Get to Heaven Keep the Seven

Everybody wants spirituality. To be a good person means to walk in G-d's ways. How does that translate to reality? The only guidebook to spirituality that has stood the test of time is the Hebrew Bible. The Bible says that the Jews will be a light onto the nations. But if you are not a born Jew, you have to convert, which is not so easy!! If you do convert, it is a lot of work to be a Jew (three times a day prayer, keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath).

This blog will show you how to be Jewish without the work!!

The Portion of Terumah

The Tabernacle and the Temples

Following the revelation at Sinai and the receiving of the laws there is now a need to erect a building which will testify to G-d's presence amidst His people. "And let them make for Me a sanctuary so that I shall amongst them" (Exodus 25;8). G-d's presence amongst the people feels tangible through the erection of the Mishkan (tabernacle).

The process of constructing the Mishkan at this point in time, and the Temple to be built later on, requires exact and detailed instructions as well as the raising of the necessary funds.

An allusion to the construction of the Mishkan and the two Temples may be found in the three crowns which appear atop the final letter "mem" in the word "betocham" (amongst them).

(Sefer Harokeiach on the Torah)

The Three Musketeers at the Kotel

The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.

The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

The Political Motivations to Deny the Bible's Historical Accuracy

Did you know that many international institutions are claiming that King David—the Biblical king of Israel—is a myth? Ze'ev Orenstein is a Director at City of David Foundation in Jerusalem. He sits with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to give historical evidence that King David—along with other figures in the Bible—actually did exist. He also discusses who is behind the tremendous efforts to revise this history.
