Don't Forget to
This portion is important retelling of the wondering in wilderness by the children of Israel. Also, I cover the concepts of Teshuvah in the explanation of the Haftarah of Consolation for the next 7 weeks before Yom Teruah. Understanding this principles will teach us as a Kingdom in the dispersion how to come together as one people, one heart, one mind, one consent. I pray this Torah Portion is a blessing to you and continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
We will deal with the legal aspects of the book of Deuteronomy. In this portion we will introduce the different sections of the book of Deuteronomy from a covenant perspective. Connecting the Biblical account with archaeological evidence from the Ancient Near East that puts Moses in a real timeline in History. This evidence will help us understand this book from a different viewpoint than previously studied.
This page includes Torah Portions from multiple years covered by Wisdom in Torah. Each year we covered the Torah from a different perspective so you can explore each Parashah from a different perspective and focus.
- 2010 Portions: Focus on Messianic connections in the Parashah
- ANET Portions: Focus on the ancient Near Eastern cultural context of the Parashah
- Mitzvot Portions: Focus on explaining and exploring the commandments found in the Parashah (in progress)
- 2015 Portions: Revisiting the Parashah looking at the ancient cultural context more in depth with additional areas that have been researched
- Brit Portions: Focus on connecting the Brit Hadashah (New Testament) to the Parashah

Can’t wait to hear the Torah portions for next year based on new information and the Suzerain/Vassal treaty. So glad you’ll be doing this! Todah rabah!
Fonzie,
I have read from multiple source that the “baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” was added hundreds of years after Matthew wrote his gospel. I did a quick search on the internet and came up with the following article. I haven’t read all of it yet, so I cannot attest to the accuracy of all statements, but perhaps it can get you started on your search: http://www.israelofgod.org/Constantine.htm
Shalom,
Ryan
Hello,
I run a bible study where I’ve recently done your mikveh teaching and it makes sense to me to be baptized in the name of Yeshua. Could you please explain to me Matthew 28:19 which says “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
Please reply asap as I would like to take this to my bible study
Thank you!
I am in the middle of watching, all I can say is Thank you so much, Thank you so much Rico!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…SHALOM Aleickem from South Florida, Rico thank you so much for all your effort, we started a small Torah studies group, what we do is, we watch your teaching together and discus about the teaching, we are learning so much, thanks to you brother, be blessed !
Ok Muchacho, I have a couple of things I would like to say…
1. I know that Puerto Rican’s lingo is very, very fast. I was born in South America and I have always had to tell you guys to slow things down as you machine gun your way through your words.. and yes that is your “natural” style….. HOWEVER, whenever you read the BLESSING before you begin a study you don’t slow it down enough for the words of “life” to be edified properly….. As you know; “the power of life and death are in the tongue”….. so slow it down so your brothers and sisters may be edified and blessed by your “hebraic blessing” which we desire to “hear”….
2. You state that the “Hav portions” that are read with the Torah portions were set up as a reminder by the Jews as a way to “remind” themselves of the Torah portions… correct ? But this seems to me to be an exercise in a tradition that produces confusion… It is not a commandment, but a “tradition”, and yes I honestly do believe “some” traditions do serve the body of Messiah to grow greater in wisdom and understanding. Correct me if I’m wrong, but at the time of Messiah were “both” being done, or was there only the Torah portion readings ? Please don’t misunderstand, I am seeking every way to honor and praise the Lord “the way HE desires” and do away with man’s traditions…. I would appreciate your input in this, I would also like to raise my voice in one accord with my brothers but only if it is done the Lord’s way and not because someone somewhere implemented a religious tradition, however noble and holy it “may seem”. My heart is to serve the Lord in his “truth” not in the cumbersome religious traditions of men…
Un hermano en Cristo..
Shalom
I will slow down for the blessing and you are right I should do it in a way so that everyone can learn. In regards to the Haftorah portion of the prophets it is a tradition but this tradition is design to connect the Torah portion with a portion of the prophets. At the time of Yeshua they did continued to read both the Torah and Prophets and Yeshua did a reading of Isaiah 61 in the synagogue in Luke chapter 4:18. Also, in the book of Acts you see how they used to read the Torah and Prophet readings. History tells us that when a wicked King came to Israel to destroy it, He made the reading of the Torah illegal so they started to read from the prophets the part that had connections to the Torah portion of the week, also some prophets portions are related to an event that happened that week in the history of Israel. I believe that this tradition actually helps us connect the Bible better.
