Covenants Lesson #7 – The Vessel its contents and purpose.

Advanced Class

 This lesson begins with a look at the numeric value of the Hebrew word Brit (covenant - ברית ).  I then move into the idea of a vessel (Hebrew – Keli) כלי in relation to the concept of the contents of the Brit.

I conclude the lesson with a look at the seven stages of wisdom or the seven characteristic of wisdom as mentioned in Perke Avot 5:7

This class takes a very advanced look into the subject of creation, holiness and being a vessel of G-d.

Notes to this class will be posted soon.

Torah  – The Eternal Covenant

We begin our discussion with the omniscience of G-d. This allows us to realize that all the decisions of G-d are made without any deficiency of understanding and or lack of His knowledge of future events.

We delve into the eternal aspects of the Torah as a preparation for future classes where we will discuss the aspects of the “New Covenant.”
