Jewish Heritage Revival - Torah Cross Reference - 613 Mitzvot Listed by Category: Nazarites

The challenge for believers in Yeshua today is knowing what instructions apply. Many have been taught that Torah is no longer valid for believers. What many fail to realize is that the New Covenant writings don't contradict Torah but affirms it. Messiah Himself provides us with proper instruction in how we are to live. The basis of His teaching is Torah. Below is a key that will help to understand what instructions are valid today, what can't be done, what applies to the Jewish people only, whether in the land or not. There are some instructions that are open for debate.

One can voluntarily follow the Nazarite vow. Keep in mind with no Temple, the sacrifices can not be followed.
