Shlach-Bamidbar

Shlach- Bamidbar >

Kami tinggalkan di parshah minggu lalu dengan orang-orang Yahudi yang bepergian melalui padang gurun.

Pada awal minggu ini, kami membaca, Anak-anak Israel, meminta Moshe untuk meminta Hashem agar beberapa pemimpin masuk dan memeriksa tanah, sehubungan dengan mencari tahu fakta berbeda tentang tanah.

Ini sudah menunjukkan kurangnya kepercayaan pada Hashem karena mereka telah dijanjikan untuk memasuki tanah yang mengalir dengan susu dan madu, namun mereka menginginkan bukti (Bamidbar 13: 3)!

Dua belas orang dipilih untuk memasuki tanah Israel sebagai mata-mata, satu pemimpin dari masing-masing suku.

Di antara kedua belas pemimpin ada dua orang yang menjadi sangat terkenal di Taurat ketika memasuki tanah Israel.

Yosua, dari suku Efraim dan Calev yang berasal dari suku Yehuda.

Faktanya, kedua belas mata-mata memasuki tanah sebagai individu yang layak dan saleh (Bamidbar 13: 4-15).

Moshe menginstruksikan mata-mata untuk menyelidiki kesuburan dan produktivitas lahan.

Dia juga ingin tahu apakah orang kafir Iyov (Ayub) yang benar masih hidup, karena pahalanya bisa menjadi perlindungan bagi musuh.

Faktanya tepat sebelum mata-mata masuk, Iyov meninggal, itulah sebabnya itu adalah periode pagi di tanah Israel dan orang-orang kesal, pada gilirannya tidak ada penduduk yang memperhatikan mata-mata yang datang (Bamidbar 14: 9 Rashi) .

The twelve spies entered the land of Israel and spent a total of forty days wandering around the land.

Unfortunately ten of the twelve spies became more and more corrupt during their stay in Israel.

They became corrupt as they knew that if they brought back a favourable report, it would result in an immediate entry into the land of Israel, they knew that after Eldad and Maidad prophesized that Moshe would die and Joshua would lead them in to the land of Israel, when the time was to come, that they would potentially lose their jobs as the leaders.

In the book of Kings, we learned how Yeravim Ben Navot became corrupt and instituted a Golden Calf as he became the head of the Ten tribes, in turn stopping the members of his kingdom to go to the Temple (Melachim I 12:25-33).

Joshua dan Calev menolak untuk pergi dengan rencana memfitnah mata-mata yang lain tentang membual buruk tanah.

Calev bahkan pergi berdoa di Gua Makpaila (Sota 34b), di Chevron, tempat para leluhur dikuburkan bersama istri mereka bersama Adam dan Chava.

Mata-mata kembali ke padang gurun, pada malam 9th Av (Tisha B'AV).

Para mata-mata melanjutkan untuk menyampaikan pidato yang dipersiapkan dengan cermat yang diberikan kepada semua orang Yahudi dan orang banyak campuran di padang gurun.

Mereka memulai dengan mengaitkan sedikit kebenaran tentang tanah, ditindaklanjuti oleh banyak informasi yang memfitnah.

Mata-mata itu menceritakan bahwa itu adalah tanah yang mengalir dengan susu dan madu, mereka kemudian menceritakan berapa banyak raksasa yang tinggal di sana, menceritakan bagaimana ukuran buah-buah itu berukuran sangat besar, mereka berteriak bagaimana tanah itu tak terkalahkan dan bagaimana penduduknya lebih berkuasa dari orang Yahudi (Bamidbar 13: 27-29).

Ini merupakan laporan yang memfitnah dan buruk.

Mereka juga tidak belajar tentang dosa Miriam, yang merupakan Lashon Hara, yang kami pelajari pada akhir minggu terakhir membaca Behaalotacha (Bamidbar 12: 1-2).

Mata-mata bahkan berteriak bahwa mereka seperti belalang dibandingkan dengan orang Kanaan.

Ini adalah sikap yang sangat negatif.

Dalam hidup, seorang Yahudi seharusnya tidak pernah memandang diri mereka sendiri karena mereka bukan siapa-siapa, kita adalah orang-orang pilihan Hashem dan harus berjuang untuk tujuan-tujuan besar sambil tetap menjaga Torah !!

Laporan jahat di tanah itu diberikan oleh sepuluh dari dua belas suku, bagaimanapun, dengan gagah berani,

Calev datang dan membela tanah, menyatakan betapa menakjubkannya itu dan bagaimana mereka harus memiliki keyakinan penuh pada Hashem dan Moshe dan datang dan menaklukkan tanah! Orang-orang Yahudi tidak mendengarkan dan mulai menangis ketakutan,

mereka bahkan memiliki pipi untuk mengeluh dan menangis bahwa mereka ingin kembali ke Mesir.

