Shalom! Welcome to Torah Is The Word’s study of Passover. Preface: We begin our Passover study series with a look into Exodus 12, where we see the original Passover story and the commands on how to keep it. Of course, in Christ, we no longer need to paint our doorposts with lamb’s blood, as Christ shed His blood for us on the stake. However, the Lord’s Appointed Times are Forever, and even Jesus (Yeshua) tells us to keep the Passover... Read more
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! It’s that time of year again, when everyone is Irish for a day. Yep, Saint Patrick’s Day. These days, most people don’t even realize who Saint Patrick was, only seeing March 17th, the day Patrick died, as a day to wear green and drink matching beer. But then, how much about Saint Patrick has anyone ever known? Ask most people who claim to know, and they’ll tell you he’s Catholic and the patron saint of Ireland... Read more

The Ten Commandments They are found in Exodus 20, verses 1-17. God spoke a specific set of words for Moses to pass on to the Israelites. Ten commands that sum up the heart of Torah, which is to love God with all our hearts, our souls and our minds, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. So why do people find it acceptable, even cute, to create “personalized” sets of commands? Cowboy’s Ten Commandments? For example, a few days ago,... Read more
Halloween. Should believers in Christ celebrate it? Some say no. Some say yes. Most believers say they do, but not with intent to celebrate evil. God knows their heart, they say. Others say it’s a church day, celebrating the Saints, while others yet, claim they’re celebrating Martin Luther’s Reformation Day. The thing is, Halloween is a day for celebrating the dead. A day that Celtic Pagans once believed was the one time each year the veil between the living and... Read more
The Feast of Trumpets: You Have Been Invited, Will You Attend? In Leviticus 23, the Lord spoke to Moses telling him, “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘the Lord’s appointed times which you should proclaim are holy convocations.'” The Lord then goes on to explain each Appointed Time (Moedim in Hebrew) or Feast Day. There are seven Biblical Feasts of the Lord: Passover Unleavened Bread First Fruits Shavuot (or Feast of Weeks or Pentecost)... Read more

It was here everyone and anyone, regardless of class, dress or status, could approach him. Put... Read more
The Law: Abolished or not? What does Scripture say? You asked your new neighbors out to dinner for Friday evening, but they declined. They explained it’s the Sabbath and they’d prefer to be home at sundown. Besides that, no regular work is to be done on the Sabbath, and no one, such as the server at a restaurant, should have to work for them “You’re Jewish?” you ask. It doesn’t matter to you either way, but you are curious.... Read more
What is God’s name? The Tetragrammaton explained God is known by many names. You may have heard titles such as, Elohim (Hebrew: god), Adonai (Hebrew: lord), Jehovah, HaShem (Hebrew: the name) to refer to God. But what IS God’s name? Does He have one? And how do we know how to pronounce it, if He does? The Burning Bush In the opening of Exodus 3, While tending sheep near Mt. Sinai, Moses encounters the Burning Bush, a... Read more
