ZARABEN: THE RETURN

ZARABEN.ORG Studios presents Torah Teaching 29 on “Ahare Movt” (“after the death”), linking its root meanings (tarrying, being behind, procrastinating) to death as a warning against delaying obedience and transformation. RC JedidiYah reveals the Torah is a total culture and identity requiring complete submission that affects time (Shabbat), home, marriage, children, work, and daily prayer structure.  JedidiYah stresses Nadab and Abihu’s death shows the danger of approaching YHVH wrongly and outlines the Day of Atonement procedures, including the two goats, lots for YHVH and Azazel (fallen Angel which all sin is attributed), and annual cleansing of the Sons’s of Israel sins, asserting YHVH alone forgives sin.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 16:1-18:30 Also Read from the  *Nevi'im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 20 WHEN: May 17, 2025 @ 9:00 AM  

ZARABEN.ORG Studios presents Torah Teaching 28 Ha’ Metzora (“the afflicted one”), emphasizing that spiritual affliction (Tzaraat) and life’s hardships are tools YHVH uses to discipline, correct and produce righteousness.  Torah-based accountability and change, are a requirement to live in Covenant with YHVH. RC JedidiYah reveals the links between affliction and inner issues like gossip, pride, and covetousness.  The  laws on male discharges, seminal emission, and a woman’s Niddah these daily-life commands are what YHVH uses to teach what is clean and unclean according to the Torah.

ZARABEN.ORG Studios presents Torah Teaching 28 Ha’ Metzora (“the afflicted one”), using King Uzziah as an example of pride and refusal to submit, contrasting him with Hezekiah’s repentance and healing. RC JedidiYah reveals that “Truth” (the Torah) frees people from self-deception and that affliction (personal, relational, financial, or physical) functions as YHVH’s scourge to drive repentance and change, not mere apologies. JedidiYah emphasizes that healing requires being examined by a Priest / Prophet (Teacher of Torah), exposing and confessing the problem, separation, and a new identity, along with required offerings “within one’s means” and never coming empty-handed.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 14:1-15:33 Also Read from the  *Nevi'im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 19 RECORDED: May 10, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

ZARABEN.ORG Studios presents Torah Teaching 28 Ha’ Metzora (“the afflicted one”), explaining Ha’ Metzora as a spiritual affliction that can become an identity when a person embodies victimhood or refuses to change. R C JedidiYah reveals that Torah principles always exist. YHVH uses affliction and discipline to reveal clean and unclean and to drive transformation through submission. JedidiYah urges listeners to examine whether they cling to cultural identities or personal success instead of YHVH’s culture. He then expounds 2 Chronicles 26 on King Uzziah, whose prosperity and fame bred pride; when he unlawfully tried to burn incense, he remained a Ha’ Metzora until death.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 14:1-15:33 Also Read from the  *Nevi'im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 19 RECORDED: May 10, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

ZARABEN.ORG Studios presents Torah Teaching 27, Part 3 of Tazria. In this teaching, RC JedidiYah explores the spiritual disease of Tazria, focusing on fabrics and clothing as symbolic representations of false coverings, outward facades, and counterfeit religious practices that must be brought before a priest for Torah-based examination and judgment. JedidiYah emphasizes that confession by itself may not be sufficient. He warns against hidden sin, self-diagnosis, and postponing repentance, stressing the importance of bringing spiritual issues into the light for proper evaluation and cleansing.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 12:1-13:59 Also Read from the  *Nevi’im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 18 WHEN: May 03, 2025 @ 9:00 AM  

ZARABEN.ORG studios presents Torah Teaching 27, “Tazria” (to conceive seed/give birth; root zara, to sow), linking what a person “sows” through media, books, and conversations to outward manifestations such as tzarat (uncleanness/affliction). RC JedidiYah urges guarding the mind, using YHVH’s rhythms (morning/evening prayer, Sabbath, moedim) and planting Torah as daily seed.    Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 12:1-13:59 Also Read from the  *Nevi'im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 18 WHEN: May 03, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

ZARABEN.ORG studios presents Torah Teaching 27 on “Tazria,” explaining its roots in Zara (“to sow/scatter seed”) and the principle that what is conceived and brought forth corresponds to the seed planted. RC JedidiYah then connects “Zara/seed” to spiritual outcomes and introduces the laws of Tzarat (affliction/leprosy) as outward signs of inward spiritual issues requiring priestly diagnosis, isolation, and weekly re-examination. He warns against long-standing “old” Tzarat tied to chronic issues requiring change (sin), emphasizing submission, humility, and prompt correction, while previewing later discussion on slander, gossip, pride, and overreaching.

ZARABEN.ORG studios presents Torah Teaching 26, HaShemini (“the eighth”), linking it to the uncircumcised and warning from Nadab and Abihu against approaching YHVH on one’s own terms. RC JedidiYah teaches that the Torah is a lifelong, costly process of submission aimed at making sons of Israel “whole and complete,” using food as a key test of obedience and a divider between righteous and unrighteous.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 9:1-11:47 Also Read from the  *Nevi’im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 17 RECORDED:  April 26, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

ZARABEN.ORG continues with Torah Teaching 26 on HaShemini (“the eighth”), linking it to “plumpness,” surplus, and the “uncircumcised” mind and heart that refuses submission and tries to approach YHVH on its own terms.

ZARABEN.ORG presents a teaching on HaShemini (“Eight”), exploring the spiritual symbolism of “fatness” as a sign of abundance that can lead to complacency, insensitivity, and even rebellion against YHVH’s commandments. RC JedidiYah contrasts this with the concept of circumcision—not merely physical, but a complete cutting away that represents heartfelt submission and devotion. The episode emphasizes that Torah principles and the sacrificial system extend beyond the physical temple, pointing to a life of continual offering—whether through repentance, gratitude, or willing obedience. Drawing near (qarab) to YHVH is shown to be costly, requiring total surrender of one’s life, household, and attitudes, including humility in relationships with others, since wrongdoing against people is also sin against Him. Ultimately, this teaching highlights that those called by YHVH’s name—identified with Israel—must approach Him according to His prescribed ways in the Torah, not through personal interpretation, religious tradition, or convenience.
