Do You Live In a Grey State? We need you!

Published: Mon, 06/26/17

And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place. And they shall be kept for the water for impurity for the congregation of the people of Israel; it is a sin offering. Numbers 19:9

Dear ,

Campus Campaign Update: We’re Almost Halfway There! As you know, we are running a campaign to distribute thousands of copies of our best selling book Israel FIRST! To do that, we are recruiting liaisons who will each distribute thirty books for free. We are giving away free Root Source subscriptions and chances to win free trips to Israel. We have already distributed about half of the books! We also are excited that we have liaisons in almost half of the United States!

This week, the weekly Torah reading Chukat, begins with a discussion regarding the laws of the red heifer. Miriam and Aaron die. When the Jews are in need of water, Moses strikes a rock – despite being commanded to talk to it. Waters stream forth, but Moses is banned from entering Israel. Amalek battles the Israelites and is defeated. Edom and Moab refuse the Israelites passageway to Israel. The Israelites battle Sichon and Og, and are victorious.

Root Source Interviews and Tours introduces you to one of the most compelling theories we have ever heard about the current location of the Ark of the Covenant, through our guest Dr. Edoardo Recanati, an Israeli Jew who has lived in the land for over 35 years.

Root Source Tours allows you to experience the transition from the Sea of Galilee, 700 feet below sea level, to the top of the Golan Heights.

Root Source News covers an event on the reconciliation of Ephraim and the Ten Tribes with Judah, in Jerusalem in May 2017. The conference was put on by COI – the Commonwealth of Israel and is about the two houses: Israel/Ephraim and Judah coming together.


We sign off with a lovely quote from a Root Source student and a beautiful picture of Jaffa Gate Quiet in Jerusalem.

Shalom,

Do You Live In One Of These States?
 
We’re Almost Halfway There!

As you know, we are running a campaign to distribute thousands of copies of our best selling book Israel FIRST! To do that, we are recruiting liaisons who will each distribute thirty books for free. We are giving away free Root Source subscriptions and chances to win free trips to Israel.

We have already distributed about half of the books!

We also are excited that we have liaisons in almost half of the United States!
Look at this map above: 
It shows every state where we already have a liaison (or a few!) in pink, about 21 states, and the states where we have no liaison in grey.

Do You Live In One Of The Grey States?

Here is the updated list:

Weekly Portion:
Chukat – July 1 – 7 Tamuz
 
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Chukat Numbers 19:1 – 22:1, Moses is taught the laws of the red heifer, whose ashes purify a person who has been contaminated by contact with a dead body.

In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading I Samuel 11:14 – 12:22, the prophet Samuel (a descendant of Korach, the protagonist of this week’s Torah portion) gathers the Jews to firmly install Saul as king of Israel. During the course of his address to the Jews he called out, “Here I am; bear witness against me before God and before His anointed; whose ox did I take, or whose ass did I take, or whom did I rob; or whom did I oppress, or from whose hand did I take a bribe…” This echoes Moses’ statement in this week’s Torah reading: “I have not taken a donkey from a single one of them, and I have not harmed a single one of them.”

Happy Studying!
