War In Israel  Part 37:  Day 622 Iran Bombs Hospital In Beersheva  -  English only.  Iran hit the biggest hospital in southern Israel, but God miraculously saved His people! Recorded June 19, 2024.

The Knesset Health Committee held a special debate on Monday to discuss the possibility Israel’s withdrawal from World Health Organization. Coalition MKs accused the WHO of antisemitism and discrimination against Israel, and noted that the UN agency has failed to condemn the use of hospitals and other medical facilities by Hamas during the Gaza war. Professor Dorit Nitzan, a representative of the Israel Medical Association and former WHO official, opposed Israel's withdrawal, arguing that leaving the organization could significantly harm national security, public health, and global cooperation. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Professor Nadav Davidovitch from Beersheva’s Ben Gurion university, chair of the Taub Center’s Health Policy program and an executive board member at ASPHER, the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European region.

Narratives can help us make sense of trauma – but what if these trauma narratives do not fit into preconceived structures of storytelling? Nora Parr joins me to speak about the role of narrative in trauma, in mental health and in understanding national, cultural and individual identity construction. Nora talks about how Palestinian literature forges its own narratives, why Palestinian literary history has so often been made invisible, and what genre conventions have to do with all of this.Learn more about Nora's work by following @noraehp on Instagram!References:Novel Palestine: Nation through the Works of Ibrahim Nasrallah (2023) by Nora ParrSusan LanserNarrative Conference (ISSN)https://www.thenarrativesociety.org/2024-conference-1The Palestine Trauma Centrehttps://www.palestinetraumacentre.uk/NakbaRoad to Beersheva by Ethel Mannin (to see how some Arab critics received her work see this translation in the Journal of Arabic Literature https://doi.org/10.1163/1570064x-12341510)Bab al-Shams (trans. as Gate of the Sun) by Elias KhouryChildren of the Ghetto serieshttps://rayaagency.org/book-author/khoury-elias/Don't Look Left: Diary of a Genocide by Atef Abu Saif, translated and published by Comma Press in ManchesterEllipses (the first instance that really got Nora thinking is addressed in chapter 4 of the book Novel Palestine, page 77 has an image of the ellipses in question!) https://luminosoa.org/site/books/10.1525/luminos.168/read/?loc=001.xhtmlThis article looks the problem of ‘eloquent silence' from a different angle. https://archiv.ub.uni-marburg.de/ep/0003/2018/229/7792/Minor Detail by Adania ShibliJ.M.

The narrative surrounding Israel and the Jewish people is one that's deeply interwoven with history, culture, and prophecy. But more often than not, the intricacies of these stories are overshadowed by generalizations and misconceptions. It's why our conversation with Avner Boskey, founder of David's Tent and a Messianic Jew residing in Beersheva, Israel, becomes profoundly significant. In episode 88 of the Jewish Road podcast, "Who Is A Jew? The Anti-Semantics of The Chosen People," we look into the origins and implications of words like 'Jew', 'Israeli', and 'Zionism', alongside the associated "anti" language that often paints a distorted picture. Living a mere 62 seconds away from the threat of a rocket from Gaza, Avner offers a perspective that is as grounded as it is enlightening. There's a raw authenticity in his words, reflecting his deep-rooted love for Israel despite its challenges. Our discussion ranges from debunking the misconception of Israel being a colonial occupation to understanding the descendants of Ishmael. However, the essence of our conversation was about seeing beyond the end times and the prophetic narrative. It's about genuinely feeling for the Jewish people, empathizing with their struggles, and reflecting the heart of God in our attitudes towards them. Avner poignantly mentions, "We sometimes look at the Jewish people as pieces on a grand prophetic chessboard, trying to fit them into the bigger picture, without truly understanding or feeling their pain." God's heart aches with His people. Isaiah 63 reminds us that in their suffering, He too suffers. So, the question we must ask ourselves is, do we mirror that heart? Or are we so engrossed in deciphering the prophetic sequence that we forget to genuinely care? Tune into this episode and immerse yourself in a conversation that goes beyond the surface, urging us to approach the narrative of Israel and the Jewish people with a compassionate heart. Check out the great work of David's Tent and stay informed on all Avner is doing in Israel.

Parsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Parashat Va-yetze [Genesis 28:10–32:3] has long been my (BC) favorite, since it was the one to which I was called up to the Torah as Bar Mitzvah many years ago. As it turns out, it is also the Bat Mitzvah parashah of my wife, Carol, though not quite so many years ago. In our discussion this week we did go much beyond the opening verses, the notice that Jacob left Beersheva and went to Haran, and the encounter at Beit El, formerly known as Luz. Perhaps we gained in depth what we sacrificed in breadth. In any event, it was a lot of fun to do! Shabbat Shalom!!

Toldot | Why "Beersheva"? by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom What does "Beersheva" mean? Well of an oath? (If so, which oath) Well of the seven? (seven of what?)  Seventh well? We first encounter the town of Beersheva in the stories of Avraham; he is in that area when Hagar is exiled from his encampment, and then again when Avimelekh approaches him to make a treaty. In spite of the repeated "seven" in that scene, the place is called "Beersheva" due to the oath ("shevua") between them; this scene repeats with Yitzchak. In that case, even though the well dug there was the seventh one in that narrative, the oath is the reason behind the name. We explore the significance of this place ironically through the lens of the Septuagint, which nearly always prefers a translation "well of the oath" to a transliteration. This survey not only explains that unusual rendering, but also a mysterious verse in the rebukes of Amos... Source sheet >>

Our Abraham series continues. This episode covers the life of Abraham. Now age 100. We continue on the TIMELINE FOR ABRAM (ABRAHAM), the man, the places he moved to and why, what happened when he got there, the people he interacted with, and the results of those interactions. Abraham is revered by many of the world's religions and is  known to Christians as the "Father of Faith." We continue our study on Abraham. Abraham and Sarah received their promised son. In this episode, we begin our sidebar in the book of Romans to see precisely how they did it using faith—The principles of not focusing on the present circumstances and focusing on your statement of faith and worshiping  God. Romans 4:19-20. Incorporating these principles to get what you want from God, you know that promise, is essential. First, you need to understand what they are. As leaders in the church, we have failed to teach God's revealed word. We teach the traditions and not revelation, simply because we have become lazy and too busy to seek revelation from the Holy Spirit. The bible tells us that he will show us all things.

Citizens are still reeling from yesterday's brutal terrorist attack in the southern city of Beersheva. Israel is the first country to set up a field hospital in Ukraine, but also made the decision to turn down Ukraine's request for cyber weapons to use against Russia. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of State has started an open competition with a $1 million reward for people to report on Israel's human rights violations and spearhead projects to stop them from happening.

