Hi {{ subscriber.first_name | capitalize() or "friend" }},

This coming Shabbat's Torah portion, read on Saturday, December 25th, is Shemot. This portion tells of the Israelites' affliction in Egypt, the hiding and rescuing of the infant Moses, Moses in Midian, the calling of Moses, circumcision on the way, meeting the elders, and Moses before Pharaoh.

Last week, our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer talked about Vayechi. Check it below.

We are delighted to share our lesson Hebrew Midwives from our course Hebrew Midwives with our teacher Dr. Rivkah Adler.

Last December 20, Dr. Booker and Gidon had a conversation. Read it below.

Parashat Vayechi

This week's Torah reading, Shemot, begins the Book of Exodus. Pharaoh issues harsh decrees against the Israelites, beginning decades of Jewish suffering and slavery. Moses is born and raised in the Egyptian royal palace. After killing an Egyptian, Moses escapes to Midian and marries. G‑d appears to him in a burning bush and demands that he return to Egypt to redeem the Israelites. Moses returns to Egypt with the intention of freeing the Jewish people.
