Beth Messiah's Weekly Message

This year's Torah Conference speaker, Michael Gabizon, presents The Covenants in Scripture: The Promises of G-d.  Michael Gabizon is currently a PhD candidate at McMaster University pursuing a degree in Religious Studies.  He is currently researching the status of offspring from intermarried couples in the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple Literature. In this session, we will cover the structure of the Abrahamic Covenant (Gen 12, 15, 17), its development in Scripture, and how it forms our understanding of G-d's promises to the Jewish people.  We will also touch on contemporary issues, such as the meaning of "The Seed of Abraham" in the New Testament.
