Parsha Sh'mini: Leviticus 9-11
Haftarah: 2 Samuel 6:1-7:17
After two of his sons tragically died, Aaron received a word from God: None of the priest should drink and minister in the tabernacle. Paul expands that warning, when he warns the Ephesians about getting drunk. Is it important what you eat or drink? Rabbi David looks into this subject in a fresh new way in this message.

Parsha: VaYikra ~ Leviticus 1:1–6:7
Haftarah: Isaiah 43:21–44:23 with Hebrews 8-9
Leviticus introduces us to HaCohen HaMashiach, the Anointed Priest. The Book of Hebrews explains that Yeshua is the anointed high priest of Israel’s New Covenant. Rabbi David’s message discusses the importance of Yeshua’s New Covenant priestly ministry, and how it is similar and how it is different from the Levitical priesthood.

Parsha P'kudei: Exodus 38:21–40:38
Haftarah: 1 Kings 7:51–8:21
With Jeremiah 31:31-37 and Acts 2:38-41
In this week’s Parsha, Moses receives a “recipe” from God: How to prepare Aaron and his sons for ministry. The recipe is similar to the Apostle Peter’s description of what new Jewish believers should do. In this message, Rabbi David discusses the Jewish pattern for serving God, and how the New Covenant is similar to and different from the Sinai Covenant.

Parsha P'kudei: Exodus 38:21–40:38
Haftarah: 1 Kings 7:51–8:21
With Jeremiah 31:31-37 and Acts 2:38-41
Aaron and his sons needed to wash up – to be immersed in water – and to receive God’s anointing. Then they could serve God wholeheartedly. Peter said something similar to thousands of Jewish people who heard the good news of Yeshua in Jerusalem. They also needed to be immersed, receive God’s anointing, and serve God wholeheartedly, and live in community. Rabbi David Levine’s message opens up the connection between Moses and Yeshua, and between the Sinai Covenant and the New Covenant.
