Keeping It Israel

In this exciting conversation, Jeff talks to Omri Toppol of Temple Mount Soil (https://www.templemountsoil.com) a business developed to raise funds for the Temple Mount Sifting Project in Jerusalem and to get the precious soil that was carelessly removed from the Temple Mount into the hands of those who really care about it. When Muslim authorities of the Temple Mount permitted 250 Truck loads - over 5000 tons -  of soil to be removed from the Temple Mount and dumped in the Kidron Valley without any proper archaeological excavation, the Temple Mount Sifting Project began. Since then, Archaeologists and volunteers have been carefully sifting through the discarded soil and have discovered 600,000 precious artifacts, many of which are directly linked to biblical and Jewish history on the Temple Mount. Although the soil from the Temple Mount is considered "garbage" to Muslim authorities on the Temple Mount, it is precious to those who revere and respect Jewish and biblical history on that sacred Mount - the holiest place in Judaism and a site that has special value to Jesus and to Christians everywhere. In order to raise funds to continue the excavation process, Omri has founded TMS which collects certified soil from the Temple Mount that was discarded, and markets it to those who treasure biblical history. Learn more about Temple Mount Soil here!

In this episode of "Keeping it Israel" (First Century Foundations' Podcast) Jeff talks to Bob O'Dell, a high-tech entrepreneur and a returning guest (and friend!). Through this insightful conversation, Bob explains why Christians SHOULD be using ArtificiaI Intelligence right now as much as possible, in order to shape the future of AI. He explains that the prophet Daniel foretold the development of AI in a very specific way that is being fulfilled right now. Interestingly, this prophecy began being fulfilled rapidly since Israel conquered Jerusalem in 1967. Bob is passionate about encouraging Christians to use AI because it is shaping the future of not only Israel's physical war, but also the virtual propaganda war that is shaping world opinion right now. According to Bob, AI has powerful potential to spread Truth about the Israeli conflict, but only if it is utilized by Christians and Truth-Tellers, especially those who uphold biblical values. Bob is co-founder of Root Source and organization that exists to enable, encourage, and enrich relationships between pro-Israel Christians and Jews on a basis of mutual respect and love.Learn more about Bob O'Dell here. Purchase Bob O'Dell's Book (Five Years with Orthodox Jews) here.Learn more about Root Source here. Support the showIf you enjoy our podcast, please consider supporting the show HERE so that our Bible-based message about Israel can continue.

In this episode of our "Battle for Truth" podcast series, Jeff talks to Aaron and Dani, a Jewish couple who both grew up in Toronto, Canada. Today, the couple is living in Toronto at a time when antisemitism is reaching new heights, such as they have never known before. Dani's grandparents were expelled from Iraq and her other grandparents narrowly escaped Poland, so Dani is familiar with what antisemitism can lead to. Why is antisemitism rising? Why did it rise so drastically after October 7th - a ruthless massacre that should have evoked deep empathy from the West for Israel who was victim to Hamas' atrocities? Why is such a double-standard being applied to Israel and the Jewish people? How should Christians respond to this rise in antisemitism?

In this interview, Jeff talks to Robert J. Wolf MD, author of "Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man's Fight for Freedom." Published by Amsterdam Publishers, this 4-time award winning book is based on Robert's family's history, first living under the Nazis, and then under the communist regime in Hungary. In 1944, almost half a million Jewish Hungarians were deported to Auschwitz. Among the few surviving Hungarian Jews of this era was Robert's father, Ervin Wolf, who was conscripted into the brutal Forced Labor Service, cut off from the outside world, and ordered to endure inhumane brutalities and servitude. Once freed, a new oppression took hold as communist rule under Stalin turned friends to foes, enveloping Hungary with fear and suspicion, testing everyone's character and strength. Robert's book is an exciting page-turner that has a lot of relevance at this particular time in history.To learn more and purchase Robert's book CLICK HERE.Support the Show.If you enjoy our podcast, please consider supporting the show HERE so that our Bible-based message about Israel can continue.

In this episode of Keeping it Israel's BATTLE FOR TRUTH series, Jeff talks to Bob O'Dell, co-founder of Root Source about what Israel's war with Hamas means through a Biblical lens. How are Christians finding meaning in Israel's war with Hamas? Are they finding any at all? Is this war an example of Psalm 83? Is it signs of Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38/39)? And who were the Amalekites in the Bible... does this war relate to them in any way? These are some of the questions addressed in this thought-provoking conversation. Jeff and Bob also highlight that it is critical for Christians to stand with Israel and "hold up Israel's arms" during this war,  as they simultaneously show strong solidarity with Jewish people everywhere who are currently experiencing a rise in antisemitism like never before.

In this interview, Jeff talks to Sondra Baras about the legitimacy of the Jewish claim to the Land of Israel, and in particular, the area referred to as "The West Bank". Sondra explains why the "West Bank" should only be called "Judea and Samaria" and she unpacks why it is inappropriate to refer to her  - or anyone else in her community - as a "Settler" because of the legal and biblical right all Jews have  - and have always had - to the heartland of Israel. Sondra Oster Baras is an Orthodox Jew, born and raised in the US.  She and her husband moved to Israel in 1984, and shortly thereafter, she became an active spokes-person for the communities of Judea and Samaria. In 1998, Sondra Baras founded CFOIC Heartland, a Christian organization which focuses exclusively on the communities in the heartland of Biblical Israel. CFOIC Heartland raises funds for these communities,and they are the primary resource for connecting Christians from all over the world to the people of Biblical Israel. In September 2023, Sondra Oster Baras retired as Director of CFOIC-Israel and assumed the position of International President. She and her husband Edward raised five children in Karnei Shomron, where they still reside today. In her spare time, Baras enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, and studies and teaches Bible, her greatest passion.First Century Foundations is a Charity that supports ministries in Jerusalem and many other parts of the country of Israel.

In this episode of our BATTLE FOR TRUTH podcast series, Jeff talks to Itamar Marcus, Founder and Director of Palestinian Media Watch, one of the foremost authorities on Palestinian ideology and policy. Marcus was appointed by the Israeli government to represent Israel in negotiations on incitement with the Palestinian Authority in 1999. He makes regular presentations to legislators, governments, and other decision-makers about PA leaders, education, sports, etc. His book Deception was acclaimed by the founder of Human Rights Watch, Robert Bernstein, as "one of the most important books you handle in your lives.” Itamar has been seeing the events of October 7th coming for quite some time because of his exposure to Palestinian media and propaganda. Even small children under the Palestinian Authority are indoctrinated to hate Israel and the Jewish people, and be willing to sacrifice their lives to kill them. There is no hope for peace unless people truly care enough for the Palestinian people to do something about this.

In this episode of our "Keeping it Israel" podcast, Dr. Susan Schmidt (PhD Hebrew Bible Manuscripts) talks to Jeff about the meticulous, skilled and seemingly worshipful way in which Jewish scribes transmitted the Hebrew Bible.

She is particularly interested in these manuscripts as material witnesses to our faith.

Clyde and Marion Williamson and birthed out of prayer and a burning desire to bless the land and people of Israel through the love of God. Since then, the organization has grown to include teaching believers about the Hebraic roots of Christianity, expanding this message to digital media and reaching out to those who do not yet know Christ. In 2020, the vision was enlarged again and First Century Foundations USA was launched to bring the same challenge for prayer and blessing the land and people of Israel to partners in the United States.Support the showIf you enjoy our podcast, please consider supporting the show HERE so that our Bible-based message about Israel can continue.
