Episode 648: Love and Torah | Part 43

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.Continuing in 1 Corinthians chapter 13, aka “The Love Chapter”, Rabbi Steve Berkson explains how love can take on many forms of behavior such as patience, preferring another above yourself, treating those who abuse and slander you with kindness, etc. “The Love Chapter” says real love does not behave indecently – what is indecent behavior? Can you find a definite description in scripture? Rabbi Berkson explains how this concept is different among various cultures, societies, peoples, etc. This is also where he talks about “Situational Awareness” and why you should practice it in order to demonstrate love toward others.Wrapping up “The Love Chapter”, Rabbi Berkson takes care in going word by word, term by term, verse by verse to ensure that you, even though you may have read this chapter many times, will have an even deeper understanding of what it means to love one another.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: Developing the Character of Yeshua https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_fefHRSPcUlLPsRSeHwxsb What is Worship? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-_h58GEfh00Hbr_JozebDE INfocus: You’re Still Wrong https://youtu.be/V9SU20AM5B8 INfocus: Emunah https://youtu.be/UxxiMAbTEwA INfocus: Take My Yoke Upon You? https://youtu.be/I7Eqjtf6_LY Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

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.
