Inspiration from Zion from Jonathan Feldstein

Kabbalat Shabbat – Receiving the Sabbath – is the most musical of all the traditional Jewish daily prayers, set aside for Friday night at the beginning of the Sabbath. It consists mostly of singing Psalms; 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 29, in Hebrew. There’s a special theme and messages in praying these Psalms together, and they form a foundation for Jews and Christians to celebrate Shabbat together along with many other traditions. See why it’s also the practice of the Genesis 123 Foundation to offer unique Shabbat experiences together, and how you can participate.

What are the Top Ten reasons why Christians should support Israel? For many, supporting Israel is intuitive based on faith and political and other views, but not always with a clear foundation about why. Al McCarn’s new book, “Christian Zionism 101” is a well documented, easy read, explaining that. For those who already understand the imperative, this is the why. For those who question support for Israel, it is critical to understand.

The war against Hamas never really ended even though there was a temporary cease fire that did end at the beginning of the month, but active combat has surely begun again. Israel has attacked Hamas, the US has attacked the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel again, and Iran is in the driver’s seat and in the crosshairs, Violence in Syria with the current Islamic leadership targeting and massacring Christians and Alawites, may turn many factions into warring enemies with risk of spilling over to Israel as well. All this is while the IDF Homefront Command has issued orders for Israelis to have their bomb shelters outfitted and stocked in case of emergency, and there are an array of domestic issues that complement and compound the international issues.· PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.GENESIS123.CO For information about and how to register for Root & Branch, please go to www.RootandBranchIsrael.comConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com

For the last 46 years, the Iranian Islamic Republic has been singularly responsible for inspiring and funding a vast network of terror around the world. Tens if not hundreds of thousands have been killed, including in Iran and throughout the Middle East. Nowhere is this more true than in Israel where Iran itself, and multiple Iranian proxies have targeted and attacked Israel for decades. Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis are the main culprits. As Iran still working toward the means to build a nuclear weapon which would threaten Israel, and the Saudis and others. Conventional wisdom is that they could break out in weeks. This would be a game changer throughout the Middle East and the world. Despite its proxies being weakened, can Iran be counted out? · PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.GENESIS123.CO

Yardena Schwartz is an Emmy-nominated journalist and author of “Ghosts of a Holy War: The 1929 Massacre in Palestine That Ignited the Arab-Israeli Conflict.” This work of narrative nonfiction tells the gripping story of a young American, David Shainberg, who was one of the 67 Jews murdered in the 1929 Hebron massacre, the aftershocks of which continue to plague Israel one century later and are especially haunting in light of the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre of 1200. Join this conversation to hear what led up to the Hebron massacre almost 100 years ago and what took place that horrific day, how David ended up in Hebron from Memphis to begin with and his own reports from the Holy Land, and how the similarities then to the massacre of 2023 remind us that Israel’s enemies are unrelenting and whether there is any hope for the future.· PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.GENESIS123.CO Connect with Yardena and get your copy of “Ghosts of a Holy War: at www.yardenaschwartz.comFor information about and how to register for Root & Branch, please go to www.RootandBranchIsrael.comConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II just visited Washington to meet with President Trump. All eyes are on Jordan as it harbors a convicted terrorist, Ahlam Tamimi, who was sentenced to prison after masterminding the 2001 bombing of the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem. Tamimi was released from Israeli prison to her native Jordan as part of the deal to free captured Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit. She has been roaming free since. In fact she is a celebrity in Jordan and the Arab world as presenter of her own TV show beamed throughout Jordan and all over the world. One of the children murdered by Tamimi’s savagery was 15-year-old Malki Roth, one of two American murdered that day. Today, Tamimi is America’s most wanted female fugitive with a $5 million reward on her head. Arnold Roth is Malki’s father and his words are urgent, compelling, and insightful.

The ceasefire/hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas is having the remarkable and celebrated results in securing the release of many Israeli hostages. The first phase of this deal calls for Hamas to release 33 hostages in captivity for nearly 500 days, and for Israel to release nearly 2000 Palestinian Arab terrorists, some serving multiple life sentences for killing dozens of people. Many of the terrorists are not just bad guys, but masterminds of massive terrorist attacks. What is Israel thinking? How can Israel guarantee the safety of its citizens with these terrorists back out on the street? How is the release of these terrorists impacting the families of the victims? What legal issues does this all raise? In the week of the 46th anniversary of the Iranian Islamic revolution, what has become the largest global supporter of terror and financier of these and other terror groups, what can be done on the legal battlefield to shut down terror and its funding altogether?

