Unleavened!

 


Draw me after you, let us run!
The king has brought me into his chambers.

(Chorus: Daughters of Zion)

Let us rejoice and be glad in you;
    let us extol your love more than wine.
Rightly do they love you!

Song of Songs 1:4, Let us sing it together!


Dear Friends,

 Happy to see you again, and to return after another unplanned blog break, this time with a new and `unleavened` header!! I hope you are all well.

The holiday of Pesach, or Passover, is approaching.   It`s time to change the header of my blog from leavened to un-leavened bread!  

Praise the L-RD we have entered into His first month of Springtime, the first month on His Biblical Calendar.  In the bible whenever you see a verse that references the first month, if it is after the Exodus from Egypt, it is referring to this very month we are in now!!

We give thanks as we enter into the month of AVIV, also known as the month of Springtime, also known as Nisan.  It is the month of Redemption,  Renewal, of Passover, of Freedom!!  

Chodesh Tov! We pray a time of new beginnings for you and your family and for all that G-d is calling you to!!

This month will mark the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year for you.

Exodus 12:2

More to follow ~~ I hope to get back to posting again in this favorite season here at Challah and Cherry Blossoms, as the Cherry blossoms have just started to open announcing the glory of  G-d and the expectation for new life in Yeshua as we align in His first month of Springtime and prepare our hearts...and homes... for the coming Passover!

Therefore let us celebrate the feast not with old hametz, the hametz of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread—the matzah of sincerity and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:8

Blessings and Love,

Shayndel

Note about the pictue, for the record:  I just received a delivery of matzah!! I am rejoicing because on my calendar I have marked `order Matzah` on tomorrow`s plan, and already I have received it!! Praise God, and may He always go ahead of us!  May His shalom and AHAVA Love be multiplied to you!

  1. Awsome header! Yes, Pesach is approaching, and with it the matza. I would have never believed it that 'matza' will become a favorite of mine during the whole year! It just happened, unexpectedly. I've discovered a way to slightly wet it, and make it easy for me to eat it.

    1. Thank you Duta. DId you know that the unleavened grain is also `soaked` in one of the offerings, the grain offering in Lev. 6:14, When I read it in this week`s Torah portion I thought of you. May we bring our offering of thanks and praises to the LORD when we have the Passover this year.

      I hope and pray there will be Shalom and unity in Israel and all will turn to the God of Israel as it says in this weeks Haftarah in Malachi, surely He is calling us to return to Him! Blessings and Happy Passover Preparations. ❤️ This is the verse in Vayikra,

      It is to be made with oil on a pan. When it is soaked, you should bring it in. You are to present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to HaShem.

  2. welcome back and Happy Nisan to you Shayndel. It isn't quite as warm here as normally but the blossoms are starting to come out. It has been alternately rainy/cold and sunny but the next few days will bring more sunshine. I hope it hastens the blossoms. Enjoy.

  3. For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over, it is gone:
    The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing is come, Song of Songs 2: 11,12.
    Grace be with you!
