The Feast of Unleavened Bread in the Bible Commanded; NOT Easter
Beth Elohim Messianic Synagogue I receive many questions about unleavened bread and the laws concerned with removing it from your homes. Interestingly, I seldom get questions inquiring as to what behaviors may be equated with leaven (sin) as individuals either begin or continue their “wilderness experience” and walk with G-d. Furthermore, since many of our… Read more »
Authenticity of Torah Through the Chanukkah Story
The Authenticity of the Torah through the Chanukkah Story Tonight we are going to talk about the concept of authenticity as it relates to G-d, the Torah (Bible), and the attitudes of today’s society.

I’m going to take a back door kind of approach to this subject. Instead of taking you through the typology of the Tabernacle proper, I will initially… Read more »
Yom Kippur (Observed at Beth Elohim according to the Zadok calendar)

YHVH’s Festivals

(remember,… Read more »

Hanukkah though not a commanded festival is obviously G-d approved as Yahshua also celebrated it. In John 10:22-23 we read… Read more »
