Baruch Hashem Adonai
#ShabbatShalom - 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!


Last week, in Parasha Lech Lecha (Go Forth!), God commanded Abraham to leave his native land and go to the Land He promised. Parasha Vayera opens with the Lord appearing to Abraham as he sat in his tent door in the heat of the day. Jewish sages believe that this visit from the Lord occurred while Abraham convalesced after his circumcision at 99 years old. Abraham delighted in offering hospitality to these strangers.  Even though he didn't know who they were, he gave them his best! The Word of God promises that as we give, so shall it be given unto us in good measure. When we bless others, we plant seeds of blessing that will return into our own lives.

Weekly Torah Portion: Vayera

The attribute of chesed (loving-kindness), which Avraham possessed in abundance, endures when it has been tempered with the attribute of gevurah, (harsh judgement and fear of G-d), as it was for Avraham, when G-d commanded him to bind and offer
 "your son, your only one, whom you love, yea, Yitzchak." - Gen 22:2

Vayera (Genesis 18:1 - 22:24) Parashat Vayera is read on Shabbat: Marcheshvan 18, 5780 / November 16, 2019

The Winds of War vs. the Kindness of Abraham: Shining a Light in Dark Times

This week's Temple Talk features Rabbi Richman flying solo, with the technical assistance of Samara, as Yitzchak Reuven is away. This week's Torah portion of Parashat Vayera focuses on the life of our forefather Abraham, and the portion opens as Abraham bestows his famous hospitality on three 'strangers' who are actually Heaven-sent angels. Rabbi Richman provides fascinating insight into the life-changing lessons that we can learn from this story. This week's Temple Talk was recorded as missiles were falling here in Israel - over 50 in the past few hours - and Rabbi Richman explores the connection between the life of Abraham, and the values he stood for --  and the current situation in Israel in particular, and the world in general.

Assassination of Terrorist Mastermind Foretold in Torah
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

Al-Ata, the name of the Islamic Jihad leader the IDF killed on Tuesday appears in the Bible in a prophetically significant place. On Monday night, the IDF succeeded in eliminating Baha Abu Al-Ata, one of the most powerful leaders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in an airstrike deep inside Gaza. The Palestinians responded by raining down over 160 rockets and mortars on Israel with deadly projectiles striking civilian targets as far as Tel Aviv. Miraculously, no one was seriously wounded in the attack.

Rabbi: Blessing Trump as King Shows He is the Final President Before the Return of Davidic Dynasty
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

A rabbi recited a special blessing upon seeing Donald Trump which is only recited for actual kings. Though some rabbis questioned whether it was appropriate, one rabbi sees Trump's presidential woes as the precursor to the return of the true king. President Trump attended an Orthodox Jewish fundraising event at the Intercontinental Hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday evening. Four hundred Orthodox Jews participated in the event, contributing an estimated $100,000 each for the honor of paying a personal tribute to the Commander-in-Chief. Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson recited the blessing said upon seeing a non-Jewish ruler.

Todah Rabah - beloved Ted Belman writing from Jerusalem, Israel for 18+ years ... 
THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION 

The ‘deep state’ fought Israel and lost

Nikki Haley’s memoir, which reveals how State Department veterans and White House “adults”
sought to thwart the recognition of Jerusalem, puts the impeachment debate in context.

by Jonathan Tobin, editor in chief of JNS
But leaving aside issues surrounding Trump’s requests to Ukraine as being inappropriate or actually criminal, there is a broader question to be posed with respect to the complaints of those who believe that the core matter in this dispute is a president who neither respects nor listens to the experts. That’s why the release this week of a memoir by Nikki Haley,
the former U.S Ambassador to the United Nations, is so timely.

Common sense dictates that Liberman and Netanyahu should cut a deal
by Ted Belman

Although Liberman is pushing for a Unity Government without the “messianic right”, what he campainged on was the need for a new social contract between the religious and the secular. His demands were reasonable rather than outrageous. He repeated from time to time. “We will not concede on passing the ultra-Orthodox conscription law, in its original format,” he wrote. “We will not concede on [the demand to] repeal the mini-markets law. We will not concede on [demands for] public transportation on Shabbat. We will not concede on [demands for] civil marriage, and we will demand the inclusion of core curriculum studies in the ultra-Orthodox education system. These are our preconditions, and until we hear words in this spirit, there is nothing to talk about.” On the other hand Netanyahu’s wish list is that
1) he be the next PM, 2) that the government passes an immunity bill to protect him.

In Parasha Vayera, Abraham and Sarah were a model of hospitality and kindness. 
In the sweltering heat of the desert, their tent was a place of shade and sustenance. The memory of my overnight in a Bedouin tent will stay with me forever. The stars so close you can reach out and touch them… and the food.  Sweet tea, freshly made pita, tender meat kabobs and delicate seasoned rice. Almost makes you want to eat on the floor this week. Wherever you choose to enjoy this Bedouin-inspired feast, you will be dining like the angels.

The Lord appeared 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



Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Vayera - Receiving the Promises of God in His Timing !!!


Jerusalem - praying at the Wailing Wall next to a Torah ark, which houses a Torah scroll.
  
Shabbat Shalom 
 
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!
 
VAYERA (And He Appeared) Genesis 18:1–22:24; 2 Kings 4:1–37; Luke 1:26–38, 24:36–53
 
"The Lord appeared 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)
 

Abraham and the Three Angels,, by James Tissot
 
Last week, in Parasha Lech Lecha (Go Forth!), God commanded Abraham to leave his native land and go to the Land He promised.
 
