Yom Shabbat April 26th , Location Michigan - The Olson's Family Home 1:00pm-5:00pm Unleavened Bread/Pesach Readings or as determined at Shul - Exodus 12:21–51; Numbers 28:16–25; Joshua 3:5–7, 5:2–6:1, 6:27 April 20–April 26, 2008 (the next Parsha is not listed in the FFOZ guide until May 3rd) Bet Shmuel/2nd Samuel 11, John 19

Yom Shabbat April 19th , Location Michigan - Brother James Cramer's Home 12:00AM-5:00pm Parsha 29 Acharei Mot “After the death” April 19, 2008 14 Nisan 5768 Leviticus 16:1–18:30 Bet Shmuel/2nd Samuel 10, John 18 then PASSOVER! 4-14-08 Parsha 29&30 Wayiqra 16:1- 16:15 Though there is only one day each year that the High Priest can enter the Most Kadosh Place, it is apparent that he enters several times throughout the day. The word translated often as "iniquity" is actually better translated as 'rebellion'. This makes the sin of iniquity very serious, as to be rebellious, is to know what one should do but refuse to do it. 17:13 Those who adhere to the practice of 'kashuring' (soaking meats in salt overnight); need to read this verse very carefully. 18:19 Sexual relations during 'niddah' are forbidden. many of the "defilements" mentioned in this section we see blatantly in our society today. How much longer will Yah put up with it? 19:23-25 After a fruit tree is planted, it is harvested for personal use only once in the first 7 years. Yoch. 18:19-24 In reading this Scripture, it appears that there are 2 High Priests, our conclusion is that the Priests change sometime around this period, (probably on Rosh Kodesh) and that Annas was acting in an advisory position.

Yom Shabbat April 12th, Location Michigan - HOME SHABBAT 1:00-5:00pm - Parsha 28 Metzora “Leper” April 12, 2008 7 Nisan 5768 Leviticus 14:1–15:33 Bet Shmuel/2nd Samuel 9, John 17

Yom Shabbat April 5th, Location Michigan - The Olson home 1:00-5:00pm - Parsha 27 Tazria “Conceived” April 5, 2008 29 Adar-II 5768 Leviticus 12:1–13:59 Bet Shmuel/2nd Samuel 8, John 16 4-5-08 Parsh 27&28 Wayiqra 12:1 - Verse13 What the Scriptures here are describing as leprosy consists of more maladies then modern medicine are inclined to observe. Leprosy of a fabric appears to be some kind of a fungus or yeast infestation, and apparently is contagious in some form to humans. We are amazed that there is no Scriptures revealing any type healing remedy for these maladies. !! Schmuel 8: Metheg-Ammon= bridal; of the mother city. Did King David break the command in Duet. to not collect many horses and chariots. Perhaps the reason he kept a few was to have fast communications throughout his kingdom Vrs. 2 We wondered what these measures consisted of? Did David have those over/under a certain height slain? It is curious. 13 "Dawid made a name for himself". In The genesis account of Babylon, this was a bad thing. Could it be that because Dawid gave kavod to YHWH that this was considered tov? 16: In The Restoration Scriptures, we see a "recorder" noted as one of the offices in his kingdom. Wonder was expressed as to what exactly this position entailed. Yoch. 16: In verse 2 Moshe has a note concerning a council of Yavneh. We were wondering if there is some source for more info on this council. None were familiar whether Josephus mentions it anywhere. Some discussion on how it is possible to accept Moshe K's. comment about the relationship between YHWH and Yahushua. Perhaps the analogy of a flashlight might best express it. i.e. There is the source; which we can see, There is the manifestation (area lighted by the source) which we can see, But the beams of light; (In most circumstances) is invisible to us. 13: is a challenge to those who hold to the 'trinity' view of traditional Christianity. 20: Who are those in the 'olam hazah' who are rejoicing? 25: a very encouraging verse when viewed through the verse 12. This is what He has been doing throughout history. We discussed for those not as familiar with the 4 levels of teachings in Scriptures, just what the Pashat level as mentioned here was.

