Why are people referred to as “children” in scripture? e.g., Children of Israel

Why do some “turn away” from the words of Elohim?

How are some people today “disempowered”?

We know the Shema (Deut 6:4) is “hear and do”, but is there another understanding we can add to it?

Do you place high value on Torah and the Covenant? How about wisdom? Isn’t it through wisdom that Yahweh has a relationship with us? What is the beginning of wisdom?

Is intelligence the same as wisdom?

What does wisdom accomplish exactly?

Continuing in the book of Proverbs, Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches from chapter 3 about how extremely critical it is for relationship, right relationship, and the mechanics of doing the commandments work together. The highest value must be placed on wisdom because it is a tree of life to those taking hold of her, and blessed are those who retain it. You must retain it. Rabbi Steve spends a bit of time on retaining wisdom by going to the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13.

In this teaching you’ll hear what it means to be a good employee and adorn the Word of Elohim in your life.

What we’ve been dealing with in Proverbs is the other part of keeping covenant–the ‘why’ we do what He says to do (or not do). We know there is the “mechanical” part–the how, what, where, when, but we need to understand that the attitude of our heart works together with the mechanical to provide the “why” we are in covenant with Yahweh.

Is it necessary that you completely understand everything you have to do within this covenant?
