What would you do if your tribe got no land? How do you survive with no property and no means to produce any food? What if your only inheritance was… God Himself? What does it mean that the Lord is our portion, our cup, our eternal inheritance? This week we’ll explore how the Levites’ “loss” was actually their greatest gain—an inheritance incorrupt…

What are you building? There is only one foundation on which we build, namely Yeshua the Messiah. Every work will be tested in the Day of Judgment, and every work that endures will produce a reward. As co-laborers with Messiah, we put to death the deeds of our own flesh, walking in the Ruach Elohim, and we build the dwelling place of HaShem with li…

Rabbi David’s Pizza is open for business—where the motto is: “Man does not live on bread alone… but also sauce and some cheese.” From manna in the wilderness to pizza in the promised land, this week’s message reframes the desert: not as the kvetching years, but as the training ground for trust. Join us as we discover why bread isn’t enough—and how …

This week we had one of the fathers of the messianic Jewish movement, Rabbi Dan Juster, share with us some beautiful encouragements. Tune in for reminders about the reality of the Ruach, the remaining distinction between Jews and Gentiles, and the identity of Yeshua as One with the God of Israel.By Rabbi David Wein

This Shabbat, journey with us through Parashat Mattot-Massei as we explore the questions: Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? In a portion that at first glance seems like just a list of ancient place names, we uncover something: each stop along Israel’s wilderness journey tells a story—of struggle, lessons learned, deliverance, …

What does it mean to go against the current—to stand for truth when lies are popular, to choose humility when culture celebrates pride, and to pass down blessing even when we’ve inherited brokenness? Listen to Psalm 49—written by the sons of Korach, the very ones who refused to repeat their father’s mistakes. It’s never too late to turn the ship ar…

How do we trust our Heavenly Father, even when things go badly? Even if we die, He has a plan to vindicate His own reputation: you must become a disciple of Yeshua, who said, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, his mother, his wife, his children, his brothers and his sisters, yes, and his own life besides, he cannot be my talmid (d…

In Luke 15, some of the Pharisees are criticizing Yeshua for eating with sinners. He responds with a story. If you have 100 sheep, and only 99 are with you, you are not complete as a shepherd. Like a woman would count her coins to make sure she had all ten, so too God counts us. And so we too should look around our table and say, “Who is missing he…

Hello, welcome to Whatsa Manna For You? voted most consistent menu by Hebrew Happenings. This week's parsha has no manna, but it does have the omer. This is kind of cool, because the parsha describes the counting of the omer leading up to Shavuot that we are doing right now in this season. Wanna know more about the Manna?! Listen to this week's ser…

Real worship is more than just a song, or a dance or any musical instruments, though all these things play a vital role in worship, real worship can best be understood as bringing your offerings, from your heart and from your soul into the presence of the Lord.

Has this ever happened to you? “Oh no, I got a paper cut! Blood is coming out of my finger. Well, guess I’ll go visit the Holy Tabernacle and/or Temple.” But the priest says, “No way, Moshe!” Tired of not knowing how and when to approach a holy God? Well, have we got a book for you! Try Leviticus! That’s right, the Bible’s ultimate guide to holines…

A dad is driving and two brothers are in the back. And they’re poking and bothering each other. What are his possible words of discipline that he can say? He can say, “Don’t make me turn this car around.” He can say “Don’t make me separate you,” that is if he has access to the new invisible force fields that are available for backseats. Or finally …

What do a seder in Senegal, a table in Jerusalem, and a heavenly banquet have in common? This Shabbat HaGadol, Rabbi David shared a message called The Four Questions and the Four Seders—a journey through Passover meals that call us to remember, to reach out, and to respond to Yeshua’s invitation. Come prepare your heart for the season of redemption…

Question 1: Would you give someone a birthday cake that you took a huge piece out of? Probably not. Rather, you’d give them a cake that was “tamim.” Question 2: What did Noah, Abraham, and Job all have in common? They were all described by the Hebrew word, “Tamim” meaning whole-hearted, complete, or blameless. Question 3: How can we be more “tamim”…

Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made; were ev’ry stalk on earth a quill, and ev’ryone a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky. --Frederick Lehman This week we heard from our visiting speaker, Michael Temple…

Are you ready? Is that what you’re gonna wear? This week we see how God has clothed His people throughout Scripture. From the garments of skin given to Adam and Eve in Genesis, to the veil Moses wore after encountering God on Mount Sinai, to Esther’s royal robes, each piece of clothing symbolizes a deeper calling and identity in God. So, consider w…

The epistle of Y’hudah (Jude) verse 3 exhorts us: “Dear friends, I was busily at work writing to you about the salvation we share, when I found it necessary to write, urging you to keep contending earnestly for the faith which was once and for all passed on to God’s people.” That faith includes the history of the God of Israel and His people as wel…

In the wake of unimaginable personal loss, Haratio Spafford wrote the well known hymn: "It Is Well with My Soul.” Spafford's story, marked by grief and tragedy, invites us to explore how we can find shalom amidst life's deepest sorrows. Drawing on Scripture, including the rabbinic idea of God’s Shekinah (abiding presence), we discover two enduring …

Just like a toddler develops a will that we must guide and understand, we too face a process of learning to follow God’s Torah, even when we don’t fully grasp its meaning right away. We say: "Na'aseh, v'nishma" – "We will do, and we will hear, or understand" – as Israel committed to obeying God’s commandments perhaps before fully understanding them…

The Lord is on a mission to answer all our questions, to rescue us, and to wipe every tear from our eyes. God is the one who writes the end of our stories, and the end of our stories is not death, but Resurrection. Now that is good news. The question is: what day are we on? There were three days between the death of Yeshua and the raising to life o…

In this week’s sermon, "The Shopping Spree of the Lord," we explore the profound concept of God’s acquisitions or purchases throughout Scripture, with the Hebrew word "kana" serving as the anchor word. Through the powerful imagery of God's acquiring the people of Israel, the land of Israel, the Torah, and the Temple, we reflect on our own relations…

This week we had Reverend Louis Williams from Into the Neighborhood, a local ministry seeking to mobilize prepared people to live out God’s mission for their lives and reclaim, restore and rebuild the landscape of their community. This week, Rev. Louis shared with us on how to trust in the Lord and be anxious for nothing, a great reminder for all o…

In this week's sermon from Parashat Shemot, we are reminded that God intimately knows our pain and struggles. Like the "Undercover Boss" who humbles himself to understand the burdens of his employees, God has lowered Himself to walk with us in our suffering, sharing in our afflictions. He is not distant, but deeply acquainted with our every hurt, o…

In this week's sermon, we delve into the profound tradition of the ethical will—an inheritance of wisdom, values, and life lessons passed down through the generations. Through the words of Jacob and King David, we see how both patriarchs, near the end of their lives, share their deepest insights and blessings with their children, laying the foundat…

The Scriptures describe an ideal Shepherd, a descendant of King David. And as we read through these descriptions, it’s as if a painting begins to take shape, a picture of an ideal shepherd. First, just the edges, and then it fills in as we read from Genesis onward. And the purpose of this broad painting over many different books in the Bible is so …

“This is Heavy, Doc.” In the movie, “Back to the Future,” made in 1985, this is the catchphrase of Marty Mcfly. When Marty says, “This is heavy” he means that something is awesome and beyond understanding. With a movie about time travel, it happens a lot. But I believe I found the word that Marty Mcfly would have used, had he spoke Hebrew: “Kavod.”…

It was a solemn and meaningful Yom Kippur service at Temple Beth Israel. The rabbi began his sermon with this sobering reminder, “Everyone in this congregation is going to die some day.” From the back there was a short laugh. The rabbi continued, “As I was saying, no one is exempt. The president of the synagogue, the cantor, everyone in this commun…
