Please
Note: On this
page I will be showing, and we always use the most blessed four letter *“Memorial Name” of our beloved
Creator in Ivrit -
-
Y-H-V-H, blessed be His Sanctified Name,
which we usually pronounce as “Adonai” or “HaShem”
prior the destruction of the Second Temple.
In addition throughout the site I will use a
version based on the “Jewish Publication Society” (JPS)

But Please Note:
Some verse numbers may vary in some version’s of non Jewish Bibles.

A Special Message by Shmuel Elisha:
I wish to advise that Rabbi Dr. Reuven Ben-Avraham besides now being on the rather old side, but worse still he is now critically ill, and completely disabled, Yet he remains very strong in his Faith. But what he misses most is attending the Synagogue which he has now not attended for many years as he would have to come by ambulance and remain in a bed. Thus that is out of the question. Thus sadly he will have to retire writing soon, but Elohim blessed be He, seems to give him strength enough to do still some work, as he has some unfinished studies to complete studies which he says, he needs to complete. Please My loving Abba; please allow him to finish them.
First of all Rabbi Dr.
Reuven Ben-Avraham commenced this site since the 1980’s
and it became so clear to him as well as a good number of other well-known
Rabbis, including a greatly loved and highly honoured Rabbi, who spent time
with Rabbi Reuven and enjoyed his remarkable Studies so much, as did their Shul
members. Rabbi Reuven left quite a number of his studies with them as was
always a giver in live and never needed credit and they were permitted to be
freely use them as desired, considering they were all based on the blessed and
the loving Word of Elohim, thus (as he always said)
they are all His Word!
Rabbi Dr. Reuven
Ben-Avraham speaking with a Jewish man in
I do ask you to Please
Pray for Rabbi Dr. Reuven, for he has given his life serving our
Heavenly Father, blessed be His Sanctified Name! As I stated He is unable to
leave his home, only per ambulance and then to a hospital, etc, but he misses
some Yiddisher company, but sadly he is unable to remember very much these
days. Amazingly when he sits at his laptop he seems to manage to write the most
amazing studies, as they have fallen from the 
– “Shamayim”, thus from
the Almighty, Praise Him, whenever he seems to write. There is no doubt that
during the day and night he has lost his memory, but when he is doing His work,
it has be our loving Father who gives him the wisdom and strength to do so, for
in reality in these days he is no longer capable to do anything.
Pour your love on him Father Elohim 
.
Shmuel
Elisha.
Welcome to Hebraic Studies and the aim of this site is to encourage fellow Jews, especially young Jews, and possibly those that may have fallen away from their attendance to the Synagogue and prayers, etc, to grow back into our wonderful faith. I believe that one of the very first priorities is for you to once again light the Sabbath Candles on the eve of the Shabbat in your home, for it will bring that something very special into our home, and if you have a family it will set a wonderful example to your children. By doing this mitzvah, they will know that we are Jewish and that the Sabbath is not just any day, but a very special day that has been set apart by our loving Elohim, the Elohim of Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’akov (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob).
Please Note: Continue to read this page and then use the Main INDEX Bar located at the bottom of the page, where you will now find many studies, including the “How Too Guides”, “Torah & Tanakh Studies”, Parashah and many other Haftarah Studies, you will find located on the Main Index located at the bottom of this page! Some more unfinished studies will be added as our beloved rabbi is able.
Also Online: At the bottom you will discover an Index Page that shows you all our weekly Parshas, and one that contains our current Calendar that has current dates as well as the dates for the Yom Tovim for 2023 to 2024. This is because I have added pages that show both a regular and Hebrew calendars together on the same page side by side with all details clearly shown weekly and with the Yom Tovim clearly marked. It of course also offers a full and simple listing of the Yom Tovim with details of the readings for each day of the Yom Tov, etc.
The Parashah and Yom Tov page mentioned above may NOT be Suitable for Mobile Phones & Tablets and I pray in His blessed Name that you would not even think of using them on Shabbat! Beloved, I highly suggest that you read the site using a good viewing laptop or computer, etc, for we must also look after our eyesight!
Three Points of Understanding the Tanakh:
and the Nevi’im being His’ chosen
prophets.
