Episode 236: Striving For Excellence What does it truly mean for the Hebrew in exile to strive for excellence in the eyes of the Most High Yahweh? In this thought-provoking episode of Hebrews in Exile, we explore the responsibility of Hebrew Israelites to pursue excellence through obedience to Yahweh's mitzvot (commandments), recognizing that excellence is not simply a personal aspiration but a covenant responsibility. Our discussion examines how walking in Yahweh's ways establishes a standard of righteousness, discipline, accountability, and compassion. As Hebrews living among the nations, our conduct should serve as a living testimony to the sovereignty, wisdom, and righteousness of the Most High. We also explore an often-overlooked dimension of the mitzvot: the compassion embedded within Yahweh's commandments. His instructions are not merely rules to be followed, but a reflection of His justice, mercy, and concern for how we treat one another. Ultimately, striving for excellence requires more than acknowledging Yahweh's authority. It demands that we demonstrate our commitment through our daily actions, relationships, and observance of His commandments. Hosted by Moreh Robert B. Holman Jr., assisted by Moreh Malka and Moreh Sean Appleton. Join us as we challenge ourselves and the Hebrew community in exile to raise our standards, embrace the compassion within the mitzvot, and exemplify Yahweh's sovereignty before the nations. Excellence in Yahweh's ways is not merely what we proclaim; it is what we practice. #HebrewsInExile #Yahweh #HebrewIsraelites #Mitzvot #StrivingForExcellence #Torah #HebraicLifestyle #CovenantResponsibility

Episode 235: Hebrew Solidarity What does the future hold for Hebrew Israel while living in exile, and how can we influence the political, social, and economic environments in which we live without compromising our commitment to Yahweh? In this thought-provoking episode of Hebrews in Exile, we examine the challenges and responsibilities facing Hebrew Israelites as a distinct community functioning within a greater nation. While subject to political systems, laws, and institutions beyond our direct control, Hebrew Israel must consider how to establish a meaningful presence, exercise collective influence, and create opportunities for long-term stability, success, and prosperity. Central to this discussion is a fundamental question: Can Hebrew Israel achieve lasting success in exile without first establishing a community infrastructure rooted in the mitzvot of the Most High Yahweh? We explore the importance of building strong institutions, developing political awareness, encouraging economic cooperation, strengthening community leadership, and creating a unified vision for future generations. More importantly, we examine why our pursuit of political influence and prosperity must remain subordinate to our covenant obligations and the commandments of Yahweh. Our future cannot depend solely upon the political decisions of the greater nation in which we reside. It must also depend upon our willingness to organize, take responsibility for our collective condition, and establish a community whose principles, governance, and conduct reflect the ways of Yahweh. Hosted by Moreh Robert B. Holman Jr., with Moreh Malka and Moreh Sean Appleton, this episode challenges Hebrew Israel to look beyond the circumstances of exile and consider what must be done today to secure a stronger tomorrow. The question is not simply whether Hebrew Israel can survive in exile, but whether we can build, prosper, and positively influence the world around us while remaining obedient to Yahweh. Hebrews in Exile — One people, one covenant, one commitment to Yahweh.

Episode 234: Hebrew Solidarity In this episode of Hebrews in Exile, officiated by the Honorable Robert B. Holman Jr. and assisted by Morah Malka Amina and Moreh Sean Appleton, we examine one of the most persistent challenges facing Hebrew Israel in exile: our ability to come together as one people. What prevents Hebrew Israel from developing true solidarity and unity? Is it pride, competing doctrines, disagreements over leadership, mistrust, personal agendas, unresolved offenses, or the tendency to place individual congregations and organizations above the needs of the greater nation? This discussion looks closely at the roadblocks that continue to separate Hebrew Israelites and asks what must change if we are going to function with greater accountability, cooperation, and collective purpose. Unity does not require complete agreement on every issue, but it does require humility, discipline, respect, and a willingness to recognize that the restoration of Hebrew Israel is greater than any one individual, teacher, congregation, or organization. Join Hebrews in Exile as we confront the obstacles to solidarity and consider what it means to truly move forward together as a people committed to Yahweh.

Episode 233: Reflections on Yom Terumah In this episode of Hebrews in Exile, we explore Yom Teruah—the Feast of Trumpets. We discuss the biblical mitzvot connected to this appointed time, when it should be observed, its spiritual significance, and its call for Yahweh’s people to assemble, remember, and respond. We also examine the challenges modern-day Hebrew Israelites may encounter while preparing to observe Yom Teruah in exile. As the feast approaches, this discussion encourages us to examine ourselves, strengthen our connection with Yahweh, and make the necessary spiritual and practical preparations to honor this set-apart day faithfully.

