Ba Midbar/In the desert/ Num 11:4-6 “Now the mixed multitude who were among them craved more desirable foods, and so the Israelites wept again and said, “If only we had meat to eat!note We remember the fish we used to eat freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.

COMMENTARY ON THE PARASHAH

"THE LONG JOURNEY THAT IS OUR LIFE"

This Parasha is talking about the long journey of the Jewish People from slavery in Mitzraim to liberty in Israel, the Promised Land. Besides being a historic journey of a specific people, the Parasha is a parable of our own life as well as the lives of all human beings, who are born in the most profound spiritual, mental and physical obscurity, bound to Mitzraim, slavery, vices, materialism, the flesh and its petty and its passing desires.

It is a physical journey that is compared to a mental and spiritual journey which is open to all human beings. We are born in the night of the soul and the spirit. We are born lost and “without hope in the world” (Ep 2:12), slaves of Nimrod and his polytheistic and idolatrous religion, with millions of gods, full of lies and deceit, only with the consolation of the flesh, the fish, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic which we miss so terribly, poor us if we don´t have them. Elohim offers man to us (from mah = what?), which represents the spiritual life, the food that comes from Above/mi le Malah, but instead, we are crying because we miss so much the meat and the onions.

This is the question: what are we going to ask for? Meat or man? And also: how long are we going to crave for the meat and the garlic?

COMMENTARY ON THE PARASHAH

"THE SEVEN RULES FOR AN EFFECTIVE

MARRIAGE"

Once a reporter asked a famous man what the secret of his 50 years marriage was. The answer was: “The formula is the same that I used to manufacture what I manufacture: I dedicate always to the same model”.

In messianic Judaism and according to the renewed Covenant it is very difficult to divorce, for that reason it is necessary to understand well and put in practice some rules for the wellbeing of our actual or future marriage.

BASHERTER / OR DO WE CHOOSE?

As we write for messianic Jews/ renewed messianics, the first rule is that a successful marriage starts with Elohim and IN Elohim. He is the One who must choose the partner, not us. As our readers know, we believe that Elohim has predestinated everything, all the more such an important subject as our marriage. There is a basherte/r that had to be our spouse waiting for us (singles and divorced, obviously), according to the Elohim´s Will. Our prayer and that of our parents and grandparents should be that the two who are basherte/r/destined from before the foundation of the world, may find each other and come together.

COMMENTARY ON THE PARASHAH

"THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THE MITZVOT/COMMANDMENTS OF ELOHIM"

In this portion of the Torah/Parasha, Elohim is talking about the census of the Bnei Israel/Children of Israel.

For Elohim, one of the main reasons of the census is to train His People to serve Him; this serving is to establish an eternal relationship with the Creator that only brings blessings, if we obey Him.

Furthermore, Elohim mentions two different destinies for Israel: or they would rise up to historic greatness, to what they are destined, or they would be destroyed; or they would have success in conquering the land of Israel or, if they fail to follow Elohim, disobeying Him, they would be defeated in attempting.

As we know, the people of Israel proved that were not yet ready to obey Elohim, and that generation was discarded, with the exception of a remnant. It turned out that Elohim´s invitation was a prediction of what was to come.

COMMENTARY ON THE PARASHAH

Vaikráh/And called/”Lev”25:21: “Then I will command my blessing/brakha upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years”.

"HOW TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL BLESSINGS FROM ELOHIM"

In this portion of the Torha/Parasha, Elohim is talking about His Blessings, what we would call “financial” in our modern era.

Why write about financial issues in a Parasha? First of all, because this is the subject of the week, as we mentioned before, and second, because finances are a form of lock/Mitzraim, like any other form of latches: psychological, spiritual or family problems. Elohim of Israel is NOT against financial stability, on the contrary: He gives it to His children, to those who are with Him and follow Him. But yes, He is against “loving money”, which is something quite different. We must stay focused on Elohim, but that does not mean that we must stop working and maintain our family. But, to do the above mentioned, we must know how to maintain our family in a level to which we are used to, and not everybody knows how to do this. We know that this Parasha is read throughout Latin America and in some cities of the United States of America, and there is also needed the Jewish view of this subject. Traditionally and historically, the Jewish people have been blessed by Elohim in this area, and they have come to know the secrets of financial success.

