The night before Hamas murdered 6 innocent captives in Gaza, our enemies in the Judean Hills sent out 2 or 3 car bombs to kill masses of Jews in my area of Gush Etzion in the Judean Hills. Miraculously, none of them blew up to harm the masses as was planned. This is the story of the reactions of two different Jewish populations in Israel.

Special: Part 2 - Tour of Judean Hills and The Creation of The State of Israel

Derech, Ohr Sameach trip over Pesach break 2023

We here in the community of Efrat, in the Judean Hills, home to the Dee family, are still very much experiencing the effects of the tragedy that befell the Dee family, our friends and neighbors.I sat down with Rabbi Shlomo Katz, my friend and Rabbi, to discuss what we are all experiencing, how it has impacted the Jewish people and most importantly, how we move forward as a people to put an end to similar tragedies.

Speaking with Rabbi Shlomo Katz, Community Rabbi in the Judean Hills and world-renown musician. Rabbi Katz is one of the most special young Rabbis of our generation. We are talking about Rabbi Chaim Druckman tz"l, a great Rabbi of the older generation, who just passed away. Rabbi Druckman was a child survivor of the Holocaust who came to the land of Israel before the establishment of the State of Israel, and was involved in every historic moment of building up the spiritual aspect of the Jewish State of Israel from back then to his last dying breath. He never stopped working for the Jewish people, even receiving people to help them at 2/3am in the morning at his home. He was that type of Rabbinic leader. You do not want to miss being inspired by these words.

If exacting rationalism and ecstatic mysticism are mutually exclusive, how does Maimonides thrive in a contemporary dynamic, ecstatic, kabbalistic mystical movement? In this episode, we explore Maimonides' rich afterlife in the Chabad Hasidic movement. We'll investigate how this mystical movement embraces Maimonides philosophical and Aristotelian teachings, using Maimonides to ground its mysticism. We'll look at Chabad's theological and philosophical explanations for how to reconcile the apparent dissonance between Maimonides and its own symbolic teachings. Finally, we'll learn how Maimonides' work provides a model for Chabad's idealized spiritual activism. Maimonides the Hasid? Chabad and Rambam. Check out the rest of our Maimonides series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_7jcKJs6iwXUKaVOvNJWr5DSLPTYV0j9 Elisha Pearl is a student and teacher of Jewish texts, practices, and traditions.

Recently, an Israeli journalist contacted me for an article asking me why so many Israeli Jews in the more liberal-minded Judean Hills community that I live in voted for the Religious Zionist party, which the media has labeled "Extremist" and "racist". I told her that she is following up on the wrong story. She should really be looking into why so many traditional left-wing Israeli Jews voted for that party, against the brainwashing of the media! She wasn't interested, since it didn't fit her narrative. So, instead, I'm providing all of you with this untold story, to better understand the reality of Israeli society today, which is hidden by the agenda-driven establishment media.

As a wine lover, what can you do to help mitigate the impact of climate change? Why do many experts consider the phrase “global warming” a big marketing mistake? How is climate change pushing the boundaries of where great wine comes from?   In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm interviewing Brian Freedman, wine and spirits educator and author of Crushed: How a Changing Climate Is Altering the Way We Drink.   You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a personally signed copy of Brian Freedman's terrific new book, Crushed: How a Changing Climate Is Altering the Way We Drink. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and tell me that you'd like to win the bottle. I'll select the winners randomly from those who participate. Good luck!   Highlights What surprised Brian about the impact of climate change on the world of spirits? Why do many experts consider the phrase “global warming” a big marketing mistake? How does climate change disproportionately impact those who can least afford it? Why is a long-term planning horizon essential in the wine industry? What does it mean for a wine to “channel the ineffable truth of a vineyard”? Which rich, complex aromas and flavour notes can you expect from Kutch Pinot Noir 2016? Why do I especially love Sperling Vineyards Speritz Pet-Nat of the various Pet-Nats I've tried? What fascinating long wine history exists in the Judean Hills, Israel? How does Shiloh Secret Reserve Petit Verdot 2018 highlight the diversity and range of the Israeli wine industry? Why is it so important to keep an open mind about wine?

What's Brian's prognosis for the future of the wine industry? Who are the two people Brian would most want to be able to share a bottle of wine with? Which inspirational wine message would Brian put on a billboard?   Key Takeaways I loved Brian's practical tips for what we can do, as wine lovers, to help mitigate the impact of climate change. I agree with him that the phrase “global warming” is a big marketing mistake. Global weirding is much better in describing the extreme weather events we're experiencing around the planet. I found Brian's insights into how climate change is pushing the boundaries of where great wine comes from fascinating.   About Brian Freedman Brian Freedman is a wine, spirits, travel, and food writer, restaurant and beverage consultant, and wine and spirits educator.

