Paul continues to preach the good news of Jesus from city to city, and the Jews continue to be jealous of the attention he is getting by preaching Jesus. Riots ensue, often because Jewish leaders conspire to work up crowds against the apostles. Both Jews and Greeks come to faith in Christ, and new churches are planted. Finally, Paul says goodbye to the Ephesian church elders, knowing he will never see them again. Our passage begins where we last left Paul and Luke, as they are traveling through Phillipi and preaching the good news.Acts 16:16 – 1:13 . Acts 17 – 5:09 . Acts 18 – 11:25 . Acts 19 – 15:42 . Acts 20 – 22:48 . Proverbs 13 – 28:33 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the February 18th, 2026 episode of the Daily Radio Bible! On today's journey, Hunter invites listeners to gather around the "fires of His presence" as we continue our daily exploration of the Scriptures. We find ourselves in Numbers chapters 3 and 4, where the unique roles of the Levites are highlighted and God's heart for worship and sacred service is revealed. The reading then moves to Acts 25, where we witness Paul boldly defend his faith before Roman and Jewish leaders, sparking profound questions about the difference between a dead religion and a living relationship with Christ. As you listen, you'll be encouraged to reflect—does faith make sense if it's just about rules and history, or is it only truly understood when we encounter the living Christ? Hunter offers prayers for God's guidance and peace over your day, gently reminding us that we are deeply known and loved. As winter gives way to brighter days and the season of Lent draws near, today's episode is an invitation to take every step with hope, prayer, and a heart open to God's transforming love. So grab a warm drink, maybe take a walk if you can, and join this global community in Scripture, prayer, and gratitude—always remembering, as Hunter beautifully says, that you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It makes no sense. That's what Felix, the Roman official, thought as Paul stood before him on trial. The matter seemed confusing—"something about their religion and a dead man named Jesus who Paul insists is alive." Why would someone risk everything, suffer, even face death, for what looks like just a dead religion? It's not logical—unless you've met the Living Christ. Paul, too, once thought this Jesus movement made no sense. In fact, he did more than doubt; he saw it as a threat and fought to destroy it. But all that changed on the Damascus Road, when Paul encountered Jesus himself—alive, risen. His life was turned upside down, and everything that once seemed foolish suddenly became the very logic of his existence. It's the same for us. Unless we encounter the Risen Christ, faith can seem confusing and pointless, especially when life feels dark or when the world leads us into suffering or confusion. But when we meet the One who has conquered death, who knows us and loves us, it all begins to make sense. Life's suffering and confusion find meaning in Him. The invitation today is to stop hiding, to stop running, and simply be present with this Living Christ. You are known and loved. As you sit honestly before Him, let Him reveal His heart to you. Only then—when we open ourselves to truly know Him—do things begin to make sense. We see that life isn't about following a dead man, but about living in relationship with the Risen Lord. And when that happens, even the storms and sufferings of life, though still painful, become a part of a greater story—His story. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

The Israeli government has approved a plan to claim large areas of the occupied West Bank as “state property” if Palestinians cannot prove ownership, prompting regional outcry and accusations of “de facto annexation.” The move forces Palestinians to navigate complex legal hurdles after decades of occupation and displacement, amid continued Jewish settlement expansion. What could this mean for the future of Palestinian land?

