Hello {{ subscriber.first_name | capitalize() or "friend" }},

This portion Re’eh Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17, focuses on changes which will take place upon the people’s entry into Israel.

Root Source is about to launch a fundraising campaign to bless our teachers!

We are delighted to share this lesson from our Proverbially Speaking channel with our great teacher Rabbi Aryeh A. Leifert, "Proverbially Speaking - Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs." If you are not a registered member of Root Source, you can click the link below to sign up for free.

Our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer has begun giving a short weekly teaching on the Weekly Portion for the Temple Institute. We are grateful to our friends at the Temple Institute who have allowed us to provide Rabbi Meyer’s teachings here too.

Root Source interviews Britt Lode from Norway and learn about her life and passion for light in many forms. In part 1, she begins her story in Norway.

Over the last year every couple of weeks we have posted a video from AnaRina Heymann (now Kreisman) until we ran out of videos. But she has just posted a new one called: Seven Weeks of Consolation and the Festival that marks your Return to Zion.

This week, we feature a question from our student Joseph who is asking about the Relationship between Torak and Tanahk. Read Gidon's answer below!

Just Without Hatred. Friends let’s please keep it simple this week. What’s going on in our world is mamash heartbreaking. There is no place for hatred in the Jewish family. Brothers and sisters can’t hate each other.

We sign off with a lovely comment from our student and a beautiful photo of the Jerusalem Contrast

Shalom,

THE PORTION OF RE’EH

This portion Re’eh Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17, focuses on changes which will take place upon the people’s entry into Israel. First, they are told to wipe out all forms of idolatry which remain from the land’s previous inhabitants. They are then told God will set aside a special place for them to serve Him. Moses tells the people how to deal with deceitful people who will try to lead the nation astray from God. He reminds the people of the laws of kosher animals and teaches them about certain tithes. He reiterates certain aspects of the shmitta year and the pilgrimage holidays.

Proverbially Speaking - Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs

Rabbi Aryeh Leifert comments on Proverbs 3:17-18. 1) If acquiring wisdom is not making you into a better person, something is very wrong. What then is the purpose of becoming wise? 2) Wisdom can be a vehicle through which we can get back to the Garden of Eden, and pluck a fruit off the Tree of Life.

Just Without Hatred

This week’s music: https://youtu.be/LFbf7YqcT1Q

Friends let’s please keep it simple this week. What’s going on in our world is mamash heartbreaking. There is no place for hatred in the Jewish family. Brothers and sisters can’t hate each other. Certainly not to do so in public. For that matter I can’t hate you even in the silence of my heart (Vayikra 19.17) nor am I allowed to hate myself (Vayikra 19.18) . Simple I can’t hate you and hatred needs to be put to an end immediately.

Thanks for your website and for sharing your knowledge!!

Our student Charlie enjoyed Root Source and had this to say:

Hi,

Was introduced to your website by a good friend of mine. Both he and I are Christians with a great love for Israel and our Jewish brethren. I've been to Israel once and it was extraordinary. I'm a lay student of the Bible, but I spend a lot of time digging into the Hebrew words, the geography of the Middle East and the culture. I'm always looking for new resources.Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Regards,
Charlie Elkins
