Description

ABOUT ME and THIS PODCAST: I am Avinoam ("Avi") ben Mordechai. I am an old veteran of the radio broadcast industry. For me, radio programming was very different when I started in the early 1970s as a California "rock jock" radio personality and later in the 1980s as a Colorado radio programmer and secular and religious content talk show host. I selectively do live on-air radio programming where I find opportunity, but ultimately, whatever I pursue with my years of radio broadcast training is not formal. I seek to serve Yehovah with the gifts and talents that He has given to me. Today, I am passionate about teaching the Bible in an understandable way to modern readers of ancient Scripture. The biblical studies I engage in through my teaching monologues and, in some cases, interviews with knowledgable academic researchers, are, at the very core, Hebraic studies, as I seek to connect the dots, so to speak, between the biblical Hebrew Bible and the Brit Hadasha (the New Covenant or "New Testament").I aim to help Yehovah's students better understand His Word. I try hard to provide the Almighty Eternal One's students with the tools necessary to become thinking and reasoning followers in the Messianic claims and teachings of Yeshua from the Second Temple period of Israel's Judaism. I strive to provide a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental, and advanced learning environment where students of biblical Scripture can learn, grow, and develop in their knowledge of the Word of Yeshua HaMashiach (the promised Messiah for Jews and non-Jews alike) through a personal relationship with Yehovah, the Almighty Eternal One of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Each posted podcast has a running time of 50 minutes divided into two 25-minute program segments. You may freely listen to and download them at your convenience. My strict policy is never to monetize them, meaning to turn them into opportunities for moneymaking or to accept advertisers. I do not ask any of my listeners to donate money to this program. If you are moved to give to this outreach ministry, this is between you and your great Father in Heaven. Go in spiritual and emotional health. Avinoam ben Mordechai

PALEO HEBREW PICTOGRAPHS, THEIR CONCEPTS and NOTIONS (PART 1)

Please, feel free to send a text message here and give us feedback. Also, you may send a text msg or leave voicemail (425) 550-6670. Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] On today’s program, Episode 184, this is Part 1 of a dialogue I had with Andre Roosma of the Netherlands, discussing the written language of Abraham, Moses, and David, often referred to as Paleo-Hebrew. We will be speaking about the pictographic roots and basic notions that underlie the earliest biblical script. Paleo-Hebrew developed from a script that was used in the West Semitic area, ranging from current Syria to Egypt to the Sinai desert, during the second millennium BCE. It is commonly referred to as Proto-Canaanite or Proto-Sinaitic. This script later developed into what we know as the block letters of the Hebrew used during the Babylonian Exile and beyond to our present day. Our program will begin with Andre's understanding of how he pronounces the Name יהוה and why.  In the second half of the program, we dig into the actual meanings of the Hebrew letter pictographs. Join me now for my discussion with Andre Roosma as we delve into the rich nuances of biblical texts based on their pictographic concepts.  Support the show

If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] On today’s show, Episode 183, this is Part 2 of a Hebrew Scripture discussion I had with Jeff Benner, founder of the online Ancient Hebrew Research Center, in 1999. Jeff Benner loves to help serious Bible readers break free from a surface-level understanding of scripture and the biblical narratives. His objective is to teach people to read the Bible through the lens of its original language, culture, and context, without requiring a full immersion in the Hebrew language. Simply learning a few basic concepts of how Hebrew is structured and how it works, Jeff is confident that you will quickly find yourself on a path to new discoveries in the Bible, uncovering concepts that you never knew were there. Join me now for my continued discussion with Jeff Benner, picking up where we left off in Part 1, as we delve further into the rich nuances of the biblical texts. Support the show

If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] On today’s show, Episode 181, this is the SECOND PART of a discussion that I had with Professional Mechanical Engineer Andrew Hoy about the biblical Hebrew Ohel Mo’ed – the tabernacle or the tent of Elohim (“God”) as described in the Bible in Exodus Chapters 26 and 27. As a professional mechanical engineer and the son of a professor of mechanical engineering, Andrew Hoy approached the subject of the tabernacle structure with exacting attention to detail, drawing on his knowledge of Hebrew, textual biblical evidence, and the mathematical constant referred to as 3.14, commonly known as “pi.” What Andrew discovered in the Exodus Hebrew texts challenged him to reconsider the traditional tabernacle model and to begin accepting the textual biblical evidence showing that the Israelite Tent or Tabernacle was a circular structure with a dome-shaped design. Join me for the second part of our discussion about what Andrew discovered about the biblical tabernacle and why the information is so vital to our Hebraic and Messianic Torah Walk of Faith.  Support the show

Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] On today’s show, episode 179, I’m speaking with David L. Jones, who grew up under the umbrella of the Southern Baptist Church in North Carolina, USA. I had a conversation with David about his spiritual journey, from his vocation as Pastor of an Independent Sunday-keeping Baptist Church to pastoring a Seventh-day Sabbath-keeping fellowship located in a high concentration area of the North Carolina Bible Belt. The area has a strong presence of Protestant evangelical and fundamentalist Christians who collectively maintain a strong influence on religious beliefs based on social and political life.  I’ll be speaking with David about his spiritual journey, leading both he and his wife into pursuing a lifestyle according to the Laws of the Mosaic Torah, especially that of observing the Seventh-Day Sabbath and keeping biblical festivals in harmony with the teachings of the Dead Sea Scrolls Zadokite Ecclesiastical Calendar and faithfully adhering to the Torah’s clean and unclean food laws. David and the Baptist Church he was pastoring stopped putting up Christmas Trees and partaking in whole-hog barbecues, the eating of pork shoulders, bacon, and a unique blend of seafoods such as oysters, clams, and shrimp. With all these changes, we’ll learn how they affected not only his immediate family but also how the biblical Torah amazingly touched and changed the lives of the congregation he was pastoring as an Independent North Carolina Baptist Church. Further, we’ll also learn about the Jones Family singers and their love for music in the genres of Southern Gospel and Bluegrass. Please, join me now for my interview with David L. Jones.  Support the show

When Does A Biblical Day Start (PART 4 - FINAL)

Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] On this episode, Number 178 and PART 4 of Real Israel Talk Radio, I will conclude this four-part series on WHEN A BIBLICAL DAY STARTS.  In the first half of this show, I will address eleven (11) different Hebrew Bible passages that are careful to speak about when a biblical day begins based on a summary of Genesis 1:2-5.   1.   Shachar is the early pre-morning mix referred to as dawn or daybreak, but traditionally translated into English as "there was EVENING... the first day." 2.   Boker – the rising of the sun disc and light of the morning3.   Erev – the late afternoon descent toward evening, leading to the setting of the sun4.   Lilah – the dark of the night In the second half of this show, I will tie my conclusions together with the gospel narratives, expressing the chronology of Yeshua's third-day resurrection.  Traditional Catholic and Christian interpretations of this narrative present the story as though Mary and the other women came to the tomb early on Sunday morning, which Roman chronology identifies as the first day of the week. However, this is not what the narrative is expressing.   Join me today for this final episode in this series of studies.  -Avinoam Support the show

If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] Today, on this Real Israel Talk Radio program, Episode 177 and PART 3, I will continue in this series,  When Does A Biblical Day Start? With the morning or with the previous evening?  According to my understanding of Genesis 1:2-5, it appears that a biblical day begins anew with each sunrise (and actually, slightly before this at "Shachar," based on the Hebrew text of Genesis 1:4-5. Here is a basic summary of what I have covered so far: a.   God called the LIGHT DAY, and the DARK, He called NIGHT.  b.   He came to be erev – a pre-morning mix [later to be called shachar] c.    Also, he came to be boker – the morning sunrise [Day] d.   He came to be One “DAY,” Yom Echad – that is, Pre-morning AND Morning. e.   Therefore, we are given a repeating formula for the Creation week – Day ‘X’, which is used for days 2 through 7.  Support the show

Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] On this episode of Real Israel Talk Radio, we will closely examine the Hebrew declarations of Genesis 1:2-5.  Genesis 1:2. The earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep Genesis 1:3. Then God said, "Let there be Light," and there was Light!" Genesis 1:4. And Elohim (God) saw the Light, that He was Good. And Elohim (God) divided the Light from the Dark.  Genesis 1:5. Elohim (God) called the Light DAY, and the DARK, He called NIGHT. So, erev (evening) and boker (morning) were the first day.   Many wonder when a biblical day begins: with the morning sunrise or with the previous evening sunset.  Understanding the Hebrew texts of Genesis 1:2-5 will help us to discover the Truth of the matter.  This is Episode 176 and PART 2 in this biblical study series.