COMMENTARY ON THE PARASHAH

"THE TRUE MEANING OF HOLINESS/KEDUSHAH, ACCORDING TO ELOHIM"

We have written many times about holiness/kedushah/being set aside from the disbelieving world, but this year we are going to examine further what Elohim says about the topic.

We have put the word “Elohim” instead of “God” and “ADONAI” instead of “LORD”, and we also have put the original names of persons and places. Furthermore, we explain and comment some of the difficult words, which we do in (brackets). You find underlined and written in italic letters, subjects we consider especially important. Moreover, we have improved what was not well translated.

It is written in Vaikrah/And called/”Lev.” 19:

COMENTARIO DE LA PARASHÁH  

“Ustedes, (Moshéh y Aharón) deben prevenir a los israelíes acerca de su impureza, para que ella no les provoque la muerte si es que ella contamina Mi Tabernáculo que está en medio de ellos.” (Vaikráh/”Lev. 15:31) 

“EL PODER DE LAS  

PALABRAS” 

Esta parasháh trata de un tema extremadamente importante: la relación directa entre los problemas de la piel (tzaaráh), como resultado de impurezas del lenguaje, tanto el pensado como el hablado. 

En el trasfondo, se encuentra el poder de las palabras, especialmente, si este lenguaje es en el idioma hebreo, que ha satán ha logrado ocultar por tantos siglos para que no usemos el gran poder de Elohím y ha engañado a los creyentes haciéndoles creer que el Pacto Renovado estuvo originalmente escrito en griego (y para los que no se creen éso, “en arameo”, con tal de no decir la verdad: “en hebreo.”) 

Me dijo Elohím para esta parasháh: “Mis Palabras/Dvarím son Mi Aliento Santo (Rúaj ha Kódesh) pero sin Mi Poder. Igual tienen algo de poder, porque Yo las he creado, pero son pronunciadas por seres humanos caídos (del Paraiso/Gan Éden) y por lo tanto, no tienen Mi Poder de Creación/Destrucción pero igual tienen poder.” (Las palabras entre comillas y subrayadas son de Elohím en profecía en nuestras parashót.)

COMENTARIO DE LA PARASHÁH 

Vaikráh/Y llamó/”Lev.” 10:3: “Esto es lo que dijo ADONÁI:En los que se acercan a mí, mostraré mi santidad, y ante todo el pueblo seré glorificado”. 

CÓMO LOGRAR NUESTRA SANTIDAD 

La Santidad/Kedusháh es un requisito que está en el Pacto Renovado: “Sean santos, como Yo soy Santo” dice ADONÁI en 1ª P. 1:16. 

Pero, ¿qué es ser santos/kadoshím? ¿Cómo hacerlo? ¿Cómo lograr tener kedusháh? 

La palabra “kadósh/santo” significa, primero que nada, estar separado para Elohím, no mezclado con el resto del mundo que no conoce, o no desea conocerlo. La primera regla para la kedusháh, entonces es: 

ESTAR SEPARADOS (PARA ÉL)  

Vivimos en un mundo lleno de actividades, de trabajo, de cosas por hacer, de ideas e imágenes diferentes, la mayoría de ellas no de Elohím, que nos contagian en todo sentido, y casi siempre, no en el buen sentido de la palabra. Debemos apartarnos un tiempo todos los días, para estar con Él, para sentir Su Presencia en nosotros, y para pedir Su consejo y Su guía para nuestra vida, para los miembros de nuestra familia, como lo hizo nuestro Modelo, Ieshúa ha Mashíaj. “…subió al monte para orar a solas; y cuando llegó la noche, estaba allí solo”. Mt. 14:23. Los montes en Israel son apenas colinas, pero nos dan una perspectiva de soledad y de aislamiento, que es lo necesario para estar en comunicación con el Padre y contarles nuestras quejas, penurias, y cosas hermosas que nos han sucedido, e interceder por aquellos menos afortunados que nosotros, que están con algún problema o enfermedad. Personalmente, prefiero la orilla del mar, en un lugar rocoso, para contemplar el agua moviéndose, agitándose como el mundo se agita, pero con un ritmo diferente, que llama a comunicarse con Elohím. 

En medio de esa soledad, estamos rodeados de Su Presencia y de Su misericordia para con nosotros, que nada somos en realidad. Pero para Él, somos preciosos, aunque muchas veces no lo creamos.
