1 Ahava B Shem Yeshua Love In The Name of Jesus Monthly Newsletter Volume 2, Issue 12 October 2016 From Our Messianic Leader.. Yeshua is our Tiqvah Hope ת ק ו ה When Adonai laid on Yeshua the iniquity of us all, Yeshua received the judgment due us for all our sins. He received OUR deserved punishment which the Bible declares is death in Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death. Adonai declared in 1 John 1:7 if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Yeshua HaMashiach His Son cleanses us of all sin. Cleanses us of WHAT? OF ALL SIN! This cleansing is something the law could never do; it is His provision of grace. The fact is, faith is our ONLY hope - Tiqvah ) ת ק ו ה (. Our good deeds, our efforts or our work can never earn us forgiveness from Adonai. Paul declared this in strong words in Romans 4: 5 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,. To him who is not working and is simply believing, Adonai imputes our attributes righteousness. Our God, Elohim gives us this forgiveness because of our faith in the finished work that Yeshua His son has done for us. Al Messianic Leader Ahava B'Shem Yeshua For sin s payment is death, but God s gracious gift is eternal life in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.

9 Volume 2, Issue 12 Page 9 MESSIANIC 101 Terms & Definitions LULAV It is a positive commandment from the Torah to gather together the Four Species during Succot (Sukkot). On the first day you are to take choice fruit of trees, branches of palm trees, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and rejoice before Adonai your God for seven days. TLV Version The first day refers to the first day of Succot (Sukkot). Fruit of goodly trees refers to the etrog (citron). Branches of palm trees refers to the lulav. Boughs of leafy trees refers to the myrtle (hadasim). Willows of the brook refers to the aravot or hoshanot. The four are lumped together under the inclusive term lulav, since the lulav is the largest and most prominent. Thus, while the mitzvah is to wave the lulav, this actually refers to the four taken together as one. Etrog How the Four Fit Together The lulav is a single palm branch and occupies the central position in the grouping. It comes with a holder-like contraption (made from its own leaves) which has two extensions. With the backbone (the solid spine) of the lulav facing you and this holder in place near the bottom, two willow branches are placed in the left extension and three myrtle branches are placed in the right. The myrtle should extend to a greater height than the willows. This whole cluster is held in the right hand, the etrog is Lulav held in the left, and the two should be touching one another. Some have the custom of picking up the etrog first and then the lulav reversing the order when putting them down because the etrog is referred to before the others in the biblical verse. Waving the Lulav It is a mitzvah to wave the lulav on each of the first seven days of Succot (Sukkot). The proper time is in the morning either before the Morning Service or during the service immediately before the Hallel. A meditation (found in the Siddur) is recited prior to the blessing.
