Welcome to Vayera (And He Appeared), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
We know you will be blessed as you follow along with us in this
portion of Torah that will be read in synagogues around the world
during the Shabbat (Saturday) service. Enjoy !
In last week’s Parasha, Lech Lecha, God sealed His Covenant with Abram,
which promised the Land to his descendants as an eternal heritage.
This week’s Parasha contains more angelic activity than any of the other Parashot.
Angels appear to Abraham as men, bringing messages to him and Sarah of future
events to come. They also save Lot from a hostile mob, lead Hagar to water for her
son, and comfort her with the promise of Ishmael becoming a great nation.
Later in the Parasha, the angels also prevent Abraham from sacrificing his son, Isaac.
This week’s Parasha is entitled vayera (וירא), which means appeared. It is called that
because Abraham receives in the plains of Mamre in Hebron three mysterious guests.

Avraham dedicated his entire life to sharing the good news that there is One G-d in the world, and that all we have comes from Him. Avraham sought out wayfarers and passers-by, invited them in, showered them with kindness and insisted that his guests give thanks only to G-d, Creator of the world.

A Time for Good to be Revealed
Plain Talk About the American Election Results, Israeli Politics, and the One G-d of Israel
This week's Torah portion of parashat Va'yera reveals the true nature of Abraham's very essence, the personification of the middah (attribute) of chesed, lovingkindness. This week's edition of Temple Talk finds Rabbi Chaim Richman manning the microphone alone, as Yitzchak Reuven enjoys a well-deserved vacation. Rabbi Richman shares some amazing lessons about Abraham, as well as straight talk about the American election results as well as some insights into the Israeli political scene, especially with regards to the 'legalization' of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, Israel's Biblical heartland, currently viewed by the international community as 'obstacles to peace.' What does the One G-d of Israel have to say about building communities in the Land of Israel? It's all in this week's Torah portion, and elucidated on this week's edition of Temple Talk!

Supermoon, Trump’s Win and the Clash of Moral Values at the End of Days
by Dr. Rivkah Lambert Adler
The recent supermoon phenomenon within a week of Donald Trump’s election could signal a divine and fundamental shift in moral values which will bring the Final Redemption closer, End of Days expert Rabbi Pinchas Winston told Breaking Israel News. Rabbi Winston believes that there is a culture war going on between liberal and conservative values, that God is orchestrating the ascension of conservative values and that the appearance of the supermoon may be an acknowledgement of this. The rabbi was careful to warn that, though his ideas are based on his deep Torah scholarship, they are still speculative. “We’re always guessing, because without prophecy we can’t know for sure.” Nevertheless, he said, it is important to pay attention to the bigger picture of recent events, including the election of Trump and the supermoon. “We’ve been watching a counter-intuitive trend,” he noted. “We saw it first in Israel when Netanyahu won” in 2015, despite polls which predicted victory for the left. More recently, Brexit also revealed a surprising lean towards more conservative values.[...]

THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION
Cotton: No Thaw With Russia Until Putin Adopts ‘New Set of Boundaries’
Senator rumored as possible choice for defense secretary
by Morgan Chalfant - NEW BEACON
Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) said Thursday that the United States should not improve relations with Russia unless Russian President Vladimir Putin adopts “a new set of boundaries.”
Cotton made the remarks at a national security summit hosted by Defense One after Republican President-elect Donald Trump expressed a desire to have a “strong and enduring relationship” with Moscow during a phone call with Putin. “To improve our relations with Russia, what needs to happen foremost is Vladimir Putin needs to have a new set of boundaries,” Cotton told an audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday when asked whether he would be in favor of improving relations with Russia or lifting sanctions on Moscow imposed in response to its annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014.

