    IBR Ep 96- Parashat Sh’mni
    Parsha Sh’mini is a beautiful picture of the ultimate purpose of Scripture and the heart of God. In our everyday lives, we are on the constant cycle, some may say hamster wheel, of work days and weekends. We deal with the stresses of life all while longing for the rest of the weekend. In parsha Sh’mini, we see the concept of the eighth day, a day that connotes a continuation of the peace and completeness we find in the Shabbat.

    IBR Ep 95- Parashat Vayikra- The Call
    For so many Christians, we are obsessed with God’s call. This desire, while admirable, is often misplaced. Oddly, we spend our entire lives seeking God’s call, while never reading the book of Scripture titled, “He called”. In this week’s parsha, Vayikra, we are challenged by the first two words…”He called”.