shalom
I will take your advise and read the blessing slower

A question I have on the calendar – “the sighting of the new moon in Jerusalem might change the calendar”. This is where many I know have such different opinions – and I would like to know what others think. In Ps 81:4 it talks of the “moon’s renewal” and the word means “dark” or “concealed” moon. I have been watching the moon for a few months, being that I wondered where “the first sliver” came from. To me, (and correct me if I am wrong), Sukkot and Unleavened Bread both should start on the 15th of the Hebrew calendar month – full moon. So, if I calculate correct, that will be my evidence. In watching the calendar for several months, I think one time it may have been off from the “set calendar” – but, to my amazement, in counting back, it was always when the moon was the “dark moon” that day 1 would be. (I counted backwards from the full moon.) Where did the sliver come from? My thought: If they “lost years” on the calendar, could they possibly have “lost how to count”. If “sliver” came up, could they have meant the “end sliver”, meaning when the sliver was sighted (the last sliver), they knew the new moon was the next day. My “ideas” also come from 1 Sam 20. They “knew” the new moon would be “the following day”. Sometimes you have two nights of dark. Sometimes a tiny tiny sliver would show the next. And in Genesis it says “..and the evening and the morning were the first day…”. If we “start out in darkness” and then on the (seemingly) “third day” light appears (on the fourth in Gen it is separated from darkness), would not that evidence the “dark moon”?
Please do not take anything I say as gospel!!! I am still “under construction”, I just wanted to present what i have gleaned so far, and put it out to others to examine and let me know what they have learned. Right now, the evidence I have so far, lends me to think the new moon is the dark. And for unity sake, I celebrate with the calendar. If I see it falls a day off, I will celebrate my Sabbath personally, but there are so many theories with Scripture backing, Oy Vey!!!
(switching gears for a moment, for a “backbone” purpose):
One thing that I note, is that in the Book of Ezra, when they are “restoring Torah” (after finding it the end of II Chron), the fact that it was “hidden” (Torah) while they were in captivity and then a “chosen messenger” was “in charge” (for lack of a better word) to make decrees on how they were to interpret and honor – and we have many “messengers” – do you think, maybe, just maybe – none of us have it all right?????!!! The only One who will be “worthy to open the scroll” will be Yeshua and then the “law will come forth out of Jerusalem…”??!! In light of that (possible) factor, could this statement be accurate in some way: From the time the Book of the Law was discovered, through the time it was being read over, studied and examined, to the time of Ezra, when it was being implemented in its exactness (possibly) – true followers of Yahweh, upon hearing the Torah, their heart recognizes it and loves it (Ezek 36:26-27) and we WANT TO walk it as: “If you love Me, you will do My commandments”, BUT, as believers in Yeshua, we WANT TO walk this, BUT, because of “living in the world” (as in Egypt), we WANT to, but we have all this worldly habit, junk, fleshly desires to get rid of. As “we decrease”, “He increases”. As Rico teaches, He has come as Suffering Servant, but not yet as Conquering King.
With saying ALL that (I know you can’t see the video in my head, so I apologize if it is not well written), in saying that, there comes two theories:
1. When you accept/recognize Yeshua as Saviour, and is your heart “immediately” circumsized to understand all this? Or is it “continuously” circumsized to understand? Are the teachers of today like the “intermediators between II Chron and Ezra”, or are they “Ezra”?? or-
2. Are the teachers of today given a glimpse, like in Acts 15, to “start” the people out, and each has a part – BUT, we will not know enough to be THE official on the subjects, therefore, we must remain humble while “on the journey”, gathering all the way each morsel of bread (like a jigsaw puzzle) until that great day when our Conquering King takes His throne to tell us EXACTLY how it is??!!
I stand on THIS statement: “the more I learn, the more I know I don’t know. All I know is that in order to walk this walk, I must continously repent and DECREASE so I can hear His voice and conviction in me whether to turn left or turn right. That’s all I can DEFINITELY say I know!”
BUT, I do know that the Eternal One has sent messengers like Rico and Brad, and Bill, and Tony, and Eddie, and all that are bereans and have been “entrusted a part” because….well, I don’t know the words of the because, but my spirit bears witness with it…..I could be wrong, but I don’t think so.
And so – back to the original question of the feasts……..as I believe each of us are entrusted to a part, I’d like to hear anyone interested in replying, their view on the new moon, because, like I said, I am still under construction (Should this be started on a new thread??)
Amen When will the beit din happen?
Soon I pray
The calendar I use is currently showing the 12th and the 20th, but it will adjust based on when the new moon is sighted in Jerusalem.
You are correct Kate, my mistake. That would be for Shauvuot. The one day difference between the two calendars must be the sighting of the new moon? Maybe you can help, i’m not where I can get to my calendars right now.
How does First Fruits impact when Sukkot is if Sukkot is counted from Yom Teruah?
The calendar we are using this year shows Erev Succot starting the evening of 10-12 and the 8th day being 10-20, Succot ending at sundown. We kept the Spring Festivals based on this calendar so we decided as a group to finish the year on the same schedule and see again if there is any differing opinion next year. Some of the people we fellowship with feel that First Fruits is after the weekly Shabbat and not the High Shabbat, so it’s possible we could do that schedule next year. I do also have a Lion and Lamb Ministries Calendar from Monte Judah that shows that schedule, so with First Fruits being on the first day after the weekly sabbath, Erev Succot would be 10-13 and the 8th day would be 10-21 ending at sundown.
Blessings and Shalom
