Torah Portion: Terumah (Shemot 25:1-27:19)

February 12, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 51 MB

Here is a d’rash (commentary) on the Torah Portion – Terumah. This parsha highlights the preparation for the Mishkan – the Tabernacle – and details different components including the Ark of the Covenant and the Menorah.

February 05, 2024 13:00 - 2 hours - 86 MB

This is our commentary on the portion Mishpatim – “Judgments.” This portion contains God’s instructions and ordinances that will govern Israel’s civil interaction with their fellow man.

This is our commentary on the portion B’shelach – “Sent out.” In this portion, Israel goes out of Egypt with a “high hand” which,  a few days later, provokes Pharaoh to pursue the Hebrews – something that had to happen that God would get honor on Pharaoh. There is a lot to address so start […]

December 18, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 51 MB

Shalom! Here is our commentary on the portion Vayigash - "And he approached." This is one of the most prophetic portions in all of Scripture for it tells of the one who was despised by his brethren, only to be revealed to them in a time of life-threatening crisis. It also marks the beginning of Israel's sojourn in Egypt. Much to glean from this sidrah. Hope you enjoy.

Torah Portion: Miketz (B’reshiyt 41:1 – 44:17)

December 11, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 61 MB

Shalom! This is my commentary on the portion Miketz - "at the end." For years, this portion has fascinated me, not only for the fascinating story but, for the prophetic elements. Understanding that we interpret the end from "the beginning" (Isa. 46:8-10), that a torah portion is called "at the end" should grab our attention. Hope you enjoy.

This is my commentary on the torah portion Vayetze - "And he went out." This parsha details Jacob's journey into Padam-aram and his time spent under the oppression of Laban.

Torah Portion: Toledot (B’reshiyt 25:19 – 28:9)

November 13, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 69.1 MB

This is my commentary on the torah portion Toledot - "generations." This parsha, in my opinion, is one of the most astounding and prophetically rich portions in the Torah. Here we are introduced to Jacob and Esau and see the developing story of two brothers at odds with each other and how their conflict affects the entire world to this very day.  Hope you enjoy!

Torah Portion: Chayeh Sarah (B’reshiyt 23:1 – 25:18)

November 06, 2023 13:00 - 54 minutes - 37.1 MB

This is my commentary on the torah portion Chayeh Sarah - "Life of Sarah." Though it begins with a narrative concerning Sarah's death, the greater part of this sidrah is devoted to Abraham's desire to find a proper wife for his son Isaac. In this story we see a picture of the Heavenly Father's devotion to finding a wife for His Son. Shalom!

Torah Portion: Vayera (B’reshiyt 18:1 – 22:24)

October 30, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 46.9 MB

This is my commentary on the torah portion Vayera - "And He appeared." In this torah portion we see the culmination of Abraham's transformation from just a man with a calling to the spiritual father of a nation. The pinnacle of this sidrah is the akeidah - the binding of Isaac - and Abraham's unwavering faith in the Heavenly Father. Hope you enjoy!

Torah Portion: Lech L’cha (B’reshiyt 12:1 – 17:27)

October 23, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 75.4 MB

This is my commentary on the torah portion Lech L'cha- "Go for yourself." In this portion we have one of the most important stories Scripture has to offer - the call of Abram of Ur to become Abraham the Hebrew. Moreover, the events described in this portion relating to Abraham's life are a pattern for what the seed of Abraham (you and me) will encounter in our lives and in these last days. Shalom!

Torah Portion: Noah (B’reshiyt 6:9 – 11:32)

October 16, 2023 13:00 - 2 hours - 120 MB

October 09, 2023 13:00 - 6 hours - 276 MB

Torah Portion: V’zot Ha’berachah (D’varim 33:1 – 34:12)

October 02, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.2 MB

Shalom. This is our commentary on the Torah's final portion, V'zot Ha'Berachah - "And this is the blessing." In this portion, Moses prepares to be gathered unto "his fathers" but before leaving this world, like Jacob, he blesses the tribes of Israel. In doing so, Moses exemplifies the characteristics of a great leader: he blesses those who provoked his  transgression which kept him from going into the Land. Also, like Jacob, Moses blends prophecy with the blessing indicating what is to be the...

