Episode 628: Love and Torah | Part 32

from Messianic Torah Observant Israel · host Steve Berkson

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.In Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues teaching us about how to love each other. Stopping at verse 1 he expounds on becoming imitators of Elohim as dear children.In verse 2 we are exhorted to walk in love as Messiah also loved us, giving of ourselves to others as a gift to Elohim. Do you want to send up a “sweet smelling aroma” to Yahweh? Learn to serve others.In verses 3 and 4 we see a list of behaviors that should not even be named among the Body of Messiah. Rabbi Berkson takes some time to clarify one of those behaviors – uncleanness.What do these behaviors have to do with loving each other?In verse 5 there is something that we are expected to know – what is it we should know? Why should we know it?In verse 6 Rabbi Berkson asks why Paul would write about “empty words”. What are they? Why are we cautioned about them? How have some teachers misconstrued the meaning of “empty words”? How do they affect our inheritance in the Kingdom of Elohim?In verses 7 through 10 Rabbi Berkson asks us the question, “Who are you trying to please?”Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Related Teachings can be found here:• Tahor & Tamei: What State Are You In? https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX89J0T8wX07_fOrU1-VhaMO• Making Decisions…the reason you exist https://youtu.be/9RfUrlBAVWw• Understanding the Ruach/Spirit https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_0Mi7M6VeNIqg8eu1f_QBm• Are You Saved? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-XDS4JdFkY0WuOGluQm7_Y• The Millennium & The Kingdom https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX9UNbkpvbCaWQXijbyGCLVK• Do You Know the Father and the Son? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX85eE0WcFyzM6xquyz7r_RC• INfocus: You’re Still Wrong https://youtu.be/V9SU20AM5B8• INfocus: Torah Terrorists https://youtu.be/xcXOVXyRxiY• Darkness & Light https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-XQMZGFW34P2ukzmf_M2q1Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Torah Comes to Life | Rabbi Nir Menussi Nir Menussi Jewish Psychology, Philosophy, and Spirituality with Rabbi Nir Menussi MJ Next Drake Dunaway & David Cook Messianic Judaism Next, or MJ Next, is a podcast founded to ignite candid and long-overdue conversations confronting current issues within Messianic Judaism, bringing it closer to a traditional, sustainable, and grown-up religion.We take the legitimacy of Torah and Messiah as givens well past re-litigation. Instead, we call for a Messianic Jewish Revolution that starts from the template of Judaism – complete with its collective wisdom, tradition, scholarship, lifecycles, and rabbinic pedigree – accepting Yeshua as the Messiah and the legitimacy of the New Covenant writings sans the filter of Christian dogma.We will tackle wide-ranging contemporary topics through uncompromising honesty and humor, serving up a crass, unorthodox style in service of an Orthodox Messianic Judaism.You can find us at https://www.mjnext.fm.We welcome and encourage your feedback. If you have topic suggestions, send us an email ([email protected]). Ani Judaism International (Formerly Lapid Judaism International) Christopher Fredrickson The North American Rebbe for Ani Judaism International discusses topics related to the Torah and the Messiah Yeshua from a Hasidic point of view, Rav Chaim Soloveitchik - Chidushei HaRambam JewishPodcasts.org Rav Chaim Solovetichik was one of the greatest Talmudic commentators of all time. His works are studied in-depth in all yeshivot today and he is widely considered the father of modern Talmudic analysis. The only work he wrote was his chiddushim (insights) on the Rambam's halachic rulings, which is considered a classic of Talmudic analysis. But the complexity of the material and the analysis make it difficult for many to study. These audio presentations of his writings by Rabbi Elisha Friedman are intended to help make his Torah insights more accessible.
