Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh? As Rabbi Steve Berkson concludes this teaching series, he begins with Joel 2:12, where we see Elohim giving His people instruction on how to return to Him. As Rabbi Berkson points out, Yahweh expects those returning to Him to be serious about repairing the breach in the relationship.

• What is tearing your garments? Why does Elohim want a tearing of the heart instead?

• What does Elohim do to get your attention so that you return to the path?

In Jeremiah 32:37-42, Yahweh says that as much as He brought evil to His people for their turning away from Him, He will bring just as much good to those who return.

• When Elohim says, “I shall give them one heart…”, is He just going to hand out new hearts to everybody?

• Ephesians chapter 2 talks to us about the opportunity given to us to become what?

Moving to Isaiah 1:16-20, Rabbi Berkson points out that with a holistic understanding of Scripture, it’s not possible to get the message that Elohim just gives us everything. He also points out that the Scriptures can be used by many to draw erroneous conclusions.

• What is a ‘holistic’ approach to the Scriptures?

• How could someone prove from Scripture that their chicken was the Messiah?

• What is evil? How does Yahweh define evil?

• When Elohim says, “Come let us reason together…” (Isaiah 1:18), does that mean Yahweh wants your input?

In Isaiah chapter 58, Rabbi Steve clarifies that to truly be in covenant with our Creator, two things must work together.

• Is this chapter only referring to Yom Kippur?

• Doesn’t Elohim always respond to fasting and afflicting ourselves?

• What are the two things it takes to please Elohim?

• How does Rabbi Berkson interpret ‘speaking your own words’?

Verse-by-verse and step-by-step, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a journey of discovery as we learn how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time, requires us to turn around and return (Shuva) to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom.
