Weekly Torah Commentaries episodes:

October 07, 2022 Ha’azinu: Give Ear to the Future
Shabbat Shuvah has passed for this year. All Israel has listened to the
final note of the shofar at the Neilah, the Closing of the Gates at the
last Yom Kippur service. Life continues.

September 29, 2022 Days of Awe and Reconciliation
During these Days of Awe, we have the opportunity to reach out to those we
have offended, and even to those who have offended us, to offer an attitude
of shalom that recognizes our differences while at the same time
recognizing that spark of the Creator that is in each one of us.

September 21, 2022 Crossing Over into Our Covenant
In Moses’ final discourses, he makes it clear that entering the land God
has chosen, by crossing over from Moab, is equated with entering into our
covenant with God. We can’t fully grasp our purpose as a people unless we
understand the decisive connection between God, the people of Israel and
the Land of Israel.

September 14, 2022 Distraction-Fasting, Monotasking Hesed-Casting
As a well-worn saying goes, it’s the preacher’s job to comfort the
afflicted and afflict the comfortable. They’re both challenging tasks,
which is why Jewish tradition devotes, not just a day or two, but a whole
season to affliction and comfort.

September 08, 2022 Building the World with Love, One Nest at a Time
The commandments are for our benefit; in a sense, they are one aspect of
God’s ḥesed toward us. The sages of the Talmud contend that this is a model
for us: we imitate God by showing ḥesed to those around us, and even to the
natural world.

August 31, 2022 Creating a Favoritism-Free Zone
I long for the day when “Messianic Jewish” is not a religious brand, but a
description of the values of our community, values that reflect the
presence of Messiah among us. This week’s parasha opens with a foundational
text for creating this sort of community.

August 25, 2022 Two Ways Lie Before Us
In our parasha this week, Re’eh, we are faced with a shot over the bow.
While life and death will be set before Israel at length at the end of
Deuteronomy, here the choice is presented earlier, and more succinctly.

August 18, 2022 The Circumcised Heart in Action
A circumcised heart enables us to follow God in ways we might have
previously not thought possible. Through it we can love God and love
others, even the outsider, with everything we have.

August 11, 2022 A Measure of Comfort
This week, as I looked back to the opening words of the haftarah portion,
did I truly understand what it means to find comfort in the presence of
God? How does that prophetic word penetrate our world, fractured,
conflicted, and now in constant turmoil?

August 02, 2022 A Covenant of Gratitude
The Exodus was historical and the Seder forces it to be experiential.
Yeshua’s life was historical. Yet, when we follow him, it becomes
experiential and transformational. Each generation is called to be the
Joshua generation that enters the promises of God and showcases gratitude
for God’s salvation by living out a life that reveals his character.