Welcome to Day 2800 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2800 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 114:1-8 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2800 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand eight hundred of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Wisdom-Trek: The Earth Trembles – When the Presence Moves In. Today is a milestone day! We have reached day two thousand eight hundred. That is a lot of trekking, and I am so grateful you are walking this path with me. We are celebrating this milestone by stepping into one of the most compact, high-energy psalms in the entire Bible. We are exploring Psalm One Hundred Fourteen, covering the entire hymn, verses one through eight, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Thirteen, we began the "Egyptian Hallel"—the series of psalms sung at the Passover. We saw the "Stooping God" who sits high above the nations but bends down low to lift the poor from the dust and the barren woman from her grief. That psalm set the theological stage: God is great because He is humble. Psalm One Hundred Fourteen moves from theology to Theophany. A "Theophany" is a visible manifestation of God. This psalm describes what happened when that "Stooping God" actually touched down on planet Earth to lead His people out of Egypt. It is a psalm of movement. In just eight verses, we see a nation moving out, a sea fleeing, a river turning back, mountains skipping like scared sheep, and the solid rock turning into a fountain. It describes the sheer, terrifying, joyful disruption that occurs when the Holy One invades the realm of chaos. In Jewish tradition, this psalm is sung right before the Passover meal. It recounts the moment Israel became God's peculiar treasure. So, let us imagine ourselves in the Upper Room, or perhaps standing on the shores of the Red Sea, as we witness the earth tremble at the presence of the Lord. The First Segment is: The Great Migration: Establishing the Sanctuary. Psalm One Hundred Fourteen: verses one through two. When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of strange language,  Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. The psalm begins with a historical flashback to the defining moment of the Old Testament: The Exodus. "When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of strange language..." The mention of a "strange language" (or foreign tongue) emphasizes the alienation of Israel. They were strangers in a strange land. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, Egypt was not just a political oppressor; it was a spiritual "Iron Furnace." It was the domain of foreign gods—Ra, Osiris, Horus. Israel was living in a culture where the very words spoken were dedicated to idols. To leave Egypt was to leave the jurisdiction of these foreign elohim. But look at what happens the moment they step out: "Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion." This is a profound statement of Cosmic...

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon and religion reporter Rossella Tercatin join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. On Sunday, the cabinet approved the opening of a new land registration process for Area C in the West Bank, some 60 percent of the territory, which it and critics said would enable the state to declare large swaths of land in the territory as available for public development, meaning the creation and expansion of settlements and settlement infrastructure. Sharon weighs in on the trend of increasing Israeli civilian control of the territory, or de facto annexation, and Tercatin brings the example of legislation that would give the State of Israel control of archaeological sites in territory currently administered by the Palestinian Authority. Yesterday, for the first time in three years, representatives of the state and the Jerusalem municipality explained to the High Court why there is a delay in implementing a 2016 government-mandated upgrade to the egalitarian prayer section at the Western Wall and restoring its direct access to the wall itself. Tercatin updates us on the ongoing saga and Sharon weighs in with the potential legal outcomes. We finish the program with a new reading of the New Testament's cleansing of the Temple, which brings out Jesus's more human aspects. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

What does human dignity look like when it's lived, not explained? In this episode of Rise and Shine with Adrienne Gold Davis, Adrienne shares a powerful experience from ADI Negev, an inclusive rehabilitation village in Israel. During a visit with Jewish educators, a six-year-old nonverbal child offered a wordless but unmistakable lesson in kevod habriyot, the Jewish value of honoring every human being. Through this moment, Adrienne reflects on the deeper meaning of the Shema, the idea of oneness, and how Jewish values are meant to show up in real life, not as concepts, but as actions.  A grounding reminder that sometimes the clearest wisdom comes through presence, connection, and the simple act of reaching out a hand.   The Rise & Shine Podcast Series is made possible by the generous support of Bonnie Vozar of Chicago, Illinois.

