Dear ,

This week, the weekly Torah reading Beshalach, Pharaoh pursues the Israelites into the desert. The Red Sea splits, the Israelites cross the sea while the Egyptian army is drowned. Moses and the Israelites sing a special song thanking God for this miracle. The Israelites complain about a lack of food and drink. God sends Manna and quail for them to eat, and miraculously produces water from a rock. Amalek attacks the Israelites and is soundly defeated.

Root Source Interviews. In Part 2 Avi and Bob talk about the fact that those nations that voted with the USA and Israel were either Islands or nations with coastlands. 

Now that we have finished 2017, we need to keep our promise we made you in fall of 2015, to study, review and try to figure out whether a Jubilee is happening or not, and to write what we learn.

Root Source Tours begins a news series that takes you to the City of David in Jerusalem for a special guided tour with Ana Rinah Heymann of the City of David Museum.

We sign off with a nice comment from our student and a photo of a boat.

Weekly Portion:
Vaera – January 13 – 26 Tevet
 
Image
In this Shabbat's weekly Torah portion Bo Exodus 13:17 - 17:16, soon after allowing the children of Israel to depart from Egypt, Pharaoh chases after them to force their return, and the Israelites find themselves trapped between Pharaoh’s armies and the sea. God tells Moses to raise his staff over the water; the sea splits to allow the Israelites to pass through, and then closes over the pursuing Egyptians. Moses and the children of Israel sing a song of praise and gratitude to God.

In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Judges 4:4 - 5:31 , describes the fall of the Canaanite general Sisera and his armies, who were swept away by the Kishon River, and Deborah's ensuing song of thanks. This parallels this week's Torah portion which discusses the drowning of the Egyptian forces in the Red Sea and and the subsequent songs led by Moses and Miriam.

Happy studying!

In Part 2 Avi and Bob talk about the fact that those nations that voted with the USA and Israel were either Islands or nations with coastlands. During a break in the winter storm in Israel a rainbow appears!

A Jubilee Sum-it-up Article is Coming!

Now that we have finished 2017, we need to keep our promise we made you in fall of 2015, to study, review and try to figure out whether a Jubilee is happening or not, and to write what we learn.

Are the Jubilees happening on a Calendar year, like 2017?

Do they happen on a Jewish year boundaries, such as 5776?

How does the Jerusalem 50 Year Jubilee celebration figure into all of this?

Root Source Tours begins a news series that takes you to the City of David in Jerusalem for a special guided tour with Ana Rinah Heymann of the City of David Museum. This tour – one of our best – will take you to places outside the reach of a typical tour.

In Part 1 as we overlook the City of David, Ana Rinah explains Yerushalayim in a deeper way than we had heard it, as well as why she is the luckiest girl in the world.

Part 1 of several.

 
Thanks Gidon Ariel for this amazing resource!

Shelly enjoyed Root Source and had this to say.

I have been learning about Hebrew letter for a while, but the courses are slow. (In a good way) But I wanted to understand a little faster on how to read it and say it. I found out that this source offers instant Hebrew along with the multiple of other course I am learning from. I have watched all three videos today and yesterday. Now I need to practice. Thanks Gidon Ariel for this amazing resource!
