Eve’s Curse and the Gaza Dilemma
Like most rabbis, or for that matter, like most Jewish people around the world, I have been asked many questions over the past few months as people try to understand the current war in Israel (Please remember that the Gaza Strip is still within the borders of Israel). Some have asked me about the history …

You Choose: Eternal Promise or Temporary Pleasure?
Have you ever heard someone say something and thought to yourself, “I must have heard them wrong because they could not possibly have said what I heard.” I believe there are times in the Bible when something is said and the hearer has that exact feeling. I am going to share three of them, but …

Comparing the War in Israel to a Jewish Wedding
Over the past few weeks, I, like many other Jewish people, have been asked by our non-Jewish friends how we are doing. At first, I struggled for an answer to that question as I watched the news of the atrocities Hamas terrorists committed against my people, which was then followed by marches and speeches by …

Is This Is Really the End of the World?
Since the start of the most recent war in Israel, it seems as if one question is on the minds of many people. I have been asked over and over: “Do you think this is the end?” I have read the Bible, books by modern day prophets, and of course, posts by social media prophets …

Unveiling the Difference Between Ministry and Calling
Recently, I attended a worship service and the topic of the message was “G-D’s Calling Upon the Life of Believers.” The speaker to the congregation began boldly and encouragingly by reminding them that Isaiah was called to be a prophet to Judah, Jonah was called to prophesy to Nineveh, Peter was called to go to …

People Are Dying of Starvation Sitting at Believers’ Tables
The first time I heard the statement “garbage in, garbage out,” I was in middle school and my health class teacher was talking to us about junk food in our diets. His point was if you fill something with garbage, then you can only expect garbage to come out. While I haven’t always applied this …

Are You Prepared for the Chaos and Darkness That Are Coming?
A little over a week ago, terrorists attacked Israel, killing thousands of men, women and children. For many of us, those actions not only broke our hearts, but also rocked our foundations a little. The barbaric actions were overwhelming even to the strongest people of faith. Standing alone, the atrocities we saw and read about …

A Reminder for Believers: The Church is Not Israel
Since the beginning of the recent war started by Hamas against Israel, I have been blessed to see so many believers in Yeshua (Jesus) rise up to pray for and encourage Israel as she fights against her adversaries. However, I also saw many people who proclaim to believe in Yeshua repeating the anti-Semitic tropes of …

Messianic Rabbi: No, We Do Not Need to Live in a Sukkah
Every Autumn, people around the world gather materials together and build sukkot, or tabernacles in their yards. The brave ones actually sleep in their sukkah under the stars exposed to the elements, while the less adventurous only eat their meals while sitting inside their booth. Those who build these simple shacks with see-through roofs that …

What if an Entire Congregation Came to the Altar to Humbly Repent?
I stood in synagogue on Yom Kippur this week and recited prayers of repentance along with our entire congregation. I joined in praying the A1 chet (For the sin of…) and I beat my chest while asking for forgiveness as each sin was spoken aloud. Afterwards, I listened to a message about repentance which included …

Are They Laughing with Us or At Us?
I remember many years ago, when I was in fifth grade in elementary school, I thought of myself as a class clown, always telling jokes and acting up in class. One day, after I had been extra distracting, my teacher asked me to stay after class so she could talk to me. I thought she …

Messianic Rabbi: The Real Reason I Celebrate the Day of Trumpets
Every year at this time, a well-meaning Christian friend will ask me, “Why do you still celebrate the Feast of Trumpets?” I know that they are not saying this to be offensive, or to be attacking my faith. These friends know that I am a Messianic Jew and, as such, I believe that Yeshua is …

What is Keeping Believers from Seeing the Latter Rain?
Like most students of the Bible, I believe that we are in the last days. We only have to look around to see the prophetic events coming to pass before our eyes. There are many things which are prophesied to take place: wars, disease, famine, pestilence, earthquakes and tsunamis—and we are seeing all of these …

Should You Send Your Child to Nineveh?
While recently speaking with some parents about education for their children, we began to discuss the three main options available today: homeschooling, private schooling and public schooling. As the conversation went on, one of the parents made the statement that they felt led to send their child to public school because, if all of the …

The Biblical Significance of the Redemption of Melchizedek
I know what I am writing today is controversial, and I want each reader to know that after you read this complete article, you still may not agree with me. But, I honestly hope that you will. The mysterious figure, Melchizedek (Malki-Tzedik in Hebrew), is mentioned in only three places in the entire Bible: in …
