Returning to the Culture of Yahshar’el: Reclaiming Our Divine Way of Life

Author: Hebrew Boy

Culture is more than clothing, food, music, or language. At its core, culture is the way of life of a people. It includes their values, customs, calendar, family structure, government, worship, and relationship with the Creator. For the children of Yahshar’el, our culture is not manmade. It is divine. It is a heavenly inheritance passed down from Yahuah through the covenant He made with our fathers, Abraham, Yitschaq, and Ya’aqob.

The culture of ancient Yahshar’el was established by Yahuah Himself. It was rooted in the Torah, the instruction given to Mosheh on Mount Sinai. This divine instruction was not just a religious code but a full blueprint for how the nation was to live in every area of life. It governed how we dressed, how we celebrated, how we raised our children, how we handled justice, how we conducted business, and how we worshipped. It taught us to be set-apart from the nations, to live in righteousness and to walk in unity under the reign of Yahuah.

This culture did not originate in Egypt, Canaan, or Babylon. It was not borrowed from the Gentiles. It came directly from the Most High. It was a gift to a chosen people to reflect His light to the nations. As it is written, “And now, Yisra’el, what is Yahuah your Elohim asking of you, but to fear YAHUAH your Elohim, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, and to serve Yahuah your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being, to guard the Commands of Yahuah and His Laws which I command you today for your good?” (Debarim 10:12–13).

For generations, we kept the Sabbath. We honored the feast days. We wore tzitzit to remember the commandments. We ate clean according to Leviticus 11. We did not mix seeds, fabrics, or bloodlines. We built our homes on the foundation of covenant marriage. We operated under tribal structure with elders, judges, and prophets. We sought the voice of Yahuah through His Torah, His prophets, and the Ruach ha’Qodesh.

But through captivity, colonization, and forced assimilation, our culture was stripped away. Our language was changed. Our names were replaced. Our feast days were forbidden. Our garments were removed. Our land was stolen. And our worship was rebranded into religion. We were scattered and broken, made to believe we were something other than who we are.

Now, in these last days, the awakening is happening. The remnant is rising. The dry bones are rattling. Yahuah is stirring His people and calling us to return to our identity and our culture. But how do we tap into it today?

It begins with repentance. We must first turn back to Yahuah with our whole hearts and renounce the ways of the nations. That includes leaving behind pagan traditions, religious confusion, and lawlessness. Next, we must return to the covenant. This means learning and obeying the Torah, walking in the footsteps of Yahusha, and keeping the commandments with joy.

Tapping into our culture today means honoring the Sabbath each week and keeping the feast days listed in Leviticus 23. It means putting away unclean foods and choosing a clean lifestyle. It means wearing tzitzit as a reminder of who we are. It means teaching our children diligently, praying in our homes, and restoring the family unit according to YAH’s design. It means using the true names of our Elohim, Yahuah and Yahusha and studying Scripture through a Hebraic lens, not a Greco-Roman one.

It also means reconnecting with the land. Even while in captivity, we face the East and pray toward Yerushalayim. We study the agricultural calendar. We restore the original understanding of time according to the sun, moon, and stars. We live in expectancy of the return to our inheritance.

This culture is not just about traditions. It is about transformation. It is about returning to the divine order Yahuah established from the beginning. When we embrace the culture of Yahshar’el, we are not just reclaiming lost practices, we are returning to our purpose.

In a world that pushes conformity, we must boldly choose covenant. In a world that celebrates rebellion, we must walk in obedience. Our culture is not just history. It is prophecy. It is destiny. And it is being restored right before our eyes.

This is the way. Walk in it.