Rabbi Klapper the founder of Modern Torah Leadership ,joins Rabbis Bechoffer and Kivelevitz to discuss his campaign to correct what he sees a s a gross injustice. He has submitted a draft of his essay for all Rischa listeners The Torah prohibits causing psychological distress to converts (ona'at hager). Most American dayyanim recognize the incredible ona'at hager that results from making converts repeatedly “prove” their Jewishness. Yet American batei din maintain a divorce policy that puts many valid converts and their descendants at risk of just such an ordeal. Here's how. American batei din conventionally distinguish two classes of converts when they write a get (halakhic bill of divorce). Converts who are halakhically observant at the time of divorce are identified as “ben/bat Avraham Avinu”. Those who aren't halakhically observant at the time of divorce are identified as “HaGer/HaGiyoret”, with no father's name. This is intrinsically problematic – there is no reason for batei din to judge the observance level of anyone appearing before them for divorce, and batei din generally claim never to do so. But the worst part is that Israeli batei din take the absence of “ben/bat Avraham Avinu” in a convert's get as a basis for challenging the validity of the conversion. Let me explain how this happened.    In traditional Jewish thought, “the convert” is a badge of honor, as in Maimonides' famous letter to Rabbi Ovadiah the Convert. But in the early 19th century, Rabbi Yaakov of Lissa (Toras Gittin 129:11) creatively argued that it would sully the honor of Avraham Avinu to be identified as the father of an apostate convert. Toras Gittin suggested that such converts should instead be identified by their non-Jewish name and the name of their biological father. The 1868 work Chayyei Aryeh (39) pointed out that using pre-conversion names and pre-conversion fathers raised all sorts of halakhic difficulties. He concludes that respect for Rabbi Yaakov prevents him from dismissing the ruling, but that it would be better to use “Hager/HaGiyoret” as the alternative. Despite Chayyei Aryeh's grudging acquiescence, it's not clear whether Toras Gittin's position had much influence on practice before the mid-20th century. We can say confidently that his position contradicts the still-standard 17th century halakhic work on documents Nachalat Shiv'ah (Mahadura Basra 31:4, inserted as note in Mahadura Kamma 41:23:4; see also the summary in Pachad Yitzchak (Lampronti) p.134), and that most books on gittin published after Toras Gittin, for example Arukh HaShulchan, gave a standard rule for converts without mentioning that apostate converts were an exception (even though apostate coverts were often brought up in two other halakhic contexts, writing sifrei Torah and wine). The still-standard late-19th century gittin manual Kav Naki (Seder Haget Rishon VeSheni 21 Note 7) cites Pitchei Teshuvah as citing a position of Toras Gittin about the case, without saying what the position is. (I have not found a relevant Pitchei Teshuvah.) Rav Gedaliah Felder's mid-20th century Nachalat Tzvi cites Toras Gittin's position as “there are those who say”, with a note that it applies only lekhatchilah. However, a practice based on Chayyei Aryeh's friendly amendment of Toras Gittin was practiced in the Tel Aviv beit din soon after 1948. We know of this practice from two sources. The first source emerges from Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren's ruling in the famous “Langer case”. Rav Goren ruled that a brother and sister were not mamzerim even though their mother's get from her first husband was dated after their birth, because that husband had not converted validly, if at all. An anonymous Israeli dayyan's letter supporting this ruling was published as Appendix 3 of his Pesak Din HaAch v'Ha'Achot. (The houses of dayyanim identified as supporting the ruling were reportedly firebombed, hence the anonymity. The letter seems to identify its author as a member of the Tel Aviv-Yaffa regional beit din). One argument in that letter provides the information relevant to us: [1]The get (from the mother's first husband) is written “Avraham HaGer”, not “Avraham ben Avraham Avinu” as is customary to write on every get for a convert, as is made clear in Shulchan Arukh Even haEzer 129. The rationale for this must be that at the time the get was arranged in beit din, (the first husband) had an established record as not being observant of the tradition, and, it seems, that he had the reputation of a ‘mumar/turncoat to avodah zarah'. A get like this - we do not connect the person genealogically with Avraham Avinu, as is explained in Toras Gittin 129:11, “because (Avraham) certainly did not identify his name with such a congregation (of apostate converts), and we do not connect his genealogy back to Avraham Avinu ob”m”. Pitchei Teshuvah Seder Gittin note 21 also follows Toras Gittin (ADK: I have not found this in Pitchei Teshuvah; see my note above re Kav Naki), and that is our practice today in the beit din for divorce in the region of Tel Aviv/Yaffa, and that was the practice of the Av Beit Din for Gittin of that time, Rabbi Yosef Halevi zt”l, who officiated that get for Avraham Borkowsky (the first husband) in the year 5711. The letter cites Rabbi Halevi's practice in order to corroborate testimony that Mr. Borkovsky had remained a Christian throughout his life. This works if Rabbi HaLevi wrote “haGer” rather than “ben Avraham Avinu” only for converts who were ‘turncoats to avodah zarah', and not for the merely nonobservant. The argument is greatly weakened by the implicit concession that Rabbi haLevi would do the same for ‘public Shabbat desecrators'. The anonymous dayyan presumably assumed that for technical reasons the latter status applies only to a small subset of the nonobservant. In a supplement to the original letter (also published in Appendix 3 of Pesak Din HaAch v'Ha'Achot), the anonymous dayyan strongly critiques a practice that he presents as developing after Rabbi HaLevi's time: [2]Those dayyanim who relate frivolously