises to challenge, enlighten and inspire.

    Ever wondered about the profound symbolism and teachings of the mitzvah of shaking the four species on Sukkot? Brace for a deep dive into the intricacies of this mitzvah, as we unpack the teachings of our sages and the deep meaning behind this great Mitzvah. Get ready to understand the essence and the true meaning of pushing the Lulav back into whom all four directions belong.Drawing from the wisdom of the great Kabbalist, The Arizal, we unravel the profound connection between knowledge and action during Sukkot. We explore how the festivity, revered as the pinnacle of wisdom, bridges the gap between what we know and how we act. By shaking the four species, we begin to internalize this wisdom and connect it to our hearts, making our knowledge of Hashem tangible and deeply felt.The significance of action in observing Sukkot cannot be overstated. As we dive into how the physical demonstration of commitment forges a tangible connection to Hashem. We discuss how shaking the four species can help us internalize the belief that the world is under Hashem's control. Most importantly, we discover how we can potentially change the decrees of Rosh Hashanah until Hashanah Rabah, the last day of Sukkot. So join us, as we journey from understanding to action, connecting our minds, hearts, and bodies with Hashem's omnipresence.This episode (#240) of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe is dedicated in Honor of Marc Schneider!****To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol Jewish Inspiration Podcast: https://inspiration.transistor.fm/episodes Parsha Review Podcast: https://parsha.transistor.fm/episodes Living Jewishly Podcast: https://jewishly.transistor.fm/episodes Thinking Talmudist Podcast: https://talmud.transistor.fm/episodes Unboxing Judaism Podcast: https://unboxing.transistor.fm/episodes Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection: https://collection.transistor.fm/episodes Please send your questions, comments and even your stories to awolbe@torchweb.orgPlease visit www.torchweb.org to see a full listing of our Jewish outreach and educational resources available in the Greater Houston area and please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help support our global outreach at https://www.torchweb.org/donate. Thank you!For a full listing of podcasts available by TORCH at https://www.TORCHpodcasts.comRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on September 26, 2023, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on September 27, 2023 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Have you ever found a Bible verse confusing or frustrating? Or found two Bible verses that seem to contradict each other? Have you ever felt like something was missing from your toolbox during your Bible study? First Fruits of Zion has just rereleased a ten-week course designed to give you the tools you need to interpret the Bible in its original language, context, culture, time, and place. It's called HaYesod: The Foundation, and the author, D. Thomas Lancaster, and principal instructor, Aaron Eby, are here to tell us all about it. – Episode Highlights – The inspiration behind the original creation of the HaYesod discipleship course in the 1990s. HaYesod means “The Foundation” and is a teaching series that lays a solid foundation of faith with a biblical understanding of the land, the people, and the Scriptures of Israel. HaYesod is a tool to equip believers to access the Messianic Jewish understanding of the Scriptures and to know Jesus, the Jewish Messiah, better. What is the benefit of understanding the Scriptures from a Messianic Jewish perspective? Many elements of traditional Christian interpretation of the Bible contain holes that have created instability in the faith of many believers. What changes have been made to the new version of HaYesod compared to older renderings? Why are the people of Israel the foundation of the Bible? The kingdom perspective of the gospel Yeshua taught. HaYesod is not designed to turn Christians into Jews. HaYesod is designed to inspire active discipleship to Jesus. What is distinction theology as a theological structure within HaYesod? Does First Fruits of Zion teach that Gentiles shouldn't keep the Torah? HaYesod is a course consisting of ten video lessons filmed in a studio and on location throughout the land of Israel. An extensive workbook can be purchased to assist the learning process. How can students access the course individually or study as a group? Torah Club is a weekly international Bible study network that is a great way to continue learning after HaYesod: The Foundation. – Related Resources – HaYesod https://ffoz.org/hayesod Torah Club https://ffoz.org/torahclub First Fruits of Zion https://ffoz.org Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine (messiahmagazine.org). This publication is designed to provide rich substance, meaningful Jewish contexts, cultural understanding of the teaching of Jesus, and the background of modern faith from a Messianic Jewish perspective.

