And after his father died, God removed him from there into this land in which you are now living. Six promises • I will make you into a great nation. • I will bless you • I will make your name great. • You will be a blessing • I will bless those who bless you and whoever curse you I will curse. • And all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. Matthew 1:1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

THE BIG IDEA Our individual call – Luke 9:23-24 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” Our collective call – Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” .

  • Family of Abraham
    Family of Abraham Terah ? Haran Nahor Sarai - - - - - ABRAM - - - - - Hagar Lot Milcah Bethuel Ishmael (1) ISAAC (2) Daughter 1 Daughter 2 Ishmaelites (12 tribes / Arabs) Laban Rebekah Moabites Ammonites JACOB (2) Esau (1) Leah Rachel Edomites (+Zilpah) (+Bilhah) ISRAELITES Key: blue = men; red = women; (12 tribes / Jews) dashes = spouses; arrows = children Terah: from Ur of the Chaldeans; has 3 sons; wife not named (Gen 11:26-32; cf. Luke 3:34). Haran: dies in Ur before his father dies; wife not named; son Lot, daughters Milcah & Iscah (11:27-28). Nahor: marries Milcah, daughter of his brother Haran (11:29); have 8 sons, incl. Bethuel (22:20-24). Abram: main character of Gen 12–25; recipient of God’s promises; name changed to ABRAHAM (17:5); sons Ishmael (by Hagar) and Isaac (by Sarah); after Sarah’s death, takes another wife, Keturah, who has 6 sons (25:1-4), including Midian, ancestor of the Midianites (37:28-36). Lot: son of Haran, thus nephew of Abram, who takes care of him (11:27–14:16; 18:17–19:29); wife and two daughters never named; widowed daughters sleep with their father and bear sons, who become ancestors of the Moabites and Ammonites (19:30-38). Sarai: Abram’s wife, thus Terah’s daughter-in-law (11:29-31); Abram also calls her his “sister,” which seems deceptive in one story (12:10-20); but in another story Abram insists she really is his half- sister (his father’s daughter by another wife; 20:1-18); originally childless, but in old age has a son, Isaac (16:1–21:7); name changed to SARAH (17:15); dies and is buried in Hebron (23:1-20).

  • Lies in Tanach Sources with English
    The Parodox of a Loving Lie: Justifying Lies in Tanach Nechama Price Keep far from a false charge; do not bring death on those who are innocent and in the right, for I will not acquite the wrongdoer. Keep lies and false words far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches, But provide me with my daily bread. He who deals deceitfully shall not live in my house; he who speaks untruth shall not stand before my eyes. Rav Yirmiya bar Abbar said: four classes of sinners do not recieve the Divine Presence: the class of scoffers, the class of flatterers and the class of liars, and the class of those who speak lashon hara... Class of lyers: (Tehilim 101) “lyers can’t dwell within my house!” 1) Avraham As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know what a beautiful woman you are. If the Egyptians see you, and think, ‘She is his wife,’ they will kill me and let you live. Please say that you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that I may remain alive thanks to you.” Then Abraham said to his servants, “You stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go up there; we will worship and we will return to you.” 2) Sarah And Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “Now that I am withered, am I to have enjoyment—with my husband so old?” Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I in truth bear a child, old as I am?’ Is anything too wondrous for the LORD? I will return to you at the same season next year, and Sarah shall have a son.” Sarah lied, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was frightened.

  • Gendering Sarai: Reading Beyond Cisnormativity in Genesis 11:29–12:20 and 20:1–18
    Open Theology 2020; 6: 496–509 Women and Gender in the Bible and the Biblical World Jo Henderson-Merrygold* Gendering Sarai: Reading Beyond Cisnormativity in Genesis 11:29–12:20 and 20:1–18 https://doi.org/10.1515/opth-2020-0133 received June 26, 2020; accepted August 03, 2020 Abstract: This article explores the way assumptions about gender prevalent in twenty-first century readers impact our understanding of Sarai. It interrogates the way a mere glimpse allows us to instantaneously assign a person gender, something trans theorist Julia Serano calls gendering. Through this article, we see how the third- party accounts of Sarai in Genesis 11:19–12:20 parallel the experience of that introductory glance today. By undertaking a close reading, different themes emerge that work to both confirm and challenge her fitwithin dominant gender norms. Indeed, Sarai cannot easily be subsumed into cisnormative gender expectations that privilege consistent coherence between the sex assigned at birth and gender identity and expression. Genesis 20:1–20 is then placed in discussion with the earlier portion of Sarai’s story. It provides the opportunity to revisit how observers within the text see and understand her. In turn new details emerge that seek to confirm Sarai’s fit within cisnormativity; but in doing so, they end up disrupting our perception that Sarai is a cisnormative woman. Ultimately, this reading establishes that Sarai does not neatly fit our preconceptions, which opens up the potential to consider her a transgender or a gender-diverse figure. Keywords: transgender, gender, Genesis, Hebrew Bible, Sarai, reader-response, cisnormativity, queer, ideological hermeneutics Abram and Nahor took wives; the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah.

  • Egalitarian Kiddushin and Ketubbah

Voting in favor: Rabbis Aaron Alexander, Pamela Barmash, Elliot Dorff, Susan Grossman, Judith Hauptman, Jeremy Kalmanofsky, Steven Kane, Jan Kaufman, Amy Levin, Daniel Nevins, Micah Peltz, Robert Scheinberg, Deborah Silver, and Iscah Waldman. Voting against: Rabbis Baruch Frydman-Kohl, Joshua Heller, David Hoffman, and Avram Reisner. Abstaining: Rabbis Gail Labovitz and Ariel Stofenmacher. (She’eilah -- Question) שאלה May kiddushin, the traditional form of Jewish marriage, and the Jewish marriage ceremony, be made into an egalitarian form for a male-female Jewish couple? Is there an egalitarian form for the ketubbah? (Teshuvah -- Answer) תשובה 1. Introduction: The Spiritual Resonance of Jewish Marriage The form of Jewish marriage, effectuated by means of kiddushin and manifested in a ketubbah, has traditionally not been egalitarian. The groom takes on the active role, and the bride assumes a mostly passive role. Those seeking egalitarian marriage have followed two paths. One path is to determine that kiddushin cannot be molded in an egalitarian manner because of how it has operated historically, and a number of proposals for Jewish marriage by other means have been presented to the Jewish community.1 The other way is to maintain our tradition by —————————————————————————————————— The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly provides guidance in matters of halakhah for the Conservative movement.

For those of you who have been a Christian for any length of time, you have probably heard one or more messages on I Kings Chapters 17-19. Of course it starts with 17 where Elijah warns Ahab of a drought. Further along in that chapter Elijah meets a widow and he raises the widow’s son. Then in chapter 18 Elijah confronts Ahab again. Ahab was a wicked king and he had a wicked queen, Jezebel. I’m not going to review the history behind those two individuals. Let’s just call them evil and wicked because that is what they were. I’m not going to stay on these verses very long because I’m going to go to what most don’t know about where Islam came from and the history. Nearly everyone believes Islam was invented and established in approximately the 600’s by Mohammed after he supposedly received from God through Gabriel principles and holy scripture which was subsequently called the Koran.
