The picturesque city of Mevaseret Zion is located just outside Jerusalem. It straddles both sides of the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway and has the highest per capita wealth in the Jerusalem district. A group of school boys were photographed reciting the Shema prayer at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The Shema contains the fundamental Jewish declaration of faith and is recited twice daily by observant Jews.

3. Deuteronomy 6:1, Statutes
• NAU Deuteronomy 6:1 "Now this is the commandment, the
statutes and the judgments which the LORD your God has
commanded me to teach you, that you might do them in the
land where you are going over to possess it, 2 so that you and
your son and your grandson might fear the LORD your God, to
keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command
you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be
prolonged.
• This word “statutes” is used 29X’s in Deut in the NAU, more
times than and any other book, even the Psalms, which has
3X’s as many chapters. It is used only 6X’s in the entire rest of
the Pentateuch.

4. Deuteronomy 6:4, God’s Love (gematriya)
Jerusalem Inspiration
• NAU Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God,
the LORD is one!
• This week's Bible portion contains the fundamental verse of
sh'-MA yis-ra-AYL, man's proclamation of his belief in
monotheism, the oneness of God. In the unique system of
'gematriya', in which every Hebrew letter is assigned a
numerical value, the word for one, 'ekhad' (‫)אחד‬ adds up to
13: ‫=א‬ 1; ‫=ח‬ 8; and ‫=ד‬ 4. The number 13 is also the number
value of the Hebrew word for love, 'ahavah' (‫,)אהבה‬ since ‫א‬
= 1; ‫=ה‬ 5; ‫=ב‬ 2; ‫=ה‬ 5. The hidden message of this
gematriya is that the greatest love is God's love for
mankind. Ahuva as well as Ahava are popular, female
Hebrew names.

8. Deut. 6:4-9, Shema Prayer
Holy Land Studies by Jonathan Lipnick
• (Deut. 6:4-9) “This is the most concise Jewish
declaration of faith and a mandatory prayer recited
twice every day (“when you lie down and when you
rise”) by observant Jews. As seen in the photo above
it is also handwritten by a scribe on a piece of
parchment which is affixed to the doorposts of one’s
home (“mezuzah”) as well as inserted into
phylacteries which are bound to the arm and
forehead (“tefillin”)… The Shema prayer skips over
this passage and only resumes several chapters later
in Deuteronomy 11…”

14. Deuteronomy 6:4,
Only One God, One Christ
• God does not share His divinity with anyone, yet the Roman
Catholic Church catechism says;
• CCC 2782 We can adore the Father because he has caused us
to be reborn to his life by adopting us as his children in his
only Son: by Baptism, he incorporates us into the Body of his
Christ; through the anointing of his Spirit who flows from the
head to the members, he makes us other “Christs.” (1267)
• God, indeed, who has predestined us to adoption as his sons,
has conformed us to the glorious Body of Christ. So then you
who have become sharers in Christ are appropriately called
“Christs.”34… CCC 2783 Thus the Lord’s Prayer reveals us to
ourselves at the same time that it reveals the Father to us….
“Our Father,” so that you may merit being his son.37

• My Hebrew professor asks, ”Who am I?” I’m longer than a
football field, I get declared as “kosher”, I am written with a
feather and I am made of animal skin. Any ideas?
• You guessed it – I’m a Torah scroll, of course!
• See, the term “kosher” doesn’t only apply to food. It can also
refer to written works, like a Torah scroll or Mezuzah/Tefillin
scroll. The question is, who declares a Torah scroll “kosher”,
and how? Who writes it? Can it be just anyone, or does it
require special training? What processes are involved in the
creation of a Torah scroll?
• This is just part of the fascinating story behind the creation of
Judaism’s holiest book.

(Full article is after the “THE END” slide)
• “Nine newfound penny-sized pieces of parchment belonging to the Dead
Sea Scrolls laid unopened for nearly six decades before they were
rediscovered in Israel…. The tiny scrolls were found inside three
phylacteries, small leather boxes with Biblical versus written on them
(called tefillin) that are worn by Jews during their morning prayers. Their
discoverer, Yonatan Adler, had the boxes scanned by an MRI at a hospital
in Israel in hopes there would be parchment inside.
• He was right. Once unopened, the scrolls are expected to shed new light
on the religious practices of the Jewish people during the Second Temple
Period between the years of 530 BC and 70, an era named for a holy place
of worship for the Jewish people that was constructed by the builder of
ancient Jerusalem King Herod. …At least two dozen phylactery scrolls
were discovered in the 1940s and 50 along with the rest of the Dead Sea
Scrolls in a limestone cave in the West Bank's Qumran in Israel.

Israel. Until now, the scrolls remained bound inside the phylacteries for

• As a whole, Christian parents, specifically men, seem to have
dropped the ball when it comes to overseeing their children's
learning of Scripture. Consider Deuteronomy 6:6-9:
• Don't forget that God has placed on the fathers the responsibility of
teaching their children the things of God, from Gods Word.
• It is not the responsibility the local church, pastor, youth leader,
public schools or anyone else to teach children the things of God. All
Bible teachers do carry a responsibility before God for their ministry

TODAY'S CREATION MOMENT
• Parents today are under a lot of pressure to be more
"permissive" and less "authoritative" in raising their children.
Research has now shown the results of this progressive thinking.
• In a study of 124 youngsters conducted over a twelve-year
period, researchers studied parenting styles and the effect of
each style on the development of young people. Researchers
divided the parenting styles they saw into categories ranging
from parents who didn't seem to care to those who were
extremely demanding and restrictive while offering their
children little emotional support. They found that parents who
consistently set down clear standards of conduct and clearly
defined limits, while offering close emotional support, produce
teenagers who fared better in academic tests, are emotionally
more stable, and are much less likely to be involved with alcohol
or drugs than any other group. The so-called …

