This week and next week we will read the letters of Paul. It is important to keep in mind that most of the letters are written to an audience of people who were not Jewish.

This week’s Torah portion contains the famous verse that Yeshua quotes as the second most important commandment.

The first letters we will read this week were written to Jewish Messiah Followers and all Messiah Followers in the “commonwealth of Israel."

As we enter week three of Counting the Omer, let us pray and seek the face of Adonai for spiritual renewal and transformation.

We could say that in our Torah portion this week "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" for Aaron.

As we enter week two of counting the omer, I hope you are getting the big picture of the accounts of the life of Yeshua in the gospels.
