#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to our study of this week’s Torah portion, Parasha Kedoshim (Holy Ones). Please read along with us and discover timeless Torah truths in this portion of Scripture that will be read in synagogues around the world this Shabbat (Sabbath). We know you will be blessed as you study this Torah portion with us. Enjoy!
Previously in parasha Acharei Mot we learned that it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul. This week’s Parasha Kedoshim (Holy Ones) begins with God's command that Israel be holy because God is holy. Holiness is something that each person is capable of, since a holy God would not demand from us something we are incapable of doing; nor would He judge us when we fail. Many deny our capacity for holiness and most do not know what it means to be holy.

Weekly Torah Portion: Kedoshim
"Be holy!" G-d commands us, "for I, HaShem your G-d, am holy." Just as G-d loves man, so are we to love our fellow man and treat him accordingly. This is how G-d expects us to fulfill His commandment to be holy. Not by stepping back away from the world, but by stepping in: be holy - be engaged!

Due to Yom HaZikaron, (Israel Memorial Day) and Yom Aztmaut, (Israel Independence Day), which took place this week, Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven were unable to record a new Temple Talk. We apologize, and promise a new Temple Talk next week!

Hillel Richman: The True Location of the Temple Mount: Fully Illustrated
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Archaeologist Hillel Richman, Senior Researcher and Past Supervisor, Ancient Jerusalem Sifting Project and Temple Mount Sifting Project, refutes the spurious theories claiming that the Temple Mount was in any other place other than Mount Moriah, with an emphasis on the 'City of David' theory, while providing incontrovertible historical and archaeological proof that the Holy Temple was, and will be, located on what is today referred to as the Temple Mount. Hillel's talk is accompanied by more than 100 photos, illustrations and charts. This teaching was recorded on 11/11, 2018, in Lubbock, Texas.
Rabbi Chaim Richman: The Dedication of the Third Temple
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Rabbi Chaim Richman, International Director of the Temple Institute of Jerusalem, speaks about the dedication of the Third Temple, and shares insights and progress towards the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in our time, and its meaning for all mankind. This teaching was recorded on 11/11, 2018, in Lubbock, Texas.
Special ... Rabbanit Rena Richman: On Suffering
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Unfortunately, or fortunately, as Rena will explain, suffering and crisis and tragedy is universal. Adversary punctuates every day of our lives. We cry out "where is G-d?" "Are we beloved?" A study of the lives of our patriarchs and matriarchs, sheds light on the purpose of suffering and the path it can open before us, leading us closer to G-d. This teaching was recorded on 11/11, 2018, in Lubbock, Texas.

The Coming Temple - Full Documentary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Filmed in the Old City of Jerusalem, this ground-breaking documentary investigates the research of renowned Biblical archaeologists, Bob Cornuke, David Sielaff and Earnest L. Martin who claim that Solomon and Herod's Temples never stood on the Haram al Sharif, also known as the Temple Mount. If they are right, then there is nothing to stop the Jewish people building their long awaited for Third Jewish Temple in the actual site where the Temples once stood.

Town Square in Suburb of Tel Aviv to be Named After Trump
by JNS
A town square in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petach Tikvah will be named for U.S. President Donald Trump, announced Mayor Rami Greenberg on Monday. The move comes “in gratitude to and appreciation to the president for his unwavering support of Israel,” said Greenberg in a statement. “We are making history here in the center of Petach Tikvah. We will celebrate this important event on American Independence Day. This is a great honor for Petach Tikvah,” said Greenberg, who mentioned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, other government officials and U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman would be invited to the naming. This isn’t the only area in Israel named after the U.S. president.

THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION
The Plot against the King of Jordan
by Yoni Ben Menachem, JCPA
King Abdullah II of Jordan confirmed that a plot aimed at undermining his rule failed. Apparently, the plot was in anticipation of Trump’s “deal of the century.” The Jordanian army fully supports the king. After the plot was uncovered, the king dismissed a senior director of the Jordanian secret service and some of his senior advisers.

