Keeping our DOUBLE PORTION in balance

Double Portion
By Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr

The frustration that I feel in the religious square of Christianity, Messianic Judaism, Nazarene Judaism and Orthodox Judaism is felt by many who is coming from an angle of a Nazarene Jew or a 1st Century Nazarene Christian.

Christian Church is to pagan,

Messianic Congregations blends the fabric to much with modern day Christianity,

Orthodox Judaism is to apathetic or dead and there are just not enough

Nazarene Jewish synagogues near by for us to attend and where we live
very few are interested in starting one.

So we trudge along alone like Elijah, knowing there are the thousands who have not bowed or kissed Ba'al, but where are they!? Scattered, that's where, and it seems that the internet is our only meeting place.

There is also a danger of separating oneself so far from the Christianity most of us came out of, that we left behind the things in Modern Christianity that is true and we end up just a lukewarm body on the brink of death looking like an Orthodox Jew with a Fisher Price Tefillin! Just as we have pleaded for Christians not to through the baby out with the bathwater in regards to Jewish tradition, we too must do so in kind with the Modern Christian tradition.

People, there has got to be a balance that is achieved. A dear friend of mine named Ariel, she said it best.

"I totally understand your frustration, brother. During a 40 day fast back in the summer of 2007, the Holy Spirit said to me "the double portion anointing is that of Moses & Elijah" (Moshe/Eliyahu).

That was a profound revelation to me because we often speak of the "double portion" anointing that Elisha asked Eliyahu to give him, but we don't really know what that looks like.

But when Adonai said this to me, my eyes were opened to a profound truth. I have been to Messianic Congregations where they are very dry, ritualistic and I see no real move of the Holy Spirit. Yet they teach Torah, and they have much wisdom. But because of a lack of intimacy with Adonai, there is very little "revelation", and so when I share during the Parshot the revelation that the Ruach is giving me, people are astounded including the Rabbi.

But then I also attend a non-denominational congregation where there is a 24/7 House of Prayer. People there are very much into the relationship with Yeshua, and there is a real emphasis on the Bridegroom / Bride relationship as with Shlomo and the Shulamite woman in Song of Songs. Intimacy is the real focus at this congregation, yet they are lacking in Torah study. They merely touch on it, but they have no wisdom to accompany their revelation.

Torah brings wisdom, while intimacy and prayer brings revelation.

We need the double portion anointing in these last days which is that of Moshe (Torah) and that of Eliyahu (Spirit). In other words these dualities which we see perfectly in balance in the PERSON of Yeshua himself.

He commands to look neither to the left nor to the right because on both sides, left and right are the waves of the Red Sea, but in the middle, is the pathway to salvation. Likewise Yeshua is the middle branch of the Menorah (the Vine) and we who have faith in him are the branches.

In Yeshua we have the balance of these dualities:

Moshe & Eliyahu
Law & Prophets
Truth & Spirit
Wisdom & Revelation
Knowledge & Understanding
Judgment & Mercy
Flesh & Spirit
Bone & Marrow
Father & Son
Right Hand & Left Hand

Yeshua is the one who brings these dualities into perfect balance, which is why he had the double-edged sword coming from his mouth.

The two witnesses of Revelation 11:4 are the two olive trees (Jew & Gentile believers) and the two menorah's (smyrna & philadelphia).

They are not a reincarnation of Eliyahu & Moshe, they are two groups of people coming together in the end times who carry the anointing of
Moshe (Torah) and the anointing of Eliyahu (Spirit/Prophecy).

If we can come together and bring the elements of Torah & Spirit in the Christian Churches and the Messianic Congregations, and if we will come out of MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, (by abandoning sun god worship i.e. Christ Mass, Easter etc) we will see the LATTER RAIN OUTPOURING spoken of in Yoel 2:28 before Yeshua's return!"

This will not be achieved by Nazarene Rabbi's, no this will only happen when Messianic Nazarene Jewish and Gentile believers wake up and start living it themselves, actively seeking out others of like mind, finding ways to hook up and get things moving.

Look, a Nazarene Synagogue isn't just going to fall into your lap. You must work toward it to make it happen, just as the Children of Israel pulled together in the wilderness to build the Mishkan (Tabernacle). G-d didn't magically poof the Mishkan out of thin air, no; they all pitched in and made it happen. Success and failure lies on our shoulders.