to all matters relating to the validity of a get, and seek out the bediavad in order to do it lekhatchilah, and have begun to write in the get of a convert only “X Hager”, when according to the opinion of the poskim this hints that the divorcing man is not fit to be connected genealogically to Avraham Avinu ob”m because he desecrates Shabbat publicly, or worse, that he has likely returned to his previous religion – they are violating the longstanding practice of Israel, and in my opinion, they are transgressing many DON”Ts in the Torah that caution us regarding ona'at hager, because I have shown above with clear-cut proofs that lekhatchilah one must write either “ben Avraham Avinu” or else “X haGer ben Avraham”, but if it happens that a convert who comes to divorce is a public Shabbat desecrator, and thereby becomes a ‘turncoat to the entire Torah' as is made clear in the Talmud and poskim, and all the more so if Heaven forfend he returns to his original religion - then certainly one is obligated to omit the name of Avraham Avinu in his get. According to this, if one finds a get written for a convert that was written by a gittin expert in the era preceding ours, and in the get is written only “X haGer” – then there is great reason to consider that at the time of writing they categorized this convert as having the grave status of a public Shabbat desecrator or that he had returned to his prior religion, rather than attributing the omission of Avraham Avinu's name to incompetence. In other words, by 1972 some Israeli dayyanim wrote “X haGer” rather than ben Avraham Avinu even when the convert was merely an ordinary sinner. An abridgement of the anonymous dayyan's letter was apparently published in a New York daily newspaper. This version made no mention of Rabbi Halevi's practice. Rabbi Ephraim Eliezer Yulis (Divrei Efraim Eliezer EH 219), Av Beit Din of Philadelphia, responded by expressing astonishment that an important dayyan would make so weak an argument. He pointed out that decisors throughout the ages had made clear that “HaGer” and “ben Avraham Avinu” were both valid for all converts, so what evidence could be brought from the use of “HaGer”?! Rabbi Yulis clearly did not believe that standard beit din practice followed Toras Gittin. It therefore seems likely that this practice was not widespread in American batei din. Rabbi Yulis had a second criticism. The validity of a conversion is not affected by a convert's subsequent apostasy. Therefore, how could evidence of apostasy at the time of the get, many years after the alleged conversion, prove anything about the father's Jewishness?! As noted above, the full version of the letter shows that the dayyan supporting Rav Goren actually used the language of the get only to support testimony that the father had never renounced Christianity at all. He did not use the language of the get as evidence that the beit din had questioned the validity of the conversion. Rabbi Halevi's practice is cited with at least one important extension in a 5752 decision (published in Shurat HaDin vol. 4 p. 245) by Dayyan Yosef Goldberg (a member of the Tel Aviv beit din).    The case was as follows: A woman was denied permission to marry because her maternal grandmother's 5728 Tel Aviv beit din divorce file stated that she could not remarry until her conversion was validated. All other records of the beit din's deliberations had been destroyed. The get itself identified the grandmother as “bat Avraham Avinu”. Rabbi Goldberg reports that Rabbi Halevi wrote “haGer” rather than “ben Avraham Avinu” for apostate converts, and also for converts “who desecrated Shabbat publicly, and thereby became a traitor to the entire Torah”. He then cites Rabbi M. Tziyoni, a dayyan who was a signatory on the grandmother's get, as follows: The gaon Rabbi M. Tziyoni shlita said to me that the custom in their beit din was: we ask the convert whether he is shomer Torah umitzvot, and if he says that he was shomer Torah umitzvot – we write “ben Avraham Avinu”, and if he said that he is not shomer Torah umitzvot – we write only “X HaGer” Rabbi Goldberg contends that because the grandmother's get identified her as “bat/ben Avraham Avinu”, she must have claimed to the beit din that she was at least somewhat Shabbat-observant. He then makes a technical argument that the grandmother's claim is a valid basis for affirming the granddaughter's Jewishness, even if it cannot be verified, and even though the officiating beit din had left the grandmother's own status in doubt. The practice reported by Rabbi Tziyoni represents a significant expansion of Rabbi haLevi's practice, and corresponds to the practice criticized by the anonymous dayyan. It also shows that the beit din's decisions were not based on any serious investigation. Rabbi Goldberg in fact never suggests that the language of the get proves anything about the grandmother's actual practice; rather, he uses it to show what the grandmother must have told the beit din about her practice. The anonymous dayyan and Rabbi Goldberg each used an argument from get-language in support of ruling that the parties in front of them were eligible to marry. However, Rabbi Shimon Yakobi, legal adviser to the Israeli beit din system, used a radical extension of this argument for an opposite end in his 2010 book ביטול גיור עקב חוסר כנות בקבלת המצוות (Nullification of Conversion Owing to Lack of Sincerity When Accepting the Mitzvot). Rabbi Yakobi asserts that the standard practice of Israeli batei din by 2010, as evidenced by several get manuals, was to write “ben Avraham Avinu” for converts who were shomrei mitzvot (observant of the commandments), and “haGer” for converts who are not. He then contends that beit din records show that the vast majority of Israeli gittin written for converts post-1996 (when batei din began keeping computerized records) used “haGer” rather than “ben/bat Avraham Avinu”. Finally, he uses these statistics to support a decision by Rabbi Avraham Sherman of the Beit Din HaGadol that had retroactively declared thousands of Rabbinate-authorized conversions presumptively invalid. (Rabbi Sherman's own grounds for his decision are beyond the scope of this article. Regardless, his decision served notice that he and his supporters would not refrain from challenging Orthodox conversions even many years later. In other words, it put all converts in permanent fear of challenges to their own or their descendants' Jewishness. I can attest that it had this effect based on contemporary phone calls to the Boston Beit Din and many conversations in subsequent years. Sometimes the ends justify the means; but it would take ultimately important ends to justify such an enormous violation of ona'at hager.)   