In places where it is hard to find meat koshered properly, being a vegetarian helps tremendously. Scripture does not command us to eat meat. After the flood G-d allowed Noah and his descendents to eat meat as there was no plant life. Prior to the flood man was only allowed to partake of grains, etc. Rabbi Mordecai -- Rabbi Michael Silver (Rav Mordecai Ben-Baruch) Etz Chayim - Tree of Life Messianic Jewish Congregation P.O.

There are many things that you can prepare. If you would like to know of the foods, I would advise obtaining a kosher cookbook, which can be had from many Judaic sites. 1-800-Judaism is one such place. Ask them to send you a catalog or check out their web site at www.judaism.com.

If the electric stove is approved then should not be the microwave? In the time of the wanderings, when G-d provided food for the Israelites, he made sure that they would have enough food on Friday, so that the people would have enough to eat on the Shabbat. My wife and I have just recently discussed this issue and have come to the conclusion that we are not to cook (using any means) from Friday evening until Saturday evening. If this means eating a cold meal we will do so. G-d's intention was not to deny us the means of sustaining our bodies, but to teach us that no work was to be done on the Shabbat. And cooking is work, though to some it is a pleasure, we need to focus on Him and our families and our congregations where we worship. Focus on the things of G-d. That is what He intended along with giving us time to rest from the week's labor's.

Proverbs 11:30 ********************************************************************** From: Messianic Jewish Rabbi Roi Levine Garcia To: heb_roots_chr@geocities.com Subject: Re: Torah Cycle Readings I studied in ISrael for some time. The Torah cylce that was accepted in Hebrew Univ was the one year cycle. With that understanding, Yeshua read from Luke 4 the Shabbot before Rosh HaShanna and his answers to the enemy while he was in the desert are from the Torah Portion of that week. Also, the Torah portion we were just in Barak... has its Haftarah portion in Micah 5:1 which includes the prophecy in Bethlehem. Only in the past 300 years has it begun with Micah 5:6. The prophecy in Micah 5:2 co-inciedes with 'Numbers 24:17 about the star out of Jacob. Shalom Messianic Rabbi Roi Levine Garcia *********************************************************************** From: Messianic Rabbi Roi Levine Garcia To: heb_roots_chr@geocities.com Subject: Re: Tallis There is a book out from Ariel Kaplan on the Talet, Garment of Light. Interesting.... There is even a Kosher manner in which one folds the tallis, taught in Orthodox shuls in Israel. When I visited they said this was the custom to fold it for over centuries. When HaShem gave Adam and Eve their coats of skin... It could also be translated coats of light... The sages say their first clothing was a talet.
