Dear ,


We are a short week or two before the special holiday Passover. 

This holiday celebrates the birth of the People of Israel, and highlights the values of faith, freedom, and love. 

In this week's newsletter, we share four very important stories:

First of all, we introduce the Root Source Scholarship Fund, to help spread the wisdom that we are so blessed to share.

Then we conclude the interview we held with our friends Merv and Merla Watson, great friends of ours and of the Jewish People.

Bob now publishes an update to the list of predictions in Israel FIRST! Are you keeping a scorecard like we are?

Finally, we share a heartwarming story never before available to English speakers on the Internet: that of the the world's oldest man, Israel Kristal. 

Shalom,

Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell
Root Source Founders
 

Give the Gift of Root Source!

 
While we here at Root Source have been busy creating lessons, servicing our students, and building new content and features, a certain milestone passed that Bob noticed.

It seems that April 9th, 2016 coincided with the first day of the month of Nisan this year, which two years ago was the day that Root Source was incorporated!

So happy birthday to us!

But we are not fishing for gifts for us. Instead, we would like to give a gift to others, and invite you to partner with us at this time.

Introducing the Root Source Scholarship Fund.

We are leading the way in breaking down the millennia-old walls of mistrust and antagonism between Christians and Jews, and helping spread God’s Word as per Isaiah and Micah to help Christians worldwide understand their faith more deeply.

To help spread this message and reach more people, thanks to the generous support of people like you, we will offer needy, thirsty students a one-year subscription at full scholarship. Thank you for your donation today!

Please go to our Scholarship Fund page, read the story of how we came to create the Fund, and make your contribution.

Thank you and God Bless!

 

More on Merla and Merv: The Founders of the Christian Embassy

 
Merv Watson had the original idea to start a Christian Embassy in Jerusalem.

Today the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem (ICEJ) is one of the largest Christian ministries in Israel.

Here is the story of how it came about.

This concludes our four-part interview of Merv and Merla Watson. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!


 

Prediction Update:
Are We Peaking or Not?

 

When we wrote Israel FIRST!, we agreed to hold ourselves accountable regarding predictions made, which were listed in Appendix B of the book. Some of those predictions involved the financial peaks of nations.


Only eight months has elapsed since the releasing of the book to the printers, so it is really too early to claim accuracy regardless what has happened. These predictions will require many years to verify, even though there is and has been a “feel” here in America, by many political conservatives that America is in both moral and economic decline.


Only when the secular historians begin to look BACK and say “we peaked” could we truly stand up and say “we called it right”.


But, before historians would look back, you would expect to see some economists and/or historians to look FORWARD and predict that a decline may be in front us, and that HAS just happened.

 

The World's Oldest Man: 
What's His Secret?

 

With all the front page news happening in and about Israel, from time to time a human interest story really grabs our attention.


We saw this short piece on Israel TV and thought we'd share it with you by translating it and embedding English captions, and posting it on Youtube.

And as general human interest as it is, we think you'll agree that it is an entirely Israeli story in so many aspects.

But don't take our word for it! Watch this film, make sure you have tissues nearby, and comment and share!
