It is our prayer and sincere hope that you will find our music palatable, soothing, inspiring, healing and worthwhile - enough so that you will want to support our on-going efforts by purchasing our CDs and inviting us to come and share at your congregation or event. Lev Shelo is not only about music, but we are also about "avodah", or "service" to our community. We invite you to visit a min- istry in Israel that we support through pragmatic means by clicking here. Think about it; pray about it and then...put your faith in action! Please see our website for more information: https://levshelo.com/home
We will be taking up a Love Offering following the time of Worship!
Halleluyah! Praise God in His Sanctuary! Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His acts of power. Praise Him for His enormous greatness. Praise Him with the blast of the shofar. Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with tambourine and dance. Praise Him with string instruments and flute. Praise Him with clash of cymbals. Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let every thing that has breath praise Adonai. Halleluyah!

MINISTRY UPDATES
Ahava Children’s Ministry The sign up sheet for November is back in the classroom/nursery area on the wall. Teachers and help- ers can sign themselves up for dates that work for them. It will cover 2 months at a time. Teachers will be planning their own lessons, and helpers as usual will assist the teacher. In the storage room in the back of the sanctuary, there is a curriculum box for books and lessons, or you can use resources that you have. More teachers are needed. There should be a minimum of one adult in the back (18 or over) but preferably 2 adults should sign up at a time. Please talk to Dee Rodriguez if you would like to serve as a teacher for the first time, or if you would be willing to serve as the new Shabbat School lead- er. For those who sign up for Shabbat School, on the Sabbath you are in the classroom, please let the people serving in the sound booth know and they can make you a copy of the message.
Davidic Dance Ministry
Beginning dance steps are offered after Oneg on the first and second Sabbaths of the month at 1:15 for 30 minutes. The Shabbat Medley dance will be taught during this time. All who learn it can then participate in the Shabbat Medley dance to bring in the Sabbath Service.
Is. 52:7 "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger of good tidings, that announces peace and announces salvation, that says unto Zion: "Your Elohim reigns!"
Davidic Dance at Ahava is worshiping Adonai with sacred reverence to Him. Therefore, there must be or- der and understanding when we worship through dance. Seasoned worship dancers may join the Davidic Dance circle after speaking to Daniele and Julia, our dance leaders, and demonstrating basic core steps. Ap- propriate dance attire is skirts and dresses below the knee, and tops should be covered shoulders, no tank tops or camisoles.... nothing see through. Our focus is to please Elohim and not man.
The Hora Dance is for everyone and we encourage all to participate and celebrate in this dance. The dance for “He Shall Reign” is for everyone as well!
Thank you for your understanding and we ask that you pray that Elohim be exalted through the dance ministry as it is a powerful weapon against the enemy.
Contact the Office at Ahava B’Shem Yeshua (928.443.5988) if you have any questions. Page 8 Ahava B’Shem Yeshua MESSIANIC 101 ROSH CHODESH
Genesis 1:14 Then God said, “Let lights in the expanse of the sky be for separating the day from the night. They will be for signs and for seasons and for days and years.” (TLV)
Exodus 12:1-2 Now Adonai spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt say- ing, “This month will mark the beginning of months to you; it is to be the first month of the year for you.” (TLV)
Psalms 81:4 Blow the Shofar at the New Moon, at the full moon for the day of our festival. (TLV)
Psalms 104:19 He made the moon for appointed times, the sun knows its going down. (TLV)
In Hebrew, Rosh Chodesh means, literally, "head of the new moon" or "first of the month." Rosh Chodesh is the first day of any new month. If a month is 30 days long, then the 30th day is treated as part of the Rosh Chodesh for the next month, and the Rosh Chodesh for next month extends for two days (the 30th of the earlier month and the 1st of the later month).
The last Shabbat of the month before Rosh Chodesh, Shabbat Mevarchim (the Shabbat when we bless), has special blessings for the new month. The blessing from the Artscroll Transliterated Linear Siddur has the following blessing for the Blessings of The New Moon:
“May it be Your will, HaShem, our God and the God of our forefathers, that You inaugurate this month up- on us for goodness and for blessing. May You give us long life-a life of peace, a life of goodness, a life of blessing, a life of sustenance, a life of physical health, a life in which there is fear of heaven and fear of sin, a life in which there is no shame nor humiliation, a life of wealth and honor, a life in which we will have love of Torah and fear of heaven, a life in which the requests of our heart will be fulfilled for the good. Amen, Se- lah” (Pg. 419-420).
There are special Torah readings for the Rosh Chodesh. If the Shabbat is one day before the new moon, Shabbat Machar Chodesh (the Shabbat of tomor- row’s moon), then 1 Samuel 20:18 - 42 is read. If the Rosh Chodesh falls on a regular weekday, then Numbers 28:1 - 15 is read. If Rosh Chodesh falls on the Shabbat, Shabbat Rosh Chodesh, then Numbers 28:9 - 15 and Isaiah 66:1 - 24 are read.
Chodesh Tov, which means “a good month”! May it be so!
Isaiah 66:23 “And it will come to pass, that from one New Moon to another, and from one Shabbat to another, all flesh will come to bow down before Me,” says Adonai.