Trump Takes Charge
Column: And happy days are here again for Republicans
by Matthew Continetti - FREE BEACON
The liberal hysteria over Donald Trump’s election as president extends to coverage of his transition. “Firings and Discord Put Trump Transition Team in a State of Disarray,” says the New York Times. “Intraparty fratricide looms over the GOP,” says a columnist for the Washington Post. “The GOP Civil War Is Just Beginning,” says a writer for Slate.
They couldn’t be more wrong. While hardly anyone—including the campaign of President-elect Trump—expected this outcome to the 2016 election, the Republicans I’ve spoken to over the last week are unified, enthusiastic, and eager to pursue Trump’s agenda. Giddiness is the attitude toward the prospect of GOP control of the White House, the Congress, and the courts. Republicans are ecstatic as they look at House Democrats in turmoil, 13 red-state Senate Democrats up for reelection in 2018, a state and local Democratic Party in ruins, and liberal elites urging the party to double-down on the identity politics that have brought them to this ominous point.

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Vayera - Child of the Covenant and Inheritance !!!
Hebron, where
the Lord appeared to Abraham.
Shabbat
Shalom
Welcome to Vayera
(And He Appeared),
this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
This is the portion of Torah that will be read in
synagogues around the world during the Shabbat (Saturday)
service. Please read along with us and enjoy!
VAYERA (And He
Appeared)
Genesis 18:1–22:24; 2 Kings 4:1–37; Hebrews 11:1–40
“The LORD appeared [vayera] to
Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting
at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.” (Genesis
18:1)
In last week’s Parasha, Lech Lecha, God sealed His Covenant
with Abram, which promised the Land to his descendants as an
eternal heritage.
This week’s Parasha contains more angelic activity
than any of the other Parashot. Angels appear to
Abraham as men, bringing messages to him and Sarah of future
events to come. They also save Lot from a hostile mob, lead
Hagar to water for her son, and comfort her with the promise
of Ishmael becoming a great nation.
Later in the Parasha, the angels also prevent Abraham from
sacrificing his son, Isaac.
This week’s Parasha is entitled vayera (וירא),
which means appeared. It
is called that because Abraham receives in the plains of
Mamre in Hebron three mysterious guests.
Hebron is about
19 miles south of Jerusalem.
It seems that God is
visiting Abraham while he is convalescing
from his Brit Milah
or circumcision, which
had occurred three days prior. Despite his discomfort,
Abraham graciously attends to his guests.
Abraham, in welcoming the three men, is demonstrating more
than just good manners. This attitude of open hospitality has
saved many a nomad’s life in the harsh desert climate.
In fact, this custom of welcoming
the stranger or hachnasot
orchim is one of two Jewish mitzvot
(commandments) still practiced today that originated in God’s
visit to Abraham. The other is bikkur
cholim or visiting the sick.
We can be assured that God sees when we are ill, and He is
present to comfort and minister to us. Furthermore, angels are still active today
to protect, save, help, warn, and encourage us.
“The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear Him, and rescues them.” (Psalm
34:7)
Abraham and the Angels, by Aert de Gelder
The Brit Milah
The Brit Milah
(covenant of circumcision) is Judaism’s oldest
ritual. It is the only mitzvah (commandment) that was carried
out communally by the Israelites before entering the Promised
Land. In fact, God commanded Joshua to take flint
knives in order to circumcise their sons because this
covenant had not been exercised during the desert
wanderings.
“Then
Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their
place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not
been circumcised on the way. So it was, when they had
finished circumcising all the people, that they
stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, ‘This day I have rolled
away the reproach of Egypt from you.’”
(Joshua 5:7–9)
(Joshua 5:7–9)
The Talmud (Jewish Oral Law) considers the milah (from the
verb la’mul meaning
to circumcise) to be equal
to all the other 612 commands.
We can see this mathematically in Jewish gematria
(numerical symbolism). Since Hebrew letters are also numbers,
the Hebrew word brit,
meaning covenant, has a
numerical value of 612
(bet = 2; reish = 200; yud = 10; tav = 400).
(bet = 2; reish = 200; yud = 10; tav = 400).
So when brit (612) is
combined with the singular commandment of the milah in Brit
Milah, it equals 613 — in other words, the full number of the
commandments in the Torah.
Reading from the Torah scroll
While anyone can be circumcised simply for health reasons,
when a Jewish person fulfills this commandment in order to be
in covenant with God, it elevates the circumcision as an act
of holiness. The Brit Milah represents our bond with
Adonai.
For this reason, it is considered by some people as
something uniquely Jewish; circumcision
is the sign of the covenant between God and Abraham and
His descendants forever. In ancient
times, Gentiles were, therefore, referred to as “the
uncircumcised ones.”
For instance, when David referred to the giant Goliath, he
called him an ”uncircumcised Philistine.”