• "democratic" parenting style, they noted, produced far more
heavy drug users than parents who set limits. They also noted
that restrictive parents who offer little emotional support for
their children tend to produce teens who, while not heavily
involved with drugs, are less happy with life and fall below
average on academic tests. Researchers concluded that the
limit-setting, rule-enforcing parents who offer strong emotional
support to their children are the most successful parents. And
this is exactly the style of parenting Scripture teaches us.”

given 38 years before our verse was spoken by Moses. So why does Moses
use the word "today"? We must always look at the teachings of the Torah
with excitement and seek out new lessons of growth and inspiration. (from
Rashi, the great 11th c. Torah commentator). Get fresh insight into the role
of Zion throughout Scripture with the Israel Bible, featuring full Hebrew and

• DEUTERONOMY (6:9)
• Jerusalem Inspiration
• Jewish tradition teaches that by affixing a mezuzah to one's doorpost, it is like declaring
that God's sanctity is surrounding your home. What could be more spiritually uplifting
than that? It is this commandment of putting up a mezuzah that has begun to reawaken
the ghosts of Krakow, a once thriving, rich, cultural and religious Jewish community.
Meet Olga, who discovered her Jewishness only 15 years ago; she recently had a
mezuzah affixed to her door with her community and friends all watching. She is the only
one in her family with any connection to Judaism. Jews with little connection to their
religious roots are finding meaning through putting up mezuzot and declaring their
Jewishness. With the help of 'Israel Returns', the continued growth of spirituality and
Jewish identity in the once flourishing community is blossoming.

• Modern psychologists and social engineers generally hold that children are born innocent. Any evil they do is learned
from those around them. Based upon this notion, they advise that children should not be spanked because that spanking
only teaches violence. This modern teaching contradicts the biblical teaching that we are born in original sin, inherited
from Adam. Belief in original sin is accepted in some form by most Christians, Jews and practically everyone who has
ever raised children!
• Photo: Courtesy of Mehregan JavanmardIn 1999, science stepped into the debate. Psychologist Richard Tremblay of the
Universite de Montreal studied 511 children, all under 18 months old. He found that 70 percent of the children grab
things. Forty-six percent push others, 21 percent physically attack others, 23 percent fight, 27 percent bite and 24
percent kick. These evil behaviors were going on long before the children could have learned them from those around
them. Psychologist Tremblay concluded from his study that the parents' real task is not to teach children to be
themselves but rather to teach children to obey moral principals.
• This research supports the biblical teaching of original sin, and by implication, supports the Bible's account of Adam and
Eve. One theologian pointed out that this explains why parents must daily battle against self idolatry and must do this for
their children until their children learn to do this for themselves. This study simply supports what the Bible has been
saying for thousands of years.

62. Phylacteries tefillin
• Jerusalem Inspiration
• A story is told about a pioneer of computer technology approaching the
Lubavitcher Rebbe with a question. "If everything in this world can be
found in the Torah, where is a computer?" The Rebbe answered quickly,
"tefillin". Technological devices are not new; a computer is unique in that
it connects multiple devices and allows them to function together. So too,
"you put on tefillin. First thing in the day, you connect your head, your
heart and your hand with these leather cables—all to work as one, with
one intent. And then, when you go out to meet the world, all your actions
find harmony in a single coordinated purpose." Share the beauty of a body
and mind connection with the youth of the Bnei Menashe.

• The text of the Shema written on parchment which is affixed to the doorpost of a Jewish home.
• The book of Deuteronomy, Moses’ farewell speech to the children of Israel, contains some of the most quoted passages in
the entire Bible. Perhaps the most foundational text for Judaism is the Shema (“Hear O Israel”), the opening verses of the
sixth chapter of the book.
• Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your
soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your
children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind
them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house
and on your gates. (Deut. 6:4-9)
• This is the most concise Jewish declaration of faith and a mandatory prayer recited twice every day (“when you lie down
and when you rise”) by observant Jews. As seen in the photo above it is also handwritten by a scribe on a piece of
parchment which is affixed to the doorposts of one’s home (“mezuzah”) as well as inserted into phylacteries which are
bound to the arm and forehead (“tefillin”).
• But following this very famous instruction, Moses utters these much less famous words:
• When the Lord your God has brought you into the land that he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, to give you—a land with fine, large cities that you did not build, houses filled with all sorts of goods that you did not
fill, hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you have eaten your

• All Biblical citations are taken from the International Standard Version (ISV) translation of the Bible.
• The Clue is in the Causative
• The Apostle John’s description of the mark of the beast was recorded in the New Testament as a Greek koine narrative.
The Greek language does not contain the rich nuance of volitional persuasion that is connoted by the Hebrew language
causative verb form. While most non-Hebrew language Bible readers may not be familiar with the Hebrew causative,
almost every Bible reader is familiar with Psalm 23. Note how the Psalmist’s use of the Hebrew causative verb form brings
out the subtle influence of God as he acts as shepherd to David, persuading him to take the actions described in verse two
of the psalm:
• “The LORD is the one who is shepherding me; I lack nothing. He causes me to lie down in pastures of green grass; he
guides me beside quiet waters.”
• — Psalm 23:1–2, ISV
• Do notice, if you would, how David confesses that it is God who is causing him to lie down, but there’s no suggestion that
