The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”

Exodus 24:12

Hi friend,

This coming Shabbat's Torah portion, read on Saturday, February 22nd, is Parashat Mishpatim. In this week’s reading of Mishpatim, details many laws, including laws related to slaves, personal injury, loans, usury, and property damage. The end of the portion speaks of the preparations the Israelites made before receiving the Torah at Mt. Sinai.

Please enjoy this teaching of our beloved Root Source teacher, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz of blessed memory, about last week's Torah portion, Yitro, and share your thoughts with us!

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

The Israelites enthusiastically committed themselves to following all of G‑d’s laws. Moses transcribed the “Book of the Covenant” and read it to the people. Then, together with the Israelite firstborn, Moses offered sacrifices and sprinkled the blood on the people, bringing them into a covenant with G‑d. This section concludes with G‑d summoning Moses – after the giving of the Torah – to ascend the mountain where he would remain for forty days and nights, and would then be given the Tablets.

With your help, Root Source will translate, edit, and publish Rabbi Dermer's autobiography, for all the world to know.

Supporters of this campaign will be listed in the book.

Please help us reach this important goal, so we can present Rabbi Dermer of a copy of this book later this year on his 95th birthday!

Love Advice from Genesis

Gidon and Richard discuss volunteering, including Gidon's work driving cancer patients and transporting individuals from Gaza and the West Bank.
