28 Elul 5776 פרשת נִצָּבִים, כ”ח אלול, תשע”ו This is the last portion before we start our High Holidays which is spiritually charged both positively and negatively for the Jewish people.

Who are we? 21 Elul 5776 כִּי-תָבוֹא, כ”א אלול תשע”ו I have often been asked by Jews and non-Jews “Who are we?” I have battled with this from the first moment I understood that Yeshua was the Messiah. Every religion that descends from the Torah carries within it their own ideas about who their […]
21 Elul 5776 פשרת כִּי-תָבוֹא, כ”א אלול תשע”ו I have often been asked who we are. The answer to this entails the various functions of the Messiah. All the religions that descend from the Torah contain ideas about who he is and what they are expecting the Messiah to be. At the time of Yeshua, […]

30 Av 5776 I have tried over these past many years and am still diligently working on bringing our Messiah Yeshua not only to my own Jewish people but also to the non-Jews. There is a great misunderstanding by both communities about who Yeshua really is. However, if we take the time to closely examine […]
30 Av 5776 פרשת רְאֵה, ל” אב, תשע”ו The greatest gift that our Creator has endowed us with is “bechirah chofshi” – בחירה חופשי – free will. This doesn’t mean that we can do whatever we want rather that with free will comes responsibility. I have been asked why I have been focusing so much […]
