How to Avoid SHATTERED Aviv Barley Firstfruits!
Shalom. ‘How to Avoid Shattered Aviv Barley Firstfruits’ compares the Torah Model of the Firstfruits (symbolic of Yeshua our Firstfruits) and the Talmud Model of manicured “harvest-ready” fruits. We will see how the Talmud Model requires violating or redefining Deuteronomy 16:9, requires being in two places at once, uses the Equinox/Equilox, and creates non-Scriptural requirements for the wave sheaf.
“WHY is it this way each year?” WHY do we have “barley wars” each and every year?
B’reisheet (Genesis) 25:22-23
22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of Yahweh.
23 And Yahweh said to her: “Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.”
Two Main Barley Camps in Israel:
1. TORAH MODEL: True Firstfruits (Symbolic of Yeshua our Firstfruits).
2. TALMUD MODEL:
- Manicured “Harvest” fruits.
- Requires breaking/redefining Deuteronomy 16:9.
- Must be in two places at once.
- Uses the Equinox/Equilux.
- Preference for manicured fields & perfect wave sheaves.
The Talmudic Spirit 1:
If you follow the Talmudic Model, you will look for the perfect field and perfect wave sheaf, but unless you break Deuteronomy 16:9, you will still end up with your firstfruits on the ground. (Lean to Equinox/Equilux.)
The Talmudic Spirit 2:
If you follow the Talmudic Model, you will want to REJECT hillside barley, even though Israel first occupied the hills when our forefathers entered the land.
Shofetim (Judges) 1:19
19 So Yahweh was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron.Why didn’t you go to Tel Gamma?
…At different sides of the mount, and at different altitudes, and in different peaks and valleys, you find barley in an extreme ranges of development. I think it would be nearly impossible to go there and say the barley there is at a particular stage, because there are too many variables…
[11-12 March 2021, DDT]
When Does the Biblical Year Begin (Gordon):
“In other words, the beginning of the Biblical Year isn’t determined by a particular type of barley field, in a particular region, reaching a particular state of development, by a particular date. Rather the Torah states that the beginning of the year is determined by the sun (Gen 1:14).”
(So why do you collect money to go inspect the barley?)
Mattityahu (Matthew) 16:11-12
11 “How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees [Talmud].
Prayer Request:
Please pray that Yahweh will use this video and this attempt at communication to bring Spirit, order and logic to our movement, and truth and healing both to the Messianics (including Becca and Brian Convery), and to the Karaites (including Devorah and Yoel).
Presentation Plan:
1. Brief Scripture review.
2. Why NI now disregards the “Heat Island Effect.”
3. Joseph Dumond’s re-inspection of 15 March 2026, finding shattered barley OUTSIDE of any Heat Island.
4. Becca Biderman’s search of 16 March finding aviv barley that will shatter before her Wave Sheaf day). Adding.
Wild vs. Domestic Controversy:
1. Domestic: Most Talmudists prefer domestic fields for various reasons (Egypt was “destroyed”, and it looks nicer.) (Devorah, Brian, Yoel.)
2. Wild: Becca prefers wild, because it shows her “what the land is doing.” (Comments: Earth worship.)
3. Combination: Take what Yahweh sends you first, whether domesticated or wild (within limits). No adding.
Heat Island (“Hot Zone”) Controversy
“The heat island effect from a blacktop (asphalt) road generally alters crop growth in the immediate vicinity, with the most significant impacts on soil temperature and evaporation occurring within the first 5 to 10 meters of the road edge.”
Becca teaches against “hot zones.”
NI now considers the “Heat Island Effect” as irrelevant to the aviv.
Rainy Season / Daylight Length Controversy (1)
AI Overview
Yes, barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a photoperiod-dependent crop, specifically characterized as a long-day plant. It accelerates its flowering and development when exposed to longer day lengths.

Rainy Season / Daylight Length Controversy Part 2
AI Overview
Yes, barley often begins its flowering (anthesis) phase as the weather becomes drier and warmer. While moisture is necessary for early growth, a dry, cool climate is ideal for barley, and it generally requires drier conditions after heading to successfully flower and mature, particularly to avoid fungal diseases and promote grain ripening.