As jaws are still being picked up from the floor, pundits are commenting, and world leaders are chastising the nature and comments that came out of this week’s Trump-Netanyahu meeting and public comments. Under the microscope are questions of the substance, the practicality, the nuance, and proposing things never been proposed before. President Trump declared that Gaza should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people who have created such disaster and bad luck there for so long. He doubled down on the idea of relocating Gazans to other countries with humanitarian hearts to build places for them to end the death and destruction to which they have been subjected.

Pastor Mark Biltz and Dr. Victoria Sarvadi unpack Carter’s antisemitic tendencies from a theological perspective, and give insight to his advocacy for a Palestinian Arab state, calling Israel an apartheid state, justifying terrorism against Israel, and blaming Jews for his electoral loss in 1980.

This past week we woke up one day and found that the Assad dictatorship that controlled Syria for nearly six decades was gone. Islamist rebels had overrun Damascus and Aleppo and President Assad fled to Russia. It’s widely unclear what will be the future of Syria and its citizens, particularly the minorities. And while Turkey currently has an upper hand and Iranian and Russian presence has been weakened, it’s unclear what will be. It’s also unclear how this will impact Israel which has acted boldly to obliterate remains of the Syrian army. Who is in charge and what will be? We discuss this and more with Dr. Josef Olmert, a decades long expert on Syria.

Since October 7, 2023 when terrorists massacred 1200 people, raping, sexually mutilating, burning alive, killing parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents, and kidnapping more than 250 of whom 115 are still hostages.

Recently, she joined a group we hosted to visit the Gaza border, to bear witness for herself about the massacre that took place on October 7. She produced her own video commentary for her vlog “Oriel in Israel” that was so good, today we’re going to “watch” it through her eyes. Today we experience it with her, through her eyes.

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 else. With so many outright lies, half-truths, sweeping generalizations and more, it’s necessary to set the record straight and debunk these. Join us as we do that with a panel of people who know Rev. Isaac, know his “theology,” and understand the nuance of the Tucker Carlson – Munther Isaac tag team.

This is just a sample of some of the important teachings, personal testimonies, and inspiring prayers.

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 homicidal Islamic maniacs, while facing seething antisemitism on American campuses and throughout western cities worldwide. To cope with the new reality, the grief, the trauma, and suffering, we look to the Torah and prophecies for hints, and we look at our role models of the past to help steady our faith in the present, and future. Rabbi Moshe Taragin offers deep insight and counsel based on his experience, learning, and recent book.

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 distraction for the bigger problem. Like the five stones that King David took to fight Goliath, targeting only the giant's head, that's what needs to happen to take down the Islamic regime, and with it all the proxies that it funds.Connect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com.

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 hostages still kidnapped in Gaza, and thousands of dead and injured, and most Israelis traumatized in one way or another. Join Rabbi Ken Spiro for an intense and insightful conversation about this phenomena and why this Passover is different from all other Passovers.PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.LOVE.GENESIS123.COConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123F

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, much less all Jews will come home? Hillel Fuld and Rabbi Hayim Leiter are two critical thinkers with unique perspectives casting important light on this conversation of prophetic proportions.

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 literally in the trenches. And they see God’s presence often. Join us for an insightful and inspiring conversation. PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.LOVE.GENESIS123.COConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com.  --

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 and Christians around the world who stand with Israel and who are no less pained by the daily events.  It’s a long conversation that was therapeutic and helpful to me, and I pray it will be for you as well. PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.LOVE.GENESIS123.COConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com

Dr. Rollan Roberts is a Republican candidate for President of the United States. You may have never heard of him, but you want to hear from him. As a Christian, his faith guides his views and policies, and this is especially the case as it relates to supporting Israel and countering antisemitism and threats of Islamic terror. He makes a compelling case as to why he should be elected, noting that relating to Israel and other policies Americans should have a leader who is rooted in principles not in polls or politics. PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.LOVE.GENESIS123.COConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com.

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 who also is campaigning within his own party? John Haller and Jonathan Tobin are noted journalists and well-informed observers of US domestic issues, the campaign, and Israel and the Middle East.  This conversation took place following the New Hampshire primary. New issues have come up but the prism through which to look at the issue are the same. Join us to hear what we need to look for as the campaign and the war each heat up. PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.LOVE.GENESIS123.COConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com.

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 from urgent domestic issues ahead of their upcoming national election? With a government that cozies up to Iran, Russia and Hamas, shamelessly, why does it even matter and what is Israel’s response? Join a power panel with Major Daughter, Kathy Kaler, and Rolene Marks to unpack this all and look at what may come as a result.
