“Therefore, Choose Life” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our hope is not based on Israel’s ability to hold onto God, but on God’s faithfulness to hold onto Israel. And because he remains faithful, he continues to call us to teshuvah. He calls us to choose life, love Adonai, listen to his voice, and cling to him.
Skin in the Game (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s an ancient story that the Romans required bridge builders to stand underneath their completed bridges when the supporting scaffolding was removed. The reason is obvious—it was an incentive for them to show that they had done the job correctly, that they had “skin in the game.” Otherwise there would be some consequences for them. It is clear that God has a lot of skin in the game in the story of our people.
Ethics in Unexpected Places (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week’s portion opens with a legal code regarding the treatment of prisoners of war that can seem remote from life today, until we set it against the catalogue of wartime horrors compiled over the past century. Read against that record, the distance collapses.
The Heart of a Mediator (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we remember our need for restoration during this season of reflection and repentance, we are thankful for the One who stands before God on our behalf. But can we also look beyond our own need for restoration and share in the burden that Messiah Yeshua carries for the restoration of all Israel?
The Lord Is Our Inheritance and We Are His (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scripture reminds us that before we ever inherit anything from God, God chose us as his inheritance. He delights in his people. We are our beloved’s inheritance, and he is ours. The One who gives rest. The One who dwells among his people.
