Gary’s Torah portion is Ha’azinu and he has studied for a while to memorize the first aliyot in hebrew. The Bar Mitzvah is a large accomplishment in the life of a follower of Messiah Yeshua. Bar Mitzvah means “Son of the Commandments” and is a formal dedication and declaration to following the ways of our Messiah, which involves dedicated study in the word of God. Jesus has instructed us to keep the commandments to abide in his love and Gary has made a formal announcement by leading the worship services that this is to be the path for his life.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
