Do Liver and Kidneys Please Yahweh?
VaYiqra or “And He Called” can be a difficult lesson to understand. It’s all about sacrifices; a topic that seems to be more suited for pagan gods and rituals, not for a God who claims to be a loving God. But here it is in Leviticus 1-6. YHWH calls to Moses and defines a sacrificial…
Assemble a House for YHVH?
The study of VaYak’hel follows the story of Israel turning their backs on YHWH and worshipping another god—the “golden calf” of Egypt called apis.

When You Elevate
What do we elevate in our lives? The meaning of elevate can take on the action of uplifting, promoting, or to raise. With this mind, do we give people, ideas, or traditions a priority over spiritual insight? In this week’s Torah study of Ki Tisa, we can easily see the account of Israel uplifting a…
Are You Called to be a Priest?
The Torah passages describing Tabernacle proceedings for the priests are full of details. Why?
