"To those who are without Torah, I become as without Torah, though not being without the Torah of God but under the Torah of Messiah." What is the Torah of Messiah? How can there be a New Torah or different Torah? This teaching from the Second Day of Shavuot draws on the teachings of Lubavitcher Rebbe to unlock the msytery behind Isaiah 51:4, "A Torah will go forth from me" and the New Torah of Messiah, illuminating the meaning of several difficult texts in the apostolic writings and the significance of the New Covenant. 

One good reason everyone should believe that Yeshua is the Messiah is that he never asked us to believe that. What did he ask us to believe? How did he present himself to the world? 

If it's possible to be "born again," is it possible to be "conceived again?" The Apostle Shimon Peter teaches us the difference between perishable seed and imperishable seed. 1 Peter 1:17-25.

A Hanukkah message about the abomination of desolation and "that one time that love saved the world" as an illustration of the potent pwoer of Yeshua's Gospel message of repentance and love at the End of the World. This teaching is a follow-up message to Reason Number 5: Healer of all Israel.

The Talmud says that before God inflicts a wound he creates the cure. Yeshua of Nazareth, the prophet of the second Temple, taught the cure to the wound that the nation was about to undergo. It's all about love.

Yeshua of Nazareth is THE prophet that God sent to warn fo the nation about the destruction of the second Temple. That places him on par with Jereimaih, Isaiah, and Ezekiel and puts him into the status of a verified prophet. 

It's often said that the Jewish people did not recognize the Messiah because they were anticipating a powerful warrior not a gentle teacher. That's not the case. The Messiah is a teacher of Torah and rabbi who leads the nation back to the Torah through repentance. Reason number 3 for believing Yeshua is the Messiah is that he is the rabbi to all Israel.  

What does it mean to be made "in the image and likeness of God"? This teaching explains the difference between "image" and "likeness" and explains how human beings are all made in the image of God but have lost the likeness of God. 

The siddur is not a hymnal; it is a symphony. It has been carefully composed to guide the soul through the unfolding drama of redemption. Far from being a random collection of prayers, the traditional Jewish prayer book is deliberately structured to echo the story of Israel’s salvation and to awaken our longing for its fulfillment. This lecture explores how the rhythms and themes of the siddur prepare us to recognize, desire, and live in the light of redemption.