Torah (True Firstfruits) Model:
1. For the priesthood to declare Rosh Hashanah, they must know that there will be a full sheaf of healthy aviv barley with edible starch content by Yom HaNafat HaOmer, 15-21 days after Rosh Hashanah.
2. In practical terms we look for the FIRST full healthy sheaf of barley to “get Yahweh’s approval” to harvest (as Josephus also says).
3. No adding to Scripture.
CAUTIONS:
1. If you wait too long, the barley will shatter (as will be the case with Becca Biderman’s firstfruits). (FYI, Devorah Gordon declared the Aviv in 2021 because the first of the barley had already shattered.)
2. If the Talmudists do not want the barley to shatter and be lost, they need to harvest it early (BEFORE Yom HaNafat HaOmer, which breaks Deuteronomy 16:9).
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 16:9
9 “You shall count seven weeks for yourself; begin to count the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the grain.
10 “Then you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to Yahweh your Elohim with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give as Yahweh your Elohim blesses you.”[Josephus: Antiquities of the Jews, Book 3, Chapter 10, Verse 5.]
…they offer the first-fruits of their barley, and that in the manner following: They take a handful of the ears, and dry them, then beat them small, and purge the barley from the bran; they then bring one tenth deal to the altar, to God [sic]; and, casting one handful of it upon the fire, they leave the rest for the use of the priest. And after this it is that they may publicly or privately reap their harvest.
(First we bring the omer [symbolic of Yeshua], and then we can harvest.)
Strong’s Hebrew Concordance
H24 אָבִיב
‘âbı̂yb aw-beeb’
From an unused root (meaning to be tender); green, that is a young ear of grain; hence the name of the month Abib or Nisan: – Abib, ear, green ears of corn.

“She is manipulating the information and for that reason have nothing to do with her and search ourselves. I have enough of everyones takanots and mai’asims. Just show me the barley and shut up. At Check point Charlie with 12 days until wave sheaf day on March 8, the barley was already entering the dough stage. DOUGH. Where are all the so called experts?
“Last year Becca and Devorah and Yoel all came after we had kept Passover and declared each of them that the barley was shattering the day after I had kept as Wave Sheaf Day. Thus confirming our timing was in fact correct. But each of them went for the month after for Passover when there was not barley left….

FIRST Fruits vs. “Beautiful Fruits” Controversy
: וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ יָמִים | וַיָּבֵא קַיִן מִפְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה מִנְחָה לַיהוָה
B’reisheet (Genesis) 4:3
3 And in the process of time [at the end of days] it came to pass that Qayin brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to Yahweh.
FIRST Fruits vs. “Beautiful Fruits” Controversy
וְהֶבֶל הֵבִיא גַם הוּא מִבְּכֹרוֹת צֹאנוֹ וּמֵחֶלְבֵהֶן | וַיִּשַׁע יְהוָה אֶל הֶבֶל וְאֶל מִנְחָתוֹ
B’reisheet (Genesis) Hevel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And Yahweh respected Hevel and his offering…
Closer to Joe Dumond’s Witness:
1. We still believe you need 14 days (no retroactive declarations)
2. However, we now agree that the “Heat Island Effect” is a complete non-issue (because the reality is that you want to declare the earliest barley [although we will not accept greenhouse barley).
Ask Yourself: Which is More Important:
1. To bring the true first firstfruits in obedience to Yahweh’s commandment, or:
2. To bring “beautiful firstfruits” in keeping with the Talmud, even if it means letting the first of the firstfruits (symbolic of Yeshua) fall to the ground, or breaking Deuteronomy 16:9.
Two Main Barley Camps in Israel:
1. TORAH MODEL: True Firstfruits (Symbolic of Yeshua our Firstfruits).
2. TALMUD MODEL:
- Manicured “Harvest” fruits.
- Requires breaking/redefining Deuteronomy 16:9.

Or:
Why the Talmudic Model Results in Shattered Aviv Barley (and requires sun worship, and breaking Deuteronomy 16:9).
Wild vs. Domestic Controversy:
1. Domestic: Talmudists prefer domestic grains Egypt was “destroyed” when Yahweh hit Egypt with the plagues. (Held by Devorah, Brian, and Yoel.)
2. Wild: Becca prefers wild, because it shows her “what the land is speaking.” (Earth worship.)
3. Combination: Take whatever Yahweh sends you first, whether domesticated or wild (within limits).
