Roots of Faith

I recently attended the 65th Annual United Israel World Union Conference, held in Charlotte, North Carolina.  It was a wonderful and refreshing conference filled with exciting speakers and interesting people from literally all over.  Below I am attaching the program so that you can see some of what made this an incredible meeting.

The audio of my class from this conference is attached to this blog entry.  The Video is available on Arba4 at this link - http://arba4.com/category/roots-of-faith/rof-weekly-lesson.

Shalom, Ross

For those that are interested, the 2nd of 4 classes on the “Return of Israel” in which I appear with Joe Good, has been published on the Universal Torah Network’s website. A link to the shows appears on my website. In these classes, Joe and I discuss this topic extensively.

 Podcast Video [28:34m]: Download

Joseph Good, who was a pioneer of the ‘return to Hebrew Roots movement’ in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, explains his current thoughts on the path of return for those who seek to turn to the Torah. Joseph talks from the heart concerning his current thoughts, beliefs and personal life for those who think they are of the lost tribes (or anyone), outlining the mindset and way of the Torah, and whole Bible as it relates to today. What he has found, describes and teaches is not what you usually hear. You will not want to miss his thought provoking talk, straight from the scriptures and current news.
Even if you don’t think you are a “lost tribe member”, but want to turn/return to The Way, this message will explain some things that must be considered on a basic level.

As a side note, as we are able to recover from the technical difficulties we experienced recording the conference, more will be made available, including commentary from Ross Nichols, the faithful leader of RootsOfFaith.org. [staff]