    Your neck is like the tower of David, Built with rows of stones On which are hung a thousand shields, All the round shields of the mighty men. (So 4:4) Our working text for the Footsteps of Messiah is the Song of Songs. From the above text, we previously connected the shields of a thousand generations with the offspring of Abraham, the righteous remnant in each generation forming the faithful shield of their generation. These are faithful warriors of the Word. Deuteronomy gives us insight into how Israel is instructed to prepare for war: “When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, is with you. When you are approaching the battle, the priest shall come near and speak to the people. He shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, you are approaching the battle against your enemies today. Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble before them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.' The officers also shall speak to the people, saying, ‘Who is the man that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him depart and return to his house, otherwise he might die in the battle and another man would dedicate it. Who is the man that has planted a vineyard and has not begun to use its fruit? Let him depart and return to his house, otherwise he might die in the battle and another man would begin to use its fruit. And who is the man that is engaged to a woman and has not married her? Let him depart and return to his house, otherwise he might die in the battle and another man would marry her.' Then the officers shall speak further to the people and say, ‘Who is the man that is afraid and fainthearted? Let him depart and return to his house, so that he might not make his brothers' hearts melt like his heart.' When the officers have finished speaking to the people, they shall appoint commanders of armies at the head of the people. When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. If it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you. However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it... (Dt 20:1-12) Before a soldier could go to war, he was required to enjoy the fruit of his labors. A soldier who built, planted, and betrothed without consummating the joy of his labors expected to die in battle, an attitude that would discourage his fellow soldiers. Comfortable shelter, food and drink, and a family relationship are the building blocks of human joy. The feast time of Sukkot teaches this pattern. Every family comes to Jerusalem to commemmorate the Divine provision of food, drink, shelter, and family relationships, including the extended family who will share in the offerings along with strangers, aliens, Levites, and even the kohanim: “There also you and your households shall eat before the LORD your God, and rejoice in all your undertakings in which the LORD your God has blessed you.” (Dt 12:7) “You shall not do at all what we are doing here today, every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes; for you have not as yet come to the resting place and the inheritance which the LORD your God is giving you. When you cross the Jordan and live in the land which the LORD your God is giving you to inherit, and He gives you rest from all your enemies around you so that you live in security, then it shall come about that the place in which the LORD your God will choose for His name to dwell, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the contribution of your hand, and all your choice votive offerings which you will vow to the LORD.

Sukkos is called the Festival of Joy, but what exactly is so joyful about it? The other major holidays are named after their very essences: Passover is the Festival of Our Redemption, and Shavuot is the Festival of the Giving of Our Torah. Whats the deep connection between joy and Sukkot? And how can we understand the mystery of the four plants we shake on Sukkos? If someone unfamiliar with our tradition were to stop you today walking down the street with your four species and say, what are you holding in your hand? You would say: This is my ritual bouquet! Then they ask: What do you do with it? Well, we shake it. Hu? What is more, the Torah states that when you take these four plants, you shall rejoice before your G-d seven days. Why? How does holding on and shaking these four plants generate happiness? Who was the first person to take a fruit from a beautiful tree? Of course, Eve and Adam. What fruit was it? The Midrash says: the Esrog. It would appear that on Sukkos we are repeating the same story: we are again taking the Esrog off the tree, but this time around, we take it, shake it, swing it, but dont eat it. It is almost like G-d is telling us, I want you to do this over again. In the case of Adam and Eve, they were cursed with sadness. This time around we are blessed with joy. Also, after Adam and Eve eat the fruit they feel like they have to hide from G-d. On Sukkos, when we take the fruit, we rejoice in the presence of G-d. What is going on here? The class (based on this wonderful class by Rabbi Ami Silver: https://www.alephbeta.org/playlist/arbaminim) provides us with a deep reflection on how Sukkos and the Four Species can help us calm our nervous system, reorients our brains, change our paradigms, and ease up the tension in our life, by going away from dissociation to connection. The Sukkah is the virtual Garden of Eden, and the four plants allow us to repair what happened millennia ago in the original Garden of Eden, once again reclaiming the joy and ecstasy of life. The story of the raffle that happened in the IDF captures the timeless unity of our people who were chosen to unite the entire world under the sovereignty of Hashem.

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts. The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life. His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU.

This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant—both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life.