Yom Shabbat March 29th, Location Michigan - Brother Randy's Home 1:00-5:00pm - Parsha 26 Sh’mini “Eighth” March 29, 2008 22 Adar-II 5768 Leviticus 9:1–11:47 Bet Shmuel/2nd Samuel 7, John 15

3-29-08 Parsha 26 Wayiqra 9:1-11:47 The reading of 9:8&9 seem to indicate that Aharons' sons caught the blood of the sacrifice which was to be used in the offerings. Question posed was how were they able to; or were they even able to avoid getting blood on their garments. There was a Scripture given earlier concerning the removal of blood from the garments, but I could not find it again, so it seems that YHWH had taken this into consideration. The "Chumash" gives an excellent account of the order of the sacrifices and the significance of that order. Why could not Aharon mourn the death's of his sons? According to the "Chumash" it was because they broke away from the commanded regulations of the Torah for this and that because they sinned in doing so, the High Priest could not mourn for the commitment of sin, so as to be an example of how YHWH looks upon sin as (filthy){ my own words}. It was noted that the Uzzi-El of II Chron. 26 is related to the Uzzi-Yah who is Aharon's son. 10:9-20 Sometimes there are circumstances/ conditions where a command can be altered, but it must be with a very definite and positive reason. Chapter 11 dealing with the "clean and unclean" meats which those who are set-apart are allowed to eat. By following these strict dietary laws; (along with the the keeping of Torah in general) we become a Kadosh people. Was 9:24 and 10:2 recording the same event? Discussion concerning this and it's place in the 'order' of things. 11: Wonder was expressed about the designation of differing owls when it appears that to mentions owls period would suffice. This also led to a discussion of the blood in fish and insects and how it differs from animal blood, as well as a discussion of the eating of insects which many seems to find repulsive. 11:39-40 Is this a contradiction with Deut. 14:21? Need to also see what the "Artscroll" commentary has to say concerning Lev.17:15 and 22:8 II Schmuel 7: Yah promises to establish David's family as rulers over Israel; this is a comforting fact in the face of the fact that he has been denied to ability to build The Temple. We noted a difference between the attitudes of Hezekiah who was pleased that condemnation for his sins and shortcoming in leading Israel would not come in his lifetime, whereas David was thankful for the promise of progenies. Brit Chadasha reading was Yoch.15 notes were not taken during this discussions here regrettably. Discussion:: I Cor. 10:23 Taken at face value, you could do whatever you wanted. But just because something is permissible, does it edify? (Mark 7:15&18) Is this speaking of spiritual things? The defilement of eating or touching an unclean thing is only temporary; whereas the defilement from our heart can only be cleansed through the atoning blood of Yahushua. 7:20-23 (notes courtesy of bro. James)

Yom Shabbat March 22nd, Location Michigan - Brother James Cramer's Home 1:00-5:00pm - Parsha 25 Tzav “Command” March 22, 2008 15 Adar-II 5768 Leviticus 6:1(8)*–8:36 Bet Shmuel/2nd Samuel 6, John 14 3-22-08 Parsha 25 Wayiqra 6:8-8:36 6:13 Just as the priests had to add fuel to the alter to keep the fire alive, we must feed the Ruach to keep it's fire going within us. We do this through our commune with YHWH. Why was the 'burnt offering completely burned in the fire? Was this a picture of what would happen to unrepentant sinners? 7:15 Does this suggest that the morning begins a new day? This appears to be the premise of those who hold to Shabbat only being the daylight hours of the "day". 8:16 Why were only these three pieces of the burnt offering placed upon the alter? Even the Jews today have lost track of the significance of these particular pieces in this sacrifice. It is notable that in the burnt offering, all is to be consumed by fire, either the choice parts on the alter, or the rest in a place set aside outside the camp. In the rest of the offerings, there are portions that may be eaten by either the priests or the offered and his family, depending on the type of offering it is. (notes courtesy of bro. James)