“For who is this uncircumcised
Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living
God?” (1 Samuel 17:26)
What difference would it make to David and Israel whether
or not Goliath’s foreskin was still intact?
David was not announcing the state of Goliath’s physical
condition; rather, he was emphasizing the fact that this giant
was not in holy covenant with the God of Israel.
In other words, David was proclaiming a message of faith
that God would uphold the covenant and protect Israel. It
might have been challenging not to look on the strength and
prowess of his enemy, but David overcame and, instead, looked
to the strength and faithfulness of the God of Israel.
Goliath Laughs at David, by Ilya Repin
Although the commandment to the Jewish People to
circumcise their sons on the 8th day still holds true, the
Torah tells us that God will circumcise our hearts
and those of our descendants — to love and obey Him when we
come back into the Land:
“The LORD your God will
circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants,
so that you may love Him with all your heart and with all
your soul, and live.” (Deuteronomy 30:6)
The ancient Hebrew prophet, Jeremiah, also called the
Jewish People to circumcise their hearts:
“Circumcise yourselves to the
LORD; remove the foreskin of your hearts, O men of Judah and
inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest My wrath go forth like fire,
and burn with none to quench it, because of the evil of your
deeds." (Jeremiah 4:4)
The issue of
circumcision extends far beyond the physical and becomes a
crucial matter of the heart.
The circumcision of the heart is not done with human hands
but is only accomplished by the faithful working of the Ruach
HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) in the lives of those who follow Yeshua
(Jesus).
“In Him you were also
circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by
putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the
circumcision of Messiah.” (Colossians 2:11)
An Israeli grandfather holds his grandchild after the Brit Milah.
For the Sake of Ten —
The Minyan and the Tithe
As a man in covenant with God, it seems that Abraham is
privy to some insider information.
In this Parasha, Abraham learns of God’s intention
to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of their sin.
In pleading for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham,
whose name means father of a multitude of nations, lives up to
his name by acting as a father who pities his children. He
asks God if His judgment would be stayed if He found 50
righteous men there.
If 50 were not found, Abraham pleads for the sake of 40,
then 30, then 20, and finally 10. God promises that for the
sake of 10 righteous, He will not destroy the cities.
Ten is an important number corresponding to the tenth
Hebrew letter, yud (י),
which was originally pronounced yad,
meaning arm and hand.
So, we can understand
that in Hebrew, the number 10 is a reference to the hand
of God or arm of the Lord, which
represents salvation (Psalm 60:5 and Isaiah 53:1),
authority (Isaiah 40:10–11), power and strength (Isaiah
28:2), judgment (Exodus 15:11–12),
and mercy (Psalm 17:7).
and mercy (Psalm 17:7).
“Surely the arm of the LORD is
not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.” (Isaiah
59:1)
The Departure of Lot and His Family from Sodom, by Peter Paul Rubens
Ten is so recognized in Judaism that a minimum of 10 Jewish men, called a minyan, must
be gathered to hold religious services in the synagogue.
Of course, we can see examples in Scripture where
the number 10 is associated with power and covenant.
God sent Ten Plagues on Egypt to show His power to the
Egyptians and rescue the Israelites. He wrote the Ten
Commandments on tablets of stone for the Israelites so that
they would know how to live holy lives protecting their
covenant relationship with Him.
Ten is also a number of testing. Moses sent out 12 spies
to spy out the Land of Israel and 10 came back with an evil
report. In the wilderness, the children of Israel tested God
10 times (Numbers 14:22). Jacob’s wages were changed
10 times by Laban. Daniel and his friends were tested for 10
days in Babylon.
Ten also can represent our covenant obligations.
A tenth of our income is also the required portion to give to
the Lord. This is also a test. Every time we earn money, the
test is to see whether or not we will bring the first 10% to
God. It is really a test of our heart —
where is our first loyalty?
Moreover, this is the
only place in the Bible where God invites us to TEST HIM !
“‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse,
that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,’ says the LORD Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the
floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that
there will not be room enough to store it.’”
(Malachi 3:10)
(Malachi 3:10)
Tithing — bringing a full tenth of our income into the
house of the Lord — is a test. Our checkbook register shows
our hearts — what we do with our money is a test.
Also for the sake of ten, a tenth of our income, God
promises to rebuke the devourer. He will not allow
destruction of our material goods for the sake of a tenth.
“I will prevent pests from
devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not
drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD
Almighty.
(Malachi 3:11)
(Malachi 3:11)