Rabbi Yisroel Rosen reports that Rabbi Yakobi's statistics were disputed by Rabbi David Bass and Rabbi Mordekhai Brully (ואוהב גר, p. 217). They noted, for example, that according to his chart, the Beersheva beit din had not written any divorces for converts at all! The solution was that the Beersheva beit din wrote ben Avraham for all converts – in other words, that practice in Israeli batei din had not in fact standardized. Moreover, Rabbi Yakobi's argument treats later non-observance as halakhic evidence that the original conversion was insincere. As Rabbi Yulis noted, there is no necessary connection between these phenomena. Finally, Rabbi Yakobi's argument treats a beit din's decision about the get as evidence of the convert's actual level of observance. We saw above that according to Rabbi Tziyyoni, his beit din simply accepted the convert's self-report. Rabbi Rosen reports that according to Rabbi Bass and Rabbi Brully, many batei din probably made judgments based solely on converts' clothing.   But whether or not one regards Rabbi Yakobi's arguments as sound, the reality is that he treated a get that identified a convert as “X haGer/Giyoret” as a basis for challenging the validity of the conversion. Moreover, he found a dayyan who explicitly stated that the language of a get is intended to reflect such a concern. In אבני משפט 4:13 (cited by Rabbi Yakobi in ftnt. 328), Rabbi Mordekhai Ralbag records the following rule, which he presents as based on the practice of Rabbi Shlomo Fisher's beit din: “If the divorcing man or women are converts who observe the mitzvot – one should write ben/bat Avraham Avinu.  But if they do not observe mitzvot, and there is a concern that at the time of conversion they did not intend to accept the yoke of the commandments and the conversion is not good and they are Gentiles – one must hint at this in the get, and therefore one should write only their names and conclude with “the convert”. This rule makes the language of a get a clear basis for challenging the validity of a conversion. Rabbi Ralbag does not present this as an innovation, but rather as established law; in other words, he regards a get that is written “HaGer” to be evidence that the beit din saw reason to question the validity of the conversion. Rabbi Ralbag was appointed by his brother in-law, Chief Rabbi Dovid Lau, to head the beit din system in Yerushalayim (the appointment is on hold because the Attorney General has charged that the process was nepotistic, but Rabbi Ralbag is certainly an intellectually impressive and influential dayyan).    At some recent point, American batei din changed their practice to the one criticized by the anonymous dayyan; that is to say, they began writing “haGer” for converts who were not fully observant. Their intent was probably to match the official standard in Israel (although we saw above that Israeli beit din practice never actually standardized.) In my experience, decisions as to how to identify converts in American gittin are made in the casual manner Rabbi Tziyoni reported, by asking the convert (or sometimes the spouse of the convert) whether he or she is observant at the time. (Most likely some batei din decide based on clothing or appearance.) Converts are not told why the question is being asked. They are not told that an honest answer may lead the Israeli Rabbinate to treat their divorce documents as evidence against the validity of their conversions. In many cases, the beit din itself may not realize this. But it is nonetheless true, for two reasons. First, some prominent Israeli dayanim regard later nonobservance as probative halakhic evidence that the initial conversion was insincere. (For a while, Rabbi Leib Tropper's Eternal Jewish Family used bribery and intimidation to spread this position in the United States. The exposure of some of his many scandals has discredited it for now, but that may not be permanent.) Second, some prominent Israeli dayanim assume that the language of the get reflects genuine concern about the validity of the conversion. The Israeli nonprofit ITIM, headed by Rabbi Seth Farber, has repeatedly sued the Rabbinate to prevent them from using the divorce process as an occasion to reopen question of Jewish status. Doing so is now illegal, but it remains unclear whether the practice has ceased. Regardless, there is no bar to the Rabbinate using the divorce documents of converts as evidence in an initial inquiry into Jewish status, such as when converts from abroad apply for Aliyah. In other words, distinguishing between “haGer” and “ben/bat Avraham Avinu” in gittin puts converts in permanent danger of challenges to their own or their descendants' Jewishness. American batei din have a moral obligation to return to the simple halakhah, which requires no such distinctions in the get. We should regardless not be asking anyone about their religious practice when they come for divorce, , all the more so converts, all the more so without being transparent about the stakes. Asking such questions raises anxieties in every convert about every imperfection in their halakhic practice and violates ona'at hager. We certainly must not continue a practice that raises unfounded doubts about many legitimate conversions, aids and abets those who seek to invalidate conversions we regard as perfectly legitimate, and makes many converts and their descendants permanently insecure.

