Let us begin by returning to some more insight into other writings of Solomon/Shlomo. Ecclesiastes shares thoughts from him as a wise older man. Remember את/עד cognate permutations include עת “time.” And קהלת ↔︎ כלעת. Please recall we have spoken that both the focus of our striving, and its measure, are very important. And its restraint/its expression, both physical and emotional, and …

Blog 144 Dance Series ❸ Enough
We’ll begin here with a bit more of Solomon and a topic we referred to last time,“Enough.” We mentioned there are a number of Hebrew words translated in English as “enough,” one of which, מצא, is cognate with the root for messiah, משח. Numbers 11:22, where it appears twice, is very telling re: that word’s understanding (please read, with context …

Blog 140. Continuing our look at The Way of Messiah
One of many reasons we are trying to understand messiah somewhat more is because there is much difference of opinion about the concept, even within Judaism. Look at this Wikipedia article, and especially at the section “Contemporary Jewish Views.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah_in_Judaism Where we left off last time, we were looking at an AlHaTorah Search on the …
Blog 139. The Way of Messiah
The hope is to take a somewhat different direction at this point, but my plans are often redirected. We have introduced this topic before, but I want to spend more time here.
