Weekly Torah Portion: Ki Tavo
The bringing of the first-fruits to the Holy Temple is the supreme reality check by which
we recognize G-d's constant presence in our lives, and the undeniable fact that all we have
is by virtue of His desire to bless us with His goodness.

Netanyahu's Explosive Speech to the UN [VIDEO]
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz
In a dramatic speech on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly, openly confronting them with their blatant bias against Israel while holding out his hand in friendship. With the US President‘s shocking statement to the UN, “Israel cannot permanently occupy Palestinian land”, still echoing in the hall, Netanyahu threw down the gauntlet, stating in no uncertain terms that Israel would not back down.

Shabbat Shalom !
Welcome to Ki Tavo
(When You Enter),
this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
This Torah portion will be read in synagogues around the
world during the Shabbat (Saturday) morning service. Please
read along with us and discover how precious you are to the
Lord.
Ki Tavo (When You
Enter)
Deuteronomy 26:1–29:9 (8); Isaiah 60:1–22; 1
Peter 2:1–25
“When you have entered [ki
tavo] the land the Lord your God is giving you as an
inheritance ... take some of the firstfruits of all that
you produce from the soil of the land the Lord your God is
giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place
the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for His name.” (Deuteronomy
26:1–2)

Last week, in Parasha Ki Tetze, God gave to the Israelites
74 of the 613 commandments found in the Torah—far more than
any other Torah portion.
These laws mostly seem to be concerned with protecting the
weaker members of society. They include the laws concerning
the beautiful captive, paying workers in a timely fashion, and
leaving a portion of the harvest in the field for the widow,
the fatherless, and the stranger.
This week, in Parasha Ki
Tavo (When You Enter), God instructs
Israel to bring the first-ripened
fruits (bikkurim) to the central
sanctuary once the Israelites have finally entered the Land He
promised to them.
Baskets of fruit in an Israeli market.
It must have been a relief for the children of
Israel to hear that their prolonged, 40-year journey through
the wilderness would finally be coming to an end.
They were about to cross over into the Promised Land.
In fact, the word in Hebrew for a Hebrew, Ivri,
comes from the root I-V-R,
which means to cross over.
In a spiritual sense, anyone who has crossed over into the
Kingdom of God is an Ivri.
For that reason, perhaps, Paul said that being a Jew is a
matter of having a circumcised heart more than circumcised
flesh. He wasn’t by any
means negating circumcision; he was emphasizing that to
cross over into the Kingdom of God, there must be an
inward change. Those who worship God,
worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
“But he is a Jew who is one
inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by
the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from
men, but from God.” (Romans 2:29)
The wilderness experience was so challenging and defining
that future rabbinic texts consider any physical or spiritual
desert as an enemy to be overcome. Our challenge is to walk
through the times of wilderness in our lives and be
transformed so that we can enter the Promised Land.
Crossing the Jordan (Bible Primer, 1919)
Ki Tavo promises that obedience to God will be
rewarded. These rewards include Divine protection,
prosperity, and blessings on families and future generations.
Disobedience and rebellion against God, however, result in
punishment; the Word of God lists 98 chilling admonitions that
take up half of this Parasha. These include diseases,
plagues, poverty, famine, slavery, and defeat by enemies.
For this reason, Parasha Ki Tavo has been called “the
warning chapter,” and the Torah reader, who traditionally
chants the Torah portion according to a sing-song pattern,
instead rushes through
the recital of dreaded curses in a hushed, fearful tone.
We need not look far to see that the Jewish People have
been blessed by the Almighty God as He promised; but they have
also done more than their fair share of suffering over the
centuries due to the curses of the law that come into play
because of sin (Deuteronomy 28:15–68).
Teviah, the father in the movie Fiddler on the Roof,
expressed this sentiment so humorously after his horse became
lame just before the Sabbath: “God, I know that we are Your
chosen people, but … couldn’t You choose someone else for a
change?”
There are some who follow Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the
Messiah), but believe that it is our lot in life to suffer
from these curses along with the rest of the world; however,
the Word of God tells us differently.
As covenant children of God, we are to enjoy His
blessings on our lives if we are walking in obedience to His
commandments.
"But Messiah has rescued us
from the curse pronounced by the law. When He was hung on
the tree, He took upon Himself the curse for our
wrongdoing." (Galatians 3:13)
Torah scroll and yad
Blessings Come from
Being a Blessing
One of the first acts of obedience that the Lord
asks of His people is to remove the firstfruits of our
increase, our tithe, the sacred portion—and to give
it to those who serve the Lord, as well as to the poor.
“Then say to the LORD your God: ‘I have removed from My house
the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the
foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, according to all You
commanded.’” (Deuteronomy
26:13)
If we are not obeying this command, then we have little
Biblical basis on which to expect God’s blessings on our
finances.
God promises
that if we obey Him in giving our tithe, He will rebuke the
devourer for our sakes and bless our finances.
"'Then
I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not
destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the
field cast its grapes,' says the LORD of hosts.” (Malachi
3:11)
"Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your
produce." (Proverbs 3:9)
But the reverse holds true as well: if we fail to give to
God the “hallowed portion” of our income, then we are breaking
covenant by “robbing God.”
When we fail to tithe, we come under a curse and give the
devourer free rein to work havoc and destroy our finances.
While Yeshua has
removed from us the curse of the law, He has not removed
from us the obligation to follow His example by living a
holy life. When we understand that we are walking in sin
in some area, we are to repent and return to Him.
By giving our tithe—the holy (kadosh) portion of our
income—removing it from our possession, we return to God in so
many ways and He returns to us.
“‘Return to Me, and I will return to you,’ says the LORD Almighty. But you ask, ‘How are we to
return?’ Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. But
you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ In tithes and offerings.
You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are
robbing Me.” (Malachi
3:7–9)