Pada gilirannya, Hashem menjadi sangat marah dan mengutuk sepuluh mata-mata menjadi hukuman mati seketika.

Orang-orang Yahudi lainnya juga dihukum, terutama semua pria yang berusia antara dua puluh-puluh pada saat mereka memasuki padang belantara, akan meninggal selama waktu empat puluh tahun di padang pasir (Bamidbar 14: 20-25)!

Namun demikian, Yosua, Calev dan semua orang Lewi tidak termasuk dalam keputusan itu.

Semua ini terjadi pada tanggal sembilan Av, hari yang kemudian menjadi hari kesedihan dalam sejarah Yahudi (Taanit 29a).

Dalam kitab Eichah (Ratapan) itu menyatakan 'Dia (orang-orang Yahudi) akan menangis dan menangis di malam hari (Eichah 1: 2).

Ayat ini mengacu pada tragedi yang terjadi pada tanggal 9 bulan Av.

Kuil Pertama dan Kedua dihancurkan pada tanggal 9 April.

Pemberontakan Bar Kokhba melawan Roma terjadi pada hari ini.

Shimon bar Kokhba terbunuh dan kota Betar dihancurkan (Taanit 28-29).

Orang-orang Yahudi bertobat dan bahkan beberapa anggota bersikeras memasuki tanah Israel tanpa izin, yang mengakibatkan kematian mereka karena beberapa orang Amalekim dan Kanaan menyerang mereka (Bamidbar 14: 40-45).

Hashem memberi tahu Moshe untuk menginstruksikan semua orang Yahudi tentang persembahan tepung dan persembahan anggur (menuangkan anggur) (Bamidbar 15: 1-16).

Penawaran anggur yang dituangkan (Sucah 48-49) terdiri dari ukuran anggur, bervariasi dengan jenis pengorbanan hewan yang ditawarkan dengannya, baik dalam bentuk persembahan perdamaian atau tawaran ketinggian.

Anggur ini dituangkan ke lubang drainase di dasar altar.

Ketika mereka menuangkan anggur, orang-orang Lewi akan bernyanyi pada waktu yang bersamaan.

Taurat kemudian melanjutkan dan menginstruksikan kita pada mitzvah dari 'Challa,' hukum memisahkan sebagian dari adonan (Bamidbar 14: 17-21).

Mereka sebenarnya hanya diwajibkan dalam mitzvah ini ketika memasuki tanah Israel bertahun-tahun kemudian.

Mitzvah membutuhkan satu untuk memisahkan bagian dari adonan yang dapat dibuat dari lima jenis biji-bijian yang berbeda; gandum, barley, dieja, oat atau rye (Menachot 70).

Ukuran 'Omer' harus dipisahkan dan kemudian diberikan kepada Kohen sebagai hadiah.

Parshah kemudian menceritakan kisah tentang seorang pria yang menodai Shabbat selama tahun pertama di padang gurun.

Rabi Akiva berpendapat bahwa orang yang menodai perintah yang berharga ini diberi nama 'Tzelafchad.'

Kami belajar banyak tentang putri pria ini di Parshat Pinchus.

Dia mencemarkan Shabbat dengan niat baik, untuk mengajar semua orang di padang gurun, jika mereka mencemarkan Shabbat setelah diperingatkan, mereka akan dihukum dengan hukuman mati 'rajam'.

Jadi dia dengan sengaja menodai Shabbat untuk mengajarkan pelajaran ini kepada semua orang di padang gurun (Shabbat 96-97 / Bava Batra 119 / Bamidbar 15: 32-36)).

The Parshah kemudian menghubungkan mitzvah dari 'Tzitzit.' Kata 'Tzitzit' berarti 'fringes.'

Mengacu pada benang yang harus dibuat tersimpul sesuai dengan spesifikasi halachic, dan melekat pada empat guntingan yang terpojok (Menachot 42-43).

Tujuan Tzitzit adalah bahwa seorang Yahudi harus melihatnya, mengingat Hashem dan berhenti dari dosa.

Nilai numerik Ibrani dari kata 'Tzitzit' adalah 600 dan lebih jauh lagi jika kita menambahkan angka ini ke delapan utas fitur dan lima knot di setiap sudut, kita menyamakan dengan jumlah total 613.

Ini menyinggung fakta bahwa memakai ini garmen berharga, membuktikan 613 mitzvot.

Dikatakan, siapa pun yang berhati-hati untuk mengamati mitzvah Tzitzit di masa depan akan memiliki 2800 pegawai sesuai perintahnya, seperti yang dinyatakan nabi Zecharia dalam kitab Zakharia (8.23), 'Pada masa itu, sepuluh orang dari semua tujuh puluh bahasa akan memegangnya dan melayani untuk setiap sudut. '

Minggu ini Haftorah diambil dari Bab 2 dari kitab Yosua (Yosua 2: 1-24).