She also dives into a piece about the Straits of Tiran and Sanafir, the Saudi-controlled islands that were briefly under Israel's control, and where Schneider's father spent a month, more than 50 years ago, as the officer of an IDF unit that was the first to step foot on the island. Ben-David discusses more Saudi Arabian news, as Israeli-founded smart energy tech firm SolarEdge Technologies signed an agreement last week with a Saudi entity. She also looks at how Israel is moving ahead with plans to lay the foundation for quantum computational ability, which harnesses quantum mechanics to quickly solve problems too complex for classical computers. Steinberg speaks about Israeli wine, and the newly tinted appellations of Judean, the lower Judean Foothills and Judean Hills, with 30 boutique wineries in place.

The other night a terrorist entered the Jewish community of Tekoa in the Judean Hills of Gush Etzion, and attempted to enter a home to massacre a Jewish family. Instead, the family was miraculously saved thanks to the alertness of a father and son. Do not hearing the greater message for all of us, from how the father acted.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Today's panel comprises editor David Horovitz and Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren, along with host Amanda Borschel-Dan.

We continue this summer's throwback episodes featuring monthly looks back at some of our favorites. In this episode, host Anny Stevens-Gleason and the Rev. Philip DeVaul invite us to see the Way of Love as a journey that can expand to include family and friends.

Isn't that what happens when we hear good news? We are driven to go and tell others. The Way of Love is good news that demands to be shared.

Rabbi Lazer Brody tells the story of the village of Etri in the Judean Hills from the time of the Second Temple and its heroic fall to the Romans in 135 CE; featuring special guest Menachem Herman. "Belief in Hashem, no matter what the adversity, is the greatest freedom there is."

You never know when something many Jews may associate with old-fashioned Jewish fare, like herring and crackers, will somehow turn high-end and hipster. One millennial, barely out of his teens, is putting herring out there for all the internet to see. And he’s got a heck of a story to tell. It all started in late 2014, when Queens, NY-teen Naftali Engel was in Israel for post-high school gap-year study. He spent some Shabbats away from his Judean Hills yeshivah with his brother who lives in Safed, the holy city famous for its spiritually creative enclaves. One Shabbat, Engel tasted a particularly delicious homemade herring, and, perhaps nonchalantly, asked the maker for his recipe. The answer he got was not quite traditional.

Shuki Yashuv is the founder and winemaker at Agur Winery in the Judean Hills. While he is a proud atheist, he is an anti-wine snob who keeps his winery kosher in order to include everyone around him, even the ducks or the Haredim (as he calls them)!   Shuki participated as a paratrooper in a number of wars, and he suffers from prolonged traumatic exposure during these times. In this conversation, we discuss why war is totally avoidable, why blessings should be intended, and why learning to enjoy life is so important. 

The traditional Biblical sheep graze once again in the Judean Hills. Eve interviews Jenna, the accidental shepherdess, who against all odds is raising the 4-6 horned (now ornamental) sheep who laugh and play in fields where a young King David once herded his family flock. It’s been a long, arduous, rocky road but they’re thriving and ready to be sheared. Blessings of the Spring Month of Nisan to the entire House of Israel.

The next morning, Joseph and Mary took the baby Jesus and went to look for family in the Judean Hills of Bethlehem. Remember, this is the land of both their families, which is why they had returned here for the worldwide census, issued by Caesar of Augustus. Jesus' family was going to settle in and remain in Bethlehem for a while. We know this because when the wise men came they found the child Jesus and not the baby Jesus. They also found Jesus in a house, not a stable (Matt. 2:11). All this you will discover today.   Knowing Him Study: pages 22-24 sonlife.com

Aglow Spring, Judean Hills, Israel, 2014. In this teaching, Asher highlights the historic and prophetic importance of a remnant of Jewish followers of Yeshua in the Land of Israel. He also emphasizes the importance of the International Church as a people grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel. Together, the fullness of the Church and the fullness of Israel bring Yeshua back to reign on planet Earth.

Julia Fisher talks to Ofer Amitai. He is a Messianic Jewish believer and pastor of a congregation. He lives in the Judean Hills a few miles west of Jerusalem. The past seven generations of his family have lived in the land of Israel and as a consequence Ofer knows the land better than most. This puts him in a unique position as the majority of the Jewish population are immigrants from around the world. I asked him what it means to him to be a believer in Jesus living in Israel today. 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
