Join Rabbi Damian in this passionate message about restoring, rededicating, and rebuilding Messianic Judaism from the inside out in the spirit of the Maccabees of the Hanukkah season.

Sometimes the biblical calendar can be confusing. Sometimes we wonder why it's set up the way it is. Rest assured, however, Hashem knows what He is doing.

Judaism makes quite the deal about repentance leading up to and during the High Holidays. Hasn't Yeshua taken care of all of that for us in the Messianic community? Why should we waste our time saying penitent prayers and asking for forgiveness when we have received merit through the atonement of Yeshua? If you have these same questions, Rabbi Damian brings it home with a close examination of John 5 and the healing of the lame man and what may truly be taking place during this auspicious season, particular on Shabbat Shuvah, the Sabbath between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
