No doubt many &#8211; particularly young and college-aged people &#8211; are considering a &#8216;turn&#8217; toward the teachings of Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, Mark suggests, the popular reaction of just &#8220;go back to church,&#8221; is but a pitiful small step in what might be the right direction. After all, many LEFT &#8216;the church&#8217; because of it&#8217;s demonstrated, Scripturally-condemned, failure to &#8220;teach my people the difference,&#8221; between the holy and profane, clean and unclean. Simply returning to what already failed, and got us here, is not a real solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, Deuteronomy 30 gives us both a clear razor for Truth, and a bold promise of why we MUST turn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warning: Some will be offended. YHVH certainly made the reason for His anger, and our continued exile, abundantly clear. But so is the Promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nitzavim: BOTH The Blessing AND the Curse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WT-CooH-9-20-25-Nitzavim-BOTH-the-Blessing-and-the-Curse-RE-turn-podcast-xxx.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The combined two-part reading and Sabbath <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/mark-call-torah-teaching-for-parsha-nitzavim\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/mark-call-torah-teaching-for-parsha-nitzavim\/\" target=\"_blank\">midrash<\/a><\/strong>, via Hebrew Nation Radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa&#8217;s 2025 Torah-cycle teachings for parsha &#8220;Nitzavim&#8221; (Deuteronomy 29:9 through chapter 30) and related. <a href=\"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/?p=2885\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[19,5,3,24,69,4,35,1898,11,1865,12],"tags":[2178,46,2181,26,28,88,281,2180,63,2179,1096,104,208,212,318,101],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2885"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2885"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2886,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2885\/revisions\/2886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
