Continuing in Deuteronomy, Rabbi Steve Berkson shows us how to recognize certain words and phrases continuously linked to help you understand what they’re about. What do you suppose is the phrase that links to the Covenant?

As we look at a “covenant within the Covenant” made with the tribe of Levi we see that one of the responsibilities of the Levites was to bear the Covenant (Ark of the Covenant) and to establish the Torah as the foundation of Israel. Who has that responsibility today?

As a part of Covenant-Keeping we are told by Yahweh not to worship Him in the same way the Gentiles around us worship their Elohim. What do you see around you today that is going against that commandment?

As he said he would, Rabbi Steve Berkson spends a bit more time teaching on Deuteronomy 4:9. He points out the emphasis placed on the exhortation to “guard yourself” lest you forget the words your eyes have seen. How does one “see the words”?

The second part of Deu 4:9 instructs the reader to make those words known to your children and grandchildren. How do we do that today?

Are you having trouble in your Torah observance? Rabbi Steve tells you what the number one cause.

Deu 4:16-19 talks about guarding yourself so that you don’t create idols for yourself. What is this talking about? Is it wrong to have collectibles? Is it wrong for someone who likes hunting to use decoys or put trophies on the wall?

Then comes MTOI’s favorite chapter, Deuteronomy 8! Here, Rabbi Steve addresses the question of some, “How much of the law and commandments are we really supposed to obey?” (Hint: verse1 and 3 hold the key)

What is discipleship about? What does it look like in your life? How does it relate to being in covenant? What are you willing or not willing to do as a disciple?

Continuing the topic of the “Covenant of Salt”, Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches vital principles about discipleship and how Yeshua ties being his disciple with the “Covenant of Salt”.

Then, moving to Deuteronomy 4 Rabbi Steve shows us that at a point in time Abba showed us The Covenant, taught it to us through his appointed-anointed and let us know that we are not to add to or take away from it.

A covenant made between two parties has certain expectations of performance. When those expectations are not met the covenant has been broken or breached. When a covenant has been broken there will then be another expectation–consequences.

In this lesson of “Are You Covenanted?”, Rabbi Steve Berkson focuses on the consequences of us breaking our covenant we have made with our Creator.

What is/are the sign(s) of The Covenant? Is baptism/immersion a sign of The Covenant?

Who are those that are a part of The Covenant?

Rabbi Steve Berkson takes some time making sure we understand what it is we’re involved with–The Covenant between The Creator and us. It is important we are not going on what we think we know.

There’s only one covenant that we should be concerned about, right? What if there are more than one covenant in play, with some overlapping others, that we need to understand and be concerned about?

In part 2 of this teaching on covenants, Rabbi Steve Berkson gets into more detail about Yahweh’s covenant with Noah, Abraham and Isaac.

Are all covenants the same? How is a “promise” different than a “covenant”?

What does the word “perfect” or “blameless” mean? (Gen 17:1)

What does it mean to be “of the seed of Abraham”?

Circumcision is not for today, is it?

Did anyone in Acts 15 have the authority to add to, subtract from, or alter Torah?

Why was Abraham picked to be in covenant with Yahweh?