In Judaism, the giving of tzedakah
(charity) is considered such an important mitzvah (commandment)
that if someone does not fulfill this law, their lineage
actually becomes suspect.
Giving to the poor is an obligation in Judaism, a
duty that cannot be forsaken even by those who themselves
are in need. Some sages have said that tzedakah is
the highest of all commandments, equal to all of them
combined, and that a person who does not perform tzedakah is
equivalent to an idol worshiper.
This principle is
affirmed also in the Brit Chadashah (New Testament), which
emphasizes that if we don’t give when we see a brother in
material need, it is doubtful that the love of God truly
dwells within us.
“If anyone has material
possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on
him, how can the love of God be in him?”
(1 John 3:17)
(1 John 3:17)
Of course, the Lord rewards compassion and generosity. He
promises that when we give to the poor and needy, the widows
and orphans, He will pay us back for what we have given.
“Whoever is generous to the
poor lends to the LORD, and He will repay him for his deed.”
(Proverbs 19:17)
An elderly Israeli woman begs on the street to help make ends meet.
A Treasured
Possession
“And the LORD has declared
this day that you are His people, His treasured
possession as He promised, and that you are to
keep all His commands. He has declared that He will set you
in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations He has
made and that you will be a people holy to the LORD your
God, as He promised.” (Deuteronomy 26:18–19)
The Lord promises Israel in this Parasha that if
they keep His commandments, they will be "His treasured
possession.” This promise is also found in Exodus:
“Now
if you obey Me fully and keep My covenant, then out of all
nations you will be My treasured possession.
Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy
nation [mamlechet cohanim v’goee kadosh].”
(Exodus 19:5–6)
And although they have experienced many curses over the
generations, in the Haftarah (prophetic portion), the prophet
Isaiah tells Israel that
God in His favor and mercy will one day exalt them even in
the midst of much persecution and hatred against them:
“Whereas you have been
forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, I will make
you majestic forever, a joy from age to age.” (Isaiah
60:15)
A street in Israel (Photo credit: Go Israel / Noam Chen)
In the Brit Chadashah, all followers of Yeshua
are called God’s special people. Because of our
covenant with the Almighty God through the blood of Yeshua,
both Jew and Gentile together can know that they are God’s
most treasured possession.
“But
you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a
people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim
the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9)
In Hebrew, the word for special
treasure is segulah
(סגולה). The color purple in Hebrew is sagol (סגול), a
word that comes from the same root letters. Why? Purple is
the color of royalty!
As the Lord’s
segulah, we are clothed in sagol—the color of royalty.
We are children of the King and He is our Father. He values
and treasures us. There is no need to search for external or
superficial qualifications. This is simply our identity in
the Messiah!
Israeli woman prepares to open the Torah scroll.
We might look at ourselves and say, I don’t look
much like a treasure; I’m too short or too tall, too fat or
too thin, not pretty or smart enough to be a treasure.
We might check in with our emotions and say, I don’t feel
that I qualify to be called a treasure of God; I have so many
faults and weaknesses—I need to work on keeping my temper; I’m
not yet disciplined enough; I don’t witness enough—whatever we
perceive to be our weakness.
But as the apostle Paul says, we are to put no confidence
in the attributes of our flesh (Philippians
3:3). Certainly, if anyone could have qualified as a
treasure by the certificates on his wall and trophies on his
desk, it would have been the apostle Paul, who described
himself in this way:
“…
circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of
the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the
law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as
for righteousness based on the law, faultless.” (Philippians
3:5–6)
He considered himself without fault in the flesh and in
his keeping of the Torah; yet he put no value on all of these
external qualifications. Instead, he put his trust in the
person of the Messiah:
“But
whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake
of Messiah. What is more, I consider everything a loss
because of the surpassing worth of knowing Messiah Yeshua
Adonai (my Lord), for whose sake I have lost all things …
“I
consider them garbage, that I may gain Messiah and be found
in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from
the law, but that which is through faith in Messiah—the
righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.” (Philippians
3:7–9)
Open Torah scroll
Although Paul continued to keep the law
perfectly, he understood that his faultless performance was
not to be compared to the righteousness that comes from God
on the basis of faith.
And while our own performance may not be as flawless as
Paul’s, we must accept by faith that if we are empowered to
walk in Adonai's ways by His Spirit and are obedient, then we
are in truth His special treasure.
Despite our faults,
weaknesses and imperfections, the Lord loves and values
us, and we can say, “I am royalty—a child of the King of
Kings—the segulah of the Lord—a precious treasure!”
He values us because we are His covenant children and are
each created in His image and likeness. A spark of His divine
Shekhinah glory is within us.
If we have a $100 bill and it accidentally drops on the
ground, getting soiled, stepped on, crumpled, and bent—is it
worth any less than $100? No, it retains its value.
So too it is with us. Many of us, however, do not
understand our value.

