The Rainbow Covenant

Parashat Noach (Genesis 6:9-11:32)

When Noah and his family came out of the ark, God told them to be fruitful and multiply, repopulating the earth.

The Devil Made Me Do It

Parashat B'reisheet (Genesis 1:1-6:8)

Generally, when we study Parshat B’reisheet we focus in on either the days of creation or the Fall of Man.

Parashat Ki Tetze - Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19

Restoring The Lost

Parashat Ki Tetze contains a plethora of laws ranging from managing the spoils of war to sexual immorality to fulfilling vows and oaths. Our focus will be on the responsibility of guarding a lost object. At the beginning of chapter 22 we read:

Signs And Wonders

Parashat Re'eh - Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17

In our day a large number of Yeshua’s followers find affinity with the charismatic movement, particularly among those in the Messianic movement. It seems the reasoning behind this attraction is that they are seeking to recapture the power demonstrated by Yeshua’s earliest followers. After all, Yeshua promised power to his disciples upon their receiving the Holy Spirit after his ascension. He told his disciples:

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you (Acts 1:8)