Haftorah menceritakan bagaimana, sebelum orang Yahudi memasuki tanah Israel, mereka mengirim mata-mata, dalam sebuah misi yang jauh lebih berhasil daripada apa yang terjadi di Parshah ini.

Mata-mata di Haftorah ini, adalah Pinchus dan Calev.

Mereka tinggal di rumah Rachav; dia memberi tahu para mata-mata bahwa hati orang-orang Kanaan mencair karena takut dengan kedatangan orang Yahudi yang akan datang.

Orang-orang Yahudi memasuki tanah Israel di bawah Yosua, dan setelah tujuh tahun perang yang sukses, mereka menang dan orang-orang Yahudi menetap di tanah.Amen

Diet Law by Melanie Frank

Diet law - what does the scriptures saying?

1. Veganism/Vegetarism:

And Elohim said, “See, I have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed, to you it is for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping creature on the earth, in which there is a living being, every green plant is for food.” And it came to be so.
Berĕshith (Genesis) 1:29‭-‬30 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/gen.1.29-30.TS2009

2. 1st law to don't eat the fruit of knowledge of good and evil and the consequences when we break it:

And יהוה Elohim commanded the man, saying, “Eat of every tree of the garden, but do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it you shall certainly die.”
Berĕshith (Genesis) 2:16‭-‬17 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/gen.2.16-17.TS2009

2. Slain of the first animal - first sacrificed animal:

And יהוה Elohim made coats of skin for the man and his wife and dressed them.
Berĕshith (Genesis) 3:21 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/gen.3.21.TS2009

3. Noach - allowed to eat animals BUT forbid of eating blood:

“And the fear of you and the dread of you is on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea – into your hand they have been given. “Every creeping creature that lives is food for you. I have given you all, as I gave the green plants. “But do not eat flesh with its life, its blood.
Berĕshith (Genesis) 9:2‭-‬4 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/gen.9.2-4.TS2009

4. Law for the appointed feasts of YAH:

Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this new moon each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb. ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats. ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same new moon . Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall slay it between the evenings. ‘And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts. ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire. ‘And this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Pĕsaḥ of יהוה. ‘And I shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on that night, and shall strike all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones of Mitsrayim I shall execute judgment. I am יהוה. ‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Mitsrayim. ‘And this day shall become to you a remembrance. And you shall celebrate it as a festival to יהוה throughout your generations – celebrate it as a festival, an everlasting law. ‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be cut off from Yisra’ĕl. ‘And on the first day is a set-apart gathering, and on the seventh day you have a set-apart gathering. No work at all is done on them, only that which is eaten by every being, that alone is prepared by you. ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Matzot, for on this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law. ‘In the first month , on the fourteenth day of the new moon , in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the new moon in the evening. ‘For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, that same being shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, whether sojourner or native of the land. ‘Do not eat that which is leavened – in all your dwellings you are to eat unleavened bread.’ ” And all the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did.
Shemoth (Exodus) 12:3‭-‬20‭, ‬50 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/exo.12.3-50.TS2009

