Torah Portion – Week 41 (2022-23)

Welcome brothers and sisters to week 41 – “Pinchas”  or Phineas.  – is about the incident with Phineas and the Israelite man and Moabite woman and how the plague was stopped… The story about the Zelophehad’s daughters and their plea for the inheritance to pass to them…. A 2^nd census of the people… appointing Joshua to take over for Moses as leader… and commands regarding the daily offerings and for the Feast days of YHWH.

Welcome my name is Adam – Your brother in Yahusha who simply loves his word and is eager to learn and share as we go.  Your input is vital – we all have a piece that YHWH gives us.

Why we are doing this- Psalms 119:18

“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy Torah.”
