When Your Husband Doesn't Keep Torah

What happens when a wedding or a funeral lands on Shabbat? In this short episode Amy Kay shares what she and her husband Todd do and don't do, why they hold the line from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, and how they honor the people they love in other ways and at other times. Shabbat is Yahweh's appointed day. People you love may be disappointed, but you can't please everybody. Please Yahweh.Amy's book, the 30-Day Sabbath Challenge, is on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3RwuJpR More at https://torahsisters.com

Hey Sisters — let’s talk about fasting on Yom Kippur. Some teachers say the command to “afflict yourself” only means a heart posture of humility. It means that too, but it also means to fast.In this episode, Amy walks through why: the Hebrew word anah (to afflict or humble yourself), the “not everyone can fast” argument and why it doesn’t hold water, the “Yahweh only wants good for us” argument, and why hard and uncomfortable doesn’t mean a command isn’t from Him. Circumcision on the eighth day is painful too — and we obey it anyway.There are no verses handed to you in this one. Go look them up yourself: search every instance of “afflict” (anah) in scripture, check Psalm 35, and see what it looks like when someone does it to themselves.Yom Kippur is a rehearsal for the day of judgment. Fast, humble yourself before Yahweh, and ask Him what kingdom work you could be doing to help spare people on that day. Yom Kippur is not a feast day. Don’t eat.Torah Sisters Magazine — the 7-book collection on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HBT82XMY Website: https://torahsisters.com

(Originally posted on my YouTube channel) Sisters, the fall feasts are the season of holy convocations — gathering with people. And people can be so discouraging: disagreements, disunity, sometimes even bickering. But you’re not here to worship people. You’re here to worship the Creator, the One who made you and sent His Son to redeem you.So as Sukkot approaches, find people to be with. If you can’t find a group, make an event — invite people over, set up a gathering at a park. Be the hostess. All you can control is yourself, so be a lovely person, and other lovely people will be drawn to you.Torah Sisters Magazine Collection books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HBT82XMY More encouragement at https://torahsisters.com
