Now Is The Time w/Rabbi Steve Berkson | Discovering Your Identity | Part 3
Do you need to send your DNA to be tested to discover your identity? Not if you’ve become something other than what you were born. The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians (2 Cori 5:17) “Therefore, if anyone is in Messiah, he is a renewed creature – the old matters...
Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 14 – VAYKHEL (What We Hear)
In last week’s Torah portion Ki Tisa, which we called The Shabbat Elevator, it juxtaposed the observance of Shabbat with the Golden Calf and its alternate feast (Ex 31:12–32:6). Their relationship is adversarial, suggesting Shabbat brings Israel closer to Adonai, while forsaking the Shabbat leaves a breach in the wall for idolatry to enter in.
This week’s Torah portion Vayekhel further clarifies the defense of Shabbat as the “assembling” of Israel. This assembly occurs weekly in synagogues and congregations, and it happens at the appointed times and their Sabbaths. Such assemblies are a result of the Spirit of Adonai, which He puts into the craftsmen to skillfuly prepare the Body of Messiah for His indwelling Presence. The result is an assembly delighting in the holy day.
Yeshua is possibly three out of the Four Craftsmen
Mark Call – Parsha “Pekudei” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Now Is The Time w/Rabbi Steve Berkson | Discovering Your Identity | Part 2
Some say that Yeshua of Nazareth cannot be The Messiah because in His lineage there is a Moabite, Ruth the Moabitess. Moabites and Ammonites, the people who descended from Lot through the incestuous relationship with his daughters, are never to be a part of the...
Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 13 – KI TISA (The Fall of the House of Ahab …and the Shabbat Elevator)
The expressions clarify the verses in the Song of Songs concerning the Vineyard Israel’s (Is 5:7) need to mature in the fruits of repentance and its identity as the ripe figs of Passover repentance.There is a lack of people of righteousness among the Vineyard and Fig Tree Israel. Knowing that the “fruits” are works reflecting repentance, this is dire. The foxes have ruined the fruits of repentance, so they did not ripen. The Artscroll commentary is more specific, saying that there is a lack of teachers who will teach integrity. (The Prophets: The Twelve Prophets to Micah 7:1)
The preservation of the fig trees and vineyard is usually through watchmen [and women!] who build secure fences and stand guard on the walls for predators such as foxes. Ezekiel explains the problem: “I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.” (Eze 22:30)
Lack of care for the physical land explains the lack of care for the spiritual land’s destruction, its Vineyard.

Torah Teachers’ Round Table – Tanakh Edition – Jeremiah chapter 34 into 35
The teachers continue the study of the prophet YermeYahu, or Jeremiah, from chapter 34 into chapter 35, where the focus shifts to a bit of history, in the form of the 'Rechabites'. And, arguably, whether things that got their fathers in trouble long past have been...

Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 12 (Defining The Little Foxes)
This week we continue from the teaching on “The Fox in The Family” and uncover who the little foxes are as we correlate and discover parallels and similarities in the stories of Ahab and Jezebel with their offspring together with Herod and Herodius and their offspring. In this study we then finally recognize how we are all caught up in the exact same story today.
Mark Call – Parsha “Ki Tisa” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa Fellowship for a two-part look at parsha Ki Tisa (Exodus 30:11 through chapter 34) and one of the most"drama-filled" stories in the entire Book. Not to mention 'fateful,' and certainly 'prophetic.' On Erev Shabbat, Mark summarizes...

As the teachers continue the study of the prophet YermeYahu, or Jeremiah, into chapter 33, and then 34, the focus is again on elements of the 'greater exodus' (yet to come, seems to be the concensus) and to which groups -- two of them, it turns out: the house of...
