The Counting of the Omer The seven-week (49-day) period between Passover and Shavuot is called the Omer. In the days of Ancient Israel the Jewish people would bring a barley offering to the Temple on the day after the Sabbath following Passover during the week of Unleavened Bread. (Leviticus 23:10). This was called the…

Many know that one of the most important activities that is part of the traditional preparation for Passover is the elimination of anything that has leaven in it (Hebrew: hametz)… but why is this so important? LEAVEN What is it and how do we keep the feast of unleavened bread? What is it we should be…
When it comes to God’s instructions on how to draw near to Him by being undefiled in our life we know that God is continually bringing us to live more sanctified and holy in our life (not less) and to be more purified as a bride without spot or blemish prepared to meet the bridegroom when he comes. Since God does not change and he has instructed us that eating unclean foods is not only defiling but also an abomination to him (Lev. 11), we cannot surmise that the revelation given to Peter is going to undermine God’s word which is established forever.

I originally wrote this article when I was in Ireland reaching out to the descendants of Israel there and having found new evidence to support that Patrick was not Catholic but a Torah observant believer!

Hashem’s 13 attributes of Mercy are great to meditate on and it is said that Yeshua reflected them perfectly. The Thirteen Attributes of Mercy (י״ג מִידּוֹת) or Shelosh-‘Esreh Middot HaRakhamim (transliterated from the Hebrew: שְׁלוֹשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה מִידּוֹת הַרַחֲמִים) as enumerated in the Book of Exodus (Exodus 34:6–7) in Parasha Ki Tissa are the Divine Attributes with…
God is Omniscient (all knowing), Omnipresent (everywhere at all times as He is Spirit) and Omnipotent (all powerful and unable to die)… Yeshua is not omniscient, omnipotent, nor omnipresent. Yeshua is a man and referred to himself as a “son of man”.
From the linen colored k’laf/parchment on which the Torah scroll is written representing the linen garments and purity of the Priest, to the hair or sinew with which the panels of parchment are sewn together representing the intercessory nature of the priest in unity with Israel, to even the kosher quill pen with which the text is written which comes from a clean bird representing how Hashem want to cover us with His wings (Ps. 91:4) and desires to write upon our heart his Torah (Jer. 31:31)… everything represents the deep symbolism with which God instructed the High Priest to dress!
