Hi {{ subscriber.first_name | capitalize() or "friend" }},
This week’s portion Deuteronomy 11:26–16:17 shows how Moses told the Israelites that he set before them blessing and curse: blessing if they obeyed God's commandments and curse if they did not obey but turned away to follow other gods.
Let's watch Connecting With The Jews To Understand God’s Word by Bob O’Dell. Watch it below.
This week, our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer talked about Eikev. Check it below.
We are delighted to share this lesson “Why are Young People So Idealistic & How to Stay Young?” – Redefining Education and Childhood from our course "Topics in Jewish Thought". Learn from Rabbi Ari Shvat.

This week’s portion 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.
Connecting With The Jews To Understand God’s Word by Bob O’Dell
If there was ever a speaker that aligns best with the mission of Just Among Friends, it is most definitely Bob O’Dell and his new book, Five Years with Orthodox Jews. Even more, Chapter 20 best encapsulates their efforts.
Eikev: Rabbi Gedalia Meyer's Weekly Torah Study
Our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer has been giving short weekly teaching on the Weekly Portion for the Temple Institute.
“Why are Young People So Idealistic & How to Stay Young?” – Redefining Education and Childhood
The class examines why young people are especially idealistic, and how the goal is not to become “adulterated” and lose that idealism with age.
Gidon discusses Elul, the Hebrew month of Repentance. Watch the video below!
Last year Gidon had a Zoom gathering with the Bethany Center in McKinney Texas, instead of going there in person as he had been doing for years until Covid struck.
There is so much craziness going on around all of us, all over the world. So many people are feeling despair, alone and even helpless. Don’t despair. Raise your head up high. You must hear this extremely critical and Biblical message.
We get so many unsolicited comments and compliments! Here is one from our readers:
"I feel like I’m encountering something authentic."