Yom Shabbat March 15th, Location Michigan - Dr Richard, and Janice Clore's Home 1:00-5:00pm - Parsha 24 Vayikra “And he called” March 15, 2008 8 Adar-II 5768 Leviticus 1:1–5:26 (6:7)* Bet Shmuel/2nd Samuel 5, John 13 Before the study, ice-breakers were given by all attending; which by the way included Bro. Wayne and his wife. It was really great to see them both again and enjoy their input. The third tithe was one of the subjects spoke on and an explanation that this was not a yearly tithe. Also that this tithe was specifically designated for the widow and poor. The sacrifices were very briefly discussed as some found it a distasteful subject. Strange considering that the Scriptures tell us that without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sin. Also; since the Scriptures tell us they will again be instituted in the millennium, we should be aware that Yah has a reason for the sacrifices. We read the haf-torah portion to help bring a bit more understanding on the topic of sacrifice. Moved into the realm of unquestioned obedience. if we as parents can appreciate this in our children, how much more so can and will our Master YHWH appreciate it in us? (notes courtesy of bro. James)

Erev Shabbat, March 14th, Location Jackson Michigan Evening Adult Torah Study 101 including the Parsha reading beginning at 6 PM on Erev Shabbat Brother Jack Clore's Home 6:00PM-8:00PM We were pleased to have Bro. Wayne join us along with Bros. Richard, Randy, Cary, and sisters Janice and Colleen. We had an interesting discussion early in the meeting concerning the seminar that Richard and I attended this month in Lansing sponsored by the Prophesy Club. The speaker was Joseph Dumond from Ontario, Canada. He led an interesting teaching on the jubilees. He attempted to pinpoint known events in history to determine where we are in time now. If he is correct, we're in for a rough time in the next few years if Israel doesn't come out of Babylon and return to YHVH. Another interesting thing he pointed out was that we are in the year of the third tithe in which we are obligated to support the widow, the orphan, and the poor. He suggested that we'd be wise to adhere to this. He wouldn't go into detail as to how he derived this because he said he was there to talk about the years of jubilee, and didn't want to be distracted. Another thing Brother Dumond brought to light was his belief that because of Hebrew law Yeshua haMoshiah was required to die by stoning while hanging on the tree. Again, because of the subject he was trying to cover he didn't go into detail, but said to Google his name for his website for further explanation. Anyway, getting back to the jubilee years, Bro. Dumond feels that haMoshiach will set foot on the Mount of Olives in the year 2045. Dummond emphasized that he has derived his findings through a lot of research and study, but always maintains an open mind to differing opinions that can be backed up by scripture. Some other discussion that took place was concerning the Michigan artifacts that several of the group drove to Lansing to see this month. They were impressed with the display, but said only a small portion was brought out to be seen, and the person in charge seemed not to be of the persuasion that they were authentic or had anything to do with evidence that there existed Hebrew visitors to the state in ancient times. (notes courtesy of bro. Jack)

March 12 at 11 AM Travel to Lansing Michigan to see the Artifacts unearthed in Michigan which mainstream scholars are calling "hoaxs" but scholars like Dr. Barry Fell and Hariette Mertz among others are calling genuine artifacts of PRE-COLUMBUS settlements in the Americas!

Yom Shabbat March 1, Location - OLSONS' FAMILY HOME 1:00-5:00pm - Parsha 22 Vayak’hel “And assembled” March 1, 2008 24 Adar-I 5768 Exodus 35:1–38:20 Bet Shmuel/2nd Samuel 3, John 11 3-1-08 Parsha 22 Shemoth 35:1-38:20 35:8 This appears to be the same anointing oil mentioned in our last Parsha reading. Verse 11 We notice that there is a 'tent' mentioned here as well as The Tabernacle. We find it more fully explained in 36:14. Also in this section we find that The Tabernacle apparently refers to all the items included in the service within the Tabernacle. 37: Wonder was expressed concerning 'the poles' used to carry the larger objects in the Tabernacle. Since apparently the poles used to carry The Ark of The Covenant were never removed, why were they not made as one piece with the Ark? 38:20 These offerings seem to be impromptu and spontaneous. !! Schmuel 3:19 Why was Benjamin mentioned separately from Israel? Shual was a Benjamite, thus the tribe of Benjamin would probably have continued to hold hostility toward David. Avner appears to be responsible for Israel's re-uniting under King David. Yoch.11:51-52 Whereas Moshe K. (in his notes) feels that verse 51 refers to the Jewish nation, and 52 as the nation of Israel; our feeling is that 51 includes both Judah and Israel, and 52 are those who gather themselves to Israel.
