Phylacteries / Tefillin - In reading and studying, I understood what phylacteries or tephillin were and I had seen pictures or diagrams of them.
But I never saw them in use until we were on an El Al flight to Israel in 1999.
About sunrise, the religious Jewish men got up from their seats, put on these items and their tallits and went to certain areas of the plane to face towards Jerusalem and conduct their morning prayers.
It was like watching a performance on stage to see all the things they went through, step by step.
Where do these objects come from? Does Yahweh require them? What are they?

Happy New Year? Is this a day we should be observing? Does it coincide with the first day of the new year that Moses learned from Yahweh?
Covenants Covenants - There are discussions and disagreements that go on continually regarding covenants. We don't look on these in the same way the ancients did. Not with the same emphasis, but we seem to take them rather lightly.
The phrase is heard, "Oh, you can get out of a contract. Don't worry about it
Repentance and Baptism Repentance and Baptism - When people start attending church and seeking their Creator, one of the first things they wonder about is baptism.
It is a rite of most churches and expected of all members
Vows - What do They Mean? Vows - What do They Mean? - Questions have arisen as to what vows are and what they mean.
Today we rarely hear of them except in regards to weddings and to some religious orders.
They are not as commonplace as they once were. In trying to find a good definition, other words kept coming into play and a question remains
Relationships Relationships - Family relationships. Everyone has them. It may be our physical family, our work family, our neighborhood, or our church family.
In ways, they are the same, but each has unique situations. And in various ways, we have problems in those relationships from time to time