The Gemara says that one of the things that constantly needs chizuk is tefillah. We know in the back of our minds how great tefillah is, but when it is not at the forefront, we may unwittingly fail to take full advantage of it. In Pressburg, where the Ketav Sofer served as the rabbi, a non-Jewish worker once stole the wallet of the head of the city in broad daylight. The official was so outraged that he ordered the entire police force to focus on finding the thief. The worker hid the wallet in the home of the Jew he worked for. When the police searched the house, they found the wallet and immediately jailed the Jew. The head of the city ordered the death penalty. When the Ketav Sofer heard that this innocent Jewish family man was suddenly on death row, he did everything in his power to save him. He spoke to leaders and dignitaries, but nothing helped. The evening before the execution, he made one last desperate attempt — again without success. He returned home exhausted and distraught and eventually fell asleep. In his dream, his father, The Chatam Sofer, appeared with an angry expression and asked how he could sleep while an innocent Jew was about to be killed. The Ketav Sofer replied that he had tried everything in his power but could not free him. The Chatam Sofer answered, "What do you mean you tried everything? Why didn't you pray?" At that moment the Ketav Sofer awoke. He immediately gathered the people of the city to the shul, and they spent the entire night crying out in tefillah. The next morning, the authorities decided to re-examine the case. When they questioned the gentile worker again, he confessed — and the Jew was saved. Sometimes we forget the most important hishtadlut we can make: tefillah. A woman told me she had begun saying a special Yehi Ratzon in the berachah of Hashivenu Avinu LeToratecha , praying that her son should grow closer to Hashem. The progress, she said, has been unbelievable. Her son improved in ways she never could have imagined. A man related to me that he was facing severe financial hardship. One of his most urgent problems was an unpaid electric bill of over $15,000. He had already received multiple shut-off notices, and it seemed only a matter of time before the electricity would be cut. Every time he came home, the first thing he did was check whether the power was still on. He tried hinting to relatives for help, but nothing materialized. He applied for a city assistance program and received only $50 a month. Realizing how desperate the situation was, he decided to focus intensely on heartfelt tefillah. He prayed like never before, believing that Hashem could create a salvation he could not foresee. With no real plan, he called the electric company once again — something he had already done many times. The representative repeated what all the others had said: the best she could offer was a 12-month payment plan with a large down payment. He asked if there was anything else possible, explaining how much he was struggling. This time, she did something no other representative had done. She asked a series of detailed questions about his finances and placed him on hold. During those moments, he again poured out his heart to Hashem. When she returned, she told him she could offer a payment plan of $10 a month for the next 125 years — something completely unheard of. His next bill reflected the change, adding only $10 to his regular monthly charge. He had been told repeatedly that they never offer more than a 12-month plan, and suddenly he received a 125-year plan. Tefillah can accomplish wonders. But it is up to us to give it the importance it truly deserves.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 129), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Flattery (Chanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, focusing on the third major aspect: praising or commending the wicked (reshayim) in their presence or before others—even indirectly.Key teachings:Praising the wicked — Saying “he's a good person,” “he's pleasant,” or highlighting minor good deeds—even without justifying their evil—is forbidden. It risks elevating them undeservedly and creating stumbling blocks.Consequences — The wicked feel validated (“I'm really a good guy”), double down on evil, and become more entrenched. Others may honor them, envy their “success,” imitate them, or lose respect for true tzaddikim (righteous people).Honoring tzaddikim — When the righteous are exalted, people heed their counsel, envy their good deeds, and grow in Torah/yiras shamayim (fear of heaven). This aligns with Hashem's intent in creation.Practical warning — Avoid praising the wicked unless also mentioning their evil (to maintain balance and truth). Even neutral/positive comments can lead to misplaced honor and spiritual damage.Broader impact — Flattery of resha'im desecrates Torah/divine service. The soul yearns for closeness to Hashem—praising evil distances us from that.The rabbi ties this to current events (e.g., evil regimes collapsing) and emphasizes aligning with Hashem's values: honor the righteous, distance from flattery, and bring God-consciousness through truthful speech and actions._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 18, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked & Witchy, Morgan dives into the history, mythology, and modern magick of Lilith, the dark divine feminine goddess of sexuality, sovereignty, and unapologetic power. Lilith has long been misunderstood, demonized, and distorted through religious and patriarchal narratives. From her earliest mentions in the Dead Sea Scrolls to her role as Adam's first wife in Jewish folklore, her story has evolved dramatically over time. But who is Lilith beyond the fear-based mythology? Morgan breaks down: Lilith's origins in ancient texts and Jewish folklore The story of Lilith and Adam in the Garden of Eden How and why she was demonized Lilith as a modern symbol of feminine autonomy and rebellion Ways to work with Lilith in witchcraft and spiritual practice Her correspondences, symbols, herbs, gemstones, and offerings What to expect when you invite Lilith into your life Lilith is not a love-and-light goddess. She does not whisper. She demands sovereignty. She strips away toxic patterns. She shines a harsh light on where you've handed your power away. If you've been feeling the call to reclaim your wild woman energy, your voice, your sensuality, or your boundaries, this episode explores how Lilith may be showing up for you. Morgan also shares personal experiences working with Lilith, altar suggestions, and details about Lilith-inspired products available at Inked Goddess Creations. ✨ Patreon bonus content includes printable Book of Shadows pages for Lilith.

