News and commentary for Monday, 17 November, 2025.

Love and Torah—what’s love got to do with it? This series explores the “Two Great Commands’: loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor.

What does John 15 reveal about Yah’s kingdom structure?

How does John 15 connect to Genesis 1’s creation account?

What was the first instruction given to humanity?

When Yeshua told His disciples to keep His commands, which ones did He mean?

Did Messiah add to Torah?

In John 15:15, Yeshua told His disciples they are no longer servants but friends. What is the difference between a servant and a friend? How do we define ‘friend’? Since Messiah said this to His disciples, how does it apply to us today?

Rabbi Berkson carefully analyzes these passages again to help you better understand what Yah expects of you—so you can do it and receive His blessings.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha “Chayei Sarah,” Genesis 23:1-25:18)…

The Erev Shabbat parsha reading begins with two of the most important precedent stories of original principles that form the very backbone of English Common Law. First, Abraham buys the first plot of land recorded for all time in human history, and outlines the elements of ‘Contract.’ And immediately after that, Scripture show not only what “agency” is, or what it really means to “come in the Name of” a Master, but even what a “good and faithful servant” looks like:

Mark takes a different approach to the Sabbath Day midrash this time. Since the principles are literally ancient, and so clearly formed the basis for the Common Law in England, and then were understood, likewise, by the Founders in the united States as the basis for the most fundamental elements of the Constitution — why are they no longer even taught? Why do the lawyers liars in the DC Swamp evidently disregard their contracts, their duties as supposed servants of THEIR masters, the American people, and even their oaths?

And that lack of trust – based on failure – now pervades virtually every institution.

We see where it has led.

But there is more to this story, in particular. Abraham, while he was literally blessed in “all things,” and live a long life, ‘full of days,’ and is literally regarded as the Father of our Faith, did not see the fulfillment of the primary promises YHVH gave him. He was told they would spend time in ‘bondage,’ but did not see them multiply as the stars in the heavens. And the only land he actually owned during his own life was that burial ground. And yet he KNEW, and saw – just as clearly as he saw the Son of Promise – that those promises would come to pass.

So do we. But from a different perspective, that of knowing all of this has been reserved, put in place, and, yes, done, for us.

Which gives us an obligation. Because ALL of these fundamental principles that underlie ALL of society, are based on Trust. In ourselves, to obey, in others, to do as they agree, and in Yahuah, to carry out His will, “on earth, as it is in heaven.”

As a world which has failed to honor that promise falls apart, the Remnant MUST keep it.

The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

David Justice and Mark Call discuss the major news of the week and some of the history behind it.

News and commentary from host Mark Call, on the week where the Schumer Shutdown allegedly ended, but the continued Deep State treason against the Republic certainly did not – and it still isn’t even being prosecuted! – for the week ending 15 November, 2025.

The Schumer Shutdown seems to be over, although a repeat sausage-fest is guaranteed to be on-deck shortly after the can kick. Elections in the cesspool cities still look rigged, but at minimum suggest the ‘dumbing down’ in some areas may be terminal. And, while some of the facts about the greatest conspiracy to commit treason and destroy the Republic in history continues to emerge, there has yet to be a single arrest, much less prosecution, of the obvious perps.

Complacency should be behind us. And, as host Mark Call suggests, if we haven’t yet realized the serious nature of ‘the times and the seasons,’ we had better make a ‘mid-course correction.’
