The Days of Transformation

This piece is a shout out to my friend Jim Myers and his Real Yeshua Blog. The Hebrew month of Elul comes before the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Traditionally it is a time of inner reflection which we call in Hebrew Heshbone Ha Nefesh, literally, “an accounting of the soul.” Friday, August 14th was the start of this sacred season.

As Jim points out, an important component of this time is repairing and reconciling broken relationships. There are three basic relationships involved:

(1) The one we have with ourselves.

(2) The one we have with our Highest Power or Highest Love.

(3) The ones we have with the rest of creation.


Unfortunately for us, we are responsible for repairing and reconciling all three. Read Rabbi Leynor’s complete blog at -- http://tovcenter.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-days-of-transformation.html

A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

Deuteronomy and the Creation of Messianic Realities

  Moses led the tribes of Israel to the place they stopped and could see the Promised Land. As they stood there, a cloud moved above the door of the Tabernacle. God would soon inaugurate Joshua to lead the people into their new homeland. But, only Moses heard what God said about the future of the new nation.

The Meanings of Blessed of My Father

  When Jesus said, “Come you blessed of my Father,” he was referring the Creator’s blessing of the humans in Genesis 1. It reveals the Creator’s vision of how humans are to live on earth. Sadly, very few people understand who and what they have within them. This wisdom has the power to change lives today – as well as revealing the meaning of the parable of Jesus.
