        YESHUA/JESUS WAS A TORAH OBSERVANT JEW

     Earlier in the chapter, we saw that Yeshua/Jesus was a Jewish
rabbi. He had students/disciples (talmidim) which learned His
teachings. His teachings came from the Jewish scriptures (TeNaKh). As
a Jewish rabbi, Yeshua/Jesus taught the Torah of the G-d of Israel.
He taught the Torah as an Aggadic rabbi in parables. The Jewish
Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was a Torah observant Jew and He
taught His followers to be Torah observant. Sin is the transgression
of the Torah. In I John (Yochanan) 3:4 it is written:

      "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law [Torah]:
      for sin is the transgression of the law [Torah]."

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was SINLESS.
Therefore, He NEVER transgressed the Torah of the G-d of Israel. In I
Peter (Kefa) 2:21-22 it is written:

      "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ [Mashiach]
      also suffered for us, leaving an example, that ye should follow
      his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his
      mouth."

     The prophet Isaiah (Yeshayahu) also tells that the Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) would live a life without  sin. In Isaiah (Yeshayahu)
53:1-6, 9-10 it is written:

      "Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm [zeroa] of
      the Lord revealed? . He is despised and rejected of men; a man
      of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our
      faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely
      he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did
      esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was
      wounded for our transgressions [sin is the transgression of the
      Torah - I John 3:4], he was bruised for our iniquities: the
      chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we
      are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned
      every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the
      iniquity of us all . And he made his grave with the wicked, and
      with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence,
      neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to
      bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his
      soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall
      prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in
      his hand."

      In II Corinthians 5:19, 21 is it written:

      "To wit, that God was in Christ [Mashiach], reconciling the
      world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and
      hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation . for he hath
      made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be
      made the righteousness of God in him."

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was sinless. Since sin
is the transgression of the Torah, the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus never transgressed the Torah. The Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was a Torah observant Jew. Like any Torah
observant Jewish rabbi, He taught His students (talmidim) to be Torah
observant. In fact, Yeshua/Jesus taught that those who believed in
Him as Messiah (Mashiach) and were Torah observant would be blessed
above those who believed in Him as Messiah (Mashiach) and were not
Torah observant. In Matthew (Mattityahu) 5:17-19, Yeshua/Jesus taught
these words as it is written:

      "THINK NOT that I am come to destroy the law [Torah], or the
      prophets [Nevi'im]: I am not come to destroy [to incorrectly
      interpret and teach the Torah], but to fulfill [to correctly
      interpret and teach the Torah]. For verily I say unto you, Till
      heaven and earth pass, one jot [yud which is the smallest letter
      in the Hebrew alphabet] or one tittle [taggim which is the
      decoration crowns which are put on various Hebrew letters] shall
      in no wise pass from the law [Torah], till all be fulfilled.
      Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,
      and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
      kingdom of heaven [malkut shamayim]: but whosoever shall do and
      teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
      heaven [malkut shamayim]."

     In these verses, the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus
taught that He did not come to destroy the Torah but to fulfill the
Torah. "Destroying the Torah" and "fulfilling the Torah" are Jewish
idioms. An idiom is a slang expression that is understood in the
culture of its day. "Destroying the Torah" is a Jewish idiom that
means to incorrectly interpret and teach the Torah. "Fulfilling the
Torah" is a Jewish idiom that means to correctly interpret and teach
the Torah. Therefore, we can understand from these things that the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was a Torah observant Jew and
He taught His students (talmidim) to be Torah observant.


                     THE TORAH IS TRUTH AND LIGHT

      The Torah of the G-d of Israel is called truth. In Psalm
(Tehillim) 119:142 it is written:

      "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law
      [Torah] is the truth."

     The Torah is also called truth in Malachi 2:1, 6-7 as it is
     written:

      "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you . The law
      [Torah] of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in
      his lips . for the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they
      should seek the law [Torah] at his mouth: for he is the
      messenger of the Lord of hosts."

     In these scriptures, we see that the G-d of Israel calls His
Torah truth and it is the priests who are commanded to teach the
Torah of the G-d of Israel to His people. The Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus is the great High Priest (Cohen HaGadol) of
the G-d of Israel (Hebrews 3:1, 4:14). Being a Torah observant Jew, a
Jewish rabbi and the great High Priest of the G-d of Israel, the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus taught His students/disciples
(talmidim) to walk (halacha) in the truth which is the Torah (Psalm
119:142). In John (Yochanan) 8:31-32, Yeshua/Jesus taught His
students/disciples (talmidim) these words as it is written:

      "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
      continue in my word [in Jewish thought, Torah is synonymous with
      the Word of G-d], then are ye my disciples [talmidim] indeed;
      And ye shall know the truth [which is the Torah - Psalm
      119:142], and the truth [Torah] shall make you free."

