Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of
them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6

Dear ,
This newsletter might just be your favorite one ever. We are going to introduce you to a Jewish Spiritual Rock band. And we are giving away eclipse photos!
This week, the weekly Torah reading 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.
In the summer of 2016, Bob O’Dell and Gidon Ariel published Jubilee NOW. So much has changed since then, that we have published a FINAL EDITION of this book, with close to a hundred pages of new content, bringing this exciting topic up to date! Buy the new edition, for a limited time only up to SIXTY FIVE PERCENT OFF! Get it here.
Studio See 34. Last time we discussed the similarities between the story of the Exodus, and the idea of Christian salvation; or at least the larger sense of that salvation. While many aspects compare, some aspects of the Exodus story don’t seem to fit easily within our typical Christian notion of salvation. Read below to know the four aspects that don’t seem to fit.
We are happy to share with you some more pictures from the Total Lunar Eclipse last week. All of them are just exactly as photographed, no editing of any kind. These photos were taken by Bob O'Dell.
We sign off with a nice comment from our Root Source student and a lovely photo.
Shalom,
Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell

New! Meet Yehudah Katz and the Ma’agal – Jewish Spiritual Rock
|
We have a real treat in store for you! Meet Yehudah Katz and his rock band the Ma’agal which means — the full circle. We caught up with him in a live performance at The First Station in Jerusalem. This one video has interviews, a music video, four live songs, and a Hassidic story you probably never heard! (31:05)
Enjoy! (Lyrics below the video).
Weekly Portion:
Mishpatim – February 2 – 27th of Sh’vat, 5779
|
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Mishpatim, Exodus 21:1 – 24:18, following the revelation at Sinai, God legislates a series of laws for the people of Israel. These include the laws of the indentured servant; the penalties for murder, kidnapping, assault and theft; civil laws pertaining to redress of damages, the granting of loans and the responsibilities of the “Four Guardians”; and the rules governing the conduct of justice by courts of law.
In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Jeremiah 34:8 – 34:22; 33:25 – 33:26 ,Jeremiah describes the punishment that would befall the Jews because they continued enslaving their Hebrew slaves after six years of service—transgressing the commandment discussed in the beginning of this week’s Torah reading.
Happy studying!
Jubilee Now FINAL EDITION!
|
In the summer of 2016, Bob O’Dell and Gidon Ariel published Jubilee NOW, to explore and delve deeply into the concept of the Jubilee, the Yovel, and try to understand what God means for us to know and do. This was especially important as, in contrast to Shemitah and Blood Moons, there are barely any books written for Christians about the Jubilee. God had left this field wide open so to speak, and in Jubilee NOW!, O’Dell and Ariel introduced this critical topic
to the world very seriously.
So much has changed since then, that we have published a FINAL EDITION of this book, with close to a hundred pages of new content, bringing this exciting topic up to date!
If you bought the first edition of Jubilee NOW, you will be fascinated to read this new edition.
And if you missed out on all the excitement, you will be FASCINATED by the research that is presented in Jubilee Now FINAL EDITION!
Buy the new edition, for a limited time only up to SIXTY FIVE PERCENT OFF!

Studio See: 034 – National Salvation and Christianity
|
Most of these columns are designed to offer some insight or observation about things that are happening at the intersection of Christian/Jewish relations. Today’s topic is a lot heavier on the observation than insight.
How should Christians think about national salvation?
Last time we discussed the similarities between the story of the Exodus, and the idea of Christian salvation; or at least the larger sense of that salvation. While many aspects compare, some aspects of the Exodus story don’t seem to fit easily
within our typical Christian notion of salvation. Here are four aspects that don’t seem to fit.
