Like Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls, God is calling us to restore what’s broken and become bridge-builders in His kingdom, that we might be one flock, united under Yeshua, our Messiah.
Through the story of Nehemiah and the significance of Yom Teruah, we are reminded of the importance of repentance and renewal.
Parashat Nitzavim-Vayelech
God will circumcise our hearts and give us a heart of flesh with His Torah written on it. But that does not remove our responsibility to partner with Him in the process – to choose Him, to circumcise our hearts and to observe His commandments.
God has promised never to leave or forsake His people, and that He will always be with them. Even when they are sent into exile, God goes with them, shares in their afflictions, and brings them back from their captivity. He is faithful.