5. Clean and unclean animals:

And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying to them, “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘These are the living creatures which you do eat among all the beasts that are on the earth: ‘Whatever has a split hoof completely divided, chewing the cud, among the beasts, that you do eat. ‘Only, these you do not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have a split hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you; and the rabbit, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you; and the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you; and the pig, though it has a split hoof, completely divided, yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean to you. ‘Their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you do not touch. They are unclean to you. ‘These you do eat of all that are in the waters: any one that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas or in the rivers, that you do eat. ‘But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, all that move in the waters or any living being which is in the waters, they are an abomination to you. ‘They are an abomination to you – of their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you abominate. ‘All that have not fins or scales in the waters are an abomination to you. ‘And these you do abominate among the birds, they are not eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture, and the hawk, and the falcon after its kind, every raven after its kind, and the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind, and the little owl, and the fisher owl, and the great owl, and the white owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. ‘All flying insects that creep on all fours is an abomination to you. ‘Only, these you do eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth. ‘These of them you do eat: the arbeh- locust after its kind, and the solam- locust after its kind, and the ḥargol- locust after its kind, and the ḥagaḇ- locust after its kind. ‘But all other flying insects which have four feet are an abomination to you. ‘And by these you are made unclean, anyone touching the carcass of any of them is unclean until evening, and anyone picking up part of the carcass of any of them has to wash his garments, and shall be unclean until evening. ‘Every beast that has a split hoof not completely divided, or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Anyone who touches their carcass is unclean. ‘And whatever goes on its paws, among all the creatures that go on all fours, those are unclean to you. Anyone who touches their carcass is unclean until evening, and he who picks up their carcass has to wash his garments, and shall be unclean until evening. They are unclean to you. ‘And these are unclean to you among the creeping creatures that creep on the earth: the mole, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind, and the gecko, and the land crocodile, and the sand reptile, and the sand lizard, and the chameleon. ‘These are unclean to you among all that creep. Anyone who touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening. ‘And whatever any of them in its dead state falls upon, becomes unclean, whether it is any wooden object or garment or skin or sack, any object in which work is done, it is put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening, then it shall be clean. ‘Any earthen vessel into which any of them falls, whatever is in it becomes unclean, and you break it. ‘Any of the food which might be eaten, on which water comes, becomes unclean, and any drink which might be drunk from it becomes unclean. ‘And on whatever any of their carcass falls becomes unclean – an oven or cooking range – it is broken down. They are unclean, and are unclean to you. ‘But a fountain or a well, a collection of water, is clean, but whatever touches their carcass is unclean. ‘And when any of their carcass falls on any planting seed which is to be sown, it is clean. ‘But when any water is put on the seed and any part of any such carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you. ‘And when any of the beasts which are yours for food dies, he who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening. ‘And he who eats of its carcass has to wash his garments, and shall be unclean until evening. And he who picks up its carcass has to wash his garments, and shall be unclean until evening. ‘And every swarming creature – the one that swarms on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten. ‘Whatever crawls on its stomach, and whatever goes on all fours, and whatever has many feet among all swarming creatures – the ones swarming on the earth, these you do not eat, for they are an abomination. ‘Do not make yourselves abominable with any swarming creature – the one swarming, and do not make yourselves unclean with them, lest you be defiled by them. ‘For I am יהוה your Elohim, and you shall set yourselves apart. And you shall be set-apart, for I am set-apart. And do not defile yourselves with any swarming creature – the one creeping on the earth. ‘For I am יהוה who is bringing you up out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. And you shall be set-apart, for I am set-apart. ‘This is the Torah of the beasts and the birds and every living being – the creeping creature in the waters, and of every being that swarms on the earth, to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living creature that is eaten and the living creature that is not eaten.’ ”
Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 11:1‭-‬47 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/lev.11.1-47.TS2009

5. Forbid to eat blood, fat, milk products and meat products together:

‘Do not eat meat with the blood. Do not practise divination or magic.
Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 19:26 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/lev.19.26.TS2009

Bring the first of the first-fruits of your land to the House of יהוה your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Shemoth (Exodus) 34:26 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/exo.34.26.TS2009

6. Jews eat no kidneys:

And when He saw that He did not overcome him, He touched the socket of his hip. And the socket of Ya‛aqoḇ’s hip was dislocated as He wrestled with him. That is why the children of Yisra’ĕl to this day do not eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the socket of the thigh, because He touched the socket of the thigh of Ya‛aqoḇ, in the sinew of the hip.
Berĕshith (Genesis) 32:25‭, ‬32 TS2009
https://bible.com/bible/316/gen.32.25-32.TS2009

It's is an abomination for YAHVEH to break the law.

Jerusalem belongs to the Jews

*JERUSALEM BELONGS TO THE JEWS*

An excellent analysis by Morton Klein of the Zionist Organization of America debunking Islamic lies and propaganda that Jerusalem is holy to Muslims.

How can it be holy to Muslims when Jerusalem, which is mentioned 669 times in the Hebrew Bible, is not mentioned in the Koran EVEN ONCE?

And why is it that for 2,000 years Jews all over the world have been saying "Next Year in Jerusalem" while Muslims pray with their backside to Al Aksa mosque which is built on top of the Jewish Temple?

And why is that from 1948 until 1967 - when Jerusalem was ILLEGALLY occupied by the Jordanians - Arab Muslims didn't demand Jerusalem as their capital?

Jerusalem only became "holy" to Muslims when Israelis liberated the eternal, undivided capital of the Jewish people from the illegal Muslim occupation.

Mystery of Babylon

REVEALING THE IDENTITY OF 'MYSTERY BABYLON' - The Vatican system is the only world structure that is refers to themselves as a woman, wears purple and scarlet, uses a golden cup filled with wine, has shed the blood of Bible believing saints, and has become indescribably wealthy through ruling over the kings of the earth. In short, the Roman Catholic Church system, with the Vatican as its head and authority, fulfills all the qualifications in the description of the "woman" in Revelation 17 & 18. http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/roman-catholic-vatican-city-state-indeed-mother-harlots-mystery-babylon-bible/

SUNDAY is Catholic Authority

ROMAN CATHOLIC SAID:

'Sunday is our mark of authority...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is a proof of that fact.'
(The Catholic Record, London, Ontario, Sept.1.1923)
------------------------------------

Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of worship. The Roman Catholic Church protests that it transferred Christian worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial of Catholic authority.
If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on the
Bible, it should worship on Saturday.
The Catholic Church transferred the solemnity of the Sabbath to Sunday; it is a MARK of her ecclesiastic authority in religious matters~ reason and common sense demand the acceptance of 1 or the other of these alternatives; either Protestantism and the keeping Holy of Saturday, or Catholicity and the keeping Holy of Sunday, compromise is impossible~  any Protestant who claims the Bible alone as their only rule of faith would logically become 7th Day Adventists

~Editors Note:
either the Catholic Church is right or the Seventh Day
Adventists are right, there can be no other choice, and if
one chooses neither,
then the whole doctrine of Sola Scriptura collapses,
and with it the pillar upon which Protestantism stands.
-----------------------------------------------------

a person who violates the Sanctity of SUNday is to be
punished as a heretic. John Paul II
~Detroit News, July 7 1998~
----------------------------------------------------

the Bible says REMEMBER that thou keep Holy the Sabbath Day ~the Catholic Church says NO! by my Divine power I abolish the Sabbath Day and Command you to keep Holy the first day of the week, and lo the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the Command of the Holy Catholic Church
~Father Enright- American Sentinal- June 1895
------------------------------------------------------

SUNday is a Catholic institution, and its claims to
observance can be defended only on Catholic principles,
from the beginning to the end of Scripture there is
not a single passage which warrants the transfer of
the weekly public worship from the last day of the
week to the first
~Catholic Press(Sydney) August 25th 1900
------------------------------------------

"It must always be clear,
when the expression sister Churches is used in this proper sense that the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic universal church is not sister
but mother of all the particular Churches"
-- Cardinal Ratzinger.

We Catholics are the "Mother" Church
and Our Protestant Daughters Are Harlots
-- (Rev. 17:5)
------------------------------------

Sunday “is the identity of the Christian community and
the center of his life and mission”, that “we cannot
live without joining together on Sunday”, that only
those Christians “who lived in accordance with Sunday”
have “attained new hope”, and that “the Christians of
today will rediscover the crucial importance of the
Sunday Celebration”. (Pastoral Visit of Pope Benedict
XVI to Bari for the Closing of the 24th Italian National
Eucharistic Congress, Homily of Pope Benedict XVI,
Esplanade of Marisabella, Sunday, May 29, 2005.)
-------------------------------------------------------

Saturday is “no longer” the worship day of God, only on
Sunday can we become part of the body of Christ in the
world, only by worshiping on Sunday can we avoid
“egoistic isolation” and instead be united “in a great
community...a universal community” becoming “related
to everyone in the world.” (Meeting with Diocesan
Clergy of Aosta, Address of Pope Benedict XVI, Parish
Church at Introd (Aosta Valley),
Monday, July 25, 2005.)
--------------------------------------------

Every Sunday is to be dedicated and given to God.
(Mass on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, Homily of Pope Benedict XVI, given in
Parish Church of Castel Gandolfo,
Monday, August 15, 2005.)
--------------------------------------------

“Social disorder, war, injustice and violence” can only
be countered “ by renewed appreciation and respect for
the universal moral law [Sunday observance], that only
by recognizing that law can the world have “dignity,
life and freedom” with “conditions of justice and peace”
in all the communities of the world, and that the
promotion and defense of this law is what “must govern
relations between nations and peoples in the pursuit of
the common good of the human family...within the
international community.” (Address of Pope Benedict XVI
to H.E. Mr Francis Rooney, New Ambassador of the United States of America to the Holy See, Saturday,
November 12, 2005.)
------------------------------------------

Sunday is a day of rest for all workers. (Address of
Pope Benedict XVI to the Italian Christian Workers'
Associations (A.C.L.I.), Clementine Hall, Friday,
January 27, 2006.)
---------------------------------------------

People cannot be sanctified except on Sunday, that Christ transferred Sabbath sacredness to Sunday, that only those who keep Sunday belong to Christ, that only on Sunday does “the risen Lord makes himself present among his followers”, that only these “worship God properly”, and that may Sunday “regain all its importance.”
(Letter of Pope Benedict XVI to Card. Francis Arinze on the Occasion of the Study Day in Honour of the 43rd Anniversary of the Promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, From the Vatican, November 27, 2006.)
-----------------------------------------------

Sunday is an “obligation for all the faithful” which brings
“authentic freedom enabling them to live each day”, that
it is the Lord’s day, that it is “a day to be sanctified”,
and those who do not keep it suffer “the loss of an
authentic sense of Christian freedom” and the loss of
being “the children of God”, that Sunday is the “primordial holy day” and “is meant to be kept holy”, “a day of rest from work”, which hopefully “will also be recognized by civil society” by law.
(Sacramentum Caritatis: Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Eucharist as the Source and Summit of the Church's Life and Mission, Given by Pope Benedict XVI in Rome, at Saint Peter's, February 22, 2007, the Feast of the Chair of Peter.)
---------------------------------------------

