WATCH: Can You Truly Forgive Someone Who Hurt You? - Part 2

https://youtu.be/_dmGnHA2DMc

What if mercy means more than forgiving someone who hurt you?

In Part 2 of our study through the 13 Attributes of Mercy from Tomer Devorah, we explore the final six attributes—and discover that biblical mercy reaches far deeper than simply overlooking an offense.

What does it mean to suppress another person’s sin instead of publicizing it? Can we truly forgive someone if we still feel compelled to tell others what they did? What happens when someone who harmed us finally suffers the consequences of their actions? And how should we treat people who have fallen short when they are still descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

Drawing from Micah 7, the teachings of Yeshua, Zacchaeus, Cornelius, the prodigal son, and the cherubim over the mercy seat, this teaching challenges us to see people beyond their worst moments.

Perhaps the deepest level of mercy is learning to look at someone again—not as the person they became, but as the innocent child they once were.

Can we show mercy to others before we learn to show it to ourselves?

Watch Part 2 of “The 13 Attributes of Mercy” and discover how Hashem calls us to forgive, restore, protect dignity, and remember the good.

What if repentance is not merely about confessing what you have done—but becoming more like Hashem?

During Elul, we examine our lives, recite additional prayers, sound the shofar, and prepare our hearts for the High Holidays. But it is possible to perform every act of repentance and still miss the heart of teshuvah: returning to the image of the One who created us.

After Israel’s sin with the golden calf, Moses pleaded for Hashem to reveal His ways. Instead of responding with abandonment and wrath, Hashem revealed His Thirteen Attributes of Mercy. What do these attributes teach us about enduring offense, releasing anger, repairing damage, recognizing the good in others, and restoring those who genuinely repent?

WATCH: Have You Given Up Too Soon? | The Waiting Game
https://youtu.be/iYZ9kIIqTIs

What happens when God’s promise takes so long that we begin rewriting the promise?

For generations, the followers of Yeshua have prayed for the coming Messianic Kingdom. Yet after nearly two thousand years of waiting, many believers have traded the biblical hope of Messiah reigning from Jerusalem for something safer, less tangible, and entirely metaphorical.

But was the promise misunderstood—or have we simply grown tired of waiting?

The same danger confronts us personally. When progress seems invisible and the payoff never arrives, hope can slowly become disappointment, doubt, and finally resignation. Have you abandoned something Hashem actually promised? Have you mistaken a delay for a denial? Or could you be overlooking the progress already unfolding around you?

WATCH: Why Chasing Happiness Makes You Miserable | A Biblical Perspective
https://youtu.be/ndYm8MdLRiM

What if the biggest obstacle to your spiritual growth isn't the people around you... but you?

"It’s all about me" sounds like the anthem of narcissism. But what if those words reveal a deeper biblical truth? Drawing from the surprising wisdom of Ben Zoma, Hillel, Proverbs, the teachings of Yeshua, and the season of teshuvah, this message challenges one of the most common assumptions we make about life: that happiness comes from pursuing our own desires.

Why do we sabotage the very lives we're trying to improve? What does it actually mean to love your neighbor as yourself? Is self-love accepting everything about ourselves—or becoming the person God created us to be?

WATCH: Choose Compassion in a Hurting World | Baseless Love | Shalom Macon
https://youtu.be/wFQpDO781as

What if the greatest threat to God's people isn't persecution from the outside—but hatred from within?

During the Three Weeks, the Jewish people remember the destruction of the Temple, a tragedy the sages connect to baseless hatred. But if hatred can destroy a people, what might baseless love be capable of building?

In one of his most personal messages ever, Rabbi Damian shares the heartbreaking story of his nephew Gabriel's life-changing accident and reflects on faith, unanswered prayer, compassion, and the hope of the coming Kingdom. Through the tears, he points us to Yeshua—the One who saw suffering, wept with the broken, and never stopped bringing healing and hope.

How do we trust God when tragedy strikes? What does genuine compassion actually look like? And how can followers of Messiah become people who don't simply say, "I'll pray for you," but truly enter into the pain of others?

This message is a heartfelt challenge to reject the poison of baseless hatred and embrace the transforming power of baseless love.

WATCH: Peace Is Broken in Torah—And So Are We | What the Vav Teaches Us.
https://youtu.be/9iEo9t5T824

What happens when God rewards an act of violence with a covenant of peace? There is a dangerous side of religious zeal.


The Torah Portion Pinchas confronts us with one of the most unsettling moments in the Torah. Pinchas takes up a spear, ends a plague, and receives God's blessing. But why does the Torah write the word shalom with a broken vav? Is that tiny detail revealing something profound about justice, zeal, and the heart of God?

In this teaching, Rabbi Damian Eisner explores the fascinating tension between righteous zeal and the calling to become peacemakers. Along the way, we'll discover why the sages placed strict limits around the actions of Pinchas, how Elijah learned that God is found not in the fire but in the still, small voice, why Moses' greatest prayer was for a shepherd with the heart to carry every soul, and how Yeshua perfectly embodies both zeal and compassion.

Could our greatest spiritual danger be confusing our own certainty with God's authority? What if true holiness is measured not by how quickly we reach for the spear, but by how faithfully we pursue peace?

Join us as we uncover the broken vav, the covenant of peace, and what it means to be truly zealous for the Kingdom of God... in this week's Shalom Macon teaching.
