"Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God."

Exodus 29:45-46

Hi friend,

This coming Shabbat's Torah portion, read on Saturday, March 8th, is Parashat Tetzaveh. In this week’s Parsha, Tetzaveh, we discover the special garments worn by the priests and high priest when serving in the Tabernacle. Following that, we read G‑d‘s instructions to Moses regarding the seven-day inauguration for the Tabernacle. The portion concludes with a description of one of the vessels of the Tabernacle—the Incense Altar.

Celebrate Moriah and Yehuda’s upcoming wedding! Gidon's daughter is marrying an IDF Special Forces officer on April 7, 2025. If you’ll be in Israel, please contact Gidon to join the celebration. Gifts are welcome - Learn more below!

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

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

Participate in our enlightening lesson Teacher Gidon Ariel talked about Teshuvah 5: Jewish Atonement without Sacrifice. Watch it below.

Take part in the inspiring lesson Proverbs Ch 3 verses 13-16 with Rabbi Aryeh Leifert. Learn more below.

Check below to hear what Gidon Ariel with Chief Joseph and Dr. Laralyn RiverWind have to share.

Shalom,

G‑d commands the Jews to use the purest of olive oils for the daily kindling of the Menorah. Moses is instructed to consecrate Aaron and his sons by dressing them in special priestly garments. The Torah describes the making of the High Priest’s ephod — a reversed apron which covered the back — and its precious-stone-studded shoulder straps.

Gidon's daughter Moriah is getting married! We are so excited!

Her fiance is an officer in the IDF Special Forces (Maglan unit).

Here is a translation of the invitation:

I will make a covenant of peace with them--it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish them, and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in the midst of them for ever. (Ezekiel 37: 26)

I found the one that my soul loves; I held on to him and would not let him go (Song of Songs 3:4)

With praise and thanks to God, blessed be he, we are delighted to invite you to the celebration of the marriage of our children

Yehuda and Moriah

On Monday evening, April 7th, 2025.

If you will be in Israel then, please contact Gidon, I hope we will be able to host you at the party!

And if you would like to give a gift to the new couple, we will gladly pass it over to them:-)

This gift is not tax-deductible.

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!