      In John (Yochanan) 17:17, the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus prayed that his students/disciples (talmidim) would be
sanctified (which means to be holy and set apart) by following the
truth (which is the Torah - Psalm 119:142) as it is written:

      "Sanctify [be holy and set apart] them through thy truth: thy
      word [Torah] is truth [Psalm 119:142]."

     The Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) came to dwell inside the hearts
of both Jewish (house of Judah) and non-Jewish (house of Israel)
believers in Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah (Mashiach) and to write the
Torah of the G-d of Israel upon the hearts of His people. In Hebrews
10:15-16 it is written:

      "Whereof the Holy Ghost [Ruach HaKodesh] also is a witness to
      us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that
      I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will
      put my laws [Torah] into their hearts, and in their minds will I
      write them."

     The Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) is called the Spirit of truth
(which is the Torah - Psalm 119:142). It is His responsibility to
guide the followers of Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah (Mashiach) in
following the Torah of the G-d of Israel and to testify that
Yeshua/Jesus in the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach). In John (Yochanan)
15:26, 16:13, it is written:

      "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from
      the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the
      Father, he shall testify of me ... Howbeit when he, the Spirit
      of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
      shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that
      shall he speak: and he will show you things to come."

      The Torah is also called a lamp and a light. In Proverbs
      (Mishlei) 6:23 it is written:

      "For the commandment is a lamp; and the law [Torah] is light;
      and reproofs of instruction are the way of life."

     In Psalm (Tehillim) 119:97, 105, David writes that he loves the
     Torah because it is a light to him as it is  written:

      "O how love I thy law [Torah]! It is my meditation all the day .
      thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus taught that those who
keep the Torah of the G-d of Israel (which is light) become a light
to the world. In Matthew (Mattityahu) 5:14-16 it is written:

      "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill
      cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
      bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that
      are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they
      may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
      heaven."

     The followers of the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus are
called to be children of light (which is  the Torah). In Ephesians
5:8 it is written:

      "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the
      Lord: walk [halacha] as children of light."


                    YESHUA/JESUS TAUGHT THE SHEMA

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus taught his
students/disciples (talmidim) that the greatest commandment in the
Torah is the SHEMA. The Hebrew word SHEMA is the Strong's word 8085
in the Hebrew concordance and means "to hear, do and obey." It is the
first word in Deuteronomy (Devarim) 6:4. In Deuteronomy (Devarim)
6:4-5 it is written:

      "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt
      love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy
      soul, and with all thy might."

     The G-d of Israel also commanded His people in the Torah to love
your neighbor as yourself. In Leviticus (Vayikra) 19:18 it is written:

      "Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children
      of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am
      the Lord."

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus taught that the SHEMA
is the greatest commandment in the Torah and loving your neighbor as
yourself is the second greatest commandment in the Torah. In Mark
12:28-31 it is written:

      "And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning
      together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked
      him, Which is the first [greatest] commandment [in the Torah] of
      all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments
      is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt
      love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
      and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: [Deuteronomy
      6:4-5] this is the first commandment. And the second is like,
      namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself [Leviticus
      19:18]. There is none other commandment greater than these."


                         YESHUA/JESUS WORSHIPPED
                  IN THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH

      Being a Torah observant Jew, the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus worshipped in a Jewish synagogue every Sabbath. In Luke
4:14-16 it is written:

      "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and
      there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
      And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And
      he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his
      custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and
      stood up for to read."

     It is a Jewish custom to call a reader to read the parasha
(weekly reading) every Sabbath from a raised podium (bema). When he
comes, the reader is regarded as making an aliyah (which means to go
up or to ascend). It is a tremendous blessing for the reader to be
able to read the Jewish Scriptures of the G-d of Israel. In Luke
4:17, the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus followed this Jewish
custom. In Luke 4:17 it is written:

      "And there was delivered unto him [he made an aliyah] the book
      of the prophet Isaiah."

     Because the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was a Torah
observant Jew, He worshipped  weekly in the Jewish synagogue on the Sabbath.


            YESHUA/JESUS KEPT THE BIBLICAL FESTIVALS

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus and His parents kept
the Biblical Festivals found in Leviticus (Vayikra) 23. In Luke
2:41-42, Yeshua/Jesus and His parents kept the Biblical festival of
Passover (Pesach) as it is written:

      "Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of
      the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to
      Jerusalem after the custom of the feast."

