Parashat Bo

Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and delivered a warning: “How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they can worship Me!” They informed Pharaoh that if he does not allow the Israelites to go, Egypt will be attacked by a plague of locusts.

Gidon Ariel, CEO of Root Source, joined an insightful Insider Briefing with an Israeli Politician, hosted by Justine Birichi, Leader of StandUp, and Paushali Lass. The discussion, titled 'Israel in the Headlines and in the Bible,' covered critical topics, including the current war, hostage situation, international pressures on Israel, supporting Israel, Jerusalem's significance, and Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria (West Bank).

To gain invaluable perspectives on these critical issues, we invite you to watch the video.

“Tell your sons and your sons’ sons”: Maintaining the organizational culture

Were so many plagues necessary to compel Pharaoh to let the Israelites go? After all, the all-powerful God could have executed His plan in one fell swoop. Why go through blood, frogs, lice, wild animals, pestilence, and the rest of the ten plagues?

Vayera:
Rabbi Gedalia Meyer's Weekly Torah Study

“Will You even destroy the righteous with the wicked?” Avraham asks of G-d, concerning Sodom. The same question, in slightly different terms, is being put before Israel today, as the IDF continues to pound Gaza following the inhuman atrocities perpetrated by Hamas on 1,400 innocent Israeli men, women, children, infants, unborn babies, toddlers, teens and the elderly. What consideration should be taken concerning the safety of the allegedly uninvolved citizens of Gaza as Israel eliminates Hamas? The ambiguous answer Avraham received from G-d leaves only one possible conclusion: get out while you can.

Coincidence? I think not!

"First thank you for you teachings. They mean much to me. I I found myself listening to them with an open mouth like a fish. The more important fact is that I feel an increasing burden on me to seek Jewish wisdom. It happened some days ago when I listened to a Rabbi’s talks, when I read Jewish jokes, suddenly I started to adopt and apply what I’ve heard. I knew this ancient way of thinking and speaking is rooted in G’d and because there is NO coincidence I found you today in the deep www and am very thankful for having you now as a source for further learning. Shalom"
