This week's #torah reading begins the book of #leviticus (chapters 1:1-6:7, called #vayikra in Hebrew). Leviticus gets a bad rap: all blood, fire, and ritual. Most Christians dread it, but it's full of profound connections and glimpses into God's character. The central theme of the whole book is how to draw near to God, how to worship him. That sounds like something we ought to pay attention to. It's a big mistake to ignore it.

We run into trouble when we start to think we know better than God when it comes to justice and social order. God's justice is about restoration and protection, not vengeance, and prisons have little to no place at all in God's system of justice. #leviticus #vayikra
Note: The cities of refuge were not prisons. They were places for refuge, not for involuntary confinement as punishment for a crime.

For years I heard people say "Talmud is bad" over and over. One time I went searching for something and used it. I didn't find my answer. What I found is that it's just commentary on the Old Testament. Lots of which I already figured out on my own.

Women’s Portion for Today: Thursday March 21
Ladies, guide your families not to just possess a faith in YHVH, teach them to seek the faith in YHVH that possesses them. (Prayer: Father, thank You that You reward those who place their trust in You. Help my family to build a rock-solid trust in You, through Your Spirit, in good and in bad times, amein)
Psalm 139:7 — 8, “Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.” As David writes this to give us comfort knowing that our Creator is everywhere, he also is saying that there is no place we can go to hide from Him. Jonah could not escape the presence of our Creator and we can’t either.
