The Prayer Yeshua Prayed Twice Every Day

One of Jesus’s earliest memories was no doubt watching and listening to his family when they gathered to pray the Shema at sunrise before the day’s work began and after the working work day was over at sunset . He also heard and participated in praying the Shema at their synagogue. He was surrounded by neighbors who also prayed the same prayer in their homes every day. The Hebrew word for prayer is tefilah . It is derived from the root Pe-Lamed-Lamed and the word l'hitpalel, meaning “ to judge oneself .” This surprising word origin provides insight into the purpose of Jewish prayer.

Yeshua Thought in Hebrew: Good Eye and Evil Eye???

Every language is laden with idioms and euphemisms . When we are unaware of their presence we will find ourselves in a state of confusion because their “ literal meanings simply do not make sense .” Native speakers learn those meanings and subconsciously recognize them by the contexts in which they appear. Idioms are just part of the way they think . Below are a few idioms native English speaking Americans easily recognize and understand. The idioms are underlined: (1) You blew it this time so you better get ready to face the music . ● In literal terms “ blew it ” means “ to blow air out of your mouth .” The meaning of the idiom is “ to made a big mistake ” or “ to do something wrong .” ● In literal terms facing the music means “ to turn your body to the direction of the music and stand in front of it .” The meaning of the idiom is “ to face reality ” or “ to deal with the reality of the situation and accept all the consequences ” (usually “ bad ”). ● “ You...
