A final reminder – I have gone ahead and posted these in the interest of getting them online prior to shabbat so people will have time to copy or print them. But there is something wrong with WordPress. Always previously I have been able to cut and paste Word documents with no difficulty, but for [...]

Luke 20:27-22:30
Luk 20:27 Some of the Tzedukim came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
This would be primarily the Sadducees. They did not at this time accept the book of Daniel as canon. The Hebrew [...]
Haftarah Kedoshim 1
04/30/2009I don’t know what’s the matter with WordPress, but suddenly it is refusing to cut and past word documents properly. It has stripped out all the color coded references and insists on numbering paragraphs that are not supposed to be numbered. In the interest of getting these posts out before Shabbat, I’m just going to [...]

Ephesians 5 & 6
Recall the Introduction to Ephesians (and all the Pauline Epistles).
Ephesians, continued:
Eph 5:1 Be therefore imitators of Elohim, as beloved children.
And how do we do this?
Lev 11:45 For I am YHWH who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your [...]

John 5:22-47
Joh 5:22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
Joh 5:23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.
As we see clearly from the [...]

Luke 18:18-20:26
Luk 18:18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
Luk 18:19 Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one–Elohim.
Luk 18:20 You know the mitzvot: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false [...]

Ezekiel:
Eze 22:1 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Eze 22:2 You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
This is the first responsibility of a prophet: to call [...]

Seventh of Assembly
Tonight (Thursday April 16) and tomorrow (Friday April 17) is Shevi’i Atzeret, the Seventh of Assembly, which is the last day of Chag HaMatzot (Feast of Unleavened Bread). The Torah designates this a holy day on which no work may be done. It is also a day of “assembly,” as [...]

If you haven’t read the intro for Ephesians from Kollel Tazria, please do so.

John 5:1-23
Joh 5:1 After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.
There is no way that the real John would have described this as a “Jewish festival.” They are Elohim’s festivals, the appointed times of YHWH Tzeva’ot. The writers of the “Gospel of John,” recall, were 2nd [...]

II Kings 7:3-20
The context here is a seige. This passage was selected as the Haftarah reading simply because it involves lepers who were unclean and outside the city gates as they were supposed to be.
Kings, continued:
2Ki 7:3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they [...]

Ephesians 1 & 2
We must always remember the warning of Peter when we start a new Pauline epistle – that false teachers distort Shaul’s words to make it appear he was teaching Torahlessness.
2Pe 3:15 Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Sha’ul also, according to [...]
