Developments in the Middle East have come thick and fast this week. On Tuesday the IPC - a UN-backed monitor group - warned that the "worst-case scenario of famine" is unfolding in the Gaza Strip. Britain, meanwhile, warned that unless Israel met a number of conditions before the UN General Assembly convenes next month, it would join France in recognising a State of Palestine. Meanwhile, the Israeli occupied West Bank has received little international attention since the war in Gaza began. Attacks by Jewish settlers on Palestinians living there are on the rise - up by 13 percent over the past year, says the UN. We examine attacks in one village and a town.Also in the programme: Why is Greece detaining all migrants arriving from North Africa?

C dans l'air l'invité du 29 juillet avec Gilles Kepel, professeur émérite des universités, spécialiste du Moyen-Orient. Alors que la France et l'Arabie saoudite coprésident aujourd'hui une conférence à l'ONU visant à relancer le dialogue autour de la solution à deux États, la situation dans la bande de Gaza continue de se détériorer. Les bombardements israéliens se poursuivent, l'aide humanitaire reste difficilement accessible. Deux ONG israéliennes parlent désormais de « génocide » pour qualifier la situation à Gaza, ce qui bouscule une partie de l'opinion publique israélienne. Dans ce contexte, la France prévoit « dans les prochains jours » des largages aériens d'aide humanitaire, selon une source diplomatique à l'AFP. La famine, qui menace une grande partie de la population, est décrite par certains comme un levier de guerre, visant à pousser les civils au départ.À cette crise humanitaire s'ajoutent des tensions croissantes en Cisjordanie. Ce lundi 28 juillet, le village chrétien de Taybeh, dont plusieurs habitants possèdent la double nationalité palestino-américaine, a été attaqué par des colons israéliens. Le ministère français des Affaires étrangères a dénoncé des « actes de terrorisme » en Cisjordanie, soulignant la gravité des violences. Ces attaques, qui visent désormais aussi des villages chrétiens, suscitent une vive inquiétude sur la scène diplomatique, notamment aux États-Unis.La France s'apprête à reconnaître officiellement l'État de Palestine. Dans une lettre adressée à Mahmoud Abbas, Emmanuel Macron a confirmé son intention de procéder à une « pleine reconnaissance », qui pourrait être officialisée en septembre à l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies. Une initiative contestée par Benjamin Netanyahu, qui estime qu'elle reviendrait à « récompenser le terrorisme ». Près de 150 pays reconnaissent aujourd'hui l'État palestinien, et le Royaume-Uni pourrait bientôt s'ajouter à cette liste. Qu'attendre concrètement de cette conférence à l'ONU ? La paix reste-t-elle possible avec une solution à deux États, Israël et Palestine ?Gilles Kepel, professeur émérite des universités et spécialiste du Moyen-Orient, analysera l'initiative franco-saoudienne à l'ONU, l'aggravation de la crise humanitaire à Gaza et la montée des violences en Cisjordanie.

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. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Israel carried out its first airdrop of humanitarian aid into Gaza early Sunday since the start of the ongoing war against Hamas, and pledged to halt fighting in certain parts of the Strip in 10-hour stints and create safe passages for the United Nations to distribute goods to the Palestinian population. We learn what has been airdropped so far, what's on the horizon and how much aid awaits distribution along the border. Fabian reports back on his trip late last week with the IDF to Gaza City. We learn that the troops are largely "fighting infrastructure" -- tunnels and booby-trapped buildings -- and that the Hamas battalion is largely defeated. Fabian wonders if this approach will indeed lead to the release of the Israeli hostages. Law enforcement on Saturday arrested a man suspected of carrying out a car-ramming attack in central Israel last week that wounded eight IDF soldiers. Police said the suspect, named earlier as Arkan Khaled, a 27-year-old Israeli resident of Taybeh, was caught while hiding at a construction site in the town of Kfar Yona close to the Beit Lid junction where the attack occurred. Israeli forces took over a pro-Palestinian activists' boat, Handala, that was attempting to break Israel’s maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip on Saturday night, and towed it toward the Ashdod Port. Handala is operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which also dispatched the previous boat and was carrying 19 activists and two Al Jazeera journalists.

Last week, the leaders of the PA village of Taybeh claimed that Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria had set fire to an ancient church in their community. After the media had a field day reporting this story, it turns out there was no fire at the church. The real story is that arsonists, most likely local Arabs, set fire to nearby fields, with Jews arriving to extinguish the flames. Just another example of the fake news blood libels against the Jewish nation. This story, and more on this week's Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.

