Meeting a New Season….

The Why and the How…. A long….long…time ago, in a galaxy far away….oh no – that was something else! However, it was a long, long time ago, and in a distant city, that I first discovered the ancient biblical ways. I have not left that galaxy behind, I am still here…even though sometimes I truly do feel in a galaxy…

Continue the Journey

This meme says a lot in a few words. Going through the journey of retrospection during this month causes us to take a look in the rear-view mirror and wonder…..what if. What if I had done this…or that…or said this…or that? Questions that have no answers. But in looking back, we can also see clearly how each and every decision…

Reflections during Introspection

This is the month of reflection….introspection….decisions. However, this year..this year… it’s a real strange one for me, even though I’ve been going through this journey for almost forty years. After beginning my ‘search for truth’ way back in my days of Catholicism, and then landing in the middle of a ‘back to the beginning’ spiritual movie. But…this year. This year….

During the Month of Teshuvah

During this ‘custom‘ created centuries ago as a way to be ready to approach the fall feast days, given to us by the Creator Himself, every one of us need to bow our knee and search our hearts.

Reading the Megillah year after year feels a bit like being back in primary school. But that’s because the story we learn as a child shouldn’t be the story…

First Fruits

Firstfruits was a Jewish feast held in the early spring at the beginning of the grain harvest. It was observed on Nissan 16, which was the third day after Passover and the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Firstfruits was a time of thanksgiving for God’s provision. Leviticus 23:9-14 institutes the firstfruits offering. The people were to bring…

Unleavened Bread

The Bible tells us that the Israelites were to eat only unleavened bread every year during Passover as a commemoration of the Exodus from Egyptian bondage. Since the children of Israel left Egypt hastily, they did not have time for the bread to rise, so it was made on that very first Passover without leaven, also known as yeast. In…

Passover

Passover Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of Israel’s most sacred and widely observed holidays. The ‘Hagadah’ (the telling of the story) is told during the Seder (meal) and comes straight out of the book of Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. There are a number of  important rituals, including a traditional Passover meal known as a seder, the removal of…
