Remember the following three truth’s from our beloved Scriptures!
“Ye
shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of יְהוָה
אֱלֹהֵיכֶם (the LORD your Elo’lei’chem) which I
command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2.
“This is My Name FOREVER, and this is My Memorial to ALL Generations”. Shemot - Exodus 3:15. (JPS).
“I am יְהוָה, that is My Name; and My glory
will I not give to another”. Yeshayahu - Isaiah 42:8. (JPS).

Be led by our blessed faith!.
With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben
Avraham-Goossens, PhD.
“Be strong and courageous. Be careful to obey the entire Torah My servant Moshe has given you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Torah depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”
YYYYYY
Please
Note: All verses are from “Jewish Publication
Society” (JPS-1917 version).
This
study is very different to others online, as I am well aware of the many
problems are facing us in the world today. I believe to fully trust our
Heavenly Father, we need to read His Word, by doing so, believe me, you will be lifted up and guided.
There
are so many these days who stand at thresholds: be it
due to various life choices, or friendships going wrong. Or it could be
identity from the younger generation study problems. The good news is that the Tanakh offers all that we all really need for a path we are
looking for! There are so many blessed texts that call’s the heart to be honest
and for us to be faithful and allow the hands to do righteous work.
Thus, below are selected verses from the JPS
1917 version of the Tanakh, which speaks directly to searching hearts, especially for those that
have courageous trust, moral clarity, and the joy of אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s - (God’s) presence.
Below, there are seven relevant verses which should
encourage your desire to get closer with our faith, become a better Hebrew, as
well as upgrading your life!

“May the Eternal One, צְבָאוֹת-יְהוָה - the LORD of Hosts), bless the work of our hands and the words of our lips as we honour those who have been before us and those with us in faith and upholding the Mitzvoth. May our/your communities be strengthened and be guided by kindness, and sustained by the wisdom of all those who teach and who follow our blessed Torah, faithfully!” Amen, may it be our will.

In Conclusion, a
Question to Deepen the Conversation:
Which part of the Tanakh study, or possibly a particular line or
statement within it has touched you the most? And how do you feel
about spending more time studying our beloved Tanakh? I pray that you are doing
well as a faithful Hebrew, and אֱלֹהִים - Elohim willing you are upholding as many of our
blessed Mitzvoth’s?
Dear reader, please remember this, pray for peace and solitude in
your life, and then work on keeping as calm as possible and learn to improve
your life, for אֱלֹהִים - בָּרוּךְ
אֱלֹהִים - Bless Elohim, He is
always there and ready to help and guide you!

on your faith and pray at least two or of possible three times a day and always
seek אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s guidance! But as you may
have discovered it has become very much a teaching site!
Remember what אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, blessed be He, said the following, via a
number of our prophets...
“Return unto Me,
and I will return unto you, saith צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה- the LORD of hosts”. Mal’a’chi - Malachi 3:7. MEC).