Nile perch (Lates niloticus)

The above Nile perch (Lates niloticus) is sold in NTUC fairprice. It is a species of freshwater fish in family Latidae of order Perciformes. It is well known for its tender white flesh and delicate flavour, it is boneless and easy to prepare. It contains hightest Omega -3 It is widespread throughout much of the Afrotropic ecozone, being native to the Congo, Nile, Senegal, Niger, and Lake Chad, Volta, Lake Turkana and other river basins. It also occurs in the brackish waters of Lake Maryut in Egypt. Originally described as Labrus niloticus, among the marine wrasses, the species has also been referred to as Centropomus niloticus. Common names include African snook, Capitaine, Victoria perch (a misleading trade name, as the species is not native to Lake Victoria), and a large number of local names in various African languages.

Lates niloticus is silver in colour with a blue tinge. It has a distinctive dark black eye, with a bright yellow outer ring. One of the largest freshwater fish, it reaches a maximum length of nearly two metres (more than six feet), weighing up to 200 kg (440 lb). Nile perch are sexually mature at 3 years of age and spawn most of the year. They can produce around 16 million eggs at a time. Females mature at 50 to 80cm, dependant on locality and environmental conditions. After laying the eggs, they provide no parental care.

Adult Nile perch occupy all habitats of a lake with sufficient oxygen concentrations, while juveniles are restricted to shallow or nearshore environments. A fierce predator that dominates its surroundings, the Nile perch feeds on fish (including its own species), crustaceans, and insects; the juveniles also feed on zooplankton.

Ways of cooking

Bake, barbecued; broiled, fried; poached or steamed,

I have check that Nile Perch are found listed in Kosher list

Nile Perch, Baked Cantonese-Style (P, TNT)
Source: adapted from "Jewish Action," Winter 2004 edition, by Helen Nash
Serves: 4

1" piece fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into thin slices
4 flounder fillets
Kosher salt
3 tbsp. soy sauce, lite
3 tbsp. dry white wine
2 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. sugar
Freshly ground pepper
3 scallions, including the green part, cut into 2" julienne strips-match sticks

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Scatter half of the ginger root on the bottom of a baking dish that is large enough to fit the fish. Lightly season the fillets, with salt and pepper. Fold the ends of each fillet underneath itself to form a small rectangular packet. Per author--The silvery connective tissue should be on the inside of the packet).

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, wine, sesame oil, sugar, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the fish and scatter the remaining ginger and scallions over it.

Cover the pan tightly with foil, and bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes or until the center of the fish has changed color. Spoon the sauce and the scallions (without the ginger) over the fish and serve.

Author's Notes:
This is an easy dish to prepare and serve. You can pre-plate it, served over a bed of steamed rice combined with peas, snow peas or sugar snaps. Or you can serve it in the dish that you baked it in, with rice and vegetables on the side.

Poster's Notes:
I couldn't find any ginger root so I used ginger powder.

The original recipe called for flounder.

I used Tamari sauce for the soy sauce. I used toasted sesame oil for the sesame oil.

I made this recipe last night with Nile Perch and not folded up. My husband thinks it could use some crushed garlic and a bit more pepper than I used. The first time I make something, I try to be cautious.

The Difference in Being Jewish and Being Torah Observant

The Difference in Being Jewish and Being Torah Observant
By Rabbi Yehudah ben Shoemyr

Being Jewish is unlike any other thing in the world. For when you say "Jewish" you can either refer to an ethnicity or a religion, or both!

I Cor. 7: 17-19
19 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

What Rav Sha'ul is saying is that if you are a Jew (circumcised) when you come to Messiah; don't become like a Gentile (uncircumcised).

And likewise if you are a Gentile and you do not have to convert and become a Jew to keep the commandments and serve Adonai. Gentiles indeed have their place and purpose in the body. But there is also no ban if one sincerely wishes to become a Jew through the process of conversion.

For a Gentile who comes to the Faith they can either officially convert if they so desire and become a full fledged Jew, or they can remain a Gentile and be as Acts records, a G-d Fearer (Acts 15) (See: "To Circumcise or Not to Circumcise, That is the Question" in the book "Get Back to the First Century" by Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr).

However, even though it was left up to the Gentile if they wanted to convert or not, it was almost expected of them after they began to serve YHWH and learn how to keep Torah. Many people misinterpret the writings of Rav Shaul and say we don't have to keep circumcision. Okay, this is the crux of the issue.

The Judaisers argued "You must be circumcised to be saved. Circumcise first, teach Torah later." Rav Shaul said, "If you think your foreskin is your ticket to heaven you are sorely mistaken. What sense does it make to circumcise first, only to have the convert disagree with some of the commandments and say, ""This is not for me.", and splits. In this instance the circumcision would have been all in vain, thus harming YHWH's name and reputation, and our reputation among the goyim (gentiles) by publicly professing YHWH, His Torah, and His Messiah, then live contrary to that, no, teach Torah first then circumcise."

