  • 24_Vayikra (5 of 5): Fat Choices

    ZARABEN.ORG presents Torah teaching number 24 “Vayikra,” RC JedidiYah explains that those called by YHVH’s Name, which is the Torah, must approach Him with voluntary desire, joy, and a complete offering of the self, not empty-handed. He discusses the various offerings (fine flour with salt, first-fruits and others) and the idea that making peace requires completeness, including removing “the fat” as an inward circumcision of the heart—giving up coverings, excuses, and desires. JedidiYah emphasizes that sin—intentional or unintentional—requires acknowledging guilt, confessing, and making restitution rather than repeatedly saying “sorry” without change. YHVH always provides a way back but the demand is costly because it requires  permanent change, which is full submission to His will.

  • 24_Vayikra (4 of 5): Sin and Peace

    ZARABEN.ORG continues with Torah teaching number 24 on Leviticus, explaining that those who keep the Torah are the Ones called by His Name. Covenant-based worship requires what is clean, whole, and processed, symbolized by crushed salt. RC JedidiYah focuses on the Peace offering defining shalam which means wholeness, restoration, repayment, and emphasizes that any offering must be the best and must include the fat (cheleb) and one must remove the fat from their inward parts just as a “circumcision” requires. JedidiYah explains that even unintentional sin (chatta), requires full accountability with no excuses. One must remove the fat just like the peace offering, and the process leading to atonement and forgiveness is obtained through permanent change.

  • 24_Vayikra (3 of 5): Dripped In Butter

    ZARABEN.ORG continues Torah Teaching 24 (Vayikra/Leviticus), explaining that “approaching” (qarab) is distinct from sacrifice and that acceptable offerings require voluntary submission, right desire, and being whole/clean (tamim). Every offering must include crushed salt representing the covenant and the “crushing” process; without covenant “salt,” the offering is rejected. RC JedidiYah apologizes to those hurt by institutions, urges covenant obedience, and explains giving is worship when tied to submission to YHVH.

  • 24_Vayikra (2 of 5): The Approach Matters

    ZARABEN.ORG Studios introduces a Torah teaching on Vayikra (Leviticus), focusing on “the called” and the power of names, revealing that YHVH’s name is synonymous with Torah and that the only way to draw near is through His instructions. RC JedidiYah explains the Hebrew terms “qarab” and “korban” as approaching and bringing a present, emphasizing that the sacrificial system is primarily about obedience, attitude, and a broken, submitted heart rather than blood itself. Using the burnt offering (olah), he teaches that approaching requires a costly, voluntary, joyful offering that is whole (tamim), without blemish, and not given begrudgingly or with compromise. JedidiYah outlines the offering procedures, highlighting personal responsibility in the process and the “washing” of the inward parts as Torah’s cleansing work, concluding that true approach to YHVH demands total submission.

  • 24_Vayikra (1 of 5): Must Be Processed

    This Torah teaching from ZARABEN.ORG Studios teaches that the Moedims (Appointed Times) are the gateway and urges orienting one’s life to YHVH’s appointed times; contrasting Torah observance with common holidays. The sun, moon, and stars are covenant witnesses and models of obedience, and by contrast disobedience brings chaos. The book of Vayikra which means those who are “called” shifts into a deeper understanding, accountability, and identity. Those called by YHVH’s name must undergo a refining process which requires submission, sacrifice, being crushed and tested for faithfulness.

  • 23_PKudei: (1of 2) Master Copy

    ZARABEN.ORG Studios, presents Torah teaching “PKudei” RC JedidiYah explains the Hebrew root “paqad” which means to visit, attend to, muster, count. JedidiYah explains and correlates it to the tabernacle inventory as a layered Torah message about who is truly “numbered.” He emphasizes that what is counted is everything made exactly according to YHVH’s instructions—from veils and coverings to utensils—and that the Torah should not be read superficially. Linking the timing of this final teaching in Exodus to the New Year (Rosh Hashanah/Rosh Chodesh) and the cycle leading into Passover. JedidiYah warns against treating Shabbat and the appointed times as ordinary, citing a scriptural warning of death for making Shabbat common. The Torah reveals that “paqad” includes being visited with either friendly or hostile intent, framing YHVH as terrifying. and an “all-consuming fire.” The Torah reveals that those YHVH  loves are tested, broken, emptied, and purified—sometimes involving loss of relationships, possessions, and even family—in order to submit and be rebuilt. JedidiYah warns repetition without attention can lead to alteration and perversion, urging constant resetting to the “Master’s copy(Torah).”