When we read and study His blessed teachings, as Jews I know what we will find below will provide a valuable guide which will provide us with guidance and will illuminate the sheer beauty and the fullness of what our blessed Creator is actually telling us. Therefore what we need to grasp and understand are the following three very important questions:
1. Who was the Almighty, blessed be He, speaking to?
2. Also, when was it said?
3. Most importantly, HOW was His Word understood at the time it was spoken/given?
I firmly believe that these three points are extremely relevant for our understanding of …
1. What the Almighty was saying at the time …
2. As well as what it means to us today – and …
3. Especially how it affects you and me today.
About the Author
Rabbi Dr. Reuven Ben-Avraham
By Shmuel Elisha
This is a page that will give an understanding of the times of the life in short of Rabbi Dr. Reuven to this day, which was a very busy life sharing his life and teachings with the world, except in the land where he lived. This was for a certain reasons for his Orthodox Shul he was not excepted as a Jew in the 1960’s and was humiliated although he already had his Barmitzvah in 1958, yet he was forced to convert, to marry his Yiddisher beloved Bride. And then when he returned from his travels, the Kabbalah occultist based Chabad sect had taken over his shul. But there is so much more!
Enter HERE or on the MAIN INDEX Page at the Bottom:
And always remember the
following blessed truth as found in Yeshayahu
- Isaiah chapter 40, verse 8. (JPS version of the
Tanakh).
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the Word of our Elohim shall stand forever” Yeshayahu - Isaiah 40:8 (JPS version of the Tanakh).
Take my word for it, not if the rabbis fiddle
around with it for they will manage to write countless rubbish books regarding
just one sentence, which makes no sense. And find anywhere in our beloved Torah
/ Tanakh where we as men have to tie a string or a tight belt around our
waists, so that our heart cannot see what hangs bellow. That is an utter
disgrace, and force the ladies to wear wigs.
One of the main reasons for this site is,
there are those who will have let their faith slip, and are seeking guidance,
and that is just what this site is all about, to see those who are seeking to
rediscover the faith of our Fathers and return to their Jewish faith. I am not
asking you to become a Chassid, believe me that is certainly not required, but
be full in your “Hebrew Faith” and have a desire to keep Torah,
Shabbat and the Yom Tovim (the Feats) is everything and you will learn very
quickly how it will enhance your lives massively! Tragically our lives have
become very much more difficult, for the Torah’s 613
“Mitzvot” can be kept, but those which are called the “Oral
Law” were all added by man, Rabbis, post the destruction of the
On the “Site Index” (located at the bottom of this page) you will discover that there are a number of special “How to” guides available, these are to assist you in fulfilling the following Mitzvahs, such as; “Lighting the Sabbath Candles”, “Daily Prayers” and it contains all the main Berakah’s - (blessings) for just about everything we need in our daily lives, in Ivrit - Hebrew, transliterated and in English of course as well as the “Sabbath Kiddush” and so much more, There is also a guide on “How to lay Tefillin”.
Tefillin:
These are written in a way that the content is easily understood and to follow even if you have never done this before, regardless if you have been to Cheder (Jewish religious school) or not. As you grow, I encourage all men over the age of 13 years of age to think about to lay Tefillin, which is such a wonderful and a blessed Mitzvah.
My Travels and teachings in
he UK Europe
Also listed on the Index are a vast range of
studies I have shared over the years, as well as a number of Parashah Studies
(Shiurim) around the world and countless Orthodox Synagogues. The vast majority
of these studies have been written by myself and some partly with the
assistance by a world famous Rabbi and a Dear friend, (may he rest in Peace),
and many others throughout
May the articles and studies on “Hebraic Studies” encourage us all to be better Jews who will turn to the Torah, and not be swayed by the modern humanistic lifestyles of these days and sadly what has become the loose ways of mankind!
Recite the - “Schema
I especially encourage everyone to say the
“Shema Yisroel” - “Hear O Israel” (Davarim -
Deuteronomy 6:4) at least twice a day and also before bed time. Why not say it
right now, as below it is available in Ivrit (Hebrew) Transliteration, and in
English. I love it to be said in Hebrew. Even if you use the transliterated or
English version of the “Shema”, but remember our beloved Elohim, 
- blessed
be He, understands and appreciates whatever language you use, as long as you
say it with love and with all your heart and soul! But do try and use the
Hebrew, which is simply laid out for you. Omein!