It's Monday, July 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims slaughtered 27 Christians including 3-year-old girl At 3:00 a.m. on July 15th, the Christian village of Bindi near Jos in the Plateau State in Nigeria, was plunged into a nightmare. Twenty-seven Christians were slaughtered, including a 3-year-old girl and nine members of Pastor Davou Musa's family, burned alive in their home, reports TruthNigeria.com. These attacks are not isolated incidents. They are part of a coordinated, radical Islamic campaign carried out by Fulani terrorists, with a mission to eradicate Christians from Nigeria and establish a Muslim caliphate. The perpetrators shouted “Allahu Akbar” as they hacked, shot, and burned families alive. One pastor shed light on what that Arabic phrase means. PASTOR: “Allah Akbar. Some will translate that as ‘God is great.' ‘ Perhaps a better translation of that Arabic phrase is, ‘Our God is greater.' This is a declaration that the demon and demons working through these people consider themselves to be greater than Jesus Christ, the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. “Ephesians 6:[12] says that our war is not just ‘against flesh and blood, but powers, principalities and spirits.' Practically, what this means is, when you see conflict in the seen realm, there is far greater conflict in the unseen realm. And when you hear, ‘Our God is greater,' that is a declaration of spiritual warfare from a demon against Jesus Christ, the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.” And where was the military? Just two miles away, but they arrived two hours late, a disturbing pattern of complicity that Christians have endured over and over again. Equipping The Persecuted is mobilizing immediately to assist survivors, providing emergency aid, trauma care, food, and security. But they urgently need your help. They are the only organization on the ground whose mission is to stop the persecution, not just clean up after it. This is not just a humanitarian crisis. It is genocide. And the world is ignoring it. Make a donation to Equipping the Persecuted through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Huckabee rebukes attackers of Christian church in Palestinian town U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned recent attacks on a Christian village and its historic church in the West Bank, calling them “a crime against humanity and God,” reports The Christian Post. His statement came after visiting the site of the arson and ongoing harassment. Huckabee travelled Saturday to Taybeh, a Christian Palestinian town that residents say has endured a wave of assaults by Israeli settlers in recent weeks, according to The Times of Israel.  The attacks include a fire set near the ruins of the Church of St. George, which church leaders described as among the most severe incidents to date. Huckabee, a longtime Evangelical supporter of Israel, said during his visit that the desecration of religious sites represented “an act of terror” and that such actions should carry “harsh consequences.” Trump diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after leg swelling Last Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave the press an update on President Donald Trump's health. She told reporters that he has experienced mild swelling in his lower legs, according to a memo from Dr. Sean Barbarella, the physician to the president. LEAVITT: “The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity veinous doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign, common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.” Leavitt also talked about photos showing some minor bruising on the back of the President's hand. She explained the bruising is a minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, reports CBN News. Intercessors for America featured this prayer.  Pray with me now, if you would. “Father, we lift President Trump before You. We ask You would heal him and strengthen his body as he continues to serve our great nation. Amen.” Why Republicans defunded NPR and PBS The U.S. Congress voted to defund the Public Broadcasting Corporation by $1.1 billion, reports The Epoch Times. Republican Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas spoke from the floor of the House. GILL: “Tonight is the culmination of months of work from House Republicans to defund left wing state sponsored media outlets like NPR. “During that process, we got to bring in leadership from these outlets, like the CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher to testify before the House Oversight Committee she's written extensively about every single major woke buzz word that you could think of, including, ‘the ravages of late stage capitalism,' ‘structural privilege,' her own ‘cis white mobility privilege.'  Most Americans, including myself, didn't know what that meant until reading this. “She's written about how ‘I do wish Hillary, [meaning Hillary Clinton], wouldn't use the language of ‘boy and girl.' It's erasing language for non-binary people. “This is the person running the outlet the other side of the aisle wants our tax dollars to subsidize non-partisan news outlets are not run by lunatics like this. Republicans are done using the power that voters give us to fund Democrat media machines. We're playing to win now.” Chip and Joanna Gaines promote homosexuality on new TV show And finally, Christians across America are objecting to the moral compromise of self-proclaimed Christians Chip and Joanna Gaines known for their home renovation show Fixer Upper and the Magnolia Network, reports the New York Post. As producers of a new reality show “Back to the Frontier” which premiered on July 10th, they sparked backlash for casting a homosexual male couple. A source close to Chip and Joanna – who cast a faux-married couple Jason Hanna and Joe Riggs and their 10-year-old twin sons through surrogacy – says they have long affirmed perversion. Conservative Christian leaders like Reverend Franklin Graham and podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey both slammed their decision, with Graham calling the casting “very disappointing.”  Graham was clear in his stance, writing: “His Word is absolute truth. God loves us, and His design for marriage is between one man and one woman.” This prompted Chip to pour gasoline on the controversy by tweeting: “The way of ‘modern American Christian culture' is ‘Judge 1st, understand later/never.' ”  Christian author Matt Walsh replied, “Maybe you should endeavor to understand the basic moral teachings of your own alleged religion before you give lectures to other people about their lack of understanding.” And Robby Starbuck, another Christian influencer, said, “Promoting this show means cash is greater than Christianity. When you reduce it to that simple truth, it's eye opening. I hope you correct course Chip. ‘For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?'” (Matthew 16:26) The TV couple – parents to five children ranging between 20 and seven in age – are active members of the traditionally conservative Antioch Community Church of Waco, Texas. On its website, the church proclaims, “God commissions each of us to go into our spheres of influence and represent Jesus so that His Kingdom would come and His will would be done.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, July 21st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Join The Land of Israel Fellowship: https://thelandofisrael.com/fellowship/   Israel is making bold moves on multiple fronts. The IDF is actively working to protect the embattled Druze community in Syria, as hundreds of Israeli Druze crossed the border amid rising chaos in Sweida. Meanwhile, a seismic shift has occurred in Hebron — for the first time in decades, control of the Cave of the Patriarchs has been transferred from the Waqf to a Jewish religious council. And in the political arena, Prime Minister Netanyahu has lost his majority, dropping to a one-seat minority coalition. Plus: Hamas has reportedly agreed to a new ceasefire map, including a withdrawal from the Morag Corridor. France makes a shocking decision to officially accept Gazans as refugees — opening a legal pathway that aligns with past U.S. proposals. And the so-called “settler violence” incident in Taybeh? Turns out, it's all a lie. All that and more as we break down what's really happening across Israel, Gaza, and Syria — in a week full of media fog, political upheaval, and strategic clarity.

