Tonight Sundown is the start of the month of AV. Why do we celebrate the new moon or new Month? Why do we observe the Shabbat (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown)? Why do we celebrate the “Feasts of the Lord” as mentioned multiple times in the Torah (Bible)? Simple answer, is as HIS covenant people, we are commanded to do so.In EX 31:13 (Shabbats (plural) are a sign/mark that distinguishes us to be HIS Holy Set Apart people. Isa 66:22-23 When the Messiah returns, HE will continue with the Rosh Chodesh and Sabbath observances.

We are ending the book of Numbers “Bamidbar” with a double Parsha, Matot (Tribes) and Masei (Journeys), the fourth book of the Torah. The parashah is made up of 5,652 Hebrew letters, 1,484 Hebrew words, 112 verses. Parsha Masei has 5,773 Hebrew letters, 1,461 Hebrew words, 132 verses. but the book that deals with the most crisis in the lives of the Jewish people. We had so many issues that befell the Jewish people. We had the spies, the complainers, the rebellions. The deaths of Miriam and Aaron were read in the book. We had Moshe hitting the rock instead of speaking to the rock. The Korak rebellion and the incidents with the Midianite women and the worship of the pagan idol. Next week, we will start the book of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is a review of the entire Torah. What does it mean review? It means everything that the Jewish people learned the last 40 years from from the Exodus from Egypt all the way till they're about to enter into the land of Israel is going to be reviewed. We have said that the Torah is not a book of stories or a history book. The book of the Torah is not just a book of laws. It's a book of life. It's called a Sefer Chayim “ Book of Life”. Torah tells us how to live life. So we have to look at every Torah portion with the lens with the understanding this is God instructing to us on how to live life, how to maximize life. Why, because Hashem wants to have a relationship with us, not a religion with us. The Torah, HIS instruction, to show you what HIS Heart is ……..to reveal HIS Essence to US ……so WE MAY know HIM better and if we look into the laws and the Commandments and the stories of events and learn how to interpret them to show us more about who God is ……..it'll change the way we live lifeis meant for us to know HIM….. through the things HE likes (positive commandments) and dislikes (negative commandments). He also has a special day to come together, weekly, monthly, annually, every 7 years, every 50 years.

INTERSTING THAT OF THE 54 TORAH PORTIONS TITLES 6 ARE HUMAN NAMES….NOACH , CHAYIE SARAH….. YITRO (PAGAN PRIEST) KORACH, BALAK PINCHAS. Of the 6, 3 are in the book of Numbers.In the book of numbers, we think about them Korach who was a Jew who had a wicked heart and he had a very lofty, high position in the nation of Israel but he was not satisfied with his position he wanted to grasp more power more authority and rebelled against Hashem. We come to balak who was a wicked Gentile King and he's the one who had the bright idea to hire the Prophet The Wicked Prophet Balaam to come into curse the Jewish people. Finally but then with Phineas or Pincus we find a very very righteous Jewish man whose Act of zeal for God is was so memorable, that averted the plague, and so marked that God established them a Brit Shalom a covenant of Peace.WHY IS Evil people’s name included as part of the Torah? WHAT IS HAHSEM TELLING US BY HAVING EVEN THOSE men like korah and Balak THAT LEAD ISRAEL ASTRAY GIVEN HONOUR….

Feast of Shavuot the most misunderstood festival.

Month of Sivan starts sundown of May 16th, 2026 and is the third month on the Jewish calendar counting from Nisan (redemption/freedom) to Iyar (Counting the Omer) to Sivan (Receiving the Torah) Mystical 3 connected to Sivan: Hebrew Torah: The Hebrew Bible is divided into three sections: Torah (Law), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). Three-Part Nation: The Jewish people are structurally divided into three groups: Kohanim (Priests), Levites, and Israelites. Third Child: Moses, who ascended Mount Sinai to receive the Torah, was the third child of his parents, Amram and Yocheved (after Miriam and Aaron). Three Days of Preparation: Before the revelation at Sinai, God commanded the nation to undergo three days of spiritual purification Number 1: Absolute unity (Hashem) Number 2: Represents separation, division and duality (man and woman; heaven and earth) Number 3: Represents ”Harmony and Peace”. It is the force that connects two opposing realities. Shavuot celebrates the ultimate connection between the upper spiritual worlds and our physical world, bridged forever by the Torah. In Torah thought, the number one represents absolute unity (God). The number two represents separation, division, and duality (man and woman, heaven and earth). [1, 2, 3] The number three represents harmony and peace. It is the force that connects two opposing realities. Shavuot celebrates the ultimate connection between the upper spiritual worlds and our physical world, bridged forever by the Torah. The Month of Divine Connection In Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), Sivan is the month of integration. It moves us past the constriction of Nissan (Passover) and the spiritual refinement of Iyar (the Omer). Sivan represents the ultimate wedding between heaven and earth. 1 Time 2:5 (Yeshua the mediator between Heaven and earth) 5 For God is one;[a] and there is but one Mediator between God and humanity, Yeshua the Messiah, himself human, 6 who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all, thus providing testimony to God’s purpose at just the right time. Ep 2:11-14 (Yeshua broke the wall to bring peace) 11 Therefore, remember your former state: you Gentiles by birth — called the Uncircumcised by those who, merely because of an operation on their flesh, are called the Circumcised — 12 at that time had no Messiah. You were estranged from the national life of Isra’el. You were foreigners to the covenants embodying God’s promise. You were in this world without hope and without God. 13 But now, you who were once far off have been brought near through the shedding of the Messiah’s blood. 14 For he himself is our shalom — he has made us both one and has broken down the m’chitzah which divided us

Vayakhel (And He Assembled) Pekudei (Accounting) Exodus 35:1to 38:20; 38:21-40:38 is double Torah portion this week. MOSES comes down after 40 days to let the Children of Israel know that Hashem has forgiven them, and that day was Yom Kippur. 10th day of Tishrei. Informs them of the building project.The tabernacle project is completed and Moses, Aaron and the rest are about to assemble the tabernacle. The assembly starts with the Holy of Holies and as if Moses is moving backwards (same way when leaving the presence of a King) and starts describing the Holy Place and then moves all the way at the entrance describes the altar and moving forward into the brazen laver. Why did the Lord take the time to describe the earthly tabernacle? Perhaps He is showing us something. In fact, I can show you that the Gospel (plan of salvation and redemption) can be seen on the tabernacles. It goes on to describe the Priestly garments. In fact, this is the same garment described by Paul as our full armor of God (not a Roman soldier). In Pekudei, they call this the accountants Torah portion. God is showing us the importance of full disclosure and accounting of resources entrusted to us. Throughout this Torah portion, you will repeatedly hear/read “according to all that the Lord had commanded”. Because the children of Israel did that, he Glory of the Lord fell and came. It is an example for us, when God tells us to do something, we need to be faithful to carry it out “according to all that the Lord had commanded”.
