God is One, within His oneness He is also three-in-one and one-in-three. We know it's confusing, but even the word "Echad" ("one" in Hebrew) is plural oneness. As we start this Jewish new year and celebrate Rosh Hashanah, we focus on understanding how we can be known by and know the God of Israel.
"One" is part 4 of the series "Hearing & Doing."

Strength - Sukkot Day 8

The Hebrew word "me'od" is often translated as "strength" in English translations of the Bible. A literal translation of me'od is "muchness." As we end Sukkot and this wonderful fall Holy Day season, we finish our series on the Shema with the question: what does it mean to "love God with all of our muchness?" "Strength" is part 8 of "Hearing & Doing."
Soul - Sukkot Day 1
October 3, 2020 • Matt Rosenberg
Nephesh, in Hebrew, is often translated as "soul" in English translations of the Bible going back to the King James Version in 1611. Nephesh doesn't really mean "soul" but rather literally "throat," and actually refers to our "being" in connection to our physical bodies. As we begin Sukkot we ask the question: what does it mean to "love God with all of our soul?" "Soul" is part 7 of "Hearing & Doing"