Verse 1 -
“She’ma Yis’roel (
- HaShem)
Elo’Hey’nu, ( - HaShem) ECHAD”.
Verse 2 -
“Ba’ruch Shem
Ka’vod
Mal’chu’to
Le’olam Va’ed
Mal’chu’to
Le’olam Va’ed”.
“Blessed be His Name, whose glorious
kingdom is forever and ever.
For interest: The second verse of the Shema Yisroel, although
sounding nice, but it is not Torah based. But it was added by the rabbis and it is not actually required,
however feel free to use both verses. Unlike
the Shema itself, “Baruch Shem” was a
liturgical response used in the Elohim, blessed be His
Sanctified His Name, was pronounced. Yes before the
“Thus you shall say to the Children of
Israel: Elohim of your
fathers, the Elohim of Avraham, the Elohim of Yitzchak, and the Elohim of
Ya’akov, has sent me to you. This is My Name
forever, and this is My Memorial to all generations’”
Shemot - Exodus 3:15 (“Jewish Publication
Society” (JPS) version of the Torah).
Please
say the “Shema” in
the morning, and then continue to read Davarim - Deuteronomy chapter 6 verses 5
to 9.
However, I would suggest that you would
say the beautiful “Shema Yisroel” once more during day, and beloved
it would be such a wonderful blessing if you could say once more prior to your
preparation for bed time!
Please read the Study “Ha Shem” the link is at the bottom of the page.
And always remember the following blessed
truth as found in Yeshayahu -
Isaiah chapter 40, verse 8. (JPS version of the Tanakh).
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth;
but the Word of our Elohim shall
stand FOREVER” Yeshayahu - Isaiah 40:8 (JPS version of the Tanakh).
I believe the above contains a great truth, for we should remember that we have been commanded by Elohim, blessed be He, not to ever change or add to His Sanctified Word, for doing so is a great sin! But the rabbis in the past, and I say this with great sadness, did just that! Did our loving Elohim, blessed be He, not say to Moshe Rabbeinu;
“Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it”? Davarim - Deuteronomy 12:32.
Sadly our beautiful faith has been altered from our original faith that we were given, all because men seem to think they were wiser that our Creator, and during the days of the Kabbalah, an occultist group, who wrote countless books, which they then claimed was the Oral Law, but there was never no such a thing it 100% man made, with the help of the Kabbalah rabbi’s who really commenced in 1 – 2 CE who were more interested in the Occult! And the thanks to the ultra infected Chassid’s, for they all pray to the dead, and why do we invite the dead into our Sukkah??? It is against Elohim commands! I have never done that! Praying to the dead, etc is called necromancy, and if you do not knoe what our creator has said about this simply means you better start reading the Tanakh or email Me!
“And thou shalt love thy Elohim with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy might. And these
words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart; and thou shalt
teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou
sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest
down, and when thou risest up.” Davarim - Deuteronomy 6:5-8. (JPS version of the Torah).
May the 
Shalom of Elohim,
- blessed
be His Sanctified Name, fill you with
His Love, and also your family and your home!
Is the word “Elohim” a name? No it is not, for it is both a word, and also an “Attribute” of who our beloved
heavenly Father is! Also covered in this study is the four letter Sanctified *“Memorial Name - (Y-H-V-H) the Tetragrammaton. Please, always use the blessed Name with all
holiness and when ever you even see the Name or hear it, please say; – Blessed Be His Sanctified Name!

Although I have
been with Seanic.net, my hosting server for countless years recently they suddenly
transferred my account
to another server owned by them
without giving me any notification and only advised me after the event.
Even though I have tried to update whatever they told me, but it proved to be
useless, especially in my current health situation. Even my computer expert
said their details simply made no sense and neither they nor another company I
had sought out previously was unable. Thus sadly you will have to copy and paste the email address above into the address box
for your email to me, will certainly reach me and it will.
