Dear ,
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Behar-Bechukotai Leviticus 25:1 – 27:34, on the mountain of Sinai, God communicates to Moses the laws of the Sabbatical year: every seventh year, all work on the land should cease, and its produce becomes free for the taking for all, man and beast.

Root Source Tours brings you some of the lesser known stories in the pivotal 24 hour period from 4 am May 14, 1948 to 4 am May 15 during the founding moments of the rebirth of the Nation of Israel after 2,000 years. In Part 2, we tell what happened when King Abdullah 1 addressed his troops in the late afternoon, and what happened when Sir Alan Cunningham departed Israel at midnight.
In case you missed it, below is the full broadcast about Ezra Yakhin.
We’re Going Back Out. We have arrived at a new crossroads in our lifetime. We are leaving the quarantine and the solitude of our homes to return to “the big world” out there. We have a choice, a second chance if you will. Which road will I choose to walk on this time? Lots of good out there to choose from. Lots of good to bring out there with me. Plenty of stuff from the world before corona that I definitely need to stay away
from.
We sign off with a nice comment from a Root Source student and a beautiful photo of Three Pillars.
Shalom,

Behar-Bechukotai – May 20 – 24 Iyyar
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Behar-Bechukotai Leviticus 25:1 – 27:34, on the mountain of Sinai, God communicates to Moses the laws of the Sabbatical year: every seventh year, all work on the land should cease, and its produce becomes free for the taking for all, man and beast.
Seven Sabbatical cycles are followed by a fiftieth year—the Jubilee year, on which work on the land ceases, all indentured servants are set free, and all ancestral estates in the Holy Land that have been sold revert to their original owners. Additional laws governing the sale of lands, and the prohibitions against fraud and usury, are also given.

Rachel and Leah 1 - Destiny Fulfilled
Jacob meets Rachel. But why does he cry when he kisses her?

This week’s music Diaspora Yeshiva Band “הפכת” “We All Get Another Chance”
Chag Sameach! Today, the 14th of Iyar is “Pesach Sheni, the holiday of a second chance.” We have arrived at a new crossroads in our lifetime. We are leaving the quarantine and the solitude of our homes to return to “the big world” out there. We have a choice, a second chance if you will. Which road will I choose to walk on this time? Lots of good out there to choose from. Lots of good to bring out there with me. Plenty of stuff from the
world before corona that I definitely need to stay away from.
This past Shabbat our neighbor Reb Chananya Schwartz, the Holy Dancer, gave over a beautiful Torah based on the Holy Zohar (Zohar, 2 page 95), which is so right on to our current life situation.” The “sitra achra,” other side, starts out by connecting to us and ends up leaving us fractionalized.” When I simply jump in and attach myself to the outside world, because “that’s what we do,” than in essence, I am detaching from my inner self. I
haven’t gained a true sense of who I am and where I am going to. I must build relationships that are not purely selfish, but rather seek out ones for the sake of true friendship and the sake of the “klal.” Is what I am doing now good for my friend or associate? Is this going to be something everlasting and positive for my family and people? This might feel good today, but will it be of value tomorrow?
WOW!!! He summed it up nicely, He was a righteous man!!!
Louise enjoyed Root Source and had this to say:

WOW!!! He summed it up nicely, He was a righteous man!!! I had tears when watching that, there are many GOOD men in this world who go about their daily lives quietly but with strength. Sadly we hear more about the evil rather than the good!! A great man to call a ‘mate’. A brother in arms who stood by his comrades no matter their creed or colour of their skin understanding that beneath their skin, they were
all representing their homeland, the USA.