The reputation and responsibility of being circumcised is comparable to that of Christian baptism. A potential convert to Judaism under went a year of training in the Torah (Acts 15:19-21). My point being is that following Torah, obeying Torah is not the same thing as being Jewish.

There are not two covenants, one for Jews and one for Gentiles, for both Hebrew and Gentiles (mixed multitude) accepted Torah upon themselves when the Torah was given at Sinai (Exodus 12:38, Ex. 19:8) (See: "Torah: All for One and One for All" in the book "Get Back to the First Century" by Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr). There is not
one faith, two expressions.

The Torah is incumbent upon every believer. Granted, not all 613 Commandments apply to one person. Some are for Men, Women, Kings, Israeli Farmers and some are for the Levitical Priests, but there are some that is applicable to all and not to be confused with "Jewish Customs".

For example, kippot (head covering) have become a custom, albeit based on Torah, but not specifically mentioned in Torah. But tzitzit (fringes) (Num. 15:37-41) on the other hand is a commandment for everyone, not just for Jews.

You don't have to eat challah bread, chullin, gefillta fish, lox and bagels or a falafel, but you do have to eat kosher (See: "The Root of Kashrut" in the book "Get Back to the First Century" by Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr).

"For most Christians, the commandments which they have a problem with are commandments which deal with the Sabbath, Feasts, dietary laws, and miscellaneous things like tzitziyot (fringes), mezuzahs, beards, etc. These things are dismissed as "Jewish rituals, just for the Jews to do until Christ came."

Yet the Bible nowhere singles out these commandments from the rest of the Torah and says that they are just
for the Jews. Nor does the Bible say that these commandments would be abolished by the coming of the Messiah. People think of these things as Jewish practices only because Christians abandoned them centuries ago, and the Jews have continued to practice them. But the Bible does not give one set of rules for Jews and a different set of rules for non-Jewish believers. "Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am YHVH your G-d." (Lev.24:22)." – Daneil Botkin of Gates of Eden publication

Most Jews agree on observing all 613 Mitzvot, but we all differ on how, and to what extent we keep the Commandments. The way any particular Jewish sect keeps the Commandments is called, "Halakah", meaning, the way one walks. Keeping Torah doesn't mean one looses their cultural distinctiveness.

In Judaism there is Sephardic Jews, Yemenite Jews, Ashkenazi Jews, Netzari Jews etc. These are all Jews
who follow and keep Torah. Yet within these and other groups, there is enough room for them to keep Torah in their own way, and maintain their unique cultural identity, such as dress, food, music, customs etc. Each group has their own way of tying tzitzit, and laying teffilin. The Torah says to do them, but not how. Culture and custom
help define this, as Frank Sinatra sang, "I did it my way!" And each group's way of fulfilling the Commandments vary and are so pregnant with meaning and depth. And so too, I see no problem with Gentiles who accept the Commandments of Torah, the Messiah and serve the G-d of Israel but decide not to official convert to have their own customs that distinguish them from Jews, as long as the customs do not violate the Laws of G-d. For example, I have a good friend from Burundi Africa who is a master drummer; he indeed can use those drums and his talents
to worship YHWH in a Torah way.

However, remaining a Gentile and not officially converting does not make a Gentile a "second class citizen" but they will be certain things a Gentile will not be able to do, and places they will not be able to go.

This is because certain commands were given to the Jews, not as a double standard, for these particular commandments are not of a moral nature, but are in commemoration of the Exile from Egypt. For instance and uncircumcised man may not eat of the Passover lamb (Exd. 12:48). But since the Temple is not standing and we therefore do not sacrifice lambs, eat them, nor even have lamb to eat at modern seders this has become a moot point. However, when the Temple is rebuilt and Passovers will be as they were back then, a Gentile can come to the seder, but not eat of the lamb. In a similar way a non-Levite cannot eat of sacrificial meat (Lev. Ch.7, Ch.22). Speaking of the Temple, there is a section called the court of the Gentiles in which a Torah Observant Non-Jew may worship, but he cannot go any further unless he officially converts to Judaism.

Many would site that the 7 Noachide Laws are for the Gentiles. However, that is purely a Rabbinical invention based in Torah. I do not believe in the Noachide Laws for reasons stated above.

Yeshua didn't come to start a new religion, but to bring into fullness the original one and desires everyone to be apart of it in their own cultural way.

Terefah

n181. It is forbidden to eat a "Terefah" (Shemot 22:30).

