Just another WordPress.com site. Asymp; 4 Comments. As we grow closer to the High Holy Days I wanted to share this with you. It was written by my wife of blessed memory in 2006. I share it with you in it original form so not to run the risk of having alter it. May you find it a blessing as we look to the new Year. My yom kippur message. Pain is a good thing. I remember lying on our bed that day with Tanya sleeping between us, wondering what in the world was I supposed to do with her? I think it has somet...

Just another WordPress.com site. Asymp; 4 Comments. Picking Up The Pieces. What is it like to love a dying person? Imagine trying to make each day special, unique, memorable; each day you love more and more and yet each day slips through your fingers and cannot be retrieved. As your love for that special person continues to grow, the days available to you shrink, until you have no more days left. In the end, all you have left is empty hands. That second life will begin only when you surrender to the sove...

http://mj-learning.blogspot.com/2011/04/passion-worth-cultivating.html
Saturday, April 9, 2011. A Passion Worth Cultivating. I just posted on " A Passion Worth Cultivating. At Midrash, etc. It's a passion to work for the benefit of others. Posted by Carl Kinbar. May 5, 2011 at 5:26 AM. I enjoyed it. I really like the comment, lets not be to quick to spiritualize. As you and I talked before, the Midrash gives some great insights into the meaning of Torah.

The New Messianic Jewish Learning: Learning with a Rabbi
http://mj-learning.blogspot.com/2011/03/learning-with-rabbi_30.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Learning with a Rabbi. My first hevruta (study partner) tried out four different yeshivot before finding the right one. In each case, the learning approach of the rosh yeshiva was the determinative factor. The learning approach that most suited my hevruta was a very deliberative and careful working through the gemara, not moving on until the material had been thoroughly grasped. I wonder what would have happened to my hevruta if he had never found that rosh yeshiva? So, many Me...

The New Messianic Jewish Learning: Four Generations - Part 2
http://mj-learning.blogspot.com/2011/03/four-generations-part-2.html
Thursday, March 24, 2011. Four Generations - Part 2. You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua. And the things you have heard me say among many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. (2 Tim. 2:1-2). I previously blogged about the trans-generational aspect of this verse. Now I want to look at it from another angle, one that’s equally important in passing it on through “four generations.”. The Greek word δια which can. This reminds me of a ...

The New Messianic Jewish Learning: 4 Repetitions
http://mj-learning.blogspot.com/2011/04/4-repetitions.html
Sunday, April 3, 2011. A reader who prefers to remain anonymous on this blog reminded me of the following passage from Bavli Eruvin 54b. Here's the whole passage, taken from Jacob Neusner's translation:. Our rabbis have taught on Tannaite authority: What is the order of Mishnah teaching? Moses learned it from the mouth of the All-Powerful. Aaron came in, and Moses repeated his chapter to him and Aaron went forth and sat at the left hand of Moses. On this basis said R. Eliezer, “A person is liab...Another...

The New Messianic Jewish Learning: February 2011
http://mj-learning.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. My Hevruta, My Friend. I promised to tell you about my experience with Peter, my “other” hevruta (the word refers both to learning in pairs and to your partner in that learning). In the meanwhile, they’d moved to Austin for work purposes. Then Anna and I moved to Austin a few years ago for family reasons, and we began to get together. Posted by Carl Kinbar. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Kavanah – Directing the Heart. I bring along a compass when I travel. If I pray. Is a traditi...
