This week, the weekly Torah reading Lech
Lecha, Abram and Sarai travel to Canaan. Due to a famine in the land they temporarily relocate to Egypt, where Pharaoh unsuccessfully attempts to add Sarai to his harem. They return to Canaan with great wealth and Abram parts with his nephew Lot.
April 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

Weekly Portion: Lech-Lecha – October 28 – 8 Cheshvan |
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Lech Lecha Genesis 12:1 – 17:27, God speaks to Abram, commanding him, “Go from your land, from your birthplace and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you.” There, God says, he will be made into a
great nation. Abram and his wife, Sarai, accompanied by his nephew Lot, journey to the land of Canaan, where Abram builds an altar and continues to spread the message of a one God.
In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Isaiah 40:27 – 41:16, discusses Abraham’s journey to the land of Canaan at God’s behest, and touches upon Abraham’s miraculous battle against the four kings, both
of which are described in this week’s Torah reading.
Happy studying! SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Shalom!
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!
Our hosts will be Root Source leader Gidon Ariel and Pastor Trey Graham.
This will be a very special
tour, crafted for Christians who love Israel and the Jewish People - in short, Root Source students!
The Mystery of the Lost Jubilee: Part XXVII – Was 5777 a Jubilee? |
In the past twenty-six articles and our book Jubilee Now, we have looked at the Jubilee year from both Jewish and Christian perspectives to examine whether God might be restoring to the world, an identification of the
Jubilee calendar as described in Leviticus Chapter 25. The idea was basically that 1967 was such a pivotal year that we needed carefully watch 2016 and 2017 for signs of Jubilee.
We started this journey with you two years ago in November 2015, near the beginning of the year 5776 on the Hebrew Calendar. During 5776
(from September 2015 thru October 2016) we wrote 25 articles explaining the background of the Jubilee and looking for evidence that might help us discover whether year 5776 (which mostly falls in 2016) might be a Jubilee year.
Hype or Hope: The Protestant Reformation is Linked to Israel? |
In one week, Christians will celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation that was led by Martin Luther.
In that same week, Israel and the Nations will
celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheva and the surprise charge by the Australians that won it.
Later that same week we will celebrate the British Balfour Declaration that paved the way to the founding of Israel.
WE BELIEVE ALL THESE EVENTS ARE CONNECTED in the mind
of God, and explain it all in the latest edition of our new Hype or Hope series. Our simple 10 minute video might just change your perspective!

I have really enjoyed this tour. This episode is especially insightful. How interesting the thought why Jesus spoke Hebrew instead of Aramaic. I love the teaching on the puns. Thank you so much, Bob!
