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

This coming Shabbat's Torah portion, read on Saturday, January 8th, is Bo. This portion tells of the last three plagues on Egypt and the first Passover.

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

We are delighted to share The Edge of History: Part 4 from our course The Edge of History with our teacher Rabbi Ken Spiro.

Dr Booker and Gidon spend a little time talking about the New Years Eve and Christmas Day from a Jewish perspective. See below.

We sign off with a beautiful photo of Nazareth, Israel.

Shalom,
