Parsha “Nitzavim” (Deuteronomy 29:8 through chapter 30) — contains what Mark calls the most concise ‘two-word summary’ of His Word in the Torah, “Choose Life!”

But there is SO much more in this one. And, it’s a ‘double-parsha’ this week, which includes chapter 31, “Vayelekh.”

It’s one of the most important, ok fundamental, er central – all of that, but perhaps the best word is ‘concise,’ paraschot in Scripture. And it combines some of the most important ‘debunking’ of Big Lies, and even the first description of one of the most important prophecies, too.

Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, covers all of it in the Erev Shabbat reading:

The concept of “choose life!” is so vital to our understanding of His Instruction [or ‘torah’] that it goes way beyond just a summary, or even a ‘razor’ to “rightly divide the word.”

But there is more to that in this parsha: it goes to the heart of Who the Messiah IS, and what He is NOT (a liar, who changed his word, when He said the opposite)…

Yahushua, the Real Messiah, said that the path that leads to Life is, “narrow, and FEW there be that find it.” [Matthew 7:13-14] Which should concern those who bought into the big lie that He somehow “did away with” what He Wrote for us, and came in the flesh to teach – correctly.

The test is ‘open-Book.’ And it’s straight-forward. But we had better read what it really says.

“Nitzavim-Vayelekh: Choose wisely – ‘Choose Life!’ ”

Host Mark Call reviews not just the ‘major’ news stories of the week, and their significance, but also some of the most twisted, distorted, and outright lied about.

And there’s a pattern…

In spite of the worst efforts of the likes of MicroShaft, and “operating systems” and user-antagonistic ‘tools’ that seem to have as many bugs as they do backdoors – there WAS a Drive Time Friday Show this week.

And there was a lot to talk about as well.

Which, somehow, all fits together, too.

Host Mark Call welcomes back author and film-maker Daniel Holdings for a no-holds-barred discussion of a topic of increasingly vital importance,

Love and Torah – what’s the connection? This study series delves into the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.

In the final episode, Rabbi Steve Berkson explores the 17th chapter of the Gospel according to John. Here, we witness Messiah Yeshua praying to His Father for those He chose and discipled to carry on His mission.

Rabbi Berkson then shifts to Deuteronomy chapter 30. He reveals that Elohim’s plan was to exile His people to other nations due to their disobedience. However, He assured them that they would be regathered and recommit to the commandments, including loving their Elohim.

In Matthew 24, we observe how a lawless generation gradually loses its love for Torah. Be wary of false prophets who claim that Torah is obsolete or that adhering to it will lead to a lawless life. Such individuals may mistakenly believe they have a relationship with Messiah and the Father but ultimately fall short.

Rabbi Berkson concludes the series by referencing Romans 8:28, which emphasizes the connection between love and Torah-keeping. The verse states, “All things work together for the good…”

Rabbi Berkson meticulously dissects these passages, providing you with a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you. By comprehending these expectations, you can fulfill them and reap the blessings that follow.
