Dear
Root Source Students,
This week Israel Independence Day and Memorial Day are observed in Israel. If you are used to these holidays in the USA, and you had the good fortune to be in Israel in a previous year (or this year) during this season, you know how special Israel's traditions of celebrating its birth are, including its memorializing its fallen.
In this week's
newsletter:
Gidon shares his perspective on the Western World.
Last week we invited you to Ask the Rabbi and question you wanted. And ask you did! This week we feature our first answer.
Does Jubilee have anything to do with financial downturn? Read the article in the link
below!
This week, we feature a video peek at the Temple Mount, or more specifically, underneath it. See what we mean..
IMPORTANT: We are scheduling another exclusive Root Source Webinar this month! Don't miss it - registration required!
And finally - Bob
shares his perspectives on the Panama Papers.
And we conclude with our lovely comment from a student and a beautiful picture from the Land of Israel.
Hope you like it - drop us a line!
Shalom,
Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell

At the Jerusalem Channel Passover Convocation, Gidon Ariel answered a question about how he views America and the Western World.
He gives a candid perspective on terrorism, immigration, moral decline, politics, protest and hope.
Ask The Rabbi on Root Source |
Was it just last week that we announced a new feature of Root Source, "Ask The Rabbi"?
Well, we are already inundated with requests for answers that people have posed!
We are quite busy with other stuff--just look at all the other items in this week's newsletter, and realize that there is so much
more in the pipeline!--so it will take a few weeks for us to catch up and answer the questions in a more timely fashion, but please look at the first question we answered, and keep on asking your own questions! No question will remain unanswered.
Here is the first question we got - and I'm sure it will interest you!
Hello and thank you for taking my question. I'd really like to know, why do you stop at the Old Testament and never move forward into the New Testament? It's
definitely a positive word for God's chosen people. Thank you and may God continue to richly bless you all. Carol

Once again, Breaking Israel News is host to another innovative op ed by Bob and Gidon!
In part 17 of this series we saw that Benjamin Netanyahu held the first-ever Israeli cabinet meeting on the other side of the Jordan River in the
Golan Heights, and declared that the Golan will forever be part of Israel.
This was exactly the kind of declaration that we would expect to see in a Jubilee year! In a previous article we declared the reunification of Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel in 1967 was “amazing,” so compared to that, this is merely important. And so we shall continue to watch in the coming months to see if God might
do something not only important, but amazing.
Today we take on a new topic:
Does a Jubilee year signal financial collapse, disaster, or judgment?
We could hardly have chosen a topic that is more highly charged, more subject to hype and
ridicule in religious conversation, and yes, even exploitation, especially after what transpired last year regarding the Shemitah.
Digging for Temple Mount Treasure! |
Israel in general and Jerusalem in particular are full of surprises!
In this video we tag along with the Jerusalem Channel Passover Convocation, hosted by our friend Christine Darg, as they take a field trip to an
archaeological dig site – the Temple Mount Sifting Project on Mount Scopus, Jerusalem.
This is the world’s largest public educational program to teach people how to look for historical artifacts on a dig site.
Join our friends Laurie and Nancy as they show us how it’s done.
Register for exclusive webinar with Avi Lipkin! |
Last month -- oh my, two months ago! -- we tried something new for us:
A life webinar featuring a Root Source teacher introducing his channel.
We featured Seth Young in this inaugural webinar, and it was a resounding success! Hundreds of Root Source students took advantage of this opportunity to learn from Seth, a world class leading Hebrew teacher, and even ask him questions in real time!
We are overjoyed to be able to announce our second webinar, and this one is going to
be especially special! (is that even a word?:-)
Our featured teacher will be Avi Lipkin, world expert on Islam and our Root Source teacher on our Understanding Islam channel.
Avi will be hosting a Question and Answer session, and YOU can ask him any question you
want!
This will be first come, first served, and time is very limited.
The webinar will take place on Sunday, May 22, a little under two weeks from now. More information will be forthcoming.
So register for the webinar (if you have registered in the past, you are automatically registered for Avi's webinar) by completing the form here:
Panama Papers:
A Sudden Terror for Kings? |
In a previous article concerning the Zika outbreak we noted a strange pattern of “new and surprising”
events occurring every two months, right at the beginning of the month ever since the beginning of the new Jewish year.
That pattern, of events of course suggested we should watch carefully for a surprise event in early April. Early April
delivered on cue and actually did provide a stunning to surprise to the world, in the form of the Panama Papers.
Now, for many people this announcement would be passed right over. In fact now, a full month later, many people may have even
forgotten this news. But I promise you did not pass right over it, and you have not forgotten it if you are a world leader or king.
In case you missed this story, here's what happened:
Wow! Look what Becky wrote about Avi Lipkin's classes! You don't want to miss his Webinar!
Thank you for posting Avi Lipkin's classes on Islam. He has an urgent message for today. He has a
Serious message to the Church. The course title does not fully describe what is being said.
I am attempting to get the word out about his message.
He knows the whole Bible as well as a Christian.
He loves the Church, the Jews, Israel and loves God, and all people groups.
He brings
great historical understanding and knowledge to the events unfolding in the nations right now.
He is a John the Baptist kind of voice for us today.
This goes far beyond a course just for one's interest.
The message us a wake up call from God to the nations.
I applaud you for your wisdom and discernment.
Thank you for being as a son of Issachar, understanding the times.
Many Blessings, Becky