According to federal records, a private school in North Dallas received checks totaling more than $28,000 from a bank account controlled by Jeffrey Epstein. The Texas Torah Institute, a Jewish school for boys, received two checks in 2008 and one in 2009. In other news, Republican controller candidate Don Huffines is scrambling to contain fallout from revelations that his family bought a New Mexico ranch once owned by Epstein;  late-night host Stephen Colbert said CBS blocked an interview with James Talarico, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, preemptively caving to pressure from the FCC; and the Olympic struggles continued for Plano's Amber Glenn as she skated to a disappointing 13th position after the short program in the women's singles figure skating competition at the Milano Cortina Olympics.

Jake GTV joins Stew Peters live from Puerto Vallarta at Anarchapulco ripping open the Epstein files that nail Bill Gates in direct collusion with Jeffrey Epstein—the pedo financier who bankrolled the entire COVID bioweapon operation—complete with pre-planned depopulation, white fibrous clots yanked from corpses, and skyrocketing deaths that prove this was mass murder, not a pandemic. Max Igan live from Anarchapulco Genesis in Puerto Vallarta dropping hard truth: Trump was Epstein's best buddy sharing the Talmudic, Star of Moloch child-sacrifice fetish of the elite Jewish network running blackmail-free pedo rings, while Rothschild central banks control compliant governments and depopulate the world through wars for Greater Israel.

Luke Moon talks about Christian Zionism, U.S.–Israel relations, and the theological, political, and cultural assumptions that often shape Christian support for Israel. Progressive evangelicals have become increasingly significant in reframing the issue around social justice, Palestinian solidarity, and postcolonial critique.Luke Moon distinguishes between reasonable theological and/or America First convictions and caricatures that appeal to examples like John Hagee, that frame pro-Israel Christians as merely partisan or apocalyptic, while also addressing conspiracies and anti-Jewish perceptions across the political spectrum. Moon calls for greater historical awareness and intellectual honesty in debates at the intersection of faith and foreign policy.Contact Luke: https://x.com/lukemoon1?lang=enOrder Against the Waves: Againstthewavesbook.comCheck out Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris?X: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jonharris1989Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonharrispodcast/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As the modern world takes shape, the Jewish longing for Zion turns political. In Part 3 of this five-part series on the history of Israel, Noam Weissman explores how Zionism becomes a bold answer to an ancient question: what would it mean to go home? By 1948, that question becomes a state, reshaping history. This episode of Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Debra and Avi Naider and Jody and Ari Storch.

Today we'll look at the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, and at the end of our episode we'll begin Paul's second journey accompanied in part by Luke, the writer of the book of Acts. Men and women from different backgrounds, cultures, and occupations are hearing the message of Christ and turning to Him in faith. We'll also witness a convention of church leaders meeting together to discuss how to best direct their new Gentile brothers and sisters in the faith. Despite opposition from jealous Jewish leaders, the message of Christ continues to spread. Through it all, the apostles continue to trust in the Lord through persecution.Acts 12 – 1:14 . Acts 13 – 5:34 . Acts 14 – 14:27 . Acts 15 – 19:02 . Acts 16 – 25:14 . Proverbs 12– 27:42 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

New York Post Columnist Miranda Devine joins Sid to talk about Jesse Jackson's legacy, focusing on his past antisemitic remarks and arguing they look mild compared to today's “civil rights” figures, which she links to the influence of the Nation of Islam on the movement. Sid criticizes Spike Lee for wearing Palestinian symbols at the NBA All-Star Game, suggesting it is provocative and anti-Jewish, while Devine says it reflects fashionable virtue-signaling in his circles. Devine then praises Marco Rubio's Munich speech as confident, diplomatic “good cop” follow-up to JD Vance's earlier “bad cop” message urging Europe to grow up, pay its way, and stop relying on the U.S., noting Rubio openly referenced Christian Western culture and drew criticism from outlets like the New York Times and figures like AOC. They contrast Rubio with Democrats such as Gavin Newsom and sharply criticize AOC's Munich appearance, calling her uninformed, applauded by European socialists, and suggesting she is positioning herself for a 2028 presidential run.

