Did Yeshua deal with the connection between sin and disease?  What did He say would happen if a person whom He healed of a disease caused by sin continued in that sin? What has God given us to enable us to deal with the temptations to sin all around us?  What is G-d's glory and how did Yeshua reveal G-d's glory? Rabbi Jim answers these questions and more in this teaching given on April 29, 2023, the 8th day of Iyar, 5783.  To learn more about or from Congregation Shema Yisrael visit our Facebook page or website at www.shemayisrael.org To listen to the audio file CLICK HERE To watch this video on YouTube CLICK HERE

Understanding These 7 Things by Rabbi Jim Appel

 The broken heart... What is it?  How does it happen?  What are the effects? Can it be healed?  AND DO I HAVE ONE? In looking back at my own journey and hearing the journeys of thousands of others, I have come to the conclusion that many people are indeed dealing with a broken heart day in and day out and don't even know it. How can so many be dealing with the effects of a broken heart and not even know it?  Well, I don't think I have the complete answer, but I do think I know a big component.

Restoring the Broken Heart by Rabbi David Levitt

Do you need healing from a chronic, incurable disease? Have you tried doctors, medications, natural remedies, and chiropractors and still not been healed? Did you know the Bible says there are spiritual causes or roots of many incurable diseases? Are you aware this Biblical understanding has been used to bring healing to thousands and can bring healing to you too? Rabbi Jim answers these questions and more in this teaching given on April 15, 2023, the 24th day of Nissan, 5783.

Uncovering Spiritual Roots in Scripture by Rabbi Jim Appel

As believers in Yeshua, we know our great hope is not founded on anything in this life, but in the first resurrection to come for all those that have repented and put their trust in Yeshua for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life. But we still struggle... We struggle with life circumstances and situations, we are still subjected to the curse of sin through Adam, and one may wonder what this hope we have for the future is able to do for us now. Join Rabbi David Levitt as he breaks down some key Scriptures written by Paul that explain how to keep the hope of the resurrection at the forefront of all we do, and how this hope will give us the ability to rise above present sufferings and trials and bring newness and healing to our bodies and relationships.
