Va'era: I Appeared
/In this portion God is revealing Himself to the Israelites with a name they did not yet know Him by. It is a beautiful and revolutionary name. It will engage them, free them, and transform them. It is found in nearly 7000 places in the TNK, but in almost every translation the Name is hidden, obscured, and replaced with fundamentally different names and titles. God’s name is not Adonai nor the LORD! That is simply a lie! Join me as we look more closely at God’s name as found in the sacred text of the TNK.
