    27_ Tazria (3 of 3): Hidden Sin

    ZARABEN.ORG Studios presents Torah Teaching 27, Part 3 of Tazria. In this teaching, RC JedidiYah explores the spiritual disease of Tazria, focusing on fabrics and clothing as symbolic representations of false coverings, outward facades, and counterfeit religious practices that must be brought before a priest for Torah-based examination and judgment. JedidiYah emphasizes that confession by itself may not be sufficient. He warns against hidden sin, self-diagnosis, and postponing repentance, stressing the importance of bringing spiritual issues into the light for proper evaluation and cleansing.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 12:1-13:59 Also Read from the  *Nevi’im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 18 WHEN: May 03, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

    27_ Tazria (2 of 3): Dirty Seeds

    ZARABEN.ORG studios presents Torah Teaching 27, “Tazria” (to conceive seed/give birth; root zara, to sow), linking what a person “sows” through media, books, and conversations to outward manifestations such as tzarat (uncleanness/affliction). RC JedidiYah urges guarding the mind, using YHVH’s rhythms (morning/evening prayer, Sabbath, moedim) and planting Torah as daily seed.    Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 12:1-13:59 Also Read from the  *Nevi'im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 18 WHEN: May 03, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

    27_ Tazria (1 of 3): Seed of Affliction

    ZARABEN.ORG studios presents Torah Teaching 27 on “Tazria,” explaining its roots in Zara (“to sow/scatter seed”) and the principle that what is conceived and brought forth corresponds to the seed planted. RC JedidiYah then connects “Zara/seed” to spiritual outcomes and introduces the laws of Tzarat (affliction/leprosy) as outward signs of inward spiritual issues requiring priestly diagnosis, isolation, and weekly re-examination. He warns against long-standing “old” Tzarat tied to chronic issues requiring change (sin), emphasizing submission, humility, and prompt correction, while previewing later discussion on slander, gossip, pride, and overreaching.

    26_Shemini (3 of 3): Mosquito Burgers

    ZARABEN.ORG studios presents Torah Teaching 26, HaShemini (“the eighth”), linking it to the uncircumcised and warning from Nadab and Abihu against approaching YHVH on one’s own terms. RC JedidiYah teaches that the Torah is a lifelong, costly process of submission aimed at making sons of Israel “whole and complete,” using food as a key test of obedience and a divider between righteous and unrighteous.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 9:1-11:47 Also Read from the  *Nevi’im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 17 RECORDED:  April 26, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

    26_Shemini (2 of 3): Convinced to Death

    ZARABEN.ORG continues with Torah Teaching 26 on HaShemini (“the eighth”), linking it to “plumpness,” surplus, and the “uncircumcised” mind and heart that refuses submission and tries to approach YHVH on its own terms.

    26_Shemini (1 of 3): Plumpness

    ZARABEN.ORG presents a teaching on HaShemini (“Eight”), exploring the spiritual symbolism of “fatness” as a sign of abundance that can lead to complacency, insensitivity, and even rebellion against YHVH’s commandments. RC JedidiYah contrasts this with the concept of circumcision—not merely physical, but a complete cutting away that represents heartfelt submission and devotion. The episode emphasizes that Torah principles and the sacrificial system extend beyond the physical temple, pointing to a life of continual offering—whether through repentance, gratitude, or willing obedience. Drawing near (qarab) to YHVH is shown to be costly, requiring total surrender of one’s life, household, and attitudes, including humility in relationships with others, since wrongdoing against people is also sin against Him. Ultimately, this teaching highlights that those called by YHVH’s name—identified with Israel—must approach Him according to His prescribed ways in the Torah, not through personal interpretation, religious tradition, or convenience.

    25_Tzvah (4 of 4): Appointed

    ZARABEN.ORG presents Torah teaching 25 on “Tovah,” which means means to Command/ or give charge, emphasizing that YHVH’s Commandments set one’s life in order and that drawing near (“Karab”) involves sacrifices, gifts, and offerings, with the first sacrifice being one’s will in total humility and submission. RC JedidiYah warns against pursuing the Torah (Commandments) for self-elevation, citing the costly obedience and testing seen in the patriarchs, including Jacob’s years of hardship and Job’s suffering as examples.   Today’s Torah reading is Tzav (Command), from Leviticus 6:8 through 8:36, along with the prophetic reading from 2 Kings 16. The Hebrew root “tsavah” carries the meaning of commanding, appointing, instructing, and setting things in order, reinforcing the central theme of disciplined, obedient living.

    25_Tzvah (3 of 4): Sacrifice

    ZARABEN.ORG releases Torah Teaching 25 on Torah commandments and the sacrificial system as obedience to YHVH rather than desire for offerings. RC JedidiYah explains the burnt offering as total submission, and the “grain” (minkoff) offering as a voluntary, bloodless gift/tribute that must be the best, costly, and a testimony of covenant obedience, not given for selfish gain or public display. JedidiYah reveals that these laws apply beyond having a temple and emphasizes giving to clean, consecrated priests and that offerings are “by fire,” meaning turned over without reclaiming or boasting. JedidiYah outlines laws for sin and trespass offerings (one law for both), peace/thanksgiving/vow/freewill offerings, rules on clean vs unclean participation, and prohibitions on eating fat and blood, concluding that drawing near (corban) requires costly, obedient giving.   Today’s Torah reading is Tzav (Command), from Leviticus 6:8 through 8:36, along with the prophetic reading from 2 Kings 16. The Hebrew root “tsavah” carries the meaning of commanding, appointing, instructing, and setting things in order, reinforcing the central theme of disciplined, obedient living.
