We recommend listening to the teaching, The Teachings of Yeshua | Part 3, before listening to this episode.

Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect.” Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. 

This effect could occur spiritually after Rabbi Berkson's intense weekly teachings. This Afterburn Q&A session lets your mind and soul absorb more understanding (oxygen).

Rabbi Berkson begins with the disclaimer, “This teaching is about what Yeshua taught, not what He did.” He also claims that Yeshua didn’t teach Torah because His audience, the Jews, already knew it. Yeshua came with a specific message for a particular group of people, the Lost Sheep.

The Teachings of Yeshua | Part 3
• Did Yeshua teach “grace”?
• Intro/Review
• You are salt and light (Matt 5:13-16)

This week's Parsha is Bereishit, Genesis 1:1 - 6:8.

In the Bible’s sacred texts, thankfulness recurs as a theme that resonates deeply with believers. It is a virtue that goes beyond mere words of gratitude, encompassing a profound acknowledgment of God's sovereignty, provision, and faithfulness. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, Scripture abounds with examples of individuals and communities expressing gratitude to the Almighty.

The biblical concept of thankfulness goes beyond mere appreciation for temporal blessings; it embodies a posture of humility, worship, and trust in God's unfailing goodness. Whether in times of abundance or adversity, believers are called to cultivate gratitude, recognizing that every good gift comes from above. As we reflect on the countless blessings bestowed upon us, may our hearts overflow with thanksgiving, glorifying the One who is worthy of all praise.

• 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 – This is Yah’s desire
• Colossians 3:15 – Whatever you do in word or deed
• Psalm 69:29 – Make Him great with thanksgiving
• 1 Chronicles 16 – King David’s prayer of thanksgiving
• Why don’t we give thanks?
• Things that negatively affect our ability to be thankful
• Being excited to give thanks
• Pray for the peace of Jerusalem?
• Wrapping it up

Midrash Only
Ha'azinu/V'zot Habracha | Deuteronomy 32:1 - 34:12 | MTOI Torah Study

What Reality Have You Created? Yom Teruah/Rosh Chodesh Message

Rabbi Steve Berkson discusses the concept of subjective reality and how it can lead to defensiveness and misunderstandings. He emphasizes the importance of embracing objective truth, particularly when it comes to understanding the intentions of authority figures, especially  Yahweh, who want what is best for us.

• If Yahweh changes, what can we trust?

• Are you making progress?

• Aware that there’s something to hear

• Are you able to receive what you’ve heard?

• Did you accept what you heard and received?

• Did you embrace it?

• Abba wants the best for us

• Who are you hearing? How do you see them?

• The big mountain of small

• Living in actual reality 

• We’ve been given two main relationships 

• Q&A - The map is not the place

• Q&A - Lacking gratitude?

• Q&A - This is not an ego problem…

• Q&A - Building walls

• Q&A - Reversing the roles of perpetrators and victims 

• Q&A - Objective or subjective views

• Q&A - How do I deal with someone who lives in…?

• Q&A - How do I overcome this restlessness?

• Q&A - Is this the ONLY reality?
