This week, the weekly Torah
reading Vayetzei, Jacob travels to his uncle Laban. En route he stops at the Temple Mount where God appears and assures him that he will return safely to the Land of Canaan. Jacob stays for twenty years in Charan before returning to Canaan. During his stay he shepherds Laban's sheep, and survives and prospers despite all his uncle's attempted deceptions. He marries Leah and Rachel, and the first eleven tribes are
born.

like to hear your story if you visited a Synagogue on the weekend of November 2-3. In my town of Austin we managed to notify and encourage Christians to visit four different synagogues in the Austin area of Reformed, Conservative, and Orthodox congregations. We got some very nice feedback from both Christians — most of whom had never stepped inside a synagogue before — and from the rabbis and those who were part of the congregations.
We sign off with a lovely quote from a Root Source student and an amazing photo.

Weekly Portion: Vayetzei – November 17 – 9th of Kislev |
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Vayeitzei Genesis 28:10–32:3, Jacob leaves his hometown of Beersheba and journeys to Charan. On the way, he encounters “the place” and sleeps there, dreaming of a ladder connecting heaven and earth, with angels climbing and descending on it; God appears and promises that
the land upon which he lies will be given to his descendants. In the morning, Jacob raises the stone on which he laid his head as an altar and monument, pledging that it will be made the house of God.
In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Hosea 12:13 – 14:10, mentions Jacob’s flight from home to the “field of Aram,” an episode that is recounted in this week’s Torah reading.
Happy
studying!

We’d like to hear your story if you visited a Synagogue on the weekend of November 2-3.

I really appreciated Gidon’s blog post that helped spur us on to do something. I have seen before, but am still learning about the way in which
the Jewish people step forward quickly after tragedy strikes.
Karen enjoyed Root Source and had this to say.

Thank you Chaim Eisen. It
was exciting to hear you speak on Gods word it was like food to me, God is showing me a new way that is Jewish. As the word of God came to his chosen “from among all people’s ” first, and gave you the language you have it is only right that you can inspire the love of God for humanity. Praise be to Him. as we all learn to understand the extent of his love for us all. I couldn’t stop writing down chapter & verse I would like to speak & read Hebrew some day, but it might take a miracle as
I’m an Australian we talk in quite a flat way and can’t roll our ‘R’s”. But Gods will be done. Thank you again I really enjoyed listening to you. Regards Karen .
