Shalom my friends.
Recently I wrote an article on the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah, the Servant of God. For centuries that very chapter has been a commonly used reference and a stronghold for the missionaries of the Christian faith.

SHALOM MY FRIENDS.
What can be said that hasn’t already been said. For as long as there will be life on the face of the earth, so will there be, many theologies. Like a ball of yawn intertwined, are too the ways of our understanding. During my 2.5 years as a Messianic Jew I would argue [...]

Shalom my good friends.
Today I would like very much to speak of Sarah, wife of Abraham. All too often we speak of Godly men and not their counterparts, and besides its been on my mind. As men we can’t deny the beauty of women nor can we deny the way they have been built. However, [...]

Shalom Talmidim. 
The time is like no other, it is time. Hear the movement of HASHEM through the Garden in the cool of the night. Cover your shame, cry out from within. God is unlike no other, He is One! Salvation belongs to HASHEM, it was His prior to the first utterance. Like a father who [...]
