This week’s scripture reading is Leviticus 19:28. We encourage you to meditate on Leviticus 19:28, and ask Hashem for a greater understanding of “print”. Pay special attention to the word “print” H5414 נָתַן, naw-than, and its use. When examining this scripture and its use thereof, we see that its use is permanency in nature. Hermeneutically proof is given by examining the same word H5414 in its original use as seen in Genesis 1:17, “And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth". Next, it is shown in Genesis 9:12, “And G-d said, This is the token of the covenant which I make H5414 between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:”
So when examining both these scriptures in context to the word “print” as seen in Leviticus 19:28, we can clearly see how contextually consistent it is in reference to the modern world of tattoos. Now understanding this, one can see it is not merely an act of artistic self-expression, but rather an act of open rebellion as it defiles the temple of the Living G-d.
So we pray you found this edifying and it encourages you as you walk out the faith in love, shalom.

28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord

This recipe will give your arm a good, workout by having to stir so long. However, it will be worth it. It is an old family favorite. My mom made it every holiday for us. Through the years my mom would even mail it to me overseas. It holds up really well to temperature differences. When she would make it, she would pour it out onto a counter covered in cinnamon. Then roll out sections of it into logs. I found that I do not have the time nor, the speed, nor the heat tolerance in my hands to do this. This is why I pour it into a pan and then cut it. A word of caution, if you cook it too long at low or medium low, you could end up with it being a bit like caramel instead of crumbly. This altogether is not a bad thing. I mean, anything sweet is great when you are hankering for something sugary. That being said, this should almost dissolve in your mouth. It is super rich and darn right, irresistible.
Ingredients
2 cups karo (white corn) syrup
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp or more cinnamon
Directions
1. Line a large 13 x 9 pan or a large jelly roll pan.
2. Sprinkle cinnamon on the lining.
3. Cook sugar, evaporated milk, and syrup in a saucepan over medium high heat.
4. Stir constantly, while cooking until a hard ball stage of 245-248°.
5. Add the butter and cream of tarter.
6. Stir it in completely and then remove from the heat.
7. Carefully, use a spatula to pour into your prepare pan. This is extremely hot and can blister you, if you get it on you.
8. Let it cool for just long enough for it to hold its shape.
9. Then turn the pan over onto a counter or cutting board sprinkled with cinnamon.
10. Cut into approximately 1 inch squares. Depending on how much it has cooled down, it could start to become difficult to cut and even a become a bit crumbly.
11. Continue to let it set until cool enough to eat.
