Bereshit is the first weekly Torah portion in the
annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. The parashah consists of Genesis 1:1–6:8. This year, Root Source published a groundbreaking book, The Light From Zion, in which expert Jewish teachers share the timeless divine wisdom of the Torah with interested Christians (!) We only have a few copies left!
This week, the weekly Torah reading Bereishit, God creates the world in six days and rests on the seventh. Adam
and Eve eat from the Tree of Knowledge and are expelled from the Garden of Eden. Cain slays Abel and is punished accordingly. Enumeration of the ten generations between Adam and Noah, the birth of Noah, and the degeneration of mankind.
Spring 2018 Israel Trip! We are zeroing in on details for the spring 2018 Root Source trip to Israel. The theme of this once in a lifetime
program will be "Seventy Years to Israel's Rebirth." We are planning this trip to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Israel's founding in 1948. It will be a visit of your lifetime!
Root Source Interview presents Teshuvah 4 – 2 Chronicles 7:14 – National Repentance. How do Jews react to this verse? Do they ever do this themselves? Gidon answers.
Root Source Tours takes you to the base of Mount Hermon and we listen in on Yair Mazur speak about it being a viable candidate for the Mount of Transfiguration.

Bereshit from the book “The Light from Zion” |

Weekly Portion: Bereishit – October 14 – 24 Tishrei |
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Bereishit Genesis 1:1 – 6:8, God creates the world in six days. On the first day He makes darkness and light. On the second day He forms the heavens, dividing the “upper waters” from the “lower waters.” On the third day
He sets the boundaries of land and sea, and calls forth trees and greenery from the earth. On the fourth day He fixes the position of the sun, moon and stars as timekeepers and illuminators of the earth. Fish, birds and reptiles are created on the fifth day; land animals, and then the human being, on the sixth. God ceases work on the seventh day, and sanctifies it as a day of rest.
In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Isaiah 42:5 – 42:21, opens with a statement by “the Almighty God, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who laid out the earth and made grow from it.” This echoes the Torah portion’s recounting of the creation of the world in six days.
Happy studying! SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Shalom!

Root Source Interview: Teshuvah 4 – 2 Chronicles 7:14 – National
Repentance |
In part 4, Bob asks Gidon Ariel about the phenomena of Christians around the world coming together to humble themselves, seek God, and pray for their own nations on the basis of the famous 2 Chronicles 7:14
verse.
How do Jews react to this verse? Do they ever do this themselves? Gidon answers.
Part 4 of 5.
Root Source Tours: The Druze and Mount Hermon |
Root Source takes you to the base of Mount Hermon and we listen in on Yair Mazur speak about it being a viable candidate for the Mount of Transfiguration. Can you guess what problem the “Mount Hermon location” solves? Hint: it brings the New Testament into
full agreement with words recorded in the Torah by Moses about himself.

"I’ve certainly enjoyed your 30-day series." |
Lynda enjoyed Root Source and had this to say.

Dear Rabbi Adler, I’ve certainly enjoyed your 30-day series. Perhaps you could do another one sometime. I didn’t feel “preached at.” Quite the opposite. I retained much more because it was mostly in story form. I also enjoyed your root-source lessons, along the same lines. I was thinking about Day 28. What about, “He was loved by all who knew him?. God bless you and Rivka, and all your family
members.
We are pleased to share with you a photo of a lovely Dove. Photo copyright by Sherwood Burton daystardawn@outlook.com. Thank you Sherwood for this lovely photo!
