THE PORTION OF KI TEITZEI
This week’s portion Ki Teitzei Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19, covers an array of commandments for a variety of circumstances, from marriage and relationships to caring for the less fortunate. Some of the commandments pertain to man’s relationship with God, but most of them address the relationship between fellow humans. Like the rest of the book of Deuteronomy, this is part of Moses’s farewell address to the people, and in it he touches on
a number of events which happened during their sojourn in the desert, including the war with Amalek.

Islam - Insights and Deceptions
2 - Peace
In this lesson, Avi Lipkin explains Deception number two, which is that Islam is a Religion of Peace.
NOTE: the last 2 minutes of this teaching contains a particular story of atrocities in Algeria in the name of Islam, for which parental guidance is suggested. We rate this brief story as PG.

Interview: Britt Lode – 3 – The Light from Zion
Root Source interviews Britt Lode from Norway and learn about her life and passion for light in many forms.
In part 3, she tells the story behind The Light from Zion.
Getting Ready for Elul Like Never Before
Chodesh Tov! The month of Elul has arrived and it’ s significance is upon us like never before. Hashem has been calling out to us over the past six months “b’kol ram,” with a great voice. The time has come for us to respond.
“Ani L’dodi v’dodi li.” (I am to my beloved and my beloved is to me.) This saying is an acronym with the letters of the word “Elul.” The Slonimer Rebbe points out that is not just a simple sign for us to see, but it is the essence of the “t’shuvah,” returning to God, that we need to be ready to work on in the coming forty days (The month Elul + 10 days of t’shuvah, from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Hakippurim). This giant task that lays in
front of us is not simply my personal commitment to get rid of my past sins, however it requires a much deeper and higher level of commitment. The Rebbe continues, “when someone steals from his friend and subsequently returns the stolen item, even if you want to say that now it is as if he did not steal, where has this person grown as it relates to his personal “t’shuvah,” growth? What internal commitment has he/she made to assure a higher spiritual growth for the future? Therefore, I need to
realize that the main work of doing “t’shuvah,” is much higher than simply leaving that error behind. Real “t’shuvah” lies in the concept of “Ani l’dodi,” I am to my beloved. I need to connect myself to my beloved, my Creator and not simply return to who I was before.
Root Source Thank You So Much!
Our student Bonnie enjoyed Root Source and had this to say:
Dear Rabbi Gedalia Meyers,
What a blessing you are. I am going through your lessons on the Jewish Image of GOD. Wow! I feel I am seeing GOD for the first time. I see HIM, or should I say HIS BEING more clearly. Thank you for reading and giving a literal translation of what is actually written in Torah. I am learning so much. Getting to know WHO GOD really is. This information is not readily found in churches in Canada. I Thank
You All at Root Source for sharing GOD with us. May your generosity be met with HIS Blessings.
I have also started other lessons with Root Source. All I thing about all day is getting back to my lessons.
Root Source Thank You Soooo Much.
Sincerely bonnie