Trump Should Push for “Islamic Reformation”
by Amil Imani
For decades, I delved into all sorts of Islamic books, read them and made notes of them. I contemplated, profoundly researched, spoke with some high-level Islamic scholars, tried to find a small hole, something that would lead me to believe that it is possible to either put the genie back into the bottle or, somehow, erase the elements of violence within Islam. But each time, I ran into a wall. How could this be? Like hundreds of others before me, I too realized, without violence, fear, anxiety and blood, Islam would slowly weaken and eventually die.

the LORD your God, am holy [kadosh]. Leviticus 19:1–2
Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Kedoshim - the Secret of Holiness !!!
Handwritten Hebrew text of a Torah scroll
Shabbat Shalom
Welcome to our study of this week’s Torah portion,
Parasha Kedoshim (Holy Ones).
Parasha Kedoshim (Holy Ones).
Please read along with us and discover timeless Torah truths in this portion of Scripture that will be read in synagogues around the world this Shabbat (Sabbath).
KEDOSHIM (Holy Ones)
Leviticus 19:1–20:27; Amos 9:7–9:15 (Ashkenazi); Ezekiel 20:2–20:20 (Sephardic); Hebrews 12:1–17
In the opening verse of this week's Torah Portion, God tells Moses:
“Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: 'Be holy [kedoshim] because I, the LORD your God, am holy [kadosh].'” (Leviticus 19:1–2)
Reading from the opened Sefer Torah (Torah scroll) using a yad (Torah
pointer) to follow along in order to protect the precious parchment and
handwritten text. The yad also allows others to see the text and ensure
that the Torah is read without mistakes.
Kedoshim (Holy Ones) begins with God's command that Israel be holy because God is holy.
Holiness is something that each person is capable of, since a holy God would not demand from us something we are incapable of doing; nor would He judge us when we fail.
Many deny our capacity for holiness and most do not know what it means to be holy.
Since the Hebrew word Kadosh and the related word Kedoshim (which refers to more than one person)holy, sanctified, or set apart, we understand from the opening verses of this Torah portion that a person set aside for the service of God is holy because God is holy.
The Hebrew worship song Hineh Chayai (Here Is My Life) highlights the deep longing that God places in the hearts of sincere Believers to be holy and pleasing to Him:
Here is my life; I give it to You (Hineh Chayai, ani noten l’cha)
My heart, my soul (Libi, nafshi)
May Your will be done in me (Aseh bi et r’tzoncha)
Make me holy (Aseh oti kadosh)
Holy before Your eyes (Kadosh lifnei eneicha)
Israeli Jewish Believers praise and worship God in a song service.
(YouTube capture)
But what does true holiness really look like? Most people have their own preconceived notions of holiness based on preferences, upbringing, and even systems of philosophy and ethics, etc.
But this song’s line “Make me holy before Your eyes” spotlights the truth that it is God who makes us holy.
Furthermore, it is His standard of holiness that counts.
Although Paul cautions Believers to “be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone“ (Romans 12:17), we must remember that not everyone has a handle on what is holy, since it stems from a relationship with God and a knowledge of His Word.
Esther Before Ahasuerus, by Giovanni Andrea Sirani
Holiness: Set Apart for His Purposes
God has made us kadosh (holy or set apart) for His special purposes. Sometimes those special purposes might not be evident to others.
For instance, we can imagine that Esther may have experienced some criticism as she prepared to come before the Persian king. In the eyes of some Jews, she might have looked far from holy — consenting to marry an uncircumcised pagan king?!
Unthinkable for a nice Jewish girl!
Unthinkable for a nice Jewish girl!
And, yet, God placed her in a royal position to save the Jewish People from destruction; and within those circumstances, she did her best to live up to that purpose.
Likewise, Jews who believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah are certainly not considered “holy” by our Orthodox Jewish brethren, but rather traitors to our people and our God.
Ultimately, even though we are commanded to avoid the appearance of evil, what's important is not how people see us, but how God sees us. We are each individuals and God treats us as such. So let us allow God to make us holy — before His eyes.
Still, that doesn’t mean we are to do our own thing and define for ourselves what holiness looks like. Today's Parasha reveals how we can sanctify ourselves according to God's holiness.
Jewish men dance in Israel with a new Torah scroll.
So the question remains: “How can we be holy?”
The key to this question is in these words: “And you shall walk in His ways.” (Deuteronomy 28:9)
We are to emulate the actions and character of God. Just as He is merciful, we are to be merciful; as He is patient, kind, and forgiving, so are we to be.
Yeshua (Jesus) emphasized that this was a guiding principle in His own life:
“Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” (John 5:19)
It naturally follows, then, that Yeshua instructed us to also imitate God:
"Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48)
The original Hebrew word in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) that is often translated “perfect” is tamim, which means complete, sound, blameless, or with integrity.
The Torah scroll is removed from the Ark during
Morning Prayer in a synagogue in Israel.
As the Psalmist David wrote,
“I will be careful to lead a blameless life [derech tamim] — when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart [tam l’babi].“ (Psalm 101:2)
A blameless life (derech tamim) and blameless heart (lev tam) refer to purity. While God does not expect us to be perfect as we define it — to get everything right the first time and every time, He does want us to walk in His ways — along paths of purity and holiness with a pure heart.
This Torah portion reveals that such perfection and purity naturally embrace integrity and reject deceptiveness.
"You shall not steal, do not lie, do not deceive one another." (Leviticus 19:11)
“My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with Me; the one whosewalk is blameless [b’derech tamim] will serve Me. No one who practices deceit will dwell in My house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in My presence.” (Psalm 101:6–7)
This, of course, includes holiness and integrity in commerce.
The people of God are not to follow the immoral or unjust codes of those who do not know God, but rather to deal honestly in all business affairs.
“Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity. Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt.” (Leviticus 19:35–36)
The Muristan market in Jerusalem in the Christian Quarter of the Old City
of Jerusalem: In Yeshua's (Jesus') time, the Muristan area was outside
the city walls. It is traditionally identified as the site of Golgotha where
the Romans executed Yeshua.
Those who profess to follow Yeshua should be especially careful not to deal deceitfully with others. Deceitful dealing is damaging not only to our personal reputation, but also God's reputation since Believers represent Him. Deceitful behavior is the opposite of holiness.
Most of us expect that religiously observant people will hold themselves to a higher standard of morality and integrity than secular people who do not follow God’s laws as a guide. Such is not always the case. As well, too often it turns out that there are many con artists pretending to be "religious" in order to gain another's trust.
As an example, one of our ministry workers once purchased a second-hand car in Israel without knowing much about the process. She unwisely trusted the man selling the car simply because he wore a kippah (head covering) and tzitzit (fringes) and identified himself as an observant Jew. His wife also wore a head covering, indicating her God-fearing nature.
The car, however, turned out to be a complete lemon! In the first month, it needed a total overhaul, including a new motor and transmission, costing several thousand shekels in repairs, and it still died an untimely death on the side of the road shortly afterward.
Despite all attempts to contact the man, he could not be found. His cell phone had been disconnected. He had dealt deceitfully with this woman, who is a single mother.
“Do not defraud or rob your neighbor.“ (Leviticus 19:13)
A woman drives on the mountain road to the Dead Sea: there are many
places in Israel where it would be extremely inconvenient to break down
on the side of the road. Some places are outright dangerous.
Holiness Is Love in Action
This Torah portion also provides other actions that are in keeping with holiness such as keeping the Sabbath, reverencing God’s sanctuary, showing respect for the elderly, honoring one's parents, providing for the poor, and not showing favoritism to the rich.
It forbids sexual immorality, injustice, and participation in any kind of sorcery, divination, magic, or witchcraft. Although interest in the occult is on the rise, Scripture forbids it:
“Do not practice divination or seek omens. … Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them.” (Leviticus 19:26, 31)
This Torah portion also reveals that holiness is not limited to actions, but also concerns attitude. It condemns hatred, bearing grudges, and taking revenge.
“Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself.” (Leviticus 19:17–18)
Of course, the last part of the above verse is one of the most well-known in the entire Bible.
Yeshua quoted that same verse when questioned as to which commandments were the most important in the entire Torah. He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart," and "love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:30–31)

