Please do NOT visit this
site on שַׁבָּת - Shabbat or on
the מוֹעֲדִים - Mo’a’dim - Feasts!
Re Tanakh versions:
Throughout this site I may use any of three versions of the Tanakh: 1. “Jewish
Publication Society” (JPS-1917), 2. “Mechon-Mamre.org” (MEC), and 3. “Sefaria.org” (SEF), three brilliant versions, However, the
JPS-1917 is my preferred version!
Colour coded
details of our beloved TaNaKh:
1. Torah = History & Law, 2. Nevi’im = The Prophets. 3. *Ketuvim = all other Writings.
*The Ketuvim - Includes, Poetical
books - Psalms, Proverbs, Job, the Megillot, or Scrolls - Song of Solomon, Ruth,
Lamentations of Jeremiah, Ecclesiastes, and Esther, prophecy of
Daniel, and history of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles I & II.
Please Note: Some
alterations or (additions) have been made relating to ‘Names’ and ‘Attributes’
of אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, having been corrected like it
once was pre the “Masoretic Text”.
YYYYYYY
Remember the following truth from our
beloved Torah!
“Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which
I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH FROM
IT, that ye may keep the commandments of אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - the LORD your Eloleichem,
which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

Dear Torah Keeper:
Believe me; what you are doing is really beautiful, for you have chosen
to be on the right road. It does take a strong person to reroute the course of
their life. It is not easy to stand up against centuries of tradition of all
the cultural pressures. But you are doing it! And אֱלֹהִים -
Elohim wiling, you are doing it so well! You can be happy and proud of
being a Hebrew, part of the oldest faith on earth!
Thus, let
me say that I am very proud of you when you mark ‘Shabbas’ and the ‘Yom
Tovim’ days on your calendar for the set apart times. I am proud of you when
you ensure to have a restful Shabbas each and every week, even though at times,
the last week did not exactly work out how you really wanted it, but you continued
and praised His blessed Name!
I am proud of you for having those awkward conversations where you
explain that you do not eat pork or that you can not eat leavened bread for one
week each year. I am cheering you on when you have those tough discussions with
others about why you do not celebrate ‘Christmas’ or ‘Easter’. And of course
there are times you are upset because your Hebrew child feels different than al
those other the kids at their school, etc. But you are doing a work that
pleases our beloved אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה -
the LORD Elohim!
When you get those looks, those judgmental comments, when you are
misunderstood, when you feel scrutinized or not good enough because someone
else keeps Torah differently than you, I am proud of you for putting what you
do know into practice. While you might beat yourself up for stumbling along the
narrow road, just keep on upholding the instructions of our loving Father has
given us!
You are doing great following that which He asks of you and you work in
order to honour the Sabbath. These are the kind of actions that will make our
world a little bit closer to what our beloved Creator intended. I am proud of
you when you share what you have taught people who new little to nothing
regarding our faith. Thus know that you are shining a light that will reveal
many regarding His truth.
Yes, I am so proud of you for walking on His path for keeping the Commandments even when it can be difficult at times. I am proud of you for trying your very best, for אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה - the LORD Elohim sees what you are doing and it is beautiful and precious to Him, בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם קָדוֹשׁוֹ – ‘Baruch Shem Kadosho’ – ‘Blessed be His Holy Name!’
YYYYYYY
Please Note: “hebraicstudies” links are located down
the page!
This site was originally created, for those
who desired to return to our blessed and wonderful faith. Thus be wise and work
on your faith and pray at least two or three times a day (if possible) and
always seek our beloved אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s guidance,
for His love is always with us, especially when we seek Him, blessed be He!
However this site has become very much a teaching site with hundreds of
studies!
Remember what אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, blessed be
He, said the following through a number of our prophets...
“Hebraic Studies” motto is as follows;
“The More Torah, the More Life”,
For Elohim is the One who
gave us our ... “Life!”
May the שָׁלוֹם - Shalom = Peace
of צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה= the LORD of hosts, be with
you, and please always uphold our blessed שַׁבָּת - Shabbat, as well as
the מוֹעֲדִים - Mo’a’dim - Feasts, and continue saying your
daily תְּפִלָּה - Tefeelah’s - Prayers and
regular בְּרָכָה - Be’ra’chah’s - blessings before food
and drinks, etc!