Torah Portion – Ha’azinu (D’varim 32:1 – 32:52)

September 18, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 44.4 MB

Shalom. Here is our commentary on the parsha Ha'azinu or "listen." This portion is the song of Moses given to Israel just before his death. In it we learn the faithfulness of God in the face of Israel's unfaithfulness and ingratitude. Yet, we also learn that, in the end of days, the Creator will demonstrate to Israel that He alone is able to deliver them and will do it for the sake of His great Name. Hope you enjoy.

Torah Portion – Vay’yelech (D’varim 31:1 – 30)

September 04, 2023 13:01 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MB

Shalom. This is our audio commentary on the portion Vay'yelech - "and he went." On the last day of his life, Moses went through the camp to encourage the people that the Creator would continue to guide them even though he, Moses, would no longer be with them. Yet, he also warned them that, in the future, their disobedience would cause God to "hide" His face from them and it wouldn't be until the end of days that their descendants would turn back to God with their whole heart. There is much to...

Torah Portion – Nitzavim (D’varim 29:10 – 30:20)

September 04, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MB

Shalom! This is our audio commentary on the portion nitzavim - "standing." As Moses' life draws to a close, he reminds the people to beware of the idolatry they will encounter in the Land. This sidrah emphasizes the ramifications of having a "root of gall and wormwood" both to the individual and the nation. One verse in this portion also addresses the concept of things "concealed" and things "revealed" and how it relates to the redemption. Much more. Download PDF by copying and pasting this ...

Torah Portion – Ki Tavo (D’varim 26:1 – 29:9)

August 28, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MB

Shalom! This is our commentary on the portion Ki tavo - "when you come (into the land)." In this torah portion, the most prominent feature is the "blessings and curses" presented to Israel as a result of obedience or disobedience. Yet, there are other pretty interesting components in this portion. One of them is a possible allusion to the coming anti-Messiah. Where, you say, is that found? You'll have to listen to the audio. Blessings and hoping you enjoy the teaching. Download PDF by copyin...

Torah Portion – Ki Tetze (D’varim 21:10 – 25:19)

August 21, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 72.8 MB

Shalom. Here is our audio commentary on the torah portion ki tetze - "when you go out." There are so many issues that are addressed in this portion that it would require an essay to summarize them for you here; I will simply highlight some of the major ones for you. --The "beloved wife" and the "hated wife" --The rebellious son --Prohibition against mingled seed --Divorce I hope you enjoy the teaching.

Torah Portion – Shoftim (D’varim 16:18-21:9)

August 14, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 80.7 MB

Shalom. Here is the audio commentary on the portion, shoftim or "judges." The main emphasis of this portion is the status, qualifications and responsibilities of the officers and leaders of Israel: judges, the king, priests and the prophets. Of particular interest is Moses' prophecy of "a prophet like unto me." There was a lot to consider in this portion and hope this commentary will prompt you to dig some more. Enjoy!

Torah Portion – Re’eh (D’varim 11:26 – 16:17)

August 07, 2023 13:00 - 58 minutes - 109 MB

Shalom. This is the (lengthy) commentary on Re'eh - "to see." There was so much material in this portion - the Place where He sets His Name, false prophets and lying signs as well as the Year of Release - that I couldn't limit it to the typical 60 - 90 minute format. As you can "see" there are three parts. Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy it and glean from it as much as I did.

Torah Portion – Ekev (D’varim 7:12-11:25)

July 31, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 63.6 MB

Shalom. This is my commentary on the parsha Ekev or "reward." This focuses on the spiritual preparations for possessing the land. In this portion we learn that for Israel to do so meant they must resist the temptation of foreign gods as the well as the temptation that the fertile land and its bounty would present - the opportunity to forget God and His commands. Thus, Moses compels them to circumcise their hearts; to hear Him, to fear Him and love Him. This is a very "rich" parsha - I hope yo...