Holiness and Judgment in the Haftarah (Prophetic Portion)
In this week’s Haftarah (Prophetic portion), the prophet Amos gives a scathing warning to the people of Israel of the impending divine judgments due to their immorality and deceptive business practices.
“Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth.” (Amos 9:8)
Israel transgressed by mistreating the poor, imposing unjust taxes, and taking bribes. (Amos 5:11–12)
And yet, God showed mercy and promised, "I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob." (Amos 9:8)
He also promised to one day restore the fallen tabernacle of David:
“In that day I will restore David’s fallen shelter — I will repair its broken walls and restore its ruins — and will rebuild it as it used to be, so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear My name.” (Amos 9:11–12)

The Secret of Holiness
The people of Israel suffered a terrible punishment due to sin. Still, God promised to bring them back to inhabit the rebuilt cities:
"I will bring my people Israel back from exile. They will rebuild ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruits. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them.” (Amos 9:14–15)
This amazing prophecy has come to pass in our very generation and is proof that, despite our tendency to stray from the path of holiness, there is still hope for us in God, for His mercies are everlasting. That is why we are not consumed.
As followers of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah), we are to make every effort to live our lives with integrity, operating in justice, mercy, and love — in the holiness that is defined in this Parasha — so that we may bring glory to the Name of God.
This is obviously a crucial issue, since the Book of Hebrews reminds us to “make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14)
The secret to holiness, then, is that when we draw close to the LORD, as we pursue an intimate relationship with Him, we discover His holiness. Only then can we live out our holy identity and purpose as the sons and daughters of the Almighty, Holy Lord.

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.
