Tetzaveh – Exodus 27:20 – 30:10
Roots of Faith 27 Feb 2010 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
This week Ross teaches from Torah portion Tetzaveh, but also speaks on the significance of the special reading for this week. This is a special Sabbath called Shabbat Zachor (the Sabbath of Remembrance). What is it that we are supposed to remember on this day? This special reading is always read on the Sabbath before Purim. The story of Purim is recorded in the book of Esther and recounts how an enemy sought to destroy the Jewish people. Of course the evil plot is thwarted but nonetheless, the lesson is delivered on the very day that the evil decree from Haman – a descendant of Amalek is issued. So Ross begins by reminding the people about the command to blot out the remembrance of Amalek. He also shows that this same spirit of Amalek has been waging war against God’s Kingdom from the beginning of time.
From the Torah reading, Ross explores the biblical idea of the Messiah. You will not want to miss this class called, Making Messiahs. In the end he ties it all together.

Terumah – Exodus 25:1 – 27:18
Roots of Faith 20 Feb 2010 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
In this class, Ross teaches on the subject of the Mishkan (tabernacle), but there is MUCH more to this class. Basing his lesson on Exodus 25:8-9. He works through the meaning and purpose of the Miqdash (holy place), a term used to describe both the Temple and the Tabernacle. What was the meaning behind these? What can we learn? The Torah spends more time on the subject of the mishkan than any other subject in the Torah. There must be a reason. You will not want to miss this class.

Mishpatim – Exodus 21:1-24:18

In this class, Ross teaches on the Liberty that comes from following the Torah. The class is based upon the Torah reading called Mishpatim. The name means “Judgments”.
Ross also brings in an interesting connection between the birth of Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809) and this Torah reading. The day before Abraham Lincoln was born, this Torah reading was read in synagogues around the world. One of the main points in this week’s Torah portion deals with Slaves. The reading from the prophets makes this point as well. Could there be a connection? You will not want to miss this class!

Jeremy Gimpel Speaking at Temple Sinai
Syndicated 10 Feb 2010 | : Syndicated
Jeremy Gimpel, an internationally known TV, radio and internet personality is coming to Saint Francisville – all the way from Jerusalem, Israel! Jeremy is a host on some of Israel’s most popular television and radio shows; Tuesday Night Live in Jerusalem, A Light Unto the Nations – aired on Israel National Radio and The Singer and Gimpel Show, aired in over 100 Million homes across North America!
Jeremy is in the United States to educate people about Israel, the prophetic ingathering of the exiles (the return of the so called “lost tribes” of Israel) and the importance of Israel in the future of humanity.
He and his co-hosts have dedicated their lives to Israel, the Jewish people and the dream of Zionism. They seek to unite others who stand for these same goals by sharing their visionary message in the mass media and through public lectures. Their sometimes controversial and always entertaining presentations stand in opposition to the mainstream media’s negative view of life in Israel. Rather than presenting Israel as a place of terror and fear, Jeremy and his co-hosts set the record straight by sharing an optimistic view of life in the land of Israel.
Jeremy and his co-hosts have taken the Biblical mission of “being a light unto the nations” to heart and have devoted themselves to sharing this mission through their inspiring message. They seek to build bridges between Jews and non-Jews based upon a shared and common vision of Jewish history and Biblical values.
For more information on Jeremy Gimpel, see his website at www.thelandofisrael.com. The lecture is scheduled for February 11, 2010 at 7:30 P.M. Central Standard Time from Temple Sinai Synagogue in Saint Francisville, Louisiana (4740 Prosperity Street). Roots of Faith is hosting this event and invites all those who love Israel to attend.
There is no charge for admission, but attendees are encouraged to contribute to Jeremy’s organization.