Jewish activist Shabbos Kestenbaum returns to the morning show to discuss Spike Lee wearing a pro-Palestinian themed outfit at the NBA All-Star game in response to Israeli NBA player & all-star Deni Avdija playing in the game, arguing it reflects a double standard toward Jews and Israel compared with other international athletes. He cites examples of Jewish and Israeli athletes facing hostility and criticizes Hollywood and prominent Jewish executives for not forcefully responding to antisemitism since October 7. The conversation also addresses antisemitism from the Black community in New York, references criticism of a Robert Kraft Super Bowl ad as unrealistic, and turns to the reported death of Jesse Jackson, whom the host says is remembered by many Jews for his antisemitic remarks and for not distancing himself from Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Kestenbaum argues that the American Jewish community's strategy of universalizing its causes has not ensured acceptance, and concludes that Jewish survival ultimately depends on Jews standing up for themselves, while acknowledging there are allies.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The US and Iran are set to hold indirect talks in Geneva today, with little indication of potential compromise as the United States continues its economic sanctions and ramps up its military presence in the Middle East while Iran holds large-scale maritime exercises. We hear what may be on the table as US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner hold negotiations with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Israel plans to afford Hamas a 60-day period to disarm, and if it does not, the Israeli military will go back to war in the Gaza Strip, according to Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs on Monday. How does this align with the inaugural session of US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, which is set for this Thursday? We learn which countries may be joining and what is hoped to be accomplished. And finally, last Thursday, US President Donald Trump said that President Isaac Herzog “should be ashamed of himself” for not granting a pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is standing trial for alleged fraud, bribery and breach of trust. Why were these remarks made out of the blue -- and do they actually help the Prime Minister? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Romans 11:7-10 — How can something that the Lord created as a blessing become a curse? In this sermon on Romans 11:7–10 titled “Blessings Become a Curse,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers this question by preaching from the words of Paul when he refers to the law and the people of Israel. Paul acknowledges that the Jews were earnest and genuine in their search for salvation but they went about it in the wrong way. The passage says that those who were elect did in fact obtain it but that the Lord hardened the others. Israel was blinded and God gave them the spirit of slumber regarding the true message of the gospel. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the passage by saying that the very blessing of the word of God, the law, was once a blessing but became a curse to the Jews. They had the wrong thinking about so many things and despite their best efforts, they still did not truly know Christ and did not receive salvation. The only way to receive this blessing is by faith. Dr. Lloyd-Jones also explains in great detail several other Old Testament passages which show the ignorance of the Jewish people and how they did not understand the gospel.

In this episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three Righteous Gentiles who protected Jewish lives. The heroes we'll meet today were farmers, woodsmen, and country families—ordinary people who worked the land, and who chose to do what was right even when it cost them everything.You'll hear the story of Mefodiy and Kseniya Logatzky, a Christian farming couple in Ukraine who opened their home to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution, even as the danger closed in around them.You'll also meet Mykolas and Jadvyga Simelis, a Lithuanian family who hid fourteen Jewish people beneath their floorboards, sharing what little they had while living under constant fear.And finally, we'll travel to the Lithuanian countryside to remember Jonas and Felicija Radlinskas, who sheltered two young Jewish sisters in a cellar for years—feeding them, protecting them, and helping them survive until the war ended.These stories remind us that righteousness isn't always loud. Sometimes it's hidden, hungry, hushed… and still it's faithful.To learn more about God's people—from the days of the Bible through the present day—visit The Fellowship's Learn Center.

