Bethlehem in Hebrew is [Beit Lechem] and the name literally has n numerical value of 490, and 490 is connected to forgiveness. Peter comes to Yeshua and says; [how many times do I have to forgive? Up to seven times?] I think Peter thought he was really spiritual by mentioning the number of completion. Yeshua answered him: [No, seventy times seven], which is 490. Of any number Yeshua could have chosen, why did He choose the number 490? Because 490 is also the numerical value of the Hebrew word Tamim, which mean to be perfect or complete. And, you cannot be perfect or complete in your faith unless you are willing to forgive. Let your heart be perfect in Hebrew, literally ads up to 490. – Rabbi Jason Sobel
Christmas may be the holiday with the largest mix of traditions. While Christians claim “Jesus is the reason for the season” Atheists are buying presents, decorating and singing carols. Strangely both groups are extremely defensive of their Christmas traditions many of which cross over the religious/secular lines.
He is man, neither can he contend with Him who is mightier than he.

Thought for Today: Shabbat December 17:
YHVH Elohiym, Who is Goodness and Truth is also Beauty. It is this innate believing human and divine longing, found in the company of goodness and truth that is able to recognize and leap up the beauty and rejoice and know that everything is beautiful, that there is no-one speck of beauty under the sun that does not mirror back the Beauty of Elohiym.