Episode 232: Hebraic Salvation   What Does Salvation Look Like From a Hebraic Perspective? What does it truly mean to be saved in the eyes of Yahweh? Is salvation simply a matter of what a person believes, or does the Hebraic understanding of salvation require something more? In this episode of Hebrews In Exile, we examine salvation from a Hebraic perspective by asking an important question: If salvation is connected to a person's belief system, what must that person actually believe, do, and become in order to receive salvation from Yahweh? We explore the relationship between belief, repentance, obedience, righteousness, covenant, and returning to the ways of the Most High. From a Hebraic perspective, belief is not merely an internal profession—it is demonstrated through how a person lives, the choices they make, and whether they are willing to turn away from disobedience and walk according to Yahweh’s instructions. For Hebrew Israelites living in exile, this discussion challenges us to examine whether our understanding of salvation has been shaped by the Scriptures themselves or by religious traditions that may have changed its original Hebraic meaning. What does Yahweh require from His people? Is acknowledging Him enough, or must belief produce repentance, obedience, and a transformed way of life? Join us as we examine what salvation looks like when viewed through a Hebraic lens and consider what it truly means to seek deliverance, restoration, and acceptance in the eyes of Yahweh alone.

Episode 231: Fear of Change Choosing Yahweh: Overcoming Fear in Exile For many Hebrew Israelites living in exile, recognizing the truth of Yahweh is only the beginning. The greater challenge can be having the courage to actually change—to let go of familiar traditions, religious customs, doctrines, and practices that may no longer align with the ways of the Most High. In this episode of Hebrews In Exile, we examine the fear, apprehension, and uncertainty that can arise when someone begins considering the transition to serving Yahweh only. What happens when truth challenges what we have practiced for years? How do family expectations, community pressure, fear of isolation, and uncertainty about the future influence our willingness to obey? We discuss practical strategies for confronting those fears, carefully examining our beliefs, and developing the confidence to walk according to the instructions and ways of Yahweh. The conversation encourages listeners not simply to acknowledge truth intellectually, but to consider what it means to have enough faith and conviction to act upon it. For Hebrews in exile, returning to Yahweh may require difficult decisions—but fear should never become the reason we refuse to move when the Most High is calling us toward obedience.

Episode 230: Yom Terumah - Feast of Trumpets  In this episode of Hebrews in Exile, we explore Yom Teruah—the Feast of Trumpets. We discuss the biblical mitzvot connected to this appointed time, when it should be observed, its spiritual significance, and its call for Yahweh’s people to assemble, remember, and respond. We also examine the challenges modern-day Hebrew Israelites may encounter while preparing to observe Yom Teruah in exile. As the feast approaches, this discussion encourages us to examine ourselves, strengthen our connection with Yahweh, and make the necessary spiritual and practical preparations to honor this set-apart day faithfully.

Episode 229: To Eat or Not to Eat In this episode of Hebrews in Exile, we examine the biblical mitzvah concerning the eating of meat—particularly Yahweh’s command that blood must not be consumed, but properly drained and poured upon or covered with the earth. This requirement is an essential part of preparing meat in a biblically acceptable manner. For Hebrews living in exile, obedience to this command can be challenging because we have become accustomed to commercially slaughtered meat without considering how it was processed. This discussion calls Yahweh’s people to reconsider their eating practices and begin reestablishing the importance of consuming properly slaughtered kosher meat.

Episode 228: Putting Hebrew Back into Text  One of our major criticisms of the New Testament writing is that it lacks the insertion of the Hebraic culture when being explained. Scholars of the New Testament conveniently leave out the social Hebraic components from their explanations. Thus, when you remove the Hebraic component from the New Testament, you lose the connection to the Most-High, commandments, the set apart people, and the promised land. This podcast discusses the intentional removal pf the Hebrew culture as an agenda to divert you away from the Most-High.     Information on First Tabernacle Fellowship can be at found at:  www.firsttab

Episode 227: When People Don't Want to Hear What happens when discussing the Most-High with someone and they resist the information. Often times we may find the conversation arduous because it may take too long to fully explain. Also, there may be some apprehension as the familiarity of the subject matter may be complicated to explain. In this podcast we discuss over coming these challenges so the Most-High can be introduced.    Information on First Tabernacle Fellowship can be at found at:  www.firsttab
