Humanity's Annual Mid Term - Get Wisdom

 It's the month of Tishrei on the Hebrew Calendar. Yom Kippur 5784 (October 24, 2023) begins this evening. 

Most people of Judaic faith await their fate for the rest of the year. However, as you may have learned from this blog, this season pertains to all humanity.

Some people are constantly renewing themselves through introspection, forgiveness, daily Torah (Bible/Tanakh) study, and self correction. They don't have to worry about the seasons. But there is a season and a reason for everything and everyone whether or not people are aware.

If you are fortunate, you  have read the Book of Instruction (Tanakh/Old Testament Bible) for yourself.

You have read that the New Year, according to YHVH begins in the spring (Pesach/Passover). 

In the fifty days between Pesach and Shavuot, the people of the Exodus were given the LORD's Laws and Judgments through Moses and were expected to learn them. As they did, they ascended through the 49 mystical gates. If they merited, they would enter through the mystical 50th gate.

However, very few understood. Moses trusted and depended on the LORD. Moses' faith (emunah) and trust in the LORD actually made him over-qualified for the land of milk and honey. He transcribed the Torah given by YHVH, studied and shared its content.

Moses defeated death. He ascended. He entered the fiftieth gate. 

In the LORD's great mercy, we (humanity are given another chance each year in season. Perhaps we can call the seventh month (after Nisan) the "mid-term" exam for all humanity. 

Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur are the season of reflection. The King enters the field to examine the heart of humanity to see if any have repented of their ways.  

Are they ready for the King (Messiah)? He's coming. Pay attention. It's more than climate change my dears.

Have they learned? Do they want to learn? Are they blaming others? Are they holding grudges? Have they matured? Are they holding themselves accountable for their thoughts and actions? Are they repenting?

We all need a solid foundation. However, due to lack of proper guidance, many have sought empowerment through emulating characters from The Sopranos and The Godfather rather than the Ultimate OG, YHVH.

Baruch Ata Adonai Eluheinu Melech Haolam 

Blessed be the LORD our God Ruler of the Universe.

It's like watching the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil vs. the Tree of Life. The serpent is subtle. 

Remember, the serpent told Eve, there's no danger in touching it (Tree of Good and Evil). Look, it's a fruit that will make you wise! You know the rest.

King Solomon once said: "What has been will be again. What has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1:9

Clearly, there is a difference between the "wise guys" and those who seek Wisdom. If you don't know it, read some of our previous postings. 

I hope this is a wake up call for some of you. You know who you are.

"Wisdom will save you from wicked men, from men whose words are perverse who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways." Proverbs 2:12-13

 
This is a generation that many are wiser than their parents. They ask questions. They seek the truth. 

There are some parents/elders (though few) that stayed on the old and good ancient path. Ancient does not mean outdated. It means everlasting, dependable and true in whatever form it takes and wherever it may be.

The good news is if you let them, they will even inspire their parents, friends, family, and network to return to YHVH through their own honest and prayerful pursuit of their God given purpose. There is an old saying, "Never mistake kindness for weakness."

"Wisdom is the Principal thing. Therefore, get Wisdom. In all your getting, get Understanding." Proverbs 4:7

It's the "mid-term" exams. We are all tested. But it's literally an "open book" test. Those who read the Book of Instruction daily can not fail.

You may not get all the answers right initially. But with daily study, eventually you will. Keep asking. Be patient. The answers will come.

You will strengthen your faith (emunah), wisdom, and bitachon (trust in God). Your God given gifts and talents will make room for you. You will be propelled into greatness in your respective field in due season. 

It will not always happen the way you want it, or how your parents did it or even desire for you, but it will happen and usually far greater than you ever anticipated. Trust God. 

Read Torah daily. Give charitably. Respect each other. Love always. L'Chaim!

Suggested Reading Proverbs 1-10; Book of Jonah.

Hear O' Israel. The LORD is our GOD. The LORD is One.

Good Housekeeping

 From time to time, we have to make some corrections. Here are a few.

1) The written and oral laws go together like a good marriage. You need them both. 

However, be careful with some of the commentaries. Some of the commentaries are riddled with traditions leftover from Egypt. There are too many to mention here. I don't want to upset you. 

Just fact check some of the traditions. I try to post them little by little. It's like pulling off an old rag the people treat like a pacifier. It's old and dirty but it's a habit that brings "comfort." It has to en

2) You can stop reading from the Book of Nehemiah. It requires a more in depth discussion. Basically, you're already there. That where Joshua left off. 

The 12 tribes descended from the mountain with Moses. Moses departed. Joshua guided them into the valley. They (each tribe) were to slay the enemy and move into the territory of their inheritance. Only Judah and Simeon did so. The rest dwelled with their enemies until this day as is seen in Israel. (You do have to slay the dragon). 🙄

Jerusalem (located near the dragon well and dung gate) could be entered upon a horse but the wall needed to be built. The kings pool was securely gated. 

Most of us have been in Jerusalem since the fall at Garden of Eden and Babylon. It's where the unclean and uncircumcised (of heart) dwell. The kings pool is a divine mikvah. 

But Jerusalem will be healed. Her walls (boundaries) will be restored.

3) If you have benefited from any of the teachings, please consider making a daily donation to the instructors in the videos for the 5784 Hebrew calendar year. It hastened the redemption.

Teaching the Tanak requires great focus and commitment. There are 383 days in the year 5784. You can donate in variables of chai 18 (life) such as $1.18 or $18 per day via PayPal, venmo or cash app. 

It allows them to teach and pay the expenses without distraction. It puts you in a flow of blessings.

We welcome your gifts as well. However, please note we are not a 501(c)3 as yet. There is no tax deduction. However, if you click our contact button there is a link to make a gift. 

Yo can set up an automatic recurring gift for a year or ongoing. The page explains. 

We will collect and tithe from what we receive to our teachers. It will be a double blessing. You will also be amongst the first notified when, My Love is One 3rd Edition is ready. 🤗

I learned that daily giving tip (tzedaka) from king Solomon. It's for those who understand the flow of wisdom.

It's a wonderful way to enter Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. Even if your heart doesn't understand, your rabbis and accountants do. 😊

Have a sweet, joyous, healthy,  productive  and prosperous year. Safe travels. Be well.

Mazel, bracha, and sweet shalom,

LeTicia 💕
