Episode 235: Hebrew Solidarity What does the future hold for Hebrew Israel while living in exile, and how can we influence the political, social, and economic environments in which we live without compromising our commitment to Yahweh? In this thought-provoking episode of Hebrews in Exile, we examine the challenges and responsibilities facing Hebrew Israelites as a distinct community functioning within a greater nation. While subject to political systems, laws, and institutions beyond our direct control, Hebrew Israel must consider how to establish a meaningful presence, exercise collective influence, and create opportunities for long-term stability, success, and prosperity. Central to this discussion is a fundamental question: Can Hebrew Israel achieve lasting success in exile without first establishing a community infrastructure rooted in the mitzvot of the Most High Yahweh? We explore the importance of building strong institutions, developing political awareness, encouraging economic cooperation, strengthening community leadership, and creating a unified vision for future generations. More importantly, we examine why our pursuit of political influence and prosperity must remain subordinate to our covenant obligations and the commandments of Yahweh. Our future cannot depend solely upon the political decisions of the greater nation in which we reside. It must also depend upon our willingness to organize, take responsibility for our collective condition, and establish a community whose principles, governance, and conduct reflect the ways of Yahweh. Hosted by Moreh Robert B. Holman Jr., with Moreh Malka and Moreh Sean Appleton, this episode challenges Hebrew Israel to look beyond the circumstances of exile and consider what must be done today to secure a stronger tomorrow. The question is not simply whether Hebrew Israel can survive in exile, but whether we can build, prosper, and positively influence the world around us while remaining obedient to Yahweh. Hebrews in Exile — One people, one covenant, one commitment to Yahweh.
Episode 234: Hebrew Solidarity In this episode of Hebrews in Exile, officiated by the Honorable Robert B. Holman Jr. and assisted by Morah Malka Amina and Moreh Sean Appleton, we examine one of the most persistent challenges facing Hebrew Israel in exile: our ability to come together as one people. What prevents Hebrew Israel from developing true solidarity and unity? Is it pride, competing doctrines, disagreements over leadership, mistrust, personal agendas, unresolved offenses, or the tendency to place individual congregations and organizations above the needs of the greater nation? This discussion looks closely at the roadblocks that continue to separate Hebrew Israelites and asks what must change if we are going to function with greater accountability, cooperation, and collective purpose. Unity does not require complete agreement on every issue, but it does require humility, discipline, respect, and a willingness to recognize that the restoration of Hebrew Israel is greater than any one individual, teacher, congregation, or organization. Join Hebrews in Exile as we confront the obstacles to solidarity and consider what it means to truly move forward together as a people committed to Yahweh.
Episode 233: Reflections on Yom Terumah In this episode of Hebrews in Exile, we explore Yom Teruah—the Feast of Trumpets. We discuss the biblical mitzvot connected to this appointed time, when it should be observed, its spiritual significance, and its call for Yahweh’s people to assemble, remember, and respond. We also examine the challenges modern-day Hebrew Israelites may encounter while preparing to observe Yom Teruah in exile. As the feast approaches, this discussion encourages us to examine ourselves, strengthen our connection with Yahweh, and make the necessary spiritual and practical preparations to honor this set-apart day faithfully.
Episode 232: Hebraic Salvation What Does Salvation Look Like From a Hebraic Perspective? What does it truly mean to be saved in the eyes of Yahweh? Is salvation simply a matter of what a person believes, or does the Hebraic understanding of salvation require something more? In this episode of Hebrews In Exile, we examine salvation from a Hebraic perspective by asking an important question: If salvation is connected to a person's belief system, what must that person actually believe, do, and become in order to receive salvation from Yahweh? We explore the relationship between belief, repentance, obedience, righteousness, covenant, and returning to the ways of the Most High. From a Hebraic perspective, belief is not merely an internal profession—it is demonstrated through how a person lives, the choices they make, and whether they are willing to turn away from disobedience and walk according to Yahweh’s instructions. For Hebrew Israelites living in exile, this discussion challenges us to examine whether our understanding of salvation has been shaped by the Scriptures themselves or by religious traditions that may have changed its original Hebraic meaning. What does Yahweh require from His people? Is acknowledging Him enough, or must belief produce repentance, obedience, and a transformed way of life? Join us as we examine what salvation looks like when viewed through a Hebraic lens and consider what it truly means to seek deliverance, restoration, and acceptance in the eyes of Yahweh alone.
Episode 231: Fear of Change Choosing Yahweh: Overcoming Fear in Exile For many Hebrew Israelites living in exile, recognizing the truth of Yahweh is only the beginning. The greater challenge can be having the courage to actually change—to let go of familiar traditions, religious customs, doctrines, and practices that may no longer align with the ways of the Most High. In this episode of Hebrews In Exile, we examine the fear, apprehension, and uncertainty that can arise when someone begins considering the transition to serving Yahweh only. What happens when truth challenges what we have practiced for years? How do family expectations, community pressure, fear of isolation, and uncertainty about the future influence our willingness to obey? We discuss practical strategies for confronting those fears, carefully examining our beliefs, and developing the confidence to walk according to the instructions and ways of Yahweh. The conversation encourages listeners not simply to acknowledge truth intellectually, but to consider what it means to have enough faith and conviction to act upon it. For Hebrews in exile, returning to Yahweh may require difficult decisions—but fear should never become the reason we refuse to move when the Most High is calling us toward obedience.