     In fact, the last meal that the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus had was a Passover (Pesach) Seder meal. In Luke 22:14-15
it is written:

      "And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve
      apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have
      desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer [be
      crucified on the tree]."

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus kept Sukkot (the Feast
of Tabernacles). The last day of Sukkot is a special day known as
Hoshana Rabbah which means "the great salvation." In the first
century, a special ceremony took place in the Temple (Beit HaMikdash)
on Hoshana Rabbah where there was a circling of the altar seven
times. While circling the altar seven times, special hoshanah prayers
were recited. These prayers include the words, "Save us now; we
implore you!"

     Water is a very important aspect of the celebration of Sukkot
(Feast of Tabernacles). During the first century, there was a very
important water pouring ceremony that took place every day during the
seven days of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) except the first day.
This ceremony was known as the Simchat Beit HaShoevah (the rejoicing
at the house of the water-drawing) (Talmud, Sukkot 5). It was with
this setting that the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was
attending Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) on the last day known as
Hoshana Rabbah. In John (Yochanan) 7:2, 37-38 it is written:

      "Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand .In the last
      day, that great day of the feast [Hoshana Rabbah], Jesus stood
      and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
      drink. He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out
      of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."

     The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is known as the "season of our
joy" by the house of Judah (Judaism). During the celebration of
Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 12:3 is often
quoted as it is written:

      "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of
      salvation."

     Yeshua/Jesus in Hebrew means "salvation." He is the Jewish
Messiah (Mashiach) and the salvation (Yeshua)  of both the house of
Judah (Judaism) and the house of Israel (Christianity).

     For a more detailed study of Messiah and the Biblical Festivals,
I would encourage you to read my book, "The Seven Festivals of the
Messiah." In this book, I teach how the G-d of Israel gave the
Biblical Festivals in Leviticus (Vayikra) 23 to teach about the first
and second coming of the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus and
our personal relationship with the G-d of Israel.


                       YESHUA/JESUS LIVED AS A JEW

     In this section of this chapter of the book, we showed that the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus lived as a Jew. He was a
Jewish rabbi. He taught His followers to be Torah observant. The
followers of His teachings were known as students/disciples
(talmidim). The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus taught His
followers in parables as an aggadic rabbi. He taught that the
greatest commandment in the Torah is the SHEMA (Deuteronomy [Devarim]
6:4-5).

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was a Torah observant
Jew. He worshipped in the Jewish synagogue on the Sabbath. He kept
the Biblical Festivals found in Leviticus (Vayikra) 23. In His adult
life, ministry and teachings, Yeshua/Jesus lived a Jewish lifestyle
as a Torah observant Jew.

     In the final sections of this chapter, we will show how the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus died a Jew
and will return to rule and reign in the Messianic Age (Athid Lavo)
teaching the Torah of the G-d of Israel to all nations during that
time.


                          YESHUA/JESUS DIED A JEW

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus died a Jew. He had a
     Jewish burial. In John (Yochanan) 19:40,  it is written:

      "Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes
      with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury."


                       BELIEF IN THE RESURRECTION
                            OF THE DEAD IS JEWISH

      In traditional Judaism, there are thirteen articles to Jewish
faith. One of these articles is a belief in the resurrection of the
dead. The Apostle Paul (Rav Sha'ul) was a Jew and an Israelite from
the tribe of Benjamin (Philippians 3:5). He took a Nazarite vow
(Numbers 6:1-21) in Acts 21:20-26 as a witness and to testify that he
taught Jewish believers (house of Judah) in Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah
(Mashiach) to be Torah observant. In I Corinthians 15:1, 3-4, 14, 20,
23 the Apostle Paul (Rav Sha'ul) writes:

      "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I
      preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye
      stand . For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
      received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
      [Jewish] Scriptures; And that he was buried [as a Jew], and that
      he rose again the third day according to the [Jewish] Scriptures
      . And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and
      your faith is also vain . But now is Christ risen from the dead,
      and become the firstfruits of them that slept . But every man in
      his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are
      Christ's at his coming."

     The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was resurrected from
the dead in accordance with the traditional Jewish belief in the
resurrection of the dead.


           YESHUA WILL RETURN AT HIS SECOND COMING
                          ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES

     It is Jewish tradition that the Mount of Olives is called the  
"mountain of the Messiah." When the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus ascended into heaven following His resurrection from the
dead, He did so from the Mount of Olives. In Acts 1:9-12 it is written:

      "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was
      taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while
      they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two
      men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of
      Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus,
      which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like
      manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Then returned they
      unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet [Olives]."

