Weekly Portion:
Vayechi – January 14 – 16 Tevet |
This Shabbat's weekly Torah portion Vayechi, Genesis 47:28 - 50:26, discusses Jacob's final years. Shortly before his passing, Jacob blesses Joseph's children as well as his own. A massive funeral procession escorts Jacob's body to Canaan. The
reading, and the Book of Genesis, concludes with Joseph's death.
In the Haftara Prophets reading, I Kings 2:1 - 2:12, King David delivers his deathbed message to his son and successor, Solomon, echoing this week's Torah reading that discusses at length Jacob's parting words and instructions to his sons.
King David encourages Solomon to be strong and to remain steadfast in his
belief in G‑d. This will ensure his success in all his endeavors as well as the continuation of the Davidic Dynasty. David then goes on to give his son some tactical instructions pertaining to various people who deserved punishment or reward for their actions during his reign.
The haftarah concludes with David's death and his burial in the City of David. King Solomon takes his father's place and his sovereignty is firmly
established.
Gidon Ariel on The Reconnect Radio Show |
From time to time, Gidon or Bob are invited to share their thoughts on a radio program.
Last week, Gidon appeared on the Reconnect with Carmen show, and described life on a small Jewish settlement in the Hebron
hills.
Listen to this interview from 25:40 till 43:17.
Happy listening!

Understanding Trump:
Part 5 – Conclusion |
Once again, Breaking Israel News is host to another innovative op ed by Bob O’Dell!
The four previous articles in this series suggested the following insights about
Trump:
First, Trump, at heart, is a people person: the ultimate populist.
Second, Trump uses words like paint: captivating us with the colors, but we must remember that the picture he paints can change at any moment.
Third, Trump wants to be liked and he has already set his mind towards winning the popular vote four years from now.
Fourth, Trump bears some striking similarities to Democratic populist Huey Long, the Kingfish of Louisiana, and Cyrus the Great of ancient Persia.
This final article ties
up some loose ends by looking at Trump as a dealmaker and how he views money, and explains the price of being part of Trump’s inner circle.

"I am thrilled beyond words at this initiative...This is exactly what I have been longing for" |
Nancy had been a Root Source member for just a short time, and see these lovely words she has for Root Source:
Nancy wrote: Gidon, I am thrilled beyond words at this initiative!! I just had a small sampling, will get on my laptop as soon as possible...today or tomorrow morning to join in and begin to learn!!
I feel like crying....I feel like I've come home somehow....I can feel the Love and joy of Pappa G-d washing all over me!!!
I can hardly wait to begin to sit at the
feet of beloved Jewish teachers and learn, and feed upon the Word of G-d with insights and understandings that only a Jewish person would know.
This is exactly what I have been longing for.
I will be sharing this with others too!! Should I just share the link, or direct them to
you?
I have had this sense in recent months that it was like G-d is going to be merging Jews and Christians as never before...almost to the point of not knowing which is which.....I believe your divine appointment initiative is a vehicle for what I have been sensing.
Thank you for sharing this with me!
Blessings, Nancy
