Messianic Torah Observant Israel

There are six things that Yahweh hates, seven that are an abomination to Him – the seventh being he who sows discord among brothers. The elimination of strife and division are vitally important to our Father. Are you the kind of person that Yahweh would want to spend eternity with? What are some of the things that could keep you out of The Kingdom? Do you quarrel? Are you a passionate person? Is t...

Song for Devarim

What does it mean to deceive ourselves? Are you anti-semitic? How does Abba use strivings and contention? How is unity affected by emotional immaturity? In part 1 of Unity & Division in the Body we learned that the prayer and desire of Yeshua Messiah was that His followers would become one, then and now. (John 17:20-23) In this teaching, part 2, Rabbi Steve Berkson begins by taking us to the w...

As we progress in this series, Covenant Community 101, we are learning about things that inevitably cause argument and debate among us. So, before moving into more topics, Rabbi Steve Berkson thinks it important that the Body of Messiah should understand what unity looks like, how to achieve it and why we have issues that cause division. Why does division come out of disagreement over certain subj...

Song for Chukat

We have learned what ‘leaven’ is and looked at the examples of hypocrisy, blindness and foolishness in the 23rd chapter of Matthew–now Rabbi Steve Berkson wants us to examine ourselves. Could we be like the Pharisees and scribes who say, and do not do? Are you following Yeshua from a distance like Peter did when Yeshua was arrested? Would there be enough “evidence” to convict you of being a Torah...

Song for Korach

Matthew 23:13 gives an account of Yeshua calling the scribes and Pharisees, leaders of the people, on the carpet. He exposed them as hypocritical, blind guides that abused the people for their own greed and power. Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us step-by-step, verse-by-verse to help us understand what Yeshua was saying about them in order for us to examine ourselves and get rid of this “leaven” that c...

Song for Shelach

Most of us know what ‘leaven’ is when it comes to baking bread, etc., but what about the spiritual meaning? Rabbi Steve Berkson takes you through the scriptures that show where the significance of leaven started, how it relates to the sacrifices and examples of how it ruined a whole system of leadership. Rabbi Steve also takes some time in this teaching to address the ‘call no man Rabbi’ issue tha...

Song for Beha'alotcha

In part 10, the final part of Discovering Your Identity, Rabbi Steve Berkson moves us from Isaiah chapter 11 to Romans chapter 11 traversing between the TaNaK and the Brit Chadasha. You will learn through the writings of the apostles that they knew and understood the restoration of the two houses. Is favor, or grace, merited or unmerited, since it’s not by works? If it’s merited, by whom? What is...

Song for Shavuot

How well do know and understand the parable of the Prodigal Son? You probably have never heard an explanation of this parable like Rabbi Steve Berkson brings it in this teaching. In Discovering Your Identity, part 9, there are more connecting of the dots as Rabbi Steve again traverses the TaNaK (Old Testament) and the Brit Chadasha (New Testament), from Isaiah to Luke to Ephesians to Deuteronomy,...

Rabbi Tom Mitchell leads us through the examples of Biblical characters who left their comfort zones to follow the Word of Yahweh to teach us how we should learn from how they followed whole heartedly regardless of how uncomfortable it may have seemed at that time.

What is the “righteousness revealed” of which the prophet Isaiah spoke? (Isa 56). Who is the foreigner who has attached himself to Yahweh? What is the “eunuch” who calls himself a dry tree? Can you fully understand the writings of the Apostles (New Testament) without understanding the Tanak (Old Testament)? If the Jewish people have been rejected and replaced, why did Yeshua say, “deliverance is o...
