In this powerful Land of Israel Fellowship session from Israel, Jeremy Gimpel reflects on the emotional and spiritual weight of the days between Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut, where national grief meets miraculous rebirth. Ari Abramowitz shares a deeply personal dvar Torah after missing a night of counting the Omer for the first time in years. What begins as a moment of failure becomes a profound spiritual insight: The Hebrew word for “wound” (nega) contains the same letters as “delight” (oneg). The difference is how it's revealed. Through vulnerability, marriage, and faith, Ari explores how setbacks can become gateways to deeper connection with God, with others, and within ourselves. Even in weakness, we remain “Adam” created with divine dignity. This message connects to the larger story unfolding in Israel today: Out of national pain is emerging unity, faith, and a renewed sense of purpose. Also in this episode: The shift from secular to Biblical Zionism The vision of Theodor Herzl The fulfillment of Ezekiel 36 in our time The deeper meaning of holiness as a transcendent life A timely and honest conversation about failure, faith, and the calling of Israel. ✨ Join the Land of Israel Fellowship

Dr. Kenneth Levin has made a career of battling the aggression, canards and outright lies spewed by anti-Israel media, educational institutions and political activists. His newest book focuses on the Jewish communities' self delusion in an era of rapidly rising anti-Semitism. He tells Eve Harow that intense hatred emanating from the far right is sadly expected, but the Jewish leadership identification with and capitulation to ‘progressives', jihadists and black nationalists is naive, appalling and dangerous. His expertise in psychiatry and history combine in this very important book to cogently explain the differences and commonalities of the modern expressions on the oldest hatred. In memory of the 6 million who paid the ultimate price and in honor of the Israelis who will never let it happen again.

In this powerful and deeply personal session of the Land of Israel Fellowship, Ari Abramowitz shares a message in the midst of personal and communal challenges. As we approach Pesach (Passover), Shabbat HaGadol, and Parshat Tzav, this session explores a profound idea: the Exodus is not just a story from the past—it is a living process unfolding within us and around us right now. Through raw reflection, Ari confronts what happens when the identity we rely on is suddenly stripped away. What does it mean when we can no longer be “the one who carries”? And what does it look like to allow Hashem to carry us instead? Woven into this episode are themes of grief, healing, and resilience, including reflections from a house of mourning (shiva), heartfelt prayers for the community, and moving eulogies that illuminate how we carry forward the legacy of those we love. Set against the backdrop of current events in Israel, this episode reveals a timeless pattern: moments of fear, pressure, and uncertainty often precede revelation and redemption. This is an invitation to: Let go of limiting identities Step into the unknown Trust in a deeper unfolding story Because redemption is not just something we remember—it's something we are living.

Bar Ilan professor Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman has just published a Hagadda for Passover. Based on his research on ancient Egypt it's clear that the Torah was written in that context, something Eve Harow experienced when she travelled there with Dr. Berman 3 years ago. They discuss the revolutionary thought of the Torah in varied aspects including freedom for the individual and a personal relationship with our Creator. The book is a timely synthesis of Torah and academia and its beautiful illustrations will draw the younger generation into the Seder as well. His new podcast The Bible Bar will give you a weekly insights into timeless texts. Enjoy and be safe.

Missile sirens are sounding across Israel as rockets and drones are launched from Iran and Lebanon, sending families rushing to bomb shelters day and night. In this episode, we share what life has been like over the past few days living through the war in Israel. We discuss the latest missile barrages, the damage across the country, and how Israel's air defenses are intercepting the majority of incoming threats. We also break down major developments in the conflict, including reports that Israel has significantly degraded Iran's missile-launch capabilities, dramatic battlefield stories, and new intelligence assessments about the Iranian regime. Alongside the military updates, we reflect on powerful moments of faith, resilience, and what many are calling miraculous survival stories as Israelis continue to face the realities of war.

Michael Sperber is passionate about securing Israel's future in Judea and Samaria and uses his legal knowledge to affect change in legislation and facts on the ground. He speaks with Eve Harow about what has happened in Bethlehem to the Christians and where the non-indigenous Muslims actually come from. As Israel and the U.S. join forces to rid Iran of its monstrous leaders so too do we need to prepare for the day after the PA/Hamas in our biblical heartland. With prayers for a great victory over jihadists everywhere. Be safe, everyone.

Then there's the conscription of the ultra Orthodox and a major dairy reform with the constant background of security concerns. Listen in to Israel on the move. Despite all predictions we are rocking it.
