Hi {{ subscriber.first_name | capitalize() or "friend" }},
This coming Shabbat's Torah portion, read on Saturday, January 22nd, is Yitro. This portion tells of Jethro's organizational counsel to Moses and God's revelation of the Ten Commandments to the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
Last week, our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer talked about "Beshalach." Check it below.
We are delighted to share Yehoshua Lesson 3 from our course Yehoshua with our teacher Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz. Learn it here.
Dr Booker and Gidon spend a little time talking about the Verse from Hebrews 11:6. See below.
Paul Calvert interviews Gidon Ariel who speaks about Bridgebuilders. See below.
We sign off with a beautiful photo of Jerusalem, Israel.
Shalom,
Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell

This portion tells of a visit from Moses’s father-in-law, the eponymous Jethro, and of the Revelation at Sinai. It marks a turning point in the narrative, as from this point forward, more of the text is spent on expounding the law than telling the story
Beshalach: Rabbi Gedalia Meyer's Weekly Torah Study
Our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer has been giving short weekly teaching on the Weekly Portion for the Temple Institute.
We are grateful to our friends at the Temple Institute who gave permission to provide Rabbi Meyer’s teachings here too.
Lesson 3: Yehoshua Part 3
Dr Richard Booker and Gidon Ariel January 11
Gidon and Richard discuss the Verse from Hebrews 11:6, “God rewards those who diligently seek him,” and especially the first part of that verse, “Without faith it is impossible to please God,” and how that compares
and contrasts to the passage in Mishna Pirkei Avot (Chapters of the Fathers).
Paul Calvert interviews Gidon Ariel who speaks about Bridgebuilders
In 2020, Gidon Ariel of Root Source hosted the Bridgebuilders program. Learn more about it here and enjoy this short in-depth interview that pro-Israel podcaster (and Bridgebuilder himself!) Paul Calvert conducted
with him.
We get so many comments! Here is one from Stevie Mick from What Was Jesus' Favourite Book? Gidon Ariel Talks to Jeff About The "Bible" in the First Century
"Shalom, Gidon! Wonderful exchange with Jeff and should challenge assumptions by many Christians who claim to be “restoring New Testament Christianity.” Shifting the focus from “books” to “scrolls” was excellent and was also a wonderful reflection for me! As I recall you did not specifically answer the discussion questions itself. Jeff answered the Psalms and that may be true of Scriptures recited without reference to the amount of times they were cited. Otherwise, for sheer volume I
still hold to the fifth scroll of the Torah, Devarim." |