Julia Fisher talks to David & Leah Ortiz - David, originally from Puerto Rico and Leah, an American Jewess, emigrated to Israel in 1985 with three children and settled in BeerSheva in the south of Israel. They had three more sons and after a few years moved to Ariel, a mainly orthodox Jewish city. They were keen to share their belief in Jesus with the people there and this is the story of how they faced severe persecution which almost cost the life of one of their sons. I started by asking David whether they knew of other believers when they first moved to Ariel. Our aim is to build bridges...

In our last episode we talked about the kibbutz movement—the collective farming system that began in Israel in 1909 in Degania just south of the Sea of Galilee. While I am no fan of socialism, it was successful as long as Israel’s existence depended on it. But what happened once Israel stabilized? First, let me tell you how a kibbutz worked. The ideology came out of Eastern Europe and Russia. The layout of a kibbutz was simple. You had a residential area. The children, at least for the first few decades, would sleep not in their homes, but in the children’s house. Remember, everything was equal. There were common grounds for swimming and dining and an auditorium for meetings and entertainment. Elana and I once went to a costume party on the Jewish feast of Purim at a kibbutz.  The kibbutz life is simple. Everything you needed is on the kibbutz. In most cases, cars are not needed, as you either walk or bike to your destination. In comes cases, golf carts are used.  AD Gordon, was the father of Israel agricultural movement. He was an exhorter credited with getting the Jews of Eastern Europe to get their hands direty and become farmers. He said, You work here [on the farm] simply without philosophizing; sometimes the work is hard and crowded with pettiness. But at times you feel a surge of cosmic exaltation, like the clear light of the heavens... . And you, too, seem to be taking root in the soil which you are digging, to be nourished by the rays of the sun, to share life with the tiniest blade of grass, with each flower; living in nature's depths, you seem then to rise and grow into the vast expanse of the universe. He turned farming into a religion.  In the early years, there was a large focus on equality in all things. Women would do any job that the men did. However, things have changed today. While the women still work, no so much in hard labor. Teachers are needed in every kibbutz, not mention doctors and nurses.  Everyone in the kibbutz works on the kibbutz. In rare situations, some are sent outside of the kibbutz because of their skill in a particular area. One of my wife’s childhood friends is a leader in his kibbutz outside of Beersheva in the desert. Each day he leaves to go work in the computer industry. But, according to the ideals of kibbutz life, he freely turns over his entire paycheck to the kibbutz. Why would he do that? He loves the kibbutz life. It is called voluntarily socialism.  If ever there was a model of socialism that should have succeeded it was the Israeli Kibbutzim. Why? Unlike in the Soviet Union and its satellites, there was no one getting fat at the top at the expense of the workers.  What held them together was not a totalitarian government as we see in Cuba, but a shared desire to see Israel succeed as a nation—they were committed to the prophetic declarations, such as we see in Ps. 102 verse 16, “For the Lord will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.” And Amos 9,14 “They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.” Nevertheless, the Kibbutzim were dependent on the state to forgive their debt. But in the mid-80s the state could no longer afford the status quo. Things had to change. While a minority of kibbutzim remain loyal to the founders’ motto, “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” most have abandoned the socialist system. When kibbutzim kids would go to university, they were often presented with a new and exciting world of opportunities. To make ends meet, most of the Kibbutzim, in addition to farming opened up wedding halls, hotels and even water parks.  In nearly 80% of kibbutzim there have been massive reforms. Children sleep together, but with their families. Members get paid according to their contribution, not need. Home ownership is now allowed. And members can work outside jobs and contribute a portion to the kibbutz.  This has led to a revival in the kibbutz movement which still contributes over 80% of Israel’s produce. It is hard to separate the Kibbutz movement from the Zionist dream. They go hand in hand. And while communism never works long, it did work long enough in Israel’s kibbutz movement for the nation to stabilize.

