Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.Continuing in Psalm 119 beginning in verse 159 Rabbi Steve Berkson exposes a ‘truth’ in what King David has been writing over and over pleading with Elohim that He would “revive” him because he “loves” the commandments of Elohim. Do you need to be revived? Romans 10:4 says in some translations that “Messiah is the end of the Law for righteousness…”, but does this mean the termination of the Law? Or does the word we read as “end” have a different meaning?Does forever really mean forever? Rabbi Berkson has a problem with the idea of forever as he explains…There are things that happen in your everyday life to prove the Brit Hadasha (New Testament) is true. Do you know what they are?As you take the steps to become like Messiah Yeshua, what is the strongest influence in your life?Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper under

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.This teaching continues in Psalm 119, verse 150 where Rabbi Steve Berkson expounds on “Those who pursue mischief…” as those who have a different agenda than Yahweh, and are far from His Torah. These are those who lack an intimate relationship with The Creator. These draw near with their lips, but their heart is far from Him. They do what is right in their own eyes.Is there a difference between ‘mercy’ and ‘grace/favor’? Rabbi Berkson touches on this topic so that there’s a clear understanding.King David the psalmist wrote about those who “have not sought Your Laws.”, and called them “the wrong ones”. Do you seek His Laws?Lashon Hara is Hebrew for ‘evil tongue’. Many people are familiar with this term, but are confused as to what it actually means. Rabbi Berkson unpacks the meaning of this term and how it can affect your life and the life of those around you.This teaching

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.Focusing on how our hearts and minds should be towards our Creator and His Torah, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues in our journey through the writings of King David in Psalm 119. Rabbi Berkson picks up at verse 145 pointing out how throughout this psalm King David has made the connection between petitioning The Almighty, and expressing why He should grant it and why the petitioner wants it. As Rabbi Berkson questions that as all of us have called out to The Almighty, “Answer me” – can we say with honesty and integrity, “I observe Your laws”?The Almighty created you to, at first, receive from Him. Then, as we have believed in His Son, Messiah Yeshua, and walk the path of righteousness, we become a ‘new creature’ that rises from the “Below”, the elementary things of this earth, to the “Above”, the things of Heaven. This ‘new creature’ learns to become a ‘giver’ as is The Almig

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.Moving forward in Psalm 119, Rabbi Steve Berkson has a few questions for us;When you see people not guarding the Torah, what is your reaction? (Psalm 119:136)What if you never got to see what happens to those who don’t listen to Elohim? (Psalm 119:138)How has Christianity confused us regarding “salvation”?Why did Elohim allow all that horrible stuff to happen to Job?Why do you want eternal life? Are you trustworthy with it? Do you really understand what that life will be like?What is Yahweh’s “Love Language”?Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.No one understood the connection of Love and Torah better than King David. He was referred to by Yahweh as the man after Yahweh’s own heart. As we continue going through Psalm 119 we see him talking about his love for Torah, how much he values and cherishes the commandments of Yahweh.What did King David mean when he wrote, “Your witnesses are wonders…”?If you are in covenant with Yah, how could wickedness have rule over you?Jeremiah 31:31 – The Covenant – new or renewed?How are you like a teenager to Yahweh?Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.As we continue to look at King David, the man after Yahweh’s own heart, and his writings starting in Psalm 119:126, Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches us verse by verse to understand the emotions and thoughts King David experienced to cause him to write them down. As we understand, we can apply these emotions and thoughts to our lives. After all, it’s through our experiences that Yahweh ‘makes us to understand.’Every organization, corporation, state, country, etc. has a vertical structure with someone or something at the top and those under who are subject to the level above and responsible for those who are under. The Kingdom of Messiah has the same kind of vertical structure. This is necessary for the smooth and functional operation of the forward movement of the Kingdom. This vertical Kingdom structure is in place right now and everyone within the structure should know and un

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.This episode from the beginning of Sukkot starts with Rabbi Steve Berkson taking us to the passage in the Gospel of John, chapter 7, where we see Yeshua Messiah standing up at the day called Shemini Atzerat which finishes the feast, declaring Himself to be the Waters of Life. Rabbi Berkson points out that Messiah said “Anyone who thirsts…” – but does everyone get to drink?From there Rabbi Berkson takes us to John 4:5-15, the story of the woman at the well, where Messiah Yeshua offered Living Water to her and also declared to her, one of only two people, that He was the Messiah. Rabbi Berkson points out the time of day this happened from which he brings a “deeper understanding” as to what the time of day had to do with the story which was the sixth hour of the day. What could be the “hour of man”?From there we go back to Psalm 119, but before he gets into that Rabbi Berkso

Rabbi Steve Berkson lists the reasons for giving your love and life to the Torah of Yahweh.Why would King David say that he’s smarter than his teachers? What teachers?Did King David have a problem with arrogance? Do you?What does it mean to “restrain my feet”? Doesn’t Satan cause me to do wrong? How do you picture Satan, the devil? Would you recognize that creature if it were before you?How does our Creator define evil? How do humans define evil? Do the definitions match?In what way will living in the Millennium be harder for some?
