There are a number of important elements in parsha “Ki Tavo” (Deuteronomy 26:1 – 29:8) — but it’s probably known for being the most daunting collection of curses in the Bible.

And — again — that puts it, arguably, at the heart of the destruction of Western Civilization.

Is that deserved?

Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, begins to lay out the issue in the Erev Shabbat reading:

The words ‘ki tavo,’ are translated from the Hebrew as “when you have come” – into the land. And those curses certainly apply there. And one of the specific consequences is ‘shalach’ – or being “sent out.” Exiled. And that has happened – to BOTH kingdoms. And it REMAINS the case to this day.

So – do the curses still apply? Or not? And don’t miss the irony in the fact that some who say, “of COURSE not” – because “the law is done away with” – probably should be paying more attention.

NOTE: ‘Curses’ are another one of those topic that tends to upset people. Particularly when they hit close to home, and Mark again pulls no punches. Neither does Scripture, of course.

“Ki Tavo: Most Curses in the Whole Bible – Does it MATTER?”

Mark Call takes a look back at some of the major news stories, and scams, of the week ending 29 August, 2026.

And there are more than a few lessons in there this week, if we’re paying attention…

This show has examined the questions of “WHY?” to ‘come out of her,’ for years, and “HOW?” for almost as long.

The urgency of understanding both has certainly be demonstrated of late, and for quite some time before that by those with ‘eyes to see.’

And the list of REASONS has simply gotten longer. But that has just made certain elements of the WHAT ever more clear. Like the Mark of the Beast, just for one of the Easy Ones.

This week, Mark tackles a tougher issue. One that might even seem depressing, if we didn’t already know Who we serve, and His promises that follow.

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.

Picking up where we left off in the Gospel of John, chapter 15, Rabbi Steve Berkson picks up in verse 16, where he explains that Yeshua has chosen us to be part of His work here on earth. Even though He was speaking directly to His disciples, giving them instruction before He was about to be killed, His words can apply to us today if we allow ourselves to be discipled through His Holy Spirit and produce the fruit He expects to see. All that Rabbi Berkson has unpacked from John 15 is about love for one another in the way the Father expects us to love. We are called and chosen so that we are no longer part of the world and its ways. As we pull away from the world to follow Messiah and live according to Torah, we will experience disdain from others who do not understand Messiah or why we choose to follow Him.

Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

The Torah parsha known by the name “Ki Tetze” (Deuteronomy 21:10 through chapter 25) is – says Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship – arguably THE most NOT-PC portion in the entire Bible.

And that fact alone makes it of vital interest – especially since the reason WHY is at the heart of the destruction of all Western Civilization.

If ‘The Adversary,’ who “comes but to steal, kill, and destroy,” wanted to that – and he does – this is where it seems he started.

The Erev Shabbat reading pretty well lays it out. And just about every line of it makes the point:

The fact that every element of this part of the Word of YHVH is so utterly forbidden – even to talk about honestly, in many cases, but certainly to study for WHAT IT IS, is absolutely telling.

To destroy society, clearly, start with the family. Marriage, and especially fatherhood, the concept of a righteous husband, and certainly, the dreaded ‘patriarchy.’ Then replace His Word, by “adding and subtracting” with perversion. And certainly, destroy anything left of His blessing of a productive economy with “inflation,” i.e., dishonest weights and measures: the debt-based “abomination” (His term!) of a fiat global reserve currency.

The details are all here. They are – and have been – ignored not just to our detriment, but destruction. And it’s STILL ‘verbotten’ to even talk about.

NOTE: For the obvious reasons, be warned. Mark pulls no punches when it matters most. This will, and should, upset even those who aren’t shocked by just how Big the Lie has been.

“Ki Tetze: Why ‘hasatan’ and his minions – including the Whore Church – absolutely HATE this Instruction!”

The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Host Mark Call’s look back at some of the major news of the week, for 22 August, 2026, has a bit different “flavor” this week, because, he suggests, it’s not the individual stories that matter so much at this point – after all, we not only know they’re LYING, on just about every single front – but also that Big Brother really wants you dead.

And as that becomes more and more undeniable, and imminent – it changes how we need to “view the world.” And our own places in it.