Julia Fisher talks to Barry Barnett - Today finds us in BeerSheva in southern Israel with a team of Jews for Jesus missionaries, hearing what motivates them to go out and share their faith in Jesus with a sometimes interested but often hostile Jewish audience. Barry Barnett is Jewish. He used to be a teacher in London. Today he is one of those missionaries. I asked him to share his story. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org jewsforjesus.org

Julia Fisher talks to David & Leah Ortiz - Welcome to this week's edition of The Olive Tree which finds us in BeerSheva in southern Israel talking to David and Leah Ortiz. They live in Ariel in central Israel and, as you will hear, work among both Jewish and Muslim people. A few years ago one of their sons, Ami, was seriously injured when a religious Jewish man left a bomb on their doorstep. Theirs is an unusual and very interesting story – so where did it all begin? Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org

Julia Fisher talks to Dalia Alon – we heard her husband on last week's programme. Dan and Dalia became believers in their 40s whilst on a trip to America. As you will hear later in this interview, Dalia had suffered from rejection for her entire life – but all that changed when she met Yeshua. She is concerned now for the small but growing body of believers living in Israel and she and her husband now live in the peace and quiet of the Negev desert in southern Israel and spend much of their time in prayer and intercession. I met Dan and Dalia in Beersheva recently and in this interview Dalia shares from the heart about why she believes the Lord brought them to the Negev. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org

Julia Fisher talks to Yoyakim Figueras. Last week we heard how he was born in Israel to a Dutch mother and Spanish father and, along with his four brothers, grew up as an Israeli. After completing his national service in the Israeli army, Yoyakim qualified as a social worker and together with his wife Debbie moved to Beersheva, a city in the Negev desert in the south of Israel, where he worked in a boarding school for disadvantaged children. In this programme, the second of three that feature Yoyakim's story, we hear about what happened when he moved to Arad and started a congregation there. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org