Today Josh shares a bold prediction he believes could play out at the Supreme Court this summer. He explains why the timing makes sense, especially with the 2026 midterms on the horizon, and what the potential impact could be. Josh then turns to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s continued overseas trip, including his latest stop and speech in Hungary on Monday, and discusses what it signals about U.S. foreign policy and America’s role abroad. To close, Josh reflects on the start of Ash Wednesday and explores the parallels between the Christian season of Lent and the Jewish calendar, sharing what we can take away from both traditions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 128), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Flattery (Chanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, focusing on the second major aspect: praising or commending the wicked (even indirectly) in front of others.Key teachings:Praising evildoers (in their presence or behind their backs) is forbidden—even if not explicitly justifying their evil. Saying “he's a good guy” or highlighting minor good deeds risks elevating them undeservedly.This creates stumbling blocks: people may honor the wicked, envy their “success,” imitate them, or lose respect for true tzaddikim (righteous people).Honoring the righteous inspires others to follow their path and grow in Torah/yiras shamayim (fear of heaven).When tzaddikim are exalted, all creation acknowledges Hashem as Creator; when the wicked are praised, it desecrates divine service.Practical warning: avoid praising the wicked unless also mentioning their evil (to maintain balance and truth). Even neutral or positive comments can lead to misplaced honor.The rabbi ties this to current events (e.g., evil regimes on the brink) and emphasizes aligning with Hashem's values: honor the righteous, distance from flattery, and bring God-consciousness into the world through truthful speech and actions._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 17, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

How would you pay homage to the books who helped shaped you as a child? That's the topic of discussion for today's episode as author and illustrator Selina Alko stops by The DTALKS Podcast to discuss her latest book, "Otherwise Known as Judy The Great". We get into a discussion about childhood influences, different art styles used for the book, and lessons Selina hopes readers take away from her book. It's a great conversation you're really going to enjoy! Check it out!   About Selina Alko Selina Alko is an award-winning author and illustrator known for blending lyrical storytelling with vibrant mixed-media art. Raised in Vancouver by a Turkish Jewish father and Jewish mother, she grew up immersed in culture, creativity, and diverse perspectives that continue to shape her work. Selina has a degree in art history from University of British Columbia and a BFA in illustration from the School of Visual Arts. She has created more than twenty-five acclaimed children's books, with features in The New York Times, NPR, People, and Time Out New York Kids. A National Jewish Book Award winner, her titles have also been honored as Junior Library Guild Gold selections and Bank Street Best Books of the Year. She is the recipient of the Mills Tannenbaum Award for Excellence in Children's Literacy.   About 'Otherwise Known as Judy The Great' Judy Blume is known for fearlessly discussing topics that were once considered taboo. As a young girl, Judy was not encouraged to share her feelings, so instead she invented stories as a way to understand the world around her. Growing up Jewish, during and in the aftermath of WWII, dramatically shaped Judy's childhood. Her younger years were full of fear. Judy processed her conflicted emotions by making up stories where she could control the conflict as she worked through challenging life scenarios. These stories became the subjects of the books she later published for children, tweens, teens, and adults including Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, Freckle Juice, and the Fudge series. This inspiring collection of poems celebrates the childhood years of Judy Blume, one of the most beloved American writers of all time.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website!

My point in making this podcast, is not to demean or criticize this Rabbi. Nor am I claiming to have all the answers or "push my religion" on anyone. After seeing this video, I felt a desire to share my thoughts and give a response. As a follower of Jesus, and as one who has a Jewish familial heritage, I desire to simply share my faith with those who are willing to listen. I stand in solidarity with the Jewish people, and the nation of Israel. God bless, and Shalom!Learn more ‪@JewishAwareness44‬

The happiest day of the Jewish calendar, Purim, holds tremendous spiritual potential. The Sages of the Torah explain that this day is even greater than the Day of Atonement - Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year, because its potential leads us to perform Teshuva Me'Ahava - returning with love. In this visualization meditation, the listener is guided through a spiritual journey of the energies of this day, allowing for a return to the Creator with love.    Hebrew words used in this meditation: Yom Kippur - יום כיפור - Day of Atonement Teshuva Me'Yir'a - תשובה מיראה - Returning with fear Teshuva Me'Ahava - תשובה מאהבה - Returning with love Pur - פור - random lot   Music Credits: Borrtex - Snowflake - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xcx0ep5GIAA Borrtex - Torride - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TA_NE4zWzQ Borrtex - We Are Saved - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXgIrapS4xo Self Care - Lee Rosevere - https://youtu.be/oEfnAQyxVgk

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

Deeply flawed accounts of the Holocaust persist throughout Central and Eastern Europe. University of Ottawa historian Jan Grabowski argues that nowhere are the distortions of the Holocaust more glaring than in Poland.  The almost complete eradication of the Jewish population in Poland, the second largest in the world, was simply not possible without the active and willing participation of Polish gentiles.  Yet the Polish state continues to use its considerable resources to present Poles as either saviors of the Jews or the war's greatest victims. A conversation with Jan Grabowski about his book, Whitewash: Poland and the Jews, and the story of Holocaust distortion in Poland.  Next on the March 3rd episode of the Realms of Memory podcast.  

