Psalm 50: 14

Here's an idea for this coming Thursday's Thanksgiving time. You're around the table, either for lunch or dinner. Your guests are there, and who knows what they will want to talk about. But YOU are the host. You get to pick the "table topic." When everyone has had their share of roast...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY? or HAPPY TURKEY DAY? As we approach one of our favorite times to celebrate with family, friends, and in-laws, we think about this special time called "Thanksgiving." Yet we hear of some calling it "Turkey Day". So which is it? "Thanksgiving" or "Turkey Day?"...

THE RABBI’S THANKSGIVING INVITATION (A Short Tale for the Season) Rabbi Jacob Groshen left his humble house on West 3rd Street. He had accepted a Thanksgiving dinner invitation from the Smith family just a few streets up. He had never met the Smiths, but old pastor Williams from First...

1 KINGS 1:1-31 This tells the sad story of a father who failed to discipline his sons, and old King David reaped the whirlwind. Adonijah (which means YHVH is my master), if it were so, He would have been in subjection to his father David, had the nerve to proclaim himself king, even...

Hello Me_Clay, Thank you for your question. We just know that Sarah died, and that Abraham laid her to rest in the tomb of Machpelah, which is in Hebron today. The cause of death is unknown, probably just old age. There is no mention of a lack of faith. Now, Hebraic and Rabbinic...

PARASHAH: “Chayei Sarah” (Sarah lives) GENESIS 23:1-25:18 The title of the Parashah or Torah portion is “Sarah lives” or “Sarah lived”. Yet Sarah is dead, so how does she live? She lives on in the memory of Abraham; her legacy lives on, her influence lives on, and this is what the...

“Nay,” responded the rabbi, “I am letting experience speak for itself, for I have walked these paths for years. Let age and wisdom be your guide. Take heed and make the right choice.” “We will take the shorter route as usual.” Spoke Mendel. “Yes,” added Motel, “The shortcut is the fastest way...

THE SHORT ROUTE OR THE LONG ROUTE? (A Tale From Eastern Europe) Mendel and Motel lived with their wives in a small town near the great city of Lodz. They were next-door neighbors and got along splendidly. Although they had no children, they still loved their wives despite their barren wombs...

HAVING A WING-NUT SNACK (a memory from long ago) Well, this was probably in 1955 or 1956, when I was 1 or 2 years of age. There I was on the front lawn of our house in Elmhurst, N.Y. I mean, Mom was probably in the kitchen or someplace else in the house. She put me out there to enjoy...

2 KINGS 4:1-37 Here, Elisha Ha Navi (the Prophet) ministers to a Shunamite woman, as some prophets had a public ministry, Elisha had more of a private ministry, ministering to individuals more than to the general public as a whole. Yeshua did both; he ministered to the sick, the hurting...

Amen, I also learned lessons from a wasp. Dad told me to stay away from the wasp nest hanging from the tree in the backyard. I got too close, and a wasp came after me and got me on the leg. Ouch! I screamed and jumped up and down. "Told ya Jimmy," my dad said. But later that night, we went...

In the book of Enoch, we know that Enoch warned the giants of impending judgment. In Noah’s case, the Torah is silent. We do see that Abraham pleads for the innocent people in Sodom. We know that there were probably infants and very young kids who were innocent. Sad to say that they, too...

“VaYERA” (and he appeared) GENESIS 18:1-22:24 YHVH appears to Abraham at his tent, yet it also says that “three” men appeared to him. He addresses them as LORD (YHVH), how is that? One can only wonder. Could one of them be YHVH incarnate and the other two ministering angels? We...

BILLY THE BULLY (a short story from life's experience) Well, what can I say? This goes way back to the early 1960s, when I lived in Chappaqua, N.Y. At that time, a peaceful place (and probably still is) with the milk man coming to leave milk in the milk box. A time when postage was 4...

Well, I am back from my trip to Miami, FL, for 3 weeks. Need to catch up on the articles. Had a blessed time with family and ministry. Torah / Bible study: Genesis 1:1-6:8 I won't go into a lot of detail like I did for our Messianic Jewish brethren, since a lot of people might not...