When we find that our profits are being devoured and there
is not enough to meet the need, it is time to check if we are
faithfully tithing.
When we tithe, we are in reality just bringing to
God what belongs to Him. That is why Scripture
uses the word “bring” and not “give.” If something does not
belong to us, it is not ours to keep or give away.
The tithe does not belong to us; it belongs to the Lord.
For instance, to find in Scripture where people failed to
bring the tithe and suffered the consequences, we need look no
further than Jericho, the first city Israel conquered after
crossing the Jordan to the Promised Land.
Jericho was the “tithe” of all the other cities because it
was the first one conquered. God
told Israel not to take any of the spoils of Jericho; but
one man disobeyed. Achan roamed the rubble at night,
stole money and other spoils, and hid them under his tent.
Therefore, Israel had no victory until God exposed the sin,
and Achan along with his family and all his belongings were
destroyed.
“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 3:8–9)
A Jewish child inputs coins into a special box called a pushke for charity.
Traditionally, Jewish people give at least ten percent of their income.
Children of Promise
While entertaining angels, Abraham learns that Sarah, who
is 90, would give birth to a son, despite her old age.
In fact, Abraham is 100 years old when Isaac was born.
They call him Yitzchak (Isaac) from the Hebrew word for laugh — tzchok, because
Sarah laughed when she overhead what the angel prophesied.
But when Yitzchak is born, that laughter turns from
mockery to joy and delight. “Sarah said, ‘God has brought me
laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with
me.’” (Genesis 21:6)
This contrasts the birth of Ishmael, which brought strife
and sorrow, although Abraham obviously loved him deeply, and
God had promised to make him into a nation.
Things birthed of the flesh most often bring strife and
frustration, but when the Spirit of God gives birth to
something in our lives, it brings joy and laughter, not only
to us but to others as well.
God clearly tells
Abraham and Sarah that although he will bless Ishmael and
make him into a great nation, the covenant will pass
through the lineage of Isaac. Isaac will
inherit the Promised Land.
To protect Isaac and the covenant, Ishmael, son of the
bondwoman, Hagar, is sent away with his mother into the
wilderness where he will learn to foster a relationship with
God by calling out to Him on his own.
"God heard the boy crying, and
the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to
her, 'What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God
has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift
the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him
into a great nation.'” (Genesis 21:17–18)
Hagar and Ishmael in the Desert, by Giuseppe Zola
Still, Abraham’s faith is tested in a much deeper
way. In Chapter 22, of this Parasha, God calls him
to offer Isaac as a sacrifice.
“Take now your son, your only
son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of
Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of
the mountains which I will tell you of.” (Genesis
22:3)
From the beginning, Abraham trusted God, despite the
enormity of God’s command. Perhaps, one of the ways he had
been schooled in that trust was the sending away of his son
Ishmael.
That trust is evident when Isaac asked, "Where is the lamb (seh)?" Abraham told him
that God will provide the Lamb. Yet, for the sake of Isaac,
God provided not a lamb, but a ram
(ayil). (Genesis 22:13)
Because of Abraham’s faith and trust in God, He provided a
substitute sacrifice for Isaac. Likewise, God Himself provided a
substitute sacrifice for the sins of all who share in the
faith of Abraham.
“For God so loved the world
that He gave His son, His only son (whom He loved) so that
whoever would believe on Him would not perish but have
eternal life.” (John 3:16)
We long for the day when all Israel will be saved, as
Scripture promises:
"Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting." (Isaiah 45:17)
Partner with bring the Word of Truth to the Jewish People
in these end times.
“‘Bring the
whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may
be food in My house. Test Me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the
floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that
there will not be room enough to store it.’” (Malachi 3:10)

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.
