“May the LORD bless
you and keep you; may the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; may the LORD lift up His face on you and give you peace.” ( Numbers 6:24-26) Don't see this email too well? view it on the web! https://root-source.optin.com/newsletter/awlist3485550/MTExMTgwMjM=/new-feature-weekly-torah-readings.htm You signed up for this newsletter for information from Root Source.

,
Some of our readers have asked us for a new feature: a list of the weekly readings from the Torah and the Prophets. We are happy to oblige!
We bring another answer to an Ask The Rabbi question: What are some traditions associated with the Aaronic
Blessing?
And while we are on the subject of the Aaronic Blessing, we bring a special lesson from the Pray As A Jew channel - you guessed it - the Aaronic Blessing:-)
Bob shares his thoughts about the upcoming end of the Jewish Biblical year: Something's got to
change!
We share the third and final installment of Bob's recent talk about the Jubilee.
Finally, last Thursday we sent a message about our friends Israel365 who sell a bautiful 12-Month Jewish Calendar. This was so successful, we are repeating it in this week's
newsletter!
And we finish up as usual with a beautiful comment from one of our students and a beautiful picture from the Land of Israel.
Shalom,
Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell

New Feature:
Weekly Readings
|
This is the first post in a new category – Weekly Torah Readings. We are not sure how this is going to develop, so we really want and need your feedback on it!
Please leave your comments on the post.
Introduction: Every week, the Jewish tradition call for a portion of the Torah – the Five
Books of Moses – to be read in the synagogue, together with a related portion from the Prophets, called the Haftarah.
Ask the Rabbi:
The Aaronic Blessing |
Abigail keeps sending in great questions!
Her latest:
Shalom, it is my understanding that the father (or oldest male?) in the house prays the Aaronic blessing
over the family and others in the home on Erev Shabbat. Correct? In the absence of an adult male, would the mother (oldest woman?) then pray it instead? Or is it skipped?
Gidon Teaches about the Aaronic Blessing |
From time to time, we share a video lesson that is ordinarily only available to channel subscribers.
Here is your chance to have a taste of Gidon Ariel’s “Pray Like A Jew” channel.
We hope you like it – please leave your comments on the post! And if your appetite is whetted, subscribe to the channel!

That Feeling of Coming Change |
I have talked to so many people recently that are in the middle of a feeling they cannot shake: that there is a new beginning just around the corner.
This feeling can be related to their job, their ministry, or even their marriage. From what I have been able to gather in studying the Jubilee year, this is not coincidence, but rather is part and parcel of what we should expect to happen in the second half of a Jubilee year: that period from Passover through Sukkot.
Have you noticed that your soul and/or spirit was
stirred in April, May or June?
Have you been spending time in July, August or September wondering what those stirring are going to mean, and how those stirrings should be acted upon?
You are not alone! Read this fascinating essay>> Keith is a new subscriber, but he shares his heart right away!
Here is a comment on a lesson from over
two years ago! But its message is still fresh and relevant:
Thank you very much Root-source for having this special broadcast from August 2014 available to view. I am very new to Root-Source. This is still my first month of being on this amazing site. We, Christians especially,
need to have these facts known to us of what the 2014 Operation Protective Edge was all about. Where is the passion from Christians for Israel? As I was listening and viewing this broadcast tears were overflowing from my eyes and rolling down my face. When I think of what Israel goes through I am absolutely amazed. Israel is right on the front line of God's battle for the world. It is little wonder that the battle is so very fierce. New Zealand, my country, is a nation at peace. I just cannot
imagine what it must be like to have children see a real rocket travel over their head destined for another part of their country. Media, the Western Media for sure, give an absolutely false picture of Israel. If that was my only source of information about Israel I could easily think that Israel was the aggressor. Israel is constantly in a battle for their very survival. Yet I see in Israel things that I do not see in any other part of the world. In Israel people run towards a terrorist attack
to help the victims. This does not happen in any other part of the world. Elsewhere people run away in terror from terrorist attacks. If I had not seen video of Israelis running towards a terrorist attack to help the victims I would not have believed such a thing would happen. Israelis are amazing people. People from my church who have gone to Israel come home and tell me that in Israel they feel safer than in any other part of the world. Root-Source please keep up providing the channels that
you do. Love.
