This portion is a busy one. It details at length the special service Aaron and his four sons brought in the Tabernacle for the first time, following the seven day period of inauguration. It tells of the tragic demise of Aaron’s elder two sons, Nadab and Abihu, and what happens in the aftermath of their deaths.

Root Source Tours takes you from 700 feet below sea level at the Sea of Galilee to the top of the Golan Heights. Part 1 of several.

Over the past year, Root Source has initiated a project that is outside the realm of our main activities but is very exciting and has great potential. We are excited to be instrumental in its success.

In this lesson, we will study one of the most disturbing descriptions of sin and punishment in the Hebrew Bible, the sin of the Golden Calf.

Here is what Gidon and Dr. Richard talked about this week:

– The miracle of our eyes
– The gift of medical knowledge and ability
– What does “Made in the Image of God” mean?
– Free will is a basis of both Judaism and Christianity
– The passing of the great rabbi Chaim Kaniefsky
– Is studying Torah all day the right thing?
– What should we pursue? Money? Fame? Happiness? Advancement of Human Society
– Gidon is running the Jerusalem Marathon
– Purim and the Scroll of Esther

We get so many comments!
Here is one from Pam Tabola on
Do you know what tribe you're from?

"Thanks Gidon for all the sources you gave Gay. I’ll be reading through those. I have learned a bit more about the assimilation of various tribes in Israel and that migrated during various periods of history.
Blessings!"
