Can we do תפילות prayers for:
That also through them The האור Light, רפואה The Healing and The ואהבה Love of ישועת יהוהYeshuath YHWH may come back to הארץ The Land of Israel?
Shalom Chaverim (friends)!
Have you ever wondered why the name of the Torah portion containing the giving of the Ten Commandments (Words) is named after Yitro (Jethro), Moshe’s father-in-law? Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum shares interesting insights:
“It is fitting that the parashah which tells of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai is named after Yitro, Moses’ father-in-law –a convert. Indeed, all those who witnessed the giving of the Torah were “converts”…. For before G-d, we are all converts – Gerim, “dwellers” in a land and on an earth that is not ours but G-d’s. We are all here only by the grace of G-d, utterly dependent upon His kindness and compassion.
Thus no one can claim that the Torah belongs to him by right through ancestral or other merit. There is no room for pride, arrogance, or the exploitation of the Torah for worldly advantage. The Torah is not the property of an exclusive caste. It “belongs” only to one who keeps it…only through humility can we “receive” and accept the Torah, which belongs to G-d alone. Receiving the Torah means having the humility to accept it as it is, the way it has come down to us, without trying to “modify” it according to our own ideas and wishes.
…the Torah accords the greatest honor to those who have the courage to leave this servitude behind and “go out into the wilderness” in search of G-d –like Jethro. According to tradition, Jethro had investigated every conceivable way of interpreting and living in this world, every world-view and “lifestyle”. Only when Jethro came to HaShem and His Torah did he know he had found the truth….the revelation of G-d’s light and power is greatest precisely when it comes out of darkness and concealment. …Only one who was a slave truly understands what it means to have been freed. This is “the superiority of the light that comes out of darkness.” End of quote
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on Adonai Yeshua the Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Shabbat Shalom!
