You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm
16:11

This portion Devarim Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22, marks the beginning of the final book of the Torah. After leading the Children of Israel valiantly through the desert for forty years, Moses prepares to part from the people. What follows in the book of Deuteronomy is his farewell speech, delivered over the final six weeks of his life.
Build a New Home in the Heartland of Israel
Hagar and Peretz are getting married.
This is the second time around for both of them, together they have three little girls from previous marriages.
Now with much more life experience, true love and blessings from above they are going to build a home that will be a temple.
We have the opportunity to participate and support building a home in the hills of Hebron in Judea in the same places that King David scouted with his might men.
By doing this we are partnering in at least three great Mitzvot, establishing a family, building a home in the Heartland and redeeming the Land of Israel.
Peretz is a builder by trade and is building this home with his own two hands and with help from friends like you.
Because this is on a hilltop neighborhood there is no way for them to receive a bank mortgage, so all of the costs of materials must be paid in cash.
In this campaign we are aiming to raise $15,000 to help cover those costs and set off the new family on the right foot.
Please consider being a partner to this important goal.

Just before beginning I want to share with you our great joy that this Shabbat, 26 Tammuz, Bezrat Hashem, we will be celebrating 27 years of life in Eretz Yisrael. We look forward to you all joining us very soon.
This week’s Torah portion, the second of a double portion, “Matot-Masei,” Travels, begins by what seems to be a simple listing of the 42 stops that the “B’nai Yisrael” made in the desert as they made their way on the exodus from “Mitzraim” to entering the Holy Land of Israel. I recently saw a deep teaching in a book called “Degel Macahneh Efraim” (The Flag of the Camp of Efraim), written by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Efraim, grandson of The Holy
Baal Shem Tov. He quotes his grandfather as giving over that in everyone’s journey in life there are 42 “spiritual encampments,” mirroring the 42 stops that “B’nai Yisrael” made in the desert as they prepared to enter “Eretz Yisrael.” Just like “B’nai Yisrael” left “mitzraim,” so we go out of our mother’s womb and head out on our journey of life which eventually culminates to our return to the holiness of our Creator in heaven. Once again, as the Slonimer Rebbe quotes the teaching of The Ohev
Yisrael, The Opter Rav, “The Holy Torah is eternally alive in our lifetime and forever.”
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and understanding with me!
Our student enjoyed Root Source and had this to say:
Shalom Rivkah,
I am Jennifer Barnard from Barbados and I am following your teachings.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and understanding with me. You have opened a door that challenges me as a christian for i am being exposed to the Torah which is very exciting while challenging my faith.
As you continue to explain and reinforce with each lesson, it becomes clearer. Thank you.
My comment relates to lesson #4. I agree that they both failed to accept responsibility for their actions. This pattern of behaviour is very evident among us today.This is a major factor in the breakdown of family structures, etc. It is an interesting concept regarding the underlying reason for the questions which God asked them both where He expected them to acknowledge their disobedience. I have read
this portion of Scripture and heard many teachings many times before but this was never revealed nor taught. It reveals the heart of Yahweh. Thank you.
The introduction of the actual fruit eaten and the original body of Adam and Chava. Could you kindly elaborate a bit more especially related to their "original body”. Very interesting.
Thank you so very much for sharing. Words cannot express my deep gratitude.
Shalom
Jennifer