Terefah

any food, food product, or utensil that, according to the Jewish dietary laws (Kashrut, q.v.), is not ritually clean or prepared according to law and is thus prohibited as unfit for Jewish use. Terefah is thus the antithesis of kosher (“fit”). The broad connotation of terefah derives from a more specific prohibition against eating meat that has been “torn” by a...

Kashrut

...and birds must be slaughtered according to a ritual that, if violated, makes the meat “unfit” for use. Food ritually unfit, for whatever reason, is called “forbidden” (terefah), the opposite of kosher (“fit,” or “proper”). Because animal blood may not be eaten, meat must undergo a ritual process of presoaking and “salting”...

kosher

...kosher is also used to describe, for instance, such objects as a Torah scroll, water for ritual bathing (mikvah), and the ritual ram's horn (shofar). When applied to food, kosher is the opposite of terefah (“forbidden”); when applied to other things, it is the opposite of pasul (“unfit”).


Zav and Zavah are states of ritual impurity in Judaism arising from abnormal bodily discharges; for men the state is termed zav, and for women it is termed zavah. The Jewish regulations and existence of these states have a biblical basis[1][2], and further specification of these rules exists in the Jewish Oral Law; Orthodox Judaism views the Shulchan Aruch as being particularly authoritative on these matters, and it has extensive discussion about the subject. Normal menstruation is explicitly excluded from the biblical regulations concerning zavah[3], and is treated with separate requirements known as niddah[4]; the ejaculation of semen is also treated as being distinct from zav, and is given requirements known as keri[5].

n183. It is forbidden to eat the “Gid-HaNasheh” (Beresheet 32:33).

Gid haNasheh - The Forbidden Vein

Whether one may not eat it: Pesachim 22a
Whether one may not Benefit from it: Pesachim 22a
Forbidden Vein from a Wild Animal: Pesachim 23b
Eating the Forbidden Vein from a Corpse: Pesachim 47b; Makkot 22a
Whether the vein is permitted for benefit along with the Corpse containing it: Pesachim 23b
Whether Veins are considered to be Meat and contribute taste, or not: Pesachim 22a, 23b
Whether there is an extra prohibition against the Forbidden Vein from a Forbidden Species: Pesachim 22a
Lashes for eating this: Makkot 21b
Liability for cooking and eating gid hanasheh [sciatic neurovascular bundle] in milk on Yom Tov: Beitzah 12a-b

Can Non-Kosher Animals be used Kosherly?

Article was send to my egroup, Rabbi Yehudah share interest question for us to think about.

Can Non-Kosher Animals be used Kosherly?
By Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr

I recently had a most thought provoking question by an online friend of mine that I have thought about briefly, but I honestly never really considered… and I'm a Rabbi! Now my answer will be strictly held to the Scriptures for I'm sure there is some Talmudic technicalities and such pertaining to this subject.

So can Jews were pearl necklaces that come from the unclean oyster? 

Well can the Gates to the New Jerusalem be made of pearl (Rev. 21:21)?

Interestingly enough the techellet (blue dye) we wear on our tzitzit comes from a recently rediscovered sea snail, and might I remind you that Eliyahu the Navi (Prophet) of G-d was feed my unclean ravens (I Kings 17:4)? The Patriarchs and other Biblical persons road camels, donkeys and horses all unclean animals and to ride them require touching.

I will say that a Jewish Tradition concerning the World to Come, that we will be permitted to eat what was considered unclean in this current world.

So, can we use violin bows that use horse hair? I don't know ask the Jewish violinist Yitzhak Pearlman. Is there such a thing as "kosher glue"? Can we touch pigskin footballs or use boar hair brushes, etc.? To my understanding we may not touch a carcass of a dead animal, (Lev. 17:15-16, Lev.5:2, Lev. 11:8), but again this is dealing with the consumption of such meat. I see now prohibition of slaughtering an unclean animal to use for practical or esthetic purposes.

Granted a Kohen (Priest) and one who has taken a Nazarite vow is held to a higher standard and is prohibited from touching any unclean animal or things (Lev.22, Num. 6).

Let us remember the state of uncleanness is not a sin Yeshua Messiah was unclean much of the time by the places he went (sick people's house, grave yards where demon possessed people lived, etc.) and the people he was around. It's an unavoidable fact of life, with the wars and Native peoples who lived in our lands, how do we know if the ground we walk on contains a dead body?
 
The state of "uncleanness" is mostly in regards not being allowed to coming to the Temple, Tabernacle, or handling Holy Objects and in our day is solved by a simple Mikvah (Baptism) and will be unclean until evening.

Shalom,
--Rabbi Yehudah
