Dear friend!

As we approach the end of another year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared in 2024. Thanks to your interest in and support of Root Source, we have continued to fulfill our mission of fostering meaningful connections between Christian and Jewish communities through education and cooperation. We are immensely grateful for the impact you've made on our work this year. 
 

A Year of Growth and Impact 

Over the past 12 months, Root Source has expanded its reach, creating more opportunities for Christians from around the world to engage with the teachings of our Jewish teachers and gain deeper insight into the shared biblical values that unite us. From online courses to in-person events and global partnerships, 2024 has been a year of immense growth and learning. 

Some of the highlights include:

• Educational Programs: We’ve added close to two hundred new video and text teachings on topics like Women in the Bible, Jewish History, Biblical Hebrew, and The Temple, reaching over 12,000 participants across 122 countries.
• Community Engagement: Through interviews, in-person speaking opportunities, and collaborative projects, we’ve connected with thousands of individuals committed to building bridges between our faith communities.
• Light Up the Church: Our program aimed at educating churches and communities about the history and impact of anti-Semitism continues to expand, with over 300 churches, businesses and individuals who kept their lights ON in commemoration of Kristallnacht, on November 9, 2024.
• Book Publications: We continue to publish our annual book series, “The LIST,” which documents anti-Semitic incidents worldwide. This year’s edition places significant focus on the alarming rise in Jewish hatred following the October 7th attack on the State of Israel.
   

Looking Ahead to 2025 

While celebrating our achievements of this past year, we also look ahead with excitement. In 2025, we aim to:

• Launch new, groundbreaking courses and symposia.
• Strengthen our partnerships with U.S. and global leaders in interfaith dialogue.
• Add teachers and students to our circle of learning.
• And much, much more!

Please see the expanded list of what we did in 2024 and what our plans are for 2025 in our annual report.

None of this would be possible without the continued support of donors like you. Root Source is entirely reliant on the generosity of kind individuals who believe in the power of education and interfaith cooperation. As we approach the end of the year, we invite you to consider making a tax-deductible gift to Root Source in the U.S. or Israel.