Also, 1300 Palestinians died compared to only 13 Israelis: 100 to 1 ratio, a Biblical miracle.   ISRAEL AND GAZA: MIRACLES THAT HAPPENED ISRAEL AND GAZA: AN ABORTED VICTORY ISRAEL: IT IS NOT TIME TO PUT UP YOUR SWORD   MUSIC  / INTRO “But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.” (Ezekiel 33:6) “Cursed be he who does the work of YHWH negligently; and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood.” (Jeremiah 48:10) So why Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, have you a cease fire with Hamas that wins you nothing, and that at the cost of some Israeli lives. Tzipi, your parents have surely taught you better than this. They were frontier people: forgers of the path. Your father was with Irgun. Tzipi, you have been in a lot of leadership roles, but it is TIME for you to be a LEADER. By the way, Tzipi, congratulations on trying to get the EU to work with the US CTF-151 to intercept Iranian arms shipments through the Gulf of Aden. Perhaps, Tzipi, you could contribute to a Greater Israel, by little things. Remember Golda Meir? Did the Institute take the fight out of you? I really doubt that. Why not be a “Deborah” for your people. It’s time. Or, work with Benjamin Netanyahu. There is nothing wrong with working together to WIN. The Jewish People of Israel need UNITY and MIRACLES. Why not place yourself in a position for this to happen. Why discourage the brave IDF and IAF warriors who give of their youth and strength for Israel … and you give back what they win. Israel, summarily with this cease fire, has NOT achieved any of its goals, while submitting to Hamas two main demands. Israel, you were attacked in 1967 and 1973. You won these wars. Then, you gave back land you won, and that being land Adonai promised you. MUSIC Why are you NOT afraid of Hamas and Hezbollah, but you are afraid of the EU. Why are you afraid of what the EU thinks about you? You are just what Messiah described: “Children playing in the market and saying, ‘Why won’t you dance to my tune?’” Why, Ehud O and Ehud B, do you almost win a complete victory, but then turn your back on Israel – the people you are supposed to serve – and give in to the enemy. You two “Ehuds” could have been a savior to Israel like Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite. But when the children of Israel cried to YHWH, YHWH raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. Instead of a saving your people, you sold them. If a young man is engaged to a girl, and then finds out she is seeing his enemy behind his back, should the chatan keep covenant with the kallah? Should they keep Kabbalat Panim? Should a Sephardic say She'hecheyanu? Why do you betray your people, leaders of Israel. Messiah gives you victory and then you give it to the enemy. You are false shepherds of Israel. You let the European leaders from UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic into Jerusalem and instruct you how to open the sea ports of Israel to allow materials to repair Gaza for the next several years. They want to open the six Gaza crossings and then put you into a net like Samson so you will NOT be able to shut them off ever again. The picture is plain: 92% of Jewish Israelis believe the Gaza conflict was necessary and just. Miracles from G-d attended to the spiritual morality of this conflict. For example: The soldiers themselves had a huge spiritual hunger, and were unified in not only asking for prayer but also praying themselves, wearing tzitzit (prayer tassles) into battle and carrying the book of Psalms with them. The Rabbis were calling the tzitzit "heavenly flak jackets!" Tent synagogues on the battlefield had no less than 10 sessions every morning, and it is reported that soldiers who never attended synagogue were praying with tefillim. They had reason to cry out to God, since everyone is aware of the years of preparation of the bloodthirsty Hamas militants, their desire to kill, maim or kidnap Israeli soldiers is greater than their desire to live; they have been financed by Iran and supported by Syria and Hezbollah. MUSIC GAZA MIRACLES There were reports daily of amazing miracles of protection and Divine direction during the battle. The following are just a few examples: A Hamas map was found, with booby-traps, landmines and sniper positions clearly spelled out. The IDF was able to counter each installation due to the information given. A large platoon of soldiers not realizing they were resting in a school that was booby-trapped, (discovered by a soldier relieving himself in the night), disarmed the bombs with no one hurt. A single soldier successfully fought off several Hamas terrorists trying to drag him into a tunnel, and all were captured. Hundreds of tunnels, hidden in homes under beds and kitchen cabinets, all full of live explosives and ammunition, yet none have exploded with IDF soldiers inside A young man who moved to Israel alone from England less than 2 years ago to serve in the army was in an explosion, and thrown into the air. After being carried off the field by other soldiers and transported on a tractor to helicopter and then to hospital, the doctors were utterly stunned when they saw that a piece of shrapnel that went completely through his neck, missed the carotid artery, the jugular vein and the spinal cord by millimeters. After they removed it, he needed only stitches. Another soldier was shot through the back but the bullet missed his spinal cord and exited from the front. A young newlywed, in grave condition, inexplicably turned for the better and will recover to go home to his wife. A bomb heading toward 4 apartment buildings goes into a sewer pipe and explodes underground, damaging nothing above ground. An elderly woman caught in an apartment completely demolished by a bomb, walks out with scratches on her ankle. The mayor of Beersheva felt he should cancel school one day, and a rocket completely destroys an empty kindergarten. The elder housing complex that was hit in Nahariya had the sleeping quarters destroyed, but everyone had just gone to breakfast, so no one injured. A man leaves his car with his young daughter, and the car is blown up moments later after they entered a bomb shelter. If they had taken a few more seconds, he and his daughter would have been burned to a crisp. He was televised saying again and again it was a miracle. MUSIC But once again, as in the 1967 and 1973 conflicts, we see casualty statistics of Biblical proportions: 1300 Philistines (same Hebrew root word as Palestinians) killed and only 13 Israelis. That’s 100 enemy casualties to every 1 Israeli casualty. So why not fight to the end?! WHAT ISRAEL NEEDS Israel, you need leaders who will fight, win, and not give back what victories YHWH NISSI gives you. King Saul defeated Agag and the Amelekites but did not destroy King Agag as G-d instructed him to do. The Prophet Samuel told King Saul, “Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected the word of YHWH, he has also rejected you from being king.” The Prophet Jeremiah said, “Cursed be he who does the work of YHWH negligently; and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood.” (Jeremiah 48:10) It is time for you to step aside, false shepherds of Israel, and let leaders arise who are True Shepherds: valiant leaders for Israel and the Jewish People. The leaders of the nations – nations who used to be your friends when it was expedient for them to do so – are turning against you. Those who say they are for you will stab you in the back and force you to yield to a divided territory: to give up land for a Palestinian state. There is already a Palestinian State – and has been since 1923 – Transjordan. You must STAND ALONE with YHWH. You are entering the End Times. The US is NOT going to help you. The EU is NOT going to help you. The UN is NOT going to help you. The media is NOT going to help you. Your ONLY hope is in the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You must set yourself for the long haul AND for the return of Messiah. Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai.
