Inspiration from Zion from Jonathan Feldstein

Did you ever hear about Tisha B’Av, the ninth day of the Biblical month of Av? Throughout history, numerous calamities have befallen the Jewish people on this date including the destruction of BOTH Temples in Jerusalem, the Inquisition, the Final Solution, and most recently the forced withdrawal of all Jewish communities from Gaza in 2005. Since then, a group of righteous Christians have begun to...

Tucker Carlson’s recent episode of his “Uncensored” program with notoriously anti-Israel Palestinian Arab Christian, Rev. Munther Isaac has been described as a modern antisemitic blood libel. His 43-minute diatribe with Rev. Isaac was the definition of antisemitism by delegitimizing Israel, demonization of Israel, and applying double standards to Israel that nobody does or would apply to anyone el...

The event was unprecedented and inspiring on many levels. The Global Prayer for Israel spanned six hours, all over the world, with Jews and Christians coming together in prayer: for the hostages safe return and their families; for the IDF success and safety, and the families of the soldiers and new widows and orphans; and for God to change our enemies hearts. This is just a sample of some of the i...

Nothing could have prepared us for the nightmarish horrors of Oct 7th. The Jewish people and State of Israel were brutally attacked by barbarians bent on murder, rape, and destruction. We witnessed unspeakable horrors we thought were relics of our tortured past in exile. Nothing will ever be the same. Dark clouds have descended upon us, and our faith is being severely tested. We are battling homic...

With the war against Hamas in its seventh month, Hezbollah firing rockets at Israel several times a day, the Houthis hijacking international shipping from Yemen, and much more, Marziyeh (Marzi) Amirizadeh has written a provocative article reminding the world that the root of these problems is the Islamic regime in Iran, that it is the head of the octopus whose tentacles are serving as a convenient...

In a year of experiencing national and intense personal trauma throughout Israel, and the first time since 1948 that Israel finds itself at war while celebrating Passover, Israelis in specific, Jews around the world, and Israel’s Christian allies are all experiencing Passover differently this year. How do we celebrate the Biblical festival of our liberation from Egypt while still at war, with 133...

Israel is the historic and eternal homeland of the Jewish people, yet 75 years after becoming a state, still millions of Jews live overseas, in the diaspora. Why is it imperative that Jews come home now, especially now, in the wake of the war? Is it game over for Jews in the diaspora ? What’s holding Jews back from coming home, and what can be done to expedite this? Is it even realistic that most,...

John Riley is a veteran journalist and long time host of the Middle East Report. Few journalists outside of Israel have his hand on the pulse of life and events here as much as he does. Wrapping up an intensive trip in which he witnessed and learned a lot, in what he says is his most significant trip ever, we get to experience Israel through his eyes, with his tremendous wealth of knowledge. You c...

Israel is un the midst of its biggest national trauma in at least 50 years if not ever. Many Israelis have turned to their faith and a deeper connection to God and religious observance. Despite the horrors, many are seeing God’s hand in subtle and more obvious miracles in the war. Rabbis Ari Haber and Netanel Weil are both military rabbis who have done their reserve service since October 7 literal...

Dr. David Nehring is a friend and asked one day, how I was doing and could he help. I don’t talk openly about my feelings and stresses dealing with the war in Israel, nor do I hide these. This led to an important conversation that was so helpful personally, it was instinctive that we needed to have a wider conversation, to help Israelis struggling with the daily reality of the war, and both Jews a...

He makes a compelling case as to why he should be elected, noting that r...

(res) Elliott Chodoff offers insights to the successes, failures, and challenges of the war so far, and implications and projections looking ahead. How will Israel finish in Gaza with Hamas, how and when to deal with the necessity to eliminate...

The US Presidential election is in full swing, and Israel is at war. From a distance, the two may not seem to be so connected. However the nature of the campaign and US support for Israel does risk impacting how Israel is able to carry out the war against Hamas. How will the two remaining Republican candidates use this in their favor, and what are the risks and possibilities for President Biden wh...

The government of South Africa filed charges against Israel in the International Court of Justice for genocide. Why is South Africa, with enough of its own problems from crime, murder, unemployment, lack of energy, perpetual droughts, and more social problems is spearheading baseless charges against Israel? How are charges of genocide against Israel being used to deflect South African’s attention...

Nearly 100 days have passed. Rachel and her husband Jon have traveled the world, leaving no stone unturned, making every effort to bring Hersh home. Her efforts have been superhuman, but for a mother, probably natural....

As of the air date of this episode, there are still some 130 hostages held in captivity by Hamas in Gaza.

Aryeh Green is an intelligent writer and gifted communicator, and we address one of the most horrible issues in Israeli society today: the uncondition...

In the aftermath of the war that’s far from over, some of the most long term trauma will be felt by children and their parents. As parents, it’s our job to protect our children but in war, and when your community is bombarded by rockets and overrun by terrorists, the trauma for parents not being able to protect their children and for the children is many times greater. This is all the more for chi...
