Please do NOT visit this site on שַׁבָּת - Shabbat or on the מוֹעֲדִים - Mo’a’dim - Feasts!

Tanakh versions:

Throughout this site I may use any of the following three versions of the TaNaKh: 1. “Jewish Publication Society” (JPS-1917), 2. Mechon-Mamre.org” (MEC), and 3. “Sefaria.org” (SEF).

Colour coded details of the - 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.

Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold

wondrous things out of Thy Law!

Tehillim - Psalm 119:18..

(JPS-1917 version of the Tanakh).

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 יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם - the LORD your Eloleichem, which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

However, sadly both the later priests as well as our rabbis of long ago have shamefully disobeyed this command of אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה - the LORD Elohim, בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם קָדוֹשׁוֹ - ‘Baruch Shem Kadosho’ – ‘Blessed be His Holy Name!’

“Prayer of Sorrow”

With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens, PhD.

This prayer is first shown in English, followed in Hebrew, and finally a Transliteration.

The Prayer:

“Father אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, forgive me for the times I have strayed from Your path. Grant me the strength to walk in Your blessed way!

Heavenly Father, I confess my sins and wrong doings, and I seek Your loving mercy. Forgive me of my transgressions and guide me on Your path of righteousness.

Oh, merciful Elohim, forgive me for the words spoken in anger and the deeds done in haste. May Your blessed Love replace my shortcomings!”

הַבְּרוּכָה אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם, אֲנִי מִתְוַדֶּה עַל חֲטָאַי וְעַל עֲווֹנוֹתַי, וַאֲנִי מְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת רַחֲמֶיךָ הָאוֹהֲבִים. סְלַח לִי עַל פְּשָׁעַי וְהַדְרִיכֵנִי בְּמַעְגְּלֵי צֶדֶק אֱלֹהִים הָרַחֲמָן, סְלַח לִי עַל דְּבָרִים שֶׁנֶּאֶמְרוּ בְּכַעַס וְעַל מַעֲשִׂים שֶׁנַּעֲשׂוּ בְּפִּזָּרוֹן. יְהִי רָצוֹן שֶׁאַהֲבָתְךָ הַבְּרוּכָה תָּמִיר אֶת חֶסְרוֹנוֹתַ

“Avinu Elohim, selach li al ha’pe’amim she’satiti mi’netivecha. Ha’anek li et ha’koach lalechet be’darchecha ha’bruchah!

Avinu she’bashamayim, ani mitvadeh al chata’ai ve’al avonotai, va’ani mevakesh et rachamecha ha’ohavim. Selach li al pesha’ai ve’hadricheni be’ma’aglei tzedek.

Elohim ha’rachaman, selach li al devarim she’ne’emru be’ka’as ve’al ma’asim she’na’asu be-pizaron. Yehi ratzon she’ahavat’cha ha’bruchah tamir et chesronotai!

************

Then say the “Shema Yisrael”:

The “Shema” below is 1. In Hebrew, 2. Transliteration & 3. English.

יִשְׂרָאֵל: יָהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יָהוָה אֶחָד שְׁמַע

“She’ma Yisrael, Adonai Elo’hey’nu, Adonai Echad”.

“Hear O Israel the LORD our God, the LORD is One”

בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

“Ba’ruch Shem” Ka’vot Mal’chu’to Le’Olam Va’ed”.

“Blessed be His Name”, whose glorious Kingdom is forever and forever.

The bold sections are Scriptural, the rest after “Ba’ruch Shem” was added by rabbis, but use it if you so wish.

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 via several 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. (JPS).

And Remember ...

Enjoy your Sabbath Rest, Shabbat Shalom!

אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, בְּחֻקּוֹתַי לֵכוּ; וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי שִׁמְרוּ, וַעֲשׂוּ אוֹתָם

וְאֶת-שַׁבְּתוֹתַי, קַדֵּשׁוּ; וְהָיוּ לְאוֹת, בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם-לָדַעַת, כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם

“I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - the LORD your Eloheichem; walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and hallow My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - the LORD your Eloheichem”. Yechezkel - Ezekiel 20:19-20. (JPS).

YYYYYYY

“Hebraic Studies” motto is as follows;

“The More Torah, the More Life”

For אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה - the LORD Elohim, Blessed be His Sanctified Name,

He 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!

שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם - Shalom Aleichem - Peace be with you!
