This week, the weekly Torah reading
Tazria-Metzora, discusses various forms of tzara'at, skin maladies which are contracted as a result of engaging in forbidden gossip. Also discussed are garment discolorations which constitute "clothing tzara'at," and the symptoms and laws of "house tzara'at," indicated by certain stone discolorations. Following is a discussion of various ritual impurities, including the laws of the menstruating woman.
Root Source interview. Gidon explains the kinds of Kosher restaurants in Israel, and his trip with Bob to the evening prayers in a Sephardi synagogue.
On the first
intermediate day of Passover, our Root Source teacher Dr. Rivkah Adler organized a special seminar of studying Torah for non-Jews, aptly named Torah School for the Nations, with our Root Source teachers Rivkah, her husband Rabbi Elan Adler, and Gidon Ariel sharing their thoughts and wisdom.
The Root Source 70th Anniversary Tour begins tomorrow. One of the sites they will visit is the Mount of Olives. Here is one of the episodes of that 4-part series on that amazing site we published a year ago.

Hebrew calendar note: Starting with this coming Shabbat, the weekly Torah readings of Israel and the Diaspora will diverge for a number of weeks. In Israel they will read Shmini, while in the Diaspora they will be reading the portion of the 8th day of Pesach. We will be out of synch until the end of the Book of Leviticus and will be back in synch for the reading of Bamidbar, the start of the Book of Numbers. I
will be publishing according to the Israeli reading calendar.
Shalom,
Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell

Thank
you, Ken, for that insight! |
Our student Violet enjoyed
Root Source and had this to say. Violet
wrote: How true. I had never seen the Jewish people in quite that light before. But the fact that they spread the fact of 'one God' alone; that they have truly been the light of the world; that thrills me to no end. Thank you, Ken, for that insight. We are pleased to share with you this beautiful photo of a Large Menorah. Photo copyright by Sherwood Burton daystardawn@outlook.com. Thank you
Sherwood for this lovely photo!