Torah Portion – V’et chanan (D’varim 3:23 – 7:11)

July 24, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 67.7 MB

Shalom everyone. This is our commentary on the portion called V'etchanan. This sidrah covers quite a few topics including the prohibition not to mingle with the inhabitants of the Land and Israel's creed to live by - the Sh'ma.

Torah Portion – D’varim (D’varim 1:1 – 3:22)

July 17, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 51.2 MB

Shalom everyone. This is our commentary on the initial Torah portion of D'varim, called D'varim - "words." !In the portion, Moses encourages Israel to, not only listen to his words but, hear him. He exhorts them, as they prepare to enter the land, not to fear the obstacles, namely, the giants and the fortified cities. Enjoy!

Torah Portion – Massei (B’midbar 33:1 – 36:13)

July 10, 2023 13:01 - 58 minutes - 40.1 MB

Shalom everyone. This is our commentary on the concluding Torah portion of B'midbar, Massei - "journeys." This portion gives an overview of Israel's journeys through the wilderness, from the departure from Egypt until the encampment on the plains of Moav. Also included are instructions to Israel to drive out all the inhabitants of Canaan; the reason being similar to that of why Israel was told to destroy the Midianites. Israel cannot coexist with the corrupting influence of the nations or tha...

Torah Portion – Mattot (B’midbar 30:1 – 32:42)

July 10, 2023 13:00 - 38 minutes - 26.1 MB

Shalom everyone. This is our commentary on the Torah portion, Mattot. As this portion begins, it focuses on the sacredness of vows. This principle becomes very important as the portion unfolds for the tribes of Reuben and Gad. We also see in the war against Midian that Israel must learn the importance of destroying that which would destroy you before its too late. Enjoy. Download PDF by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://billcloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Mattot.pdf

Torah Portion- Pinchas (B’midbar 25:10 – 29:40)

July 03, 2023 13:00 - 58 minutes - 40.1 MB

Shalom everyone. This is our commentary on the Torah portion, Pinchas. The beginning of this sidrah continues the narrative of Pinchas’ actions as a result of the sin of Ba’al Peor. As a reward for his righteous zeal, he is promoted from Levitical status to that of priest. We also read of Moses’ impending death and the decision that Joshua the son of Nun would succeed him. Enjoy. Download PDF

Torah Portion – Balak (B’midbar 22:2 – 25:9)

July 11, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Balak.  In this portion we see that, despite his best efforts, the Adversary can't curse what the Father has blessed. However, we also learn that, when we let our guard down, he seduces us into behavior that will do to us what he doesn't have the authority to do. Download PDF by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://billcloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Balak.pdf

Torah Portion Chukat (B’midbar 19:1 – 22:1)

July 04, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.5 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Chukat.  Who can render something pure from something that is impure? This is the prevailing theme in this Torah portion. In the ritual of the Red Heifer and again in the Brazen Serpent, we see this paradox. Ultimately, what we are supposed to see is the nature and role of the Messiah Y'shua. Download PDF by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://billcloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Chukat.pdf

Torah Portion – Korah (B’midbar 16:1-18:32)

June 27, 2022 13:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Korah. Rather than complaining about a lack of food and water, this portion describes a full scale revolt against Moses and Aaron coming from two different factions - one led by Korah the Levite and another led by chief men of the tribe of Reuben. As we learn, this revolt is effectively a rebellion against God and His commands. As other rebels in Scripture, Korah poses as one who speaks for the people while disguising his own ambitions. I...

Torah Portion – Shelach L’cha (B’midbar 13:1-15:41)

June 20, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 45.8 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, shelach l'cha or "send for yourself." In this portion, Israel is at the threshold of crossing into the land of Canaan. However, an expedition of twelve scouts intended to discover how to take the land turned into an evil report that concluded, "we are unable to take the land." As a result, the conquest of Canaan was delayed by almost forty years. In this torah portion we also learn how this ominous day proved to be a day of mourning and l...

