Abba Yah, I come before thee in confession. My foot almost slipped when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Yahuah, I almost gave up my ministry. I said to myself, “What is the point?” Then you answered me in secret places, “In due time.” If we fail not, in due time, He will lift us up. I want to thank you for giving me the strength to go on. When it looks like there is no point, I know you are still able to multiply my blessings. I want to thank you, and bless you in the name of Yahusha Hamashiach.
And they said, ” “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.
What did they mean by this? When they said He was mighty in word they meant that Yahusha knew the word of Yah. He knew the laws, statutes and commandments. When they said he was mighty in deed they meant that he was careful to do all of the law. Yahuah keep all 613 commandments. He also performed all the word. He celebrated every Sabbath, all the feast celebrations, he was careful to give to the poor, fatherless, orphan, stranger, and the widow. This also means that he was full of The Ruach and was displaying all the gifts of the anointed. He healed the sick, opened blinded eyes, cleansed the lepers, gave food to the poor, welcomed strangers, clothed the naked, and preached the gospel to the prisoners. They said He was a prophet because Yah’s Word was in His mouth. He was perfect in every way. They could not find a charged to hold against him. He was an innocent man who was crucified.
I made this message BEFORE THE SABBATH, for the Sabbath. May you all enjoy the rest of the holy Sabbath.
12 Facts About the Month of Kislev You Should Know
1. It’s Month #9 and #3
The Jewish year has (at least1) two “heads,” Nissan in the spring and Tishrei in the fall. Counting from Nissan, this is the ninth month, and counting from Tishrei—when we observe the High Holidays and the joyous festival of Sukkot—it is the third.
2. Kislev Can Have 29 or 30 Days
The Hebrew months generally alternate in length. One has 29 days, the next has 30, etc. The exceptions are Kislev and the preceding month of Cheshvan, which can (a) both have 29; (b) both have 30; or (c) have 29 and 30 respectively, allowing for the Jewish months to be calibrated just so.
Most dates in the Jewish calendar can occur on four out of seven days of the week. Since Cheshvan can have either 29 or 30 days, there are two more possible days for every date in Kislev. Thus, this month can begin on every day of the week aside from Shabbat.
The rains of the Great Flood in the time of Noah began on 17 Cheshvan and continued for 40 days. Thus, the lion’s share of the rain took place in Kislev, ending on the 27th of the month.
Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, begins on the evening preceding 25 Kislev and ends 8 days later, which means Kislev departs as the Chanukah lights spread their ever-increasing brightness in the winter dusk.
6. It’s Associated With the Supportive Letter Samach
The ancient mystical work of Sefer Yetzirah tells us regarding this month that G‑d “produced the letter samech, predominant in sleep, crowned, combined, and formed the bow in the world and Kislev in the year…”2 The previous month, Cheshvan, has been associated with the biting scorpion and the letter nun, which stands for nofel, fall. This month, we are thus uplifted with the letter samech, which means “support.”
As noted in the Sefer Yetzirah, this month’s Hebrew sign (mazal) is the bow (keshet). According to the rabbis of the Midrash, this tells us that even if a person’s sins are like the poisonous bite of the scorpion, through prayer they can be catapulted to a better place.3
Some associate this bow with the rainbow shown to Noah after the flood.4
Some associate the word Kislev with the word kesel, which means “flank,” implying the innate and intuitive desire in G‑d.5 Others connect it with the word ksil, “fool,” showing how G‑d even cares for those who have acted foolishly.6
9. Ezra Presided Over a Mass Gathering in this Month
In the early years of the Second Temple era, Ezra called the Jewish people to a special meeting in the courtyard of the Temple. As they shivered under the harsh rain, the people agreed to divorce the idolatrous spouses they had married.7
10. It’s Rife With Important Days in Chabad History
Kislev 19, the day the first Chabad rebbe was released from Tsarist prison in 1798, is celebrated as the Rosh Hashanah of Chassidism. But there are many other significant days for Chabad in this month. Here are some:
● Rosh Chodesh Kislev is the day the Rebbe returned home in 1977, signaling that he had been restored to robust health after a major heart attack on Shemini Atzeret.
● 9 Kislev is the anniversary of birth (1773) and passing (1827) of Rabbi Dov Ber, the second Chabad rebbe.
● On 10 Kislev, 1826, Rabbi Dov Ber was released from prison, where he had been held on trumped-up charges of aiding enemies of Russia.
● 14 Kislev is fondly celebrated as the anniversary of the wedding of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin in 1928.
The sages tell us that the construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) was completed during this month. Moses delayed the inauguration, however, until the springtime month of Nissan, the month in which Isaac was born. Kislev was recompensed when, nearly a thousand years later, the Temple was rededicated on Kislev 25 during the Chanukah events.8
We read in the prophecy of Haggai (Haggai 2:18): “Pay attention now, from this day and before—from the twenty-fourth [day] of the ninth [month]—from the day that the Temple of the L‑rd was founded, pay attention.” According to Rashi, this means that “they began to add to the first foundation that they had built in the days of Cyrus.”
National Sigd Day square religious banner with symbols and geometric shapes on a dark blue background
November 20th, 2025
At the heart of Beta Israel tradition is the holiday of Sigd. Fifty days after Yom Kippur, the community fasts, wears their finest clothes, and in the past ascended a mountain as one. At the peak, they bowed, prayed, and, facing Jerusalem, yearned for their return. Modeled on a similar ceremony described in Nechemia 9, Kessim, the religious leaders of the community, led participants in communal repentance, a reaccepting of the Torah, and prayers for the return to Zion. Following the service, they descended in joy and shared festive meals prepared the night before. Now in Israel, the Ethiopian community still comes together, though now the mountain they climb in Armon HaNatziv directly overlooks Jerusalem: the city they love so deeply.
This is the nearing the height of the curses of Judah. There is no fear of Yahuah in their eyes. How can you reduced the entirety of someones life to twerking before their casket. She clearly does not know the high calling that is upon her life as a daughter of Zion. She has not began to seek wisdom, if so she would have been afraid to do this. These things is why all the other nations look at us and shake their heads. They say that we are a destroyed people. Does she not know that this man is being judged by The Most High?? He sees her twerking before him as he is bring judged. It reminds me of when Moses was the the top of the mountain, and the Israelites were below dancing to some strange God.
Abba Yah, it is my prayer that may all creation taste and see that you are good. I ask this of you because this is my ministry. May the mercy and grace that you have shown me overflow unto all creation. May we all come to know and worship you. I pray this in the beloved name of Yahusha Hamashiach.
This Mother knew through knowledge of The Holy One that the way she was treated was not normal. Many Hebrew women experience some weird circumstances while giving birth. The Doctors and nurse don’t take what they tell them seriously. I’ve heard of some Hebrews being told, “You are not going to hurt me”, while giving birth. Some of them said that the hospital acted as if they had supernatural strength. It’s sad, Hebrews come into this earth as though their life does not matter.