Parasha Vayera opens with the Lord appearing to Abraham as he sat in his tent door in the heat of the day.
 
Jewish sages believe that this visit from the Lord occurred while Abraham convalesced after his circumcision at 99 years old.
 
Abraham delighted in offering hospitality to these strangers.  Even though he didn't know who they were, he gave them his best!
 
The Word of God promises that as we give, so shall it be
given unto us in good measure.
 
When we bless others, we plant seeds of blessing that
will return into our own lives.
 
“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25)
 

Orthodox Jewish man prays at the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem.
The white paper between the stones are prayer requests by worshipers.

Hospitality seems to be a lost art in some cultures,
especially in the West
where the pace of life doesn’t easily lend itself to making time for all that is involved in caring for people in our homes.
 
In Israel, people may drop over at any time, and you need to be prepared to offer them hospitality.  It is a cultural expectation in this society.
 
Even the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) encourages
us to show hospitality to strangers:  
“Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.” 
(1 Peter 4:9)
 
We might even entertain angels unawares!
 
The Book of Hebrews exhorts us to “let brotherly love continue.  Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.  (Hebrews 13:12)
 
And, in fact, the three men that Abraham entertained were angels.
 
Although the word used in Hebrew is anashim (men), it is clear from the context that two are angels and one is the Lord.
 

The Western (Wailing) Wall is located at the foot of the western side of the
Temple Mount, on which the Holy Temple stood in Yeshua's (Jesus) day.
  
Rabbinic Dietary Laws
“He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them.  While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.’” (Genesis 18:8)
 
The food that Abraham and Sarah prepared — bread, curd, milk, and a calf — seemed to be eaten together at the same meal
(Genesis 18:8).
 
However, in today’s Orthodox traditions, dairy and meat products must be separated.  This developed from the command in Deuteronomy 14:21:  "Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk."
 
This separation is an extra-Biblical tradition that observant Jews follow as a way of preventing the actual commandment in Deuteronomy from being broken.
 
For that reason, at kosher restaurants in Israel and around the world, meat and milk products are strictly separated, to the point where some Jewish restaurants do not serve any dairy products whatsoever, and some do not serve meat.

But here we read that even Abraham and the Lord Himself, as well as angels ate milk and meat together! 
 
The separation of milk and meat is only one of hundreds of extra-Biblical traditions or man-made rules (called Halakhah) that many Jews believe they must obey.
 
Some Rabbis will state (depending on which one you speak with) that Abraham waited either four hours, two hours, or 30 minutes between serving the milk and meat.  Still, Scripture is silent on this point.
 
Yeshua (Jesus) taught against following traditions that contradict the Word of God or would cause us to disobey it.
 
Nevertheless, Yeshua may have kept this tradition, since it does not contradict the Word of God, and failure to follow this expectation would have set Him apart in an entirely unfavorable way, making it difficult for people to receive Him.

Mo’adim – God’s Appointed Times and Promises Fulfilled
“Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time (mo’ed) next year and Sarah shall have a son.” (Genesis 18:14)
 
After sharing a meal together with Abraham, the angel made an outrageous promise to both him and Sarah: next year, at the appointed time (mo'ed), they would have a son.
 
The word mo’ed (or mo’adim in the plural form) is used to describe the appointed festival and remembrance times in Leviticus 23.  In English, these times are loosely translated as feasts of the Lord, but this is a poor translation, since one is actually a fast.
 
The mo’adim are special times that God has chosen or appointed for a specific purpose.  In this case, that purpose is the fulfillment of God's promise to give Abraham and Sarah a son.
 
Sarah's initial reaction to this promise was to laugh to herself because she was well beyond childbearing age.
 
To this God responded, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
(Genesis 18:14)
There may be promises that we have received from the Lord that perhaps seem impossible; however, we should be encouraged by the words of Yeshua who reminded us, “Everything is possible for him who believes.” (Mark 9:23)
 

The birth of Isaac and of Yeshua were both at set times (mo'adim).
 
In the Brit Chadashah (New Testament),
we see another important mo’ed or set time.
 
An angel came to a young, Jewish woman named Miryam (Mary) to tell her that she would conceive without having known a man intimately, by the power of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).
 
Furthermore, her son would be called Yeshua (Salvation), and He would reign eternally over the house of Jacob/Israel from the throne of His father David.
 
While this may seem outside the realm of possibility, the angel told Miryam that “nothing will be impossible with God.”  (Luke 1:37)
 
The same God who parted the Red Sea can truly make a way where there is no way, if we will only believe.  But it must happen in His way and His time, not our way on our schedule.  Our job is to wait in hope, faith, and expectation until the set time (mo’ed) arrives.
 
And we can also look forward to yet another set time (mo’ed) when God — who allowed a temporary blindness to come upon His Jewish People so that the fullness of the Gentiles may come in — will remove that blindness.  Then all Israel will be saved.
 
How we long for that day!

Further on in this Torah portion, we read that Sarah does give birth to a son with Abraham as the father (who is now 100 years old) at the set time (mo’ed) of which God had spoken (Genesis 21:1–3).
 
Abraham named him Isaac, which means laughter, for Sarah said,
God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me. ... Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”           (Genesis 21:6–7)
Let us not nullify the promises of God in our own lives through unbelief but be fully convinced that God will bring forth His promises, even those that seem not only unlikely but absurd, in His appointed time.
“He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” (Romans 4:2021)