Some of us have not always been treated like a
treasure. Perhaps parents, schoolmates, spouses,
or fellow Believers have not treated us with honor and
respect. We may have even been abused or mistreated terribly
by people, as if we are someone inconsequential.
But God does not see
us this way. Even if we have been broken; even if our
heart has been torn in two or our whole life shattered, we
are still a beautiful treasure to the Lord—“a crown of beauty and a royal diadem
in the hand of our God.” (Isaiah 62:3)
How do we care for treasures? We put them in special
places and guard them jealously, keeping them in a safe,
secure place. Can we even fathom the grief and wrath that God
feels when someone causes one of His segulah to suffer?
We need to leave these injustices and hurts in
the hands of the Lord who says He will vindicate us. Our
only choice is to forgive those who have hurt and mistreated
us.
A father sleeps with his newborn on his chest.
Sometimes, when we don't see ourselves as
valuable and worthy of respect, we send signals to others
that we are valueless and worthless. The result is often
that they will treat us as such.
Or our perception of how others treat us can prevent us
from moving forward in God's promises. For instance, when the
Israelites saw themselves as grasshoppers, they thought that
the giants in Canaan did as well!
But when we begin to value and respect ourselves in a
balanced and Godly manner, we will find more and more that the
people in our lives properly value and esteem us as well.
Part of our healing and recovery is a transformation in
the way we see ourselves—knowing our identity in the Messiah
as righteous, whole, precious, valuable. We receive these
precious attributes only through His Divine Covenant.
Let us enter into
everything that God has for us—our freedom from
condemnation, freedom from the curses, joy unspeakable,
and peace that passes all understanding.
All these and more have been given to us through the New
Covenant, bought with the precious blood of the sinless Lamb
of God, Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah)!
The vast majority of the Jewish People today do not yet
know Yeshua, nor do they understand the freedom from the curse
and the peace that passes all understanding that is available
through Him.
Time is short, but you can make a difference!
Shabbat Shalom from the

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.
Many have falsely said that God is finished with His
Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that
this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days,God is moving
among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
