The name of this week's #torah portion, Ekev, means "because" ("Because you listen...") Here's a list of Apostolic passages to study alongside Parsha #ekev (#deuteronomy 7:12-11:25), plus links to related commentary and video: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/01/22/parsha-ei
Interesting choice of photos for your event - the aircraft depicted is a German "Stuka," the famous and most favored Nazi dive-bomber which killed hundreds of thousands of our allied forces and civilians in World War Two. The Nazi's were also the organization that exterminated 6 million Jews.
Antisemitism makes no sense whatsoever. Jewish people today really just want to be left alone. Christians who have come to realize our faith is inextricably a continuation of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jesus are very blessed for that!
Luk 17:1-4 LSV 1 And He said to the disciples, “It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come; 2 it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 Take heed to yourselves, and if your brother may sin in regard to you, rebuke him, and if he may change his mind, forgive him, 4 and if seven times in the day he may sin against you, and seven times in the day may return to you, saying, I change my mind, you will forgive him.”
Luk 11:52 LSV Woe to you, the lawyers, because you took away the key of the knowledge; you yourselves did not enter; and you hindered those coming in.”
Mar 9:33-42 LSV 33 And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?” 34 And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater; 35 and having sat down He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If any wills to be first, he will be last of all, and minister of all.” 36 And having taken a child, He set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in His arms, said to them, 37 “Whoever may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.” 38 And John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in Your Name, who does not follow us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.” 39 And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in My Name, and will be readily able to speak evil of Me: 40 for he who is not against us is for us; 41 for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in My Name, because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you, he may not lose his reward; 42 and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea.
Mat 18:1-20 LSV 1 At that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, “Who, now, is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?” 2 And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Truly I say to you, if you may not be turned and become as the children, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens; 4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. 5 And he who may receive one such child in My Name, receives Me, 6 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in Me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged on his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world from the stumbling-blocks! For there is necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block comes! 8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut them off and cast them from you; it is good for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the continuous fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you; it is good for you to enter into life one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. 10 Beware! You may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their messengers in the heavens always behold the face of My Father who is in the heavens, 11 [[for the Son of Man came to save the lost.]] 12 What do you think? If a man may have one hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, does he not—having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains—seek that which is gone astray? 13 And if it may come to pass that he finds it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray; 14 so it is not the will in the presence of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones may perish. 15 And if your brother may sin against you, go and show him his fault between you and him alone, if he may hear you, you gained your brother; 16 and if he may not hear, take with you yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand. 17 And if he may not hear them, say it to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to you as the heathen man and the tax collector. 18 Truly I say to you, whatever things you may bind on the earth will be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things you may loose on the earth will be having been loosed in the heavens. 19 Again, I say to you that if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask—it will be done to them from My Father who is in the heavens, 20 for where there are two or three gathered together—to My Name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Mat 5:17-20 LSV 17 Do not suppose that I came to throw down the Law or the Prophets—I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill; 18 for truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the Law, until all may come to pass. 19 Therefore whoever may loose one of these commands—the least—and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach them, he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. 20 For I say to you that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Thank you, Yah for a new week, a new opportunity to get it right! Toda!