     When the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus returns to the
earth at His second coming as the Kingly Messiah (Messiah ben David),
He will do so by setting His feet on the mount of Olives. In
Zechariah 14:3-4, it is written:

      "Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations,
      as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand
      in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem
      on the east ."


   YESHUA WILL TEACH THE TORAH TO THE NATIONS DURING
                              THE MESSIANIC AGE

     After the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus returns to the
earth at His second coming as the Kingly Messiah (Messiah ben David)
following setting His feet upon the mount of Olives (Acts 1:9-12,
Zechariah 14:3-4), He will rule and reign over all nations teaching
them the Torah during the Messianic age (Athid Lavo) from the city of
Jerusalem (Yerushalayim). In Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 2:2-3, it is written:

      "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain
      of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the
      mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations
      shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye,
      and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of
      the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will
      walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law
      [Torah], and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."

     When the Torah is taught to all the nations during the Messianic
Age (Athid Lavo) then the great commission of the Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus will be fulfilled. The great commission of
Yeshua/Jesus is a commandment for His followers to make
students/disciples (talmidim) of all nations teaching them to
observe all things (the Torah) that He commanded them. In Matthew
(Mattityahu) 28:18-20, it is written:

      "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
      unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all
      nations [the Torah], baptizing [mikvah/immersion] them in the
      name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost [Ruach
      HaKodesh]: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
      commanded you [the Torah]: and, lo, I am with you always, even
      unto the end of the world."

      During the Messianic age (Athid Lavo), there will be a Temple
(Beit HaMikdash) in Jerusalem (Yerushalayim). We are told this in
Ezekiel (Yechezekel) chapters 40-48. In these chapters, it also tells
us that during the Messianic Age (Athid Lavo), all the nations will
be keeping the Sabbath, the biblical festivals and the new moon. In
Ezekiel (Yechezekel) 41:1, 42:1, 43:5, 44:1, 46:1, 3, the Sabbath and
new moon will be observed as it is written:

      "Afterward he brought me to the temple . Then he brought me
      forth into the utter court . So the spirit took me up, and
      brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the
      Lord filled the house .Then he brought me back the way of the
      gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and
      it was shut . Thus saith the Lord God; The gate of the inner
      court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working
      days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of
      the new moon it shall be opened .. Likewise the people of the
      land shall worship at the door of this gate before the Lord in
      the sabbaths and in the new moons."

     The worship of the G-d of Israel on the Sabbath and new moon will
also be done during the times of the new heavens and the new earth.
In Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 66:22-23 it is written:

      "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make,
      shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and
      your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new
      moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all
      flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord."

     During the Messianic Age (Athid Lavo), the Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus will instruct all nations to keep the
biblical festivals. In Ezekiel (Yechezekel) 45:21, Passover (Pesach)
and Unleavened Bread (Hag HaMatzah) will be observed as it is written:

      "In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye
      shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread
      shall be eaten."

     In addition, during the Messianic Age (Athid Lavo), the G-d of
Israel will require all nations to keep the feast of tabernacles
(Sukkot). In Zechariah 14:16-17 it is written:

      "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all
      the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from
      year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep
      the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not
      come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to
      worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no
      rain."

     Therefore, from these scriptures, we can understand that the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus will be teaching the nations
to follow the Torah during the Messianic Age.


                 YESHUA/JESUS IS OUR JEWISH MESSIAH

     In this chapter, we learned that the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus is the Messiah (Mashiach) of both houses of Israel
(Judaism and Christianity). Yeshua/Jesus was born a Jew. He was
raised by Jewish parents in a Jewish home. He lived a Torah observant
Jewish lifestyle. He was a Jewish rabbi and He taught His
students/disciples (talmidim) to live a Torah observant lifestyle.
Yeshua/Jesus died a Jew. When He returns at His second coming to be
the Kingly Messiah known as Messiah ben David, He will teach the
Torah to the nations from the city of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim).

     In order to be fully restored to the G-d of Israel, the house of
Judah (Judaism) and the house of Israel (Christianity) need to
recognize that Yeshua/Jesus is our JEWISH Messiah (Mashiach) and need
to identify with His Jewishness. The house of Judah (Judaism) needs
to accept that Yeshua/Jesus is the promised Messiah (Mashiach) as
foretold in the Jewish scriptures. The house of Israel (Christianity)
needs to more fully identify with the Jewishness of Yeshua/Jesus and
embrace the Jewish roots of faith in Messiah. When these things are
done, the G-d of Israel will bring full restoration to both houses of
Israel. May it be done speedily in our days. Amen.