In this episode, we welcome Professor Ben Saul from the University of Sydney who is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism, and his insights and experience are relevant to exploring the recent state visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. What started as an invitation by the Australian government and The Zionist Federation of Australia to enhance solidarity in the wake of the deadly Bondi Beach terror attack has become a point of contention, with both warm welcomes from the vast majority of the Jewish community and angry protests on the streets of Sydney and Melbourne about Israeli actions in Gaza. Professor Saul talks about the recent amendments to laws around the protests; and the issue of criticism of Israel in the context of rising antisemitism and the challenge of ascertaining what is hate speech and what is a legitimate free speech.

התוכן הקביעות בש.ז. היא שאדר"ח אדר ועד"ז יום הפורים, הוא ביום השלישי, ש"הוכפל בו כי טוב – טוב לשמים וטוב לבריות". הקשר עם פורים: אף שגם בשאר המועדים מצינו גם הענין ד"טוב לבריות" – הכנסת אורחים, "אושפיזין" וכיו"ב, אבל אינה מ"מצוות היום". משא"כ בפורים, נוסף על המצוות של מקרא מגילה וכיו"ב – "טוב לשמים", הנה חלק מ"מצוות היום", ודוקא במצוות אלו "יש להרבות" (כמ"ש הרמב"ם), היא מצוות משלוח מנות ומתנות לאביונים – "טוב לבריות". ולכן, כאן המקום עורר ע"ד ענין ה"מבצעים" בכלל ועאכו"כ מבצע פורים, שענינם בגלוי הוא "טוב לשמים וטוב לבריות" – הוא מדבר אודות מצוות של ה' עם הזולת. ו"אין מזרזין אלא למזורזין". וכאן המקום להבהיר, דשלא כדעת המטעים ומבלבלים כאלו הענין של "מבצעים" ו"מיהו יהודי" וכיו"ב – הם ענינם של ליובאוויטש בלבד, והאמת היא שזה שייך לכלל ישראל! ואדרבה – הלואי שהם יקנאו ו"ירעשו" עוד יותר בענינים אלו וכו'.משיחת יום ג' פ' תרומה, אדר"ח אדר, ה'תשל"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-02-2026 Synopsis This year the first day of Rosh Chodesh Adar, as well as Purim, fall on Tuesday, when “‘it was good' was said twice” – “good for Heaven and good for people.” The connection to Purim is as follows: Although we find an element of “good for people” in all Yomim Tovim (such as welcoming guests, the Ushpizin on Sukkos and the like), the only Yom Tov where it is “the mitzvah of the day” is Purim where, in addition to the obligations like reading the Megillah (which are “good for Heaven”), an integral part of the mitzvos of the day (and the ones that are subject to no limit, and it is “good to increase” as the Rambam writes) are the mitzvos of mishloach manos and matanos l'evyonim (“good for people”). Therefore, this is the appropriate time to once again mention the Mivtzoim in general, and particularly Mivtza Purim, all of which are “good for Heaven and good for people” – mitzvos of Hashem that are observed between one person and another. And “One urges only those who are already vigilant.” It must also be reiterated that unlike some mistakenly think and mislead others, the Mivtzoim (as well as issues like Who is a Jew etc.) are exclusively a Lubavitch concern; the truth is that they are a concern of the entire Jewish people. On the contrary: if only they would envy Lubavitch and make an even bigger ruckus about these things…Excerpt from sichah of Tuesday, parashas Terumah, first day of Rosh Chodesh Adar 5735 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-02-2026

In the last 60 years proselytizing movements such as "Jews for Jesus" have tried to show that a Jew can remain Jewish but can still be a good Christian.  Although Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, this podcast will show ten fundamental differences between the two religions and how the gap between the two cannot be bridged
