For most of my Christian life, I believed Galatians “shut down” Sabbath observance. I used the same argument many Christians still use today: > “Paul said, ‘You observe days and months and seasons and years.’ > That means Sabbath is obsolete.” I quoted it confidently. I thought it was airtight. And then one day, I…

Assumptions don’t appear out of thin air. They are born somewhere—shaped by stories we didn’t choose, moments we didn’t understand, and interpretations we didn’t realize we were making.

The opening chapters of Ki Tissa move from sacred order to heartbreaking collapse. HaShem gives Moshe the final instructions for the Mishkan—incense, anointing oil, priestly service, the bronze laver, the census offering, and the reminder that Shabbat is the covenant sign. Everything is intentional. Everything is holy. Everything is about drawing near. Then the story…

Science and religion are often framed as if they’re locked in a tug‑of‑war, each pulling for control of truth. But that picture has never matched the way real people experience the world. Most of us live in a reality where curiosity and reverence sit side by side, where the beauty of a nebula and the…
