Love and Torah - Part 1
Torah, or “the Law” – what’s love got to do with it? Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this teaching series with that song reference in order to make a point that he is determined to reveal how the giving of the Torah by our Creator and our guarding and obedience to it absolutely is connected to love. In the past, we’ve probably understood love in a certain way, but in this teaching Rabbi Berkson explores the different facets of love as spoken of in our scriptures.<br /> <br /> How does the English translation of the Bible do us a disservice in using the word ‘love’?<br /> <br /> How can we understand what is said in the New Testament?<br /> <br /> Going first to Matthew chapter 22, Rabbi Berkson show us how Yeshua brought out the two main relationships, us and the Creator and us with each other, and then connects the present to the past with the two great commands.<br /> <br /> Those who teach that the Law/Torah is done away with lack something that would allow them to carry out the two great commands – what is it?<br /> <br /> This teaching series will be packed full of vital information that will help you in your spiritual growth as you walk toward the Kingdom of Elohim, becoming the kind of person that He wants to live with forever.<br /> <br /> Related Teachings can be found here:<br /> • INfocus: This is the Good News https://youtu.be/doC343i4ki0<br /> • Are You Saved? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-XDS4JdFkY0WuOGluQm7_Y<br /> • INfocus: Guard the Commands https://youtu.be/puOc0xEzZcI<br /> • What Did Yeshua Do? https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/steveberkson/episodes/2012-05-14T13_57_36-07_00<br /> • Are You Covenanted? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_OEhd7K84LBs_jp6579C6U<br /> • INfocus: The Opportunist https://youtu.be/Tmb39PKkyqI<br /> • Yeshua, the Light of the World https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/steveberkson/episodes/2012-07-30T10_42_31-07_00<br /> • Do You Know the Father and the Son? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX85eE0WcFyzM6xquyz7r_RC<br /> • The Fear of Yahweh https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX8t0FwtfuLzlCSJdSrRlzXU<br /> • Walk in All His Ways https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_a8Max8kpGvsoMK7RJTCHI<br /> • Well Done, Good and Trustworthy Servant https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-M88aqIdeb7mT2kxEK2kNz<br /> • The Heart of the Matter https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_O_DuSxpxaOIPKqKENGP0s<br /> • The 613 Commandments https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX9tX40OOXfnU2ImgJjqoNP4<br /> • Understanding the Ruach/Spirit https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_0Mi7M6VeNIqg8eu1f_QBm<br /> <br /> Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Love and Torah - Part 3
What kind of relationship do we have with the Creator? Does all of His creation have this kind of relationship? What is the requirement for this relationship to be valid?<br /> <br /> Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this teaching episode of the series, Love and Torah, by going to 1 John chapter 3 and embarking on a “Life-Coaching” discourse about relationships involving husbands and wives, parents and children, and how they can serve as examples for the relationship between humans and Elohim.<br /> <br /> Does it ever seem like your friends and family don’t understand you anymore since you’ve started your Torah-Observance walk?

Love and Torah - Part 5
Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it?<br /> <br /> The reason we exist is to become more like our big brother, Messiah Yeshua. Living our lives according to the two great commandments, love your Elohim and love each other.<br /> <br /> Continuing in 1 John chapter 3, Rabbi Berkson starts in verse 11 and gives the example of Cain and how he could not control his own emotions which ended up in murdering his own brother Abel. We who are “in Covenant” are expected to treat our fellows also in Covenant with much humility and love, with self-control which is a fruit of the Spirit. Those that do not love their brother does not have everlasting life in them.<br /> <br /> Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in this passage so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.<br /> <br /> Related Teachings can be found here:<br /> • Are You Covenanted? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_OEhd7K84LBs_jp6579C6U<br /> • The Millennium and the Kingdom https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX9UNbkpvbCaWQXijbyGCLVK<br /> • Money Mastery https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_LEIHuNTkhCVHWqzAA-Xj5<br /> • Are You Saved? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-XDS4JdFkY0WuOGluQm7_Y<br /> • Understanding the Ruach/Spirit https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_0Mi7M6VeNIqg8eu1f_QBm<br /> • Whose Eyes Are You Right In? https://youtu.be/pfnzHFgNCWM<br /> • No Other Name https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX97oJF6RbG5szeUtuKPuBby<br /> • Darkness & Light https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-XQMZGFW34P2ukzmf_M2q1<br /> • Making Decisions…the reason you exist https://youtu.be/9RfUrlBAVWw<br /> <br /> Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Love and Torah - Part 6
Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it?<br /> <br /> What is it that Yahweh is expecting of you? Well, you may say, nothing – because Jesus has done it all for us. Is this true? Why or why not?<br /> <br /> Beginning this episode in Deuteronomy 10:12-13, Rabbi Steve Berkson presents what it is that Yahweh is expecting of all who choose to walk in covenant with Him.<br /> <br /> Then going backward a couple of books Rabbi Berkson makes an in-depth dissertation of the Ten Commandments from Exodus chapter 20.<br /> <br /> From there, back again into Deuteronomy, in chapter 6 where we find the Shema and the Vahavta, as Rabbi Berkson expounds on the foundation of covenant living with our Creator.<br /> <br /> Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.<br /> <br /> <br /> Related Teachings can be found here:<br /> • The Fear of Yahweh https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX8t0FwtfuLzlCSJdSrRlzXU<br /> • Walk in All His Ways https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_a8Max8kpGvsoMK7RJTCHI<br /> • INfocus: Guard the Commands https://youtu.be/puOc0xEzZcI<br /> • Discovering Your Identity https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX9sYCl1svmfxY2AfKCmf8H4<br /> • INfocus: Gentile Believer? https://youtu.be/bdrTUsnrDlY<br /> • The 613 Commandments https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX9tX40OOXfnU2ImgJjqoNP4<br /> • INfocus: The First Commandment https://youtu.be/lhFuKNmC0-A<br /> • No Other Name https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX97oJF6RbG5szeUtuKPuBby<br /> • Are You Saved? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-XDS4JdFkY0WuOGluQm7_Y<br /> • The Heart of the Matter https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_O_DuSxpxaOIPKqKENGP0s<br /> • Making Decisions…the reason you exist https://youtu.be/9RfUrlBAVWw<br /> <br /> Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

After an intense teaching session, you need answers as more thoughts and questions consume you in your spiritual growth.<br /> <br /> Rabbi Steve Berkson, director of MTOI, provides an opportunity for the Afterburn to take place by additional thoughts and insight about what he just taught as well as answering questions from the local congregation and those watching the live stream.<br /> <br /> Don't miss out on new teachings every week.
