Moshe Schwab's Podcast

Now is a good time to set your life straight. We are coming up on Yom Kippur when we make a general confession of sins. Ya'akov said in James 1:12 NKJV, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” Psalms 1:1-2 NKJV says, "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counse...

Some things God has hidden the Bible says, but we have His word to follow and we should do what we know and keep His commandments. We need to take care to continue to follow God; what God has given His believers is by no means a small matter. What God created is beautiful, His commandments are a blessing for us, and the work of the Holy Spirit is also good. God has given us gifts associated with t...

There are more commandments in this portion. We should remember that God gave us His commandments to help us. If we keep His commandments God says we will be His treasured people. I want to be one of God's treasured people. The Bible teaches us that we are to be a humble people. We can incur curses by not keeping God's commandments; often these are in the form of consequences. We will re...

Being satisfied in life is perhaps half the battle of life, it's important. God has helped me; He has healed me at times; He is truly a kind and good God; I am satisfied following God.   This portion contains a lot of important miscellaneous laws. Some of the laws are used in our own culture. God is the creator and knows what is best for us. Work at directing your life towards God. It will gi...

This Torah portion begins by talking about appointing judges. Judges were not to subvert justice. We also should do what is right and therefore make this world a better place to live. Stay in faith and keep God’s commandments. Accept what God teaches us and trust in Him. Find ways that help you to keep God's commandments. Do not live in sin. Set your course spiritually. What we do matters. Do...

God gave us His word and His commandments so that we will be blessed and see His goodness. We need to learn how to live right and that comes from following what it says in the Bible. Do we deal with anger how the Bible tells us to? Learn and be ready to follow what the Bible says. We need to study the scriptures and be encouraged in them. Have a proper perspective of life and put God first. Do thi...

Bamidbar Torah teaching and teaching, "Give Glory to God." There are mostly commandments for the Levites in the portion. Some of the commandments in the Old Testament are not for everyone. The commandments that are for us give us wisdom and understanding. God is wonderful and amazing.  God chose their leaders by name. It shows us that the creator God knows each of us. Yeshua said God kno...

32 Behar - 33 Bechukotai 2021 and teaching "Making Adjustments to Life."

Torah teaching Emor 2021 and teaching, "Live in the Light." There are many sound applicable commandments that come from the Old Testament. Yeshua (Jesus) and Shaul (Paul) taught from the Old Testament and used it as doctrine. We have a good God who wants us to have peace and joy. We have so much to be thankful for as believers in the true God. God can give us peace and keep our hearts an...

Torah teaching for Acharei Mot and Kedoshim, "Be a Blessing. We are to “put to death” sin it says in Colossians 3:5 NKJV. These are some strong words. Why not make the effort to do what is right and bring blessing to others instead of sin, and the pain and destruction that can accompany sinful behavior? Be stable in all you do and no matter what, keep trusting in God and be at peace. Worry of...

The teaching for Tazria and Metzora for 2021 and teaching, "Follow God." God gave us the laws in the Old Testament portion to protect us. The quarantine practices in the Old Testament still apply today. When we do what God tells us, we can be blessed by God. When we serve others, God can use us for His purposes. God even used lepers who discovered the invading army had left without takin...

This is the Torah teaching for Shemini 2021 and accompanying teaching, "Be Wise." In this portion, fire came out of the sky and consumed the burnt offering; we should remember to do what God says; He is God and we are not.

This is the Torah teaching for Vayikra and accompanying teaching, "Yeshua is the Way." God requires a sacrifice for our shortcomings (sin); Leviticus 17:11 NKJV says, "It is the blood that makes atonement." God made a way for all to come to Him through the Messiah Yeshua. People are prone to sin and doing things their own way instead of doing what is right. Have a God centered...

Torah teaching for Vayakhel-Pekudei 2021 and accompanying teaching, "God is Amazing and Wonderful." God wants to comfort us and give us peace in every situation.

Be sensible and do not tempt God. You do your part in...

Torah Teaching Ki Tissa and "Keys to a Good Life." The sin of idolatry caused the death of 3,000 for Israel in this Torah portion. Sin in our world has caused untold sickness, pain, and death. God gave us His commandments because we need His help; that is an understatement. God is not trying to take away our fun but protect us. Someday the world will be a great place to live when God is...

This is the Torah teaching for Tetzaveh 2021 and accompanying teaching, "Be an Encourager." God had specific instructions on how the Mishkan was to be built.

God draws us together as a peop...

Terumah Torah teaching for 2021 and teaching, "God Gives Us Good Instructions." Shaul says we are to be living sacrifices who demonstrate who God is (Romans12:1-2).

This is the Torah teaching for Yitro and accompanying teaching. What an amazing God we have. He has told us how to live; He is a loving God who cares about us.

Sometimes we think of God calling us to do something or an experience of God as important spiritual...

This is the Torah teaching for Beshalach and the accompanying teaching. God is for His people and helps His people both in the Old Testament portion and our present era. God is the same today as He was years ago; a caring and good God. Some 2 million people left Egypt in faith and God provided for them. What an amazing act of faith of so many people. Those who trust in God will be blessed; "B...

This the accompanying teaching for the Torah portion Bo. Pharaoh thought He was in control and nothing else mattered, but he found out who was really in control. Living life without a proper spiritual focus is a big mistake. I think there is a saying that says you will end up paying for what you do. God is the almighty king and judge. Don’t diminish who He is. Have a balanced life that puts God in...

This is the Torah portion teaching for Bo. There is also an accompanying teaching for this portion. We see the a God in this portion who wants us to do what is right and He wants to restore His people.

This is the Torah portion of our teaching for Va'era. There is also an accompanying teaching. Moshe came back to Egypt ready to go to work for God, but Pharaoh resisted him and the people became discouraged because Pharaoh persecuted them even more. God told Moshe to keep at it and Moshe persisted. It is unimaginable what the indignant Pharaoh did to His people because he resisted God. That i...

This is the accompanying teaching for Va'era. Pharaoh brought pain and anguish on the people of Egypt because of his unbelief. God creates things that are useful. The pyramids were just filled with bones. God designed us to convey His goodness and love and have good fruit in our lives. God gives us blessings; the worldly are takers. God is limitless in His ability; Yěhōváh is king of the univ...

This is the Torah teaching for Shemot for 2020. Although we see lack of trust in God at times as in today’s portion, it was through trust in God that Israel was set free. We also need to have trust in God and live with faith.  Hebrews 11:23-26 CJB says, "By trusting, the parents of Moshe hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they weren...
