Hi {{ subscriber.first_name | capitalize() or "friend" }},
Sukkot, is a Torah-commanded Jewish and Samaritan holiday celebrated for seven days from the 15th day of the month of Tishrei. It is one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals on which those Israelites who could were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple at Jerusalem.
Last year, our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer talked about "The Festival of Sukkot". Check it below.
We are delighted to share this lesson "Sukkot 2016: Part 1" from our course "Yom Kippur and Sukkot" with our great teacher Gidon Ariel. Learn from Gidon Ariel.
Eliyahu Berkowitz of Israel365 News has just written a groundbreaking article and interestingly, he credits the Root Source book, Five Years with Orthodox Jews, and his relationship with Bob O'Dell and Rabbi Tuly Weisz of Israel365 News as inspiration for this idea. Check it below.
Our friends at Israel Collective have produced what they call their, "most important film". See it below.

Sukkot is a weeklong Jewish holiday that comes five days after Yom Kippur. Sukkot celebrates the gathering of the harvest and commemorates the miraculous protection G‑d provided for the children of Israel when they left Egypt. We celebrate Sukkot by dwelling in a foliage-covered booth (known as a
sukkah) and by taking the “Four Kinds” (arba minim), four special species of vegetation.
The Festival of Sukkot:
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.
We are grateful to our friends at the Temple Institute who gave permission to provide Rabbi Meyer’s teachings here too.
Gidon produced an educational video lesson about the holiday of Sukkot. In this lesson, Gidon Ariel, director of Root Source, talks about the biblical holy day of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, and how it is observed in Israel today.
When Christians can finally argue with Jews like true brothers
Eliyahu Berkowitz of Israel365 News has just written a groundbreaking article that perhaps the relationship between Christians and Jews has matured to the point where we can begin to argue with each other.
Holocaust Survivor, Irving's Final Warning
Our friends at Israel Collective have produced what they call their, “most important film.” Irving’s Final Warning is a gripping documentary featuring Holocaust Survivor and recently passed, Irving Roth.
Jerusalem is the ancestral, eternal and undivided capital of Jerusalem for thousands of years.
While our enemies call us occupiers in our ancestral homeland, they have no response when we tell them that King David established Jerusalem as the capital city of the first Jewish Kingdom more than 3,000 years ago!
We get so many unsolicited comments! Here is one from our readers:
"My heart grieves for Israel amid centuries of praying, singing, worshipping, reading and studying Torah, that a gov't would be formed to go against G-d to please the minds and egos of men and nations. This is
unfathomable to Bible believers.
May the G-d who called you to live and be a light to all nations, squelch the plans of these politicians and may G-d choose the gov't, confuse the voices of nations and confound the enemies of Israel.
Gidon, we do not know the meaning of the words of this You Tube prayer, but it captures my heart and I pray with fervor and much heart that G-d would save His people from politics and deception and remember His covenant and love Israel in great mercy and tenderness.
So grateful for centuries of Jewish faithfulness and hope.
May the you tube prayer link below, bless you as it blessed us in this very turbulent critical time. May we be obedient as in the time of Gideon. Trust G-d, choose, and believe.
Kathie and Duane”
