Dear ,

This week, the weekly Torah reading Nitzavim-Vayelech, Moses gathers the Israelites on the day of his passing to enter them into a covenant with God. He warns of the exile and desolation of the Land that will result when Israel abandons God's laws, but assures them that they will eventually repent, and God will then return His people to the Holy Land.

Please accept our apologies for the mistake that appeared in our Newsletter last week. You might have wondered why the title says "Asking a personal Question" We actually got that title from our interview with Rabbi Shor that we will feature in today's newsletter. ​​​​​​​

Shalom,

Day #15

We’re half way through this month of reflection and meditation and aiming for positive changes for the coming year. February 20, 1993, I was invited to offer a prayer at the installation of a national figure to his new position in Washington DC. President Clinton, Vice President Gore, and dozens of dignitaries were going to be present. Those of us participating in this installation were huddled to a back area behind the stage, in order that the President could meet each one of us and have a picture taken. We waited patiently. My heart raced, I cleared my throat several times, nervously patted my hair into order a hundred times and straightened by tie over and over. Accompanied by flashbulbs and much hubub the President came to our area, approached each of us for quick banter (I prepared some words too), and then the program began. I must admit it was a very heady and elevated moment recorded by a bank of hundreds of cameras in the gallery. But later that day I could have kicked myself! When was the last time when I stood before God in prayer, dressed as nicely and carefully, trying to look my very best, clearing my throat and rehearsing what I would say without fumbling over my words? Did I primp before the President more than before God? I’ve thought about that so many times, and always remind myself to hail to the correct Chief.

Hype or Hope? The Revelation 12 Controversy
 
Watch a balanced treatment of all sides of the controversial September 23, 2017 alignment in Virgo about Revelation 12.

End Times sign? False sign? Ignore it? Watch it?


Bob attempts to explain it all, then he presents a new perspective you probably never thought about, based on Jewish commentary.


NOTE:  While this particular video is not typical for Root Source, Gidon is giving Bob some freedom here to apply Jewish thought to a topic that is coming up in Christian circles today.  We include it because like so many other topics that seem to have nothing to do with Jewish thought, this topic ends up circling right back around to — you guessed it — Israel.

"How blessed is Israel to be in the direction of National Teshuvah!"
 
Barbara enjoyed Root Source and had this to say.

Great series. The Hebrew language is beautiful, and I enjoyed your mini lessons. It was interesting to hear about the three levels of teshuvah. How blessed is Israel to be in the direction of National Teshuvah!
