Before Torah Reading

Matthew 5:17­-20

Do not think that I came to dismiss the Torah or the Prophets. I have not come to dismiss, but to carry out. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one smallest letter or one stroke shall pass away from the Torah, until everything happens. Therefore, anyone who dismisses one of these small mitzvoth (Commandments), and thus teach the sons of men to do so, will be called little in the Kingdom of Heaven; but those who do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

When Removing Torah From Ark

When the Ark set out, Mosha would say: Arise, O AdonYah, and Your adversaries will be scattered, and Your enemies will flee before You. For from Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the Word of Adon­Yah from Jerusalem. Blessed is He who in His holiness gave Torah to His people Israel.

The Torah which Moshe commanded us is the heritage of congregation of Ya’aqub. (Kiss the Torah)

The Book of Matthew

Ch 17

1 And after six days Yeshua led Keipha and Ya’aqub, and Yokhanan his brother, taking them
alone up to a high mountain.
2 And Yeshua was transformed before them and his face was bright like the sun; and his clothing became white like the light.
3 And Mosha and Eliyahu appeared to them, speaking with him.
4 Then Keipha answered saying to Yeshua: “Mari, it is good for us that we are here, and if you desire, let us construct here three shelters; one for you, and one for Mosha, and one for Eliyahu.”
5 And while he was speaking, behold! A bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud saying: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am pleased; listen to him.
6 And when the talmidim heard this, they fell on their faces and were very afraid.
7 And Yeshua approached them and touched them, and said: “Arise, and do not be afraid.” 8 And they lifted up their eyes, and they did not see anyone, except Yeshua alone.
9 While they were descending from the mountain, Yeshua commanded them, and said to them:

The Book of Presence

On Converts

If a man desires to enter into the community as a follower of Mshikha, let him first be examined as to his faith, and if found worthy of the Holy Bread, let him be baptised in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Ruach ha’Kodesh, according to the tradition you have been taught by Adonai Yahushuah. But take care that he is not an enemy in the skins of a sheep, walking within the congregation and devouring everyone he encounters.

The Book of Psalms

Ch 72-76

Give the king thy judgements, O God, and thy righteousness to the king’s son,
2 ¶ That he may judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with justice. 3 The mountains shall bring peace to thy people, and the hills thy righteousness. 4 He shall judge the poor of the people; he shall save the children of the needy; and he shall crush the oppressor. 5 They shall revere thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth. 7 In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures. 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. 9 They that dwell on the islands shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. 10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands shall bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 11 Yea, all kings shall worship him, all nations shall serve him; 12 For he shall deliver the needy from the mighty, the poor also, who has no helper. 13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. 14 He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence; precious shall their blood be in his sight. 15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; prayer also shall be made to him continually, and daily shall he be praised. 16 He shall multiply like wheat upon the earth; his seed shall spring up on the mountain tops, as on Lebanon; and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. 17 His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun; and men shall be blessed in him; all nations shall call him blessed.
18 ¶ Blessed be Mar-Yah God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. 19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen. 20

After Torah Reading

Psalm 119:1­8

Happy are they who are upright in the way, who walk in the Torah of Adon­Yah. Happy are they who keep His testimonies, that seek Him with the whole heart. They do no unrighteousness; they walk in His way. You have ordained Your precepts, that we should observe them diligently. Oh that my ways were directed to observe Your statutes! Then I would not be ashamed, when I have given diligence unto all Your mitzvoth. I will give thanks unto You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous ordinances. I will observe Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.

Lord Yeshua, you who were brought forth by the very hand of God the Father, made known to the Blessed Mother Maryam, by the message of the angel Gabriel — I praise you, I thank you and I honour you with all my heart. It was you who said, ‘I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst.’ Grant unto the presence of the Spirit of holiness as you promised to your disciples, so that I may understand the Word of God and the Will of the Father for me. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Forehead:”May I have the mind of Mshikha”, Mouth:”May I speak pure words of Torah”, Heart:”and may my heart be sealed”, Right shoulder: “in the blood of the Lamb”& Left shoulder :” Amen. ” God is One.

Or

Forehead:”Mshikha in my mind.”, Mouth:”Torah in my mouth.”, Heart:”The blood of the Lamb in my heart.”, Right shoulder:”In Yeshua’s Name.” & Left Shoulder:”Amen.”In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. God is One.

May Mar Yah Bless You and Keep You.
