Dear
,
This week we observed Jerusalem Day in Israel (and around the world!) Watch the video below about this newest and miraculous Jewish holiday.
Gidon also wrote an answer to one of our students about the miracles of the State of Israel, and Jerusalem Day is definitely one of them!
We have more news about the Jubilee! Read about it in Breaking Israel News.
And two more videos: one of Gidon explaining some of the lesser known precepts of Judaism, and the other of our friend Nehemia Gordon explaining one of the most important ones - Jewish Unity.
And we conclude with our lovely comment from a student and a
beautiful picture from the Land of Israel.
Shalom,
Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell

We have made 2 trips to Israel in recent years. We were last there in January of this year. Having been there before, I thought I knew what to expect, but this year we started our trip at Independence Hall in Tel Aviv and the whole tone of my trip changed. I was impressed about the miracle that IS Israel, how many things had to be in place at the right time for Israel to even become a nation. As we continued, and I heard more miracles
that occurred in the various wars, and as our tour guide talked about the prophecies that are being fulfilled in modern times (the desert blooming with new life, etc) I started wondering what else might be transpiring there that would be awe-inspiring, and a proof that God is still in the miracle business. Any thing you can share with me? Thanks so much for your time and input.
Jubilee, Earth's Age, Man's Age?

Once again, Breaking Israel News is host to another innovative oped by Bob and Gidon!
In this article, we move on from Genesis
chapter 5 to chapter 6, and land on a verse that is now seen as one of the most famous, and briefest prophecy texts on earth:
Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
Genesis 6:3 NAS.
This verse is firstly famous for setting a time limit of human life on earth in the present age: 120 years.
Gidon Reveals More about Judaism
|
In part 2, Gidon Ariel explains how Jews pray, Tefillin, and shows them his own prayer shawl. He also explains how the word Torah is a hint to the number of commandments that Jews must keep.
What Divides and Unifies Jews? |
Root Source continues its interview with Israeli Jew Nehemia Gordon.
In part 3 we ask Nehemia where he thinks Karaite Judaism is heading versus
Orthodox Judaism.
In a moment of inspiration from this interview, Bob discovers a possible reason for why Jews have been so much more successful in preserving their own unity versus Christians. Yesterday, Sunday, June 5, was the observed Jerusalem Day in Israel, commemorating the miraculous victory of Israel over the enemy Arab armies and the liberation of Jerusalem and other parts of Israel's heartland during the Six Day War of 1967.
Here is an unbelievable video about that war and that holiday.
Do YOU remember the Six Day War? We'd love to hear your memories! Sharon continues to make us blush! Here's what she wrote recently in response to Avi Lipkin's recent webinar:
I
am sooooo grateful to root-source.com for unceasing nourishment of Torah, that you Israeli-Jewish teachers are giving me access to! I'm enrolled in Avi's channel, but it's glorious to hear his teaching again! I love access to webinar by recording because I am learning-driven! I can't get enough of Israeli Jews teaching Torah, because I have such need of Bible instruction from Hebraic context. Such context has NEVER been available to me here, where idolatrous Greco-Roman worldview has us so
deceived and impoverished of Truth of the El of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our Messiah! Thank you Rabbi Gidon and Root-Source.com, for recorded webinar of Avi!
