B.E.S.T. Shabbat

​ "The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you,  and you shall humble your souls   and present an offering by fire to the LORD. " You shall not do any work on this same day , for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before the LORD your God. " If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day , he shall be cut off from his people. " As for any person who does any work on this same day , that person I will destroy from among his people. " You shall do no work at all .

Jephthah was raised up as a Judge in Israel to deliver Israel from the Ammonites, whose name means the mob.   The mob employs the power of bullying  and rejection.   It was the mob that  screamed “crucify ...
