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

Simchat Torah or Simhat Torah, which we celebrated about two weeks ago, celebrates and marks the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle.

Gidon Ariel is back on the Running Wagon! Read below.

The Lighting Up the Nations book by Dr. Rivka Adler will have a Virtual Book Launch in a month. Check details below to register!

This week, our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer talked about "Noach." Check it below.

We are delighted to share this lesson "Proverbs Ch 1 Verses 10-19" from our course "Proverbs Chapter 1" with our great Teacher Rabbi Aryeh Leifert.

Gidon answered the question about how one who simply agrees to a blessing can possibly be greater than the person who actually recites the blessing in the first place. Check it below.

We sign off with a beautiful photo of Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, Israel.

Shalom,

Simchat Torah

Following the seven joyous days of Sukkot, we come to the happy holiday of Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah.

In the diaspora, the first day is known by its biblical name, Shemini Atzeret. We still dwell in the sukkah, but without a blessing. Yizkor, the memorial for the departed, is also said on this day.

Gidon Ariel is back on the Running Wagon!

Please help me reach my goals!
Roots: https://campaigns.causematch.com/roots/12726
Crossroads: https://www.crossroadsjerusalem.org/campaigns/gidon-ariel/

Over the past fifteen or so years, Gidon has been running 10 kilometer tracks off and on. The marathon (an half marathon, and quarter marathon:-) culture is pretty developed here in Israel, and there are dozens of such official runs all over the country throughout the year. Some of them are utilized by charitable causes to encourage the runners and their friends to support the causes.

This month, I am running for two causes: "Roots" in Gush Etzion (between my home and Jerusalem), and "Crossroads" in the Jerusalem Marathon.
I have pledged to raise $250 for Roots, which is an organization dedicated to dialogue between Arabs and Jews in Israel and especially Judea and Samaria (the West Bank); and $500 for Crossroads, which provides programs for teens and young adults at risk in Israel.

Please help me reach my goals!

Lesson 3: Proverbs Ch 1 verses 10-19

Rabbi Aryeh Leifert comments on 10 verses of Proverb 1:10-19. First he discusses the interaction and influences between right and wrong – between sinners and those who do not want to sin. He then goes on to explains the Jewish view of ambush, of Sheol, of the way sinnners justify their decisions, the way they recruit to their cause.

We get so many comments!

Here is one from one of our readers:
"Dear Rabbi Adler, I’ve certainly enjoyed your 30-day series. Perhaps you could do another one sometime. I didn’t feel “preached at.” Quite the opposite. I retained much more because it was mostly in story form. I also enjoyed your root-source lessons, along the same lines. I was thinking about Day 28. What about, “He was loved by all who knew him?. God bless you and Rivka, and all your family members."
