Our congregation (in-person and online) is a diverse community of disciples, both Jews and those from many nations, tribes, and tongues (Revelation 7:9). And while we are a Jewish synagogue, committed to the Jewish traditions, teachings, and lifestyle exemplified by our ancestors, our vision is to practice an inclusive Messianic Judaism for All Nations; a restoration of the faith of the earliest communities of Yeshua-followers; a window into the beauty of the Messianic Era in which King Messiah will reign.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T00:17:22.700943+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539"},"episode":{"title":"5 Minute Torah - Acharei Mot-Kedoshim - Limiting What Is Permitted","slug":"5-minute-torah-acharei-mot-kedoshim-limiting-what-is-permitted","published_at":"2026-04-23T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539/5-minute-torah-acharei-mot-kedoshim-limiting-what-is-permitted","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539","url":"https://shalom-macon.castos.com/episodes/5-minute-torah-acharei-mot-kedoshim-limiting-what-is-permitted","audio_url":"https://episodes.castos.com/6501ac046a2ca7-89841118/2430422/c1e-k3q6mcdd5w3czgwpo-ok0mgmvqcx2p-7qeyu1.mp3","summary":"What does it actually mean to be holy? In Acharei Mot–Kedoshim, we’re given a sweeping collection of commandments—honor your parents, keep the Sabbath, care for the poor, pursue justice, and love your neighbor as yourself. But all of it flows from one foundational command: “You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.” But here’s the question: Is holiness just about avoiding what’s forbidden… or something more? It’s easy to see how the Torah sets boundaries through “thou shalt not.” But what about the things that are permitted? Could it be that holiness is found not only in what we avoid—but in what we choose to limit? Are we living disciplined lives… or just permissible ones? From the wisdom of the sages to the teachings of Yeshua and the words of Paul, this portion challenges us to rethink holiness—not as distance from the world, but as intentional restraint within it. So what does it look like to be set apart in a world where almost everything is allowed? And could it be that true holiness begins where our freedom ends?