“It is necessary” “to hold Sunday in special high regard”
in order “to remain united to Christ”, as “it is the day
dedicated to the Lord.” (Message of Pope Benedict XVI to the Participants in the 9th International Youth Forum
(Rocca di Papa, 28-31 March 2007), from the Vatican,
March 28, 2007.)
-----------------------------------------------

Only on Sunday can we experience “a personal encounter with Christ.”
(Apostolic Journey of Pope Benedict XVI to Brazil on the Occasion of the Fifth General Conference of the Bishops of Latin America and the Carribbean, Inaugural Session, Address of Pope Benedict XVI, Conference Hall, Shrine of Aparecida, Sunday, May 13, 2007.)
--------------------------------------------------

“Without the Lord’s day, we cannot live”, that meeting with the Lord only occurs on the “specific day” of Sunday, that life does not flourish without Sunday, and that Sunday is a day of rest, of freedom and equality for all the world.
(Eucharistic Celebration Homily of Pope Benedict XVI ,
Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna, Sunday,
September 9, 2007.)
-----------------------------------------------------

Encouraged America to exercise “its leadership within the international community” based on “the common moral law [Sunday holiness].”
(Address of Pope Benedict XVI to H.E. Mrs. Mary Ann Glendon, New Ambassador of the United States
of America to the Holy See, Friday, February 29, 2008.)
---------------------------------------------------

The world has greater need of hope for peace, justice and freedom, which “can never be delivered without obedience to the law of God [Sunday holiness]”. (Video-Message of the Pope Benedict XVI to Catholics and People of the United States of America on the Occasion of the Upcoming Apostolic Journey, April 15-21, 2008.)
------------------------------------------------------

“But our principal concern is to silence this sect of Sabbath keepers. We must excite popular indignation against them. We will enlist great men and worldly-wise men upon our side, and induce those in authority to carry out our purposes.
Then the sabbath which I have set up shall be enforced by laws the most severe and exacting. Those who disregard them shall be driven out from the cities and villages, and made to suffer hunger and privation. When once we have the power, we will show what we can do with those who will not swerve from their allegiance to God. We led the Romish church to inflict imprisonment, torture, and death upon those who refused to yield to her decrees; and now that we are bringing the Protestant churches and the world into harmony with this right arm of our strength, we will finally have a law to exterminate
all who will not submit to our authority. When death
shall be made the penalty of violating our sabbath,
then many who are now ranked with commandment keepers will come over to our side. {TM 473.1}

WAKE UP!!!! SLEEPERS, IT'S TOO LATE TO SLEEP!!

Bar Mitzvah

🔯Bar Mitzvah🇮🇱

5 Hadiah Sempurna untuk Menjadi Orang Dewasa dalam tradisi Yahudi.

Dalam tradisi bangsa-bangsa goyim seorang anak dinyatakan dewasa ketika dia mencapai usia 17 thn.

#Lain Hal Dengan Yudaisme

#Ketika seorang anak laki-laki Yahudi mencapai usia 13 tahun, ia secara resmi menjadi  bar mitzvah , yang berarti "putra dari perintah." 👑👨

Meskipun pemikiran umum,  bar mitzvah  bukanlah pesta atau perayaan, tetapi lebih merupakan waktu transisi dalam kehidupan seorang anak laki - laki Yahudi di mana ia berubah dari menjadi seorang anak menjadi seorang dewasa Yahudi, terikat dengan semua perintah dari seorang pria dewasa Yahudi .👨👲

Beberapa perintah dasar sedang dihitung dalam minyan , atau kuorum sepuluh orang yang diperlukan untuk doa, dipanggil ke Taurat untuk aliyah  (untuk mengucapkan berkat sebelum pembacaan Taurat), dan bertanggung jawab atas tindakannya secara fisik dan secara etis.👔🎓

The  bar mitzvah  diamati pada hari Sabat, dan  bar mitzvah  biasanya menghabiskan bulan belajar dan mempersiapkan untuk hari ia akan mencapai mayoritas dengan mempelajari dan mempersiapkan porsi Taurat nya, 📖📄📑📰📚🕎📖

menghafal doa atas Taurat, mempersiapkan untuk memimpin layanan Shabbat, dan menulis sebuah pidato tentang porsi Torah atau mengikat  proyek mitzvahnya  ke bagian Torah.🕎💡📃📚

Sebuah  mitzvah  proyek adalah kesempatan untuk  bar mitzvah  untuk mengumpulkan uang untuk amal ( tzedakah ) atau bekerja pada proyek lain untuk lebih memahami peran etika dalam dunia Yahudi.🕯🔎

Ini adalah praktik umum di sebagian besar komunitas Yahudi, agama dan lain-lain, karena akan ada pesta perayaan atau perayaan untuk menghormati  bar  mitzvah .