Torah Portion – Beha’alotcha (B’midbar 8:1 – 12:16)

June 13, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.2 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Beha'alotcha or "when you kindle." In Leviticus 8, the Torah teaches of the consecration of the Kohenim. In Numbers 8, the Torah teaches of the consecration of the Levi'im (Levites) as they assume the position of the "firstborn" of Israel. In this torah portion we also learn of the Pesach sheni (second Passover) and its possible connection to a second exodus. Most notable in this portion is the murmuring against Moses and the lust for the...

Torah Portion – Naso (B’midbar 4:21 – 7:89)

June 06, 2022 13:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Naso or "take the sum." In this portion, the text continues to describe the division of the Levitical families and their duties concerning the transport of the Sanctuary. It also introduces us to the Ordeal of Jealousy and the vows of a Nazirite. In these two contrasting principles we see how disdainful it is when one does not walk above reproach compared to the one who separates himself from the world more than others by taking a vow of a...

Torah Portion: B’midbar (B’midbar 1:1-4:20)

May 30, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 46 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Bemidbar or "in the wilderness." In this portion, we see how the tribes were numbered and assigned into four different camps. These camps with their respective standards are seen as the equivalent of the four living creatures who surround the Throne of God. We also how the Levitical families served as a "bodyguard" to the palace (mishkan) of the King. This is a very interesting portion and I hope you will enjoy the teaching. Blessings! Do...

Torah Portion – Bechukotai (Vayikra 26:3 – 27:34)

May 23, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 50.5 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Bechukotai or "in my statutes." In this portion, the Scripture describes the blessings that come with obedience and details the judgments that come with disobedience. In this sidrah, Israel is warned that blatant disregard for God's commands have terrible consequences, in fact, five groups of seven punishments, each worse than the previous one. Yet, we also see that these punishments are not meant to destroy His people but to provoke them ...

Torah Portion – Behar (Vayikra 25:1 – 26:2)

May 16, 2022 13:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

This is our d'rash (commentary) on the torah portion, Be'har or "on the mount." In this portion, the Scripture details two other commands of rest - the sh'mittah (sabbatical year) and the yovel (jubilee). One of the prevailing concepts in this sidrah is that the land is God's and is, therefore, expected to be in His service as well as His people. As we see in this portion, where the land is concerned, His people are considered "strangers" and "settlers" or, if you will, tenants with the respo...

Torah Portion – Emor (Vayikra 21:1 – 24:23)

May 09, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 52.5 MB

This is a commentary on the Torah portion Emor – “say.” This torah portion turns its attention back to the priests and their responsibility to maintain higher standards of purity. Though addressing the priests, we who have been called out of darkness into His marvelous light to be a royal priesthood should take note of the fact that, the Creator expects more from His people than He does those who are not. We are not permitted to excuse ourselves from our responsibility to be a light to the n...

Torah Portion – Kedoshim (Vayikra 19:1 – 20:27)

May 02, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 50 MB

This is a commentary on the Torah portion Kedoshim – “Holy.” If  the previous portion begins what is regarded as lev ha'torah (the heart of the Torah), this portion is the "heart of the heart." This sidrah defines the call to Israel to be holy "because I the LORD your God am holy." This portion emphasizes the need to be holy - kadosh (set apart) - but in the right way and for the right purpose. While we cannot imitate God's purity entirely, we can imitate His attributes in that He is mercifu...

Torah Portion – Acharei Mot (Vayikra 16:1 – 18:30)

April 25, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 56.7 MB

This is a commentary on the Torah portion Acharei Mot – “After the death.” This portion begins what is regarded as lev ha'torah (the heart of the Torah) and emphasizes how the Creator is to be approached and uses the death of Aaron's sons to make the point that it must not be done "at all times." The first section details the protocol and procedures of Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement. In this we see shades of Y'shua's sacrifice as our heavenly High Priest as well as accentuating the fact t...
