The following explanation is meant to serve as a primer to the individuals’ search to become "Torah Observant". The following "drash" (teaching example) should enlighten the average believer: ‘Most new automobiles come with two important pieces of literature: an owner’s manual, and a set of registration papers. The first of these is free with the purchase of the car. The latter needs to be obtained legally by the purchaser. ‘In the event of a traffic altercation (accident, speeding, etc.), the driver of the vehicle is required to produce the proof of registration (among other things) to the policeman making the report. Failure to do so will have serious repercussions on the part of the driver, as this information vitally links the driver to the ownership of the car. Obviously the registration paper is very important.‘On a similar vein, a long trip out and abroad on a hot summer [...]

Would we have a Jewish world leader? If this question were asked of the people of this planet, the most likely answer would be: "Why ask such a foolish question?" After all, the Jews comprises only one percent of the world’s population. Israel is considered a non-entity by most of the world’s inhabitants. So, if one should tak ...
Giving may seem like a sacrifice at times (especially when money is tight) or we often wonder if the person we give to is worthy or really needs our help, but in reality being charitable to others does more for us, for our relationships with G-d and with our fellow human beings than it does to the people who we give to. Jewish people are reno ...
As part of the sanctification process that God would like to start with each one of us – one of the things that God will be doing, through the power of the Holy Spirit, is to either take out or prevent certain types of negative qualities from entering into our personalities. Without question, one of the major qualities that God will be moving ...
¿Qué es un Talit? El Talit es un manto de oración, es la prenda judía más auténtica. Es una pieza rectangular de lino o de lana (a veces, ahora, de poliéster o de seda) con flecos especiales llamados Tzitzit en cada una de las cuatro esquinas. El propósito de la prenda es de celebrar la Tzitzi ...
חבל משיח “Chevlei Mashiach” means the “Birthpangs of the Messiah.” Messianic Judaism (All Judaism is by theory Messianic) teaches that the arrival of Mashiach is accompanied by birth pangs. This is also sometimes referred to as the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble.” J ...
When one studies rabbinic ideas of the Mashiach one comes upon a very curious idea: Mashiach is a Leper! Where does this idea come from? We’ll tell you below, but first consider some of the rabbinic references. Babylonian Talmud: "The Mashiach –what is his name?… The Rabbis say, The Leper Scholar, as it is said, `surely he ha ...
Do we not have our own holidays, our own traditions? Do we need to (if even in a secular fashion) pay tribute to a holiday that was traditionally marked by pogroms and other displays of Anti-Semitism, and just plain rooted in paganism? Should we engage in the frenzy of excess that many engage in during December, and then suffer the feelings of guil ...
A recently discovered pagan shrine dedicated to Rome’s legendary founder Romulus and his brother Remus is being linked by some experts to the first celebration of Christmas held on the date that still marks the festivity today. Last month Italian archaeologists unveiled an underground grotto, which they believe ancient Romans worshipped as th ...
I have been fully aware, from my residence both in the UK and the USA, that the ordinary person in the street has very little knowledge or understanding – if any – of the history, culture and religion of either the Arabs or the Muslims. I am also sure that this ignorance is wide-spread all over the non-Muslim world. It is also a fact th ...
One day a famous Jewish teacher said, "Someone who is trustworthy in a small matter is also trustworthy in large ones, and someone who is dishonest in a small matter is also dishonest in large ones. So if you haven’t been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who is going to trust you with the real thing? If you haven’t been trus ...
I love President Obama. I just love the guy. And with every mean thing that he does to Israel I love him even more. Why? Well, I will give you two reasons why Obama is good for Israel, and one why he is good for America. Obama is good for the Israeli sense of self. When I go to IDF reserve duty, the guys there always tell me the same thing: "W ...
The creation of the modern state of Israel has awakened many dormant cultural pursuits, perhaps none so dramatic as the discovery of long-lost Jews. Every decade or so, another tribe of supposed descendants of biblical Israel—marked by quirky uses of Jewish symbols, eclectic religious observance, and a smattering of Hebrew prayers — is ...
As you will see in one of the Scripture verses below – Satan was one of the highest of all the angels God has ever created. He was allowed to literally walk on the mountain of God Himself. He thus had to know how awesome and how powerful God really is and that there was no way that anyone could ever begin to try and overthrow Him. If God is a ...
At a time where Zionism is defamed and slandered, this article sets out the truth. I am a Zionist. I believe that the Jewish people established itself in the Land of Israel, albeit somewhat late. Had it listened to the alarm clock, there would have been no Holocaust, and my dead grandfather – the one I was named after – would have been ...