Jika Anda merayakan, kemungkinan besar Anda akan ingin mendapatkan hadiah bar mitzvah yang berarti .💰💵💸

Berikut adalah beberapa saran kami untuk hadiah yang akan tetap bersama  bar mitzvah  selama bertahun-tahun yang akan datang.

Tallit

Bintang Daud: Yair Emanuel Bordir Rawit Baku Sutra.🔯
Dalam Taurat adalah perintah untuk mengenakan  tallit , garmen kain hampir seperti selendang dengan empat sudut yang memiliki pinggiran.

Berbicaralah kepada anak-anak Israel dan Anda akan mengatakan kepada mereka bahwa mereka akan membuat diri mereka sendiri berserakan di sudut-sudut pakaian mereka, sepanjang generasi mereka, dan mereka akan mengikatkan benang langit biru wol di pinggiran setiap sudut.

Ini akan menjadi pinggiran bagi Anda, dan ketika Anda melihatnya, Anda akan mengingat semua perintah Tuhan untuk melaksanakannya, dan Anda tidak akan mengembara setelah hati Anda dan setelah mata Anda setelah itu Anda akan tersesat.

Jadi, Anda harus ingat dan melaksanakan semua perintah-Ku dan kamu akan menjadi kudus bagi  YVHMu Bilangan 15: 37-40.

Dikenakan selama doa, di komunitas Ashkenazi, seorang Yahudi mulai mengenakan  tallit  ketika ia menjadi  bar mitzvah .

Dalam komunitas Sephardi, seorang Yahudi mulai mengenakan  tallit  setelah dia menikah.

Di kedua komunitas, setiap kali seorang Yahudi dipanggil ke Taurat untuk  aliyah  untuk mengatakan berkat atas Taurat, ia mengenakan  tallit.

Dan tallit  adalah benda yang sangat istimewa dalam kehidupan seorang Yahudi karena mengikutinya dari  bar mitzvah  ke pernikahannya, dalam banyak kasus, kematiannya.

Dalam beberapa kasus,  tallit  diwariskan dari generasi ke generasi, juga.

Yad Pointer🖊✒🖋

Ketika seorang anak laki-laki menjadi seorang  bar mitzvah , ia biasanya belajar lama dan sulit untuk mempelajari bagian Torahnya sehingga dapat membacanya sebelum sidang.

Salah satu alat untuk membantu membimbingnya dalam membaca Torah adalah  yad , atau penunjuk , membuatnya menjadi hadiah yang besar dan berarti yang dapat dia gunakan sepanjang hidupnya.

Dan Yad  adalah bagian yang indah dari Judaica untuk koleksi apa pun, tetapi memainkan peran penting juga. Talmud berkata,

"Dia yang memegang  Sefer Torah  telanjang akan dikubur telanjang" (Shab. 14a).

Dari ini, para rabi mengerti bahwa sebuah gulungan Taurat tidak boleh disentuh oleh tangan kosong, jadi untuk dengan mudah mengikuti sambil membaca, atau untuk menunjukkan suatu bagian kepada seseorang,  yad , yang secara harfiah berarti "lengan" atau "tangan" digunakan.

Tefillin

Israel.
Jerusalem.
Sinagoga Shay Agnon.
Bar mitzvah.

Anak laki-laki dibantu oleh gurunya mengenakan tefilin.

Mungkin yang paling penting dari hadiah yang  bar mitzvah  dapat menerima, tefillin merupakan titik balik.

Satu set  tefillin  tidak murah, tetapi pemberian  tefillin  kemungkinan akan tetap bersama seorang anak Yahudi selama sisa hidupnya dan akan digunakan hampir setiap hari.

Tefillin  adalah dua kotak kecil yang terbuat dari kulit yang mengandung ayat-ayat dari Taurat yang ditulis oleh ahli yang lebih lembut  (juru tulis), yang orang Yahudi di atas  usia bar mitzvah  pakai selama sholat subuh (kecuali pada Shabbat dan banyak liburan).

Kotak-kotak itu melekat pada tali kulit panjang yang digunakan untuk menempel kotak-kotak itu ke kepala dan lengan.

The mitzvah (perintah) dari  tefillin  berasal dari Ulangan 6: 5-9:

“Cintailah YHVH ELOHIMmu dengan segenap hatimu, semua keberadaanmu, dan seluruh kekuatanmu.

Kata-kata yang saya perintahkan kepada Anda hari ini harus selalu ada di pikiran Anda.

Bacalah mereka untuk anak-anak Anda.

Bicarakan tentang mereka ketika Anda sedang duduk di rumah dan ketika Anda keluar dan sekitar, ketika Anda berbaring dan ketika Anda bangun.