When Does A Biblical Day Start (PART 1)

Please, feel free to send a text message here and give us feedback. Also, you may send a text msg or leave voicemail (425) 550-6670. Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] Today, we will examine the controversial question of “When does a Biblical day start?” This is PART 1.  Of course, whether a biblical day starts in the morning or with the previous evening, it has been a topic of great discussion, sometimes heated, for at least twenty centuries, and that is a long time!  From my research, I have found that both sides (pro and con) present compelling evidence supporting their respective positions. Given this, you might ask, “Why even bring up the dispute if both sides seem to make a valid case for their beliefs?” I have my reasons, which you will learn in this study series.  To begin, rather than argue about what this or that Bible verse says or does not say, I want to take a different approach to answer the all-important question, “When does a biblical day start?” Let’s begin with learning about the known positions from within cultural Jewish history, then continue with more historical information on biblical authority and prophecy. Today, we will start with a teaching article from the Jerusalem Post published in 2009, "From Sun to Moon," when they interviewed Hebrew University Professor Rachel Elior to learn from her years of research and scholarship in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Biblical Forgiveness: The Critical Missing Requirement that is Often Overlooked (PART 2)
2025/04/13
Please, feel free to send a text message here and give us feedback. Also, you may send a text msg or leave voicemail (425) 550-6670. Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] This IS Real Israel Talk Radio Episode 173. This is the SECOND PART of a program addressing biblical forgiveness. I asked my wife, Suzanne, to present this program as a continuation of PART 1 so she can speak personally and candidly about forgiving someone from her perspective. Suzanne’s story is one that I think you might like to hear because she understands the subject of forgiveness differently from what might be typically understood by those who read biblical passages such as Matthew 6:14-15, where Yeshua was quoted as saying:  For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. Today, in this second part episode about forgiveness, let’s examine the subject more closely and learn about a critical missing requirement that is often overlooked. Without this all-important element, the possibility of divine love and forgiveness cannot be activated. Let us learn more. Support the show

Festival of Unleavened Bread or the Festival of Matza: Biblical and Hebraic Insights into the Concepts of Leaven, Leavened, Unleavened, and to be Leavened
2025/03/28
Please, feel free to send a text message here and give us feedback. Also, you may send a text msg or leave voicemail (425) 550-6670. Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] Today, we will look into the biblical festival of Unleavened Bread as it is taught in Exodus 12:19-20. Specifically, we will learn that in the Bible and the New Testament, the English terms "LEAVEN" and "LEAVENED" are derived from two different Hebrew words conveying two distinct concepts. Oftentimes, it is taught that leaven is likened to SIN and PRIDE. But is it linked to these ideas?  Join us today to learn about the Biblical and Hebraic concepts of LEAVEN, LEAVENED, UNLEAVENED, and TO BE LEAVENED. This is episode 174 of Real Israel Talk Radio, beginning our 6th season!  VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: We failed to mention Exodus 13:7 from the Hebrew text: "And no leavened bread (chametz) shall be seen among you, nor shall leaven (se'or) be seen among you in all your quarters." If you would like to have a response to this matter that we did not address in this podcast, check out the show notes. It will be explained there.  Support the show

Biblical Forgiveness: What is this and what does it look like? (PART 1)
2025/03/18
Please, feel free to send a text message here and give us feedback. Also, you may send a text msg or leave voicemail (425) 550-6670. Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] With this Real Israel Talk Radio episode, I am turning the program over to my wife, Suzanne so that she can speak personally and candidly about biblical forgiveness. What does it mean to forgive? We all generally maintain various ideas about forgiveness and what it looks like or, perhaps, what it should look like. Suzanne’s story is one that I think you might like to hear because, as she understands forgiveness, it does not toe the line of a typical traditional understanding. Instead, as she presents the concept, the matter seems to address something entirely different than we might typically understand. Her story is built on a heart-wrenching personal experience that rings true as it is defined according to scripture. In Matthew 6:14-15, Yeshua was quoted as saying: For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. Let us examine these words more closely and see if there is something greater that we can learn from them. Real Israel Talk Radio Episode 172 Support the show

Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: [email protected] Before fulfilling his calling in a Latin American Spanish Language Messianic ministry, Yosef Sanchez was, for many years, taking his own journey into becoming a national table tennis champion to represent Mexico in professional table tennis. With his sights focused on becoming a respected top-ten world-class table tennis player, the Almighty, Eternal One of Israel, got ahold of his life and redirected his dream. Instead of going for the Olympic gold in Table Tennis, Yosef came to be a well-known and respected trainer for the paraplegic Christina Hoffman, who, in fact, did go on to become Mexico’s world-class table tennis national champion. But this is just the beginning of the story about Yosef Sanchez. Today, he leads a Spanish-language Messianic ministry in Cancun, Mexico. Indeed, his spiritual life’s journey is engaging, taking him from world-class Table Tennis to world-class biblical research and Spanish language Messianic leadership. This Real Israel Talk Radio program, Episode 171, is the story of the life and journey of Yosef Sanchez from Cancun, Mexico.  Support the show
