Great program, thanks for all you do!
Listened to all of Torah pearls, excited to hear the Prophet pearls! Thanks for bridging the gap to a better Hebrew understanding of our Father. :)
Spiritual Awesome Sauce
The original Torah pearls have been an invaluable asset to my spiritual growth as well as that of countless others. Now that Nehemia and Keith are covering the Prophet Preals in teh haftorahs, it is like completing a set. But Nehemia grciously goes above and beyond by reading the haftorah in Hebrew! What a boon! Now we can hear the Hebrew in his vibrant, animates, and colorful readings and in a natural conversational cadence so that our earc can become ever more acclimatized to complrehending Hebrew and this bringing us one step closer tobecoming fluent in Hebrew, thereby fulfilling Zephaniah 3:9. Thanks again so much for surrendering to Yehovah's will to use you to abundantly bless the world and prepare for the Great Ingathering of the Nations!
Pearls of Truth