Ikat mereka sebagai tanda di tanganmu.

Mereka harus menjadi simbol bagi Anda di dahi Anda. 

Tandai mereka sebagai tanda di ambang pintu rumah Anda dan di atas gerbang kota Anda. "

Ada juga ayat-ayat yang sangat spesifik, yang dikenal sebagai  shema , yang  ditemukan di dalam  tefillin.

Tanakh📖📖📙

Tanakh Koren Pembaca. Edisi Resmi.

Tanakh sebenarnya merupakan akronim yang melambangkan Torah , Nevi'im (nabi), dan Ketuvim (tulisan).

Ini sering digunakan secara bergantian dengan Torah, karena itu mewakili keseluruhan dari Alkitab Yahudi yang ditulis.

Meskipun anak - anak Yahudi mulai mempelajari kisah-kisah Taurat di awal kehidupan, memiliki Tanakh yang benar-benar indah dan pribadi untuk belajar Torah adalah pilihan yang bagus untuk sebuah  bar mitzvah , karena perintah dan pelajaran Taurat adalah yang paling penting dan dapat diterapkan dalam kehidupan sehari-harinya. !

Kalung Bar Mitzvah

Liontin Emas 14K dan Berlian Bar / Bat Mitzva.

Meskipun bukan hadiah bar mitzvah  tradisional, satu pilihan yang berarti adalah kalung yang merayakan  tanggung jawab bar mitzvah yang baru .

Kata, dalam bahasa Ibrani, adalah  achrayut (אחריות).

Ketika seorang anak laki-laki Yahudi menjadi  bar mitzvah , ia menjadi terikat dengan semua 613  mitzvot  dari Taurat dan / atau tanggung jawab etis sebagai seorang Yahudi.

Dengan demikian, tanggung jawab adalah tema penting dalam periode waktu ini bagi semua Orang Yahudi.

Elul 20, 5778

Elul 20, 5778.

Day 20 and counting up to 40, to Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement, which will be on the 10th day of Tishrei, the  7th month of the Hebrew calendar. It will be on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 of the Gregorian calender. However the Hebrew day is from sundown Tuesday, September 18th to sundown Wednesday September 19th. The date and month was fixed by Yahweh our Elohim, as told to Mosheh and written in Leviticus 23. That is why the festivals are actually the Appointed Times of Yahweh. And no one may change the dates of these Appointed Times of Yahweh to suit man's convenience. He has commanded us to observe and to have the set apart assembly on these Appointed Times.

Yom HaKippurim or the Day of Atonement,  is the most sacred day in the Hebrew calendar. It is the only day in the year that the High Priest can enter into the most holy place to make atonement for his sins and the sins of the people, with the blood of the animals sacrificed. And the atonement is only for unintentional sins! There was no atonement for willful and intentional sins.

When John the Baptist saw Yeshua the Nazarene, he declared, " This is the Lamb of Elohim!" You see, John was the son of Zechariah the Priest, and was  competent to declare "the Lamb" as fit for the sacrifice. Why was Yeshua the "Lamb of Elohim" and not the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah"? This was because He came to be the sacrificial lamb to make atonement for the sins of the whole world. When He returns at the Feast of Trumpets, He will return as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

The Book of Hebrews tells us that Yeshua the Nazarene is the High Priest according to the order of Malek Zaddek. He is the Royal Priest appointed by Yahweh under oath. And as the High Priest, Yeshua shed His own blood to make atonement for the sins of the whole world. But only once and not every Yom Kippur as done in the Temple by the Aaronic High Priest. And He sprinkled His blood in the most holy place in the heavens and not in the Temple which was only a copy of the real Tabernacles in the heavens.  And the atonement by the precious blood of the "Lamb of Elohom" was for all kinds of sins, whether unintentional or intentionally. But if we treat the blood shed by Yeshua as common and refused to repent and stopped from sinning, there will be no further sacrifice for sins and the unrepentant sinners has only themselves to blame on the day of judgment.

That is why Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement is very very important.  But if you wonder, why celebrate Yom Kippur when Yeshua the High Priest has already made atonement for us? Well, Yom Kippur also has a prophetic message. It tells us about the coming judgment of the nations when Yeshua retuns to rule the earth from Yerusalem. Also, the prophets said that the 3rd Temple will be rebuilt. And when the Temple is rebuilt, there will be sacrifices! Really? Read what the prophets has written. We will discuss that another time.

Truly, these are days of Teshuvah (Hebrew), Metanoia (Greek) and Repentance! When the last shofar is sounded, and you're not ready, it'll be a tiny bit too late. He is coming for a holy and set apart people. It is not just to stop sinning, but to be transformed to live in righteousness.  Shalom Aleichem!
