Summary

Puzzled by the fact that her unborn baby seemed to be attracted to both paganism and monotheism, Rebecca consulted God — only to discover that she would be giving birth to twins. “There are two nations in your womb,” God explained to Rebecca, “and these two nations will go their separate ways once they emerge.” Rabbi Dunner presents a fascinating Nesivos Sholom which tries to make sense of this puzzling vignette. What was Rebecca thinking when she asked the question? What is the eternal message of the “two nations” concept? How can we apply this story to our own lives? The Nesivos Sholom unlocks the puzzle at the heart of this story, and offers us a meaningful interpretation that can help us understand the human condition, and how we can overcome any material handicap to get closer to God.

Removing the Stumbling Blocks: a Deeper look at the Writings of Paul Household of Israel Temple of Jesus Christ Greetings brothers and sisters, for the month of January, we will be presenting audio presentations concerning the writings of the Apostle Paul, which are often misread and misinterpreted. In fact, the misinterpretation of Paul's writings can become a "stumbling block" for those who do not read his scriptures closely and carefully. What is a stumbling block?...an obstacle or hindrance to progress, belief, or understanding. In this case, an obstacle or hinderance that prevents one from fully understanding, believing or progressing in the laws of God. Many churches of this world have used the writing's of Paul to justify the following ideas: 1) "the laws of God are nailed to the cross;", 2) "Sunday is the modern day Sabbath;" and 3) "all animals are God's creatures therefore we can eat want we want." We will dispel these false ideas and take a deeper look at the writings of Paul, explaining its true meaning.
