The calendar was given to us by the Sanhedrin. Deuteronomy 17:8–13 (LEB) 8 “If a matter is too difficult for you⌋, for example disputes between blood and blood, between legal claim and legal claim and between assault and assault and between matters of discernment in your ⌊towns⌋, then you shall get up and you shall go to the place that Yahweh your God will choose; 9 then you shall go to the priests and the Levites and to the judge who will be in office in those days, and you shall enquire, and they shall announce to you ⌊the verdict⌋. 10 “And ⌊you shall carry out exactly the decision⌋ that they announced to you from that place that Yahweh will choose, and ⌊you shall diligently observe⌋ according to all that they instruct you. 11 And so according to ⌊the instruction of the law⌋ that they teach you and according to the decisions that they say to you, you shall do; you shall not turn from the word that they tell you to the right or to the left. 12 And the man who treats with contempt so as not to listen to the priest who is standing to minister on behalf of Yahweh your God or to the judge, that man shall die; so you shall purge the evil from Israel. 13 And all the people will hear and will be afraid, and they will not behave presumptuously again. I would like to help with this problem with those outside of Judaism who are trying to figure out what to do or who to follow concerning the Torah. First of all, how many outside Judaism can read Hebrew? Well, first of all, that is where I would begin. That will take about 5 to 7 years to get proficient and then you will need to study the History of Israel to discover why Judah has made the decision they have made. Then you will need to study the oral law to see why our judges have made the laws they have made over the thousands of years of being a people. The Tanach says in Psalm 147:19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel. 20 He has not done so for any nation, and they do not know His ordinances. This passages is speaking of our forefathers and our judges who passed the understanding down to their children. The tribe of Judah was the only tribe that kept this knowledge and passed it on. The rest of Israel was scattered to the nation and called the Torah a strange thing. Hosea 8:11 When Ephraim multiplied altars to expiate sins, they became to him altars to sin on. 12 I write for him myriads of my instruction; they are regarded as a strange thing. How many people in the discussion consider yourself Jews? or belonging to the Tribe of Judah? Psalm 78:9 The sons of Ephraim, ⌊armed with archers⌋,turned back on the day of battle. 10 They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to go in his law.11 They also forgot his deeds, and his wonders that he had shown them. Judah is the Law giver according to Hashem and not anyone else. So many people in the Hebrew Roots movement have a dislike for Jews and there standing with Hashem and forget the Yeshua endorsed the oral law. Many people in the Hebrew Roots movement say, let us return to our roots and then say, well not to those roots, there Jewish. The root of your faith is Jewish and was given to you by a Jew, Yeshua. Yeshua changed nothing in the Torah written or oral. The whole Tanach is oral. * I believe that one of the most telling arguments for the requirement of an oral law, other than the command of Torah, is the tradition that gives us the pronunciation of the words of the Torah. The words written in a Torah scroll are written without any vowel markings. This means that any word in the Torah has potentially many meanings, depending on what vowels are applied to the consonants to form the sounds of the word. We have a tradition which teaches us how the words are pronounced. This tradition, found in the oral law, defines the meaning of each word in the Torah!* Thus, all the Christian and Jewish translations of the Torah rely on this tradition for their translations. Without this tradition it would be impossible to make a translation of the Torah. Without this tradition there would be anarchy in the translations and in the pronunciation of the words. Without this tradition it would be impossible to know what HaShem is telling us through His Torah. Each word, in the Torah, can be read and made to mean almost anything, depending on the vowels one introduces. The first verse in chapter two of Genesis reads: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished.” It can also be read as: “Thus the heavens and the earth were destroyed.” Thus we see that without an oral tradition to teach us the vowels and the sounds of the words, it would be impossible for us to understand their meaning. How many of you have seriously studied the Talmud, or Gamara, or Mishna? Then how can you start filling in the blanks to question you have never studied? I am writing to challenge the members of this community to follow the Torah and to learn both the written and oral torah before you start following people who are independent contractors. People who do not even read Hebrew or know the History of their roots. Do you belong to greater Israel or to the Church who changed to Torah. Here are a couple of articles I think will help. simpletoremember/media/a/torah-cause-and-reality/simpletoremember/media/a/truth-and-faith-male-female/ genetictestingfamilytree.blogspot/b/post-preview?token=hLOon0ABAAA.In-qc5tfporxXlXW090PVQ.c_TTQZiR3cP1GZCkVVPbfg&postId=1271915453729439922&type=POSThttp%3A%2F%2F youtube/watch?v=dXEXE43QPXU