According to God's Word, God works ALL THINGS after the council of His Will! God has a reason and purpose for every tragedy, but that doesn't mean that we know the why of it all at this time. This month, our nation's support for Israeli Zionism has blown up in our face. Even those who are enthusiastic supporters of Zionist violence and terrorism, couldn't withstand the outrage over Israeli attacks on Christian Palestinians and American citizens. Violent Zionist settlers have been burning fields and houses, assaulting and murdering Palestinians, blocking food aid vehicles from feeding starving people in Gaza, and trying to drive them away, so that the Israelis can seize their homes and fields for themselves. And so in the last month, settlers beat and murdered an American citizen visiting his family in Palestine, yet another church in Gaza was shelled, killing three people, and the historic Christian town of Taybeh, or Ephraim as it is called in the Gospel of John, has been under a sustained attack by settlers, burning homes and cars and fields, and destroying olive trees. The Christian leaders of the town have issued a plea to the world for help against these settler attacks. While at first it looked like US Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who has supported the settler terrorism, would ignore the Christian plea for help, it quickly turned out that there are American citizens living in Taybeh who are under assault by the settlers. So yesterday, Huckabee toured the town of Taybeh, and denounced the settler violence as "acts of terror." All of this violence and oppression against believers is, of course, ordained by God for His Own purposes and for the good of His saints.

It's Thursday, July 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark West Bank Christian communities attacked by Israeli settlers Christian communities in the West Bank are experiencing increasing attacks from Israeli settlers. Last Monday, Jewish extremists targeted the Palestinian Christian town of Taybeh. They attacked houses and started fires near the community's historic church building. The Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Churches of Jerusalem released a statement, saying, “The attacks by the hands of settlers against our community, which is living in peace, must stop, both here in Taybeh and elsewhere throughout the West Bank. This is clearly part of the systematic attacks against Christians that we see unfolding throughout the region.” Church of England affirms sexual perversion for clergy … again The Church of England voted Tuesday to remove a 1991 teaching document on sexuality from its ordination process. The document, entitled Issues in Human Sexuality, said that clergy should not live in homosexual relationships.  However, church leaders said the document now appears “prejudicial and offensive.”  The Church of England has allowed clergy to enter homosexual civil partnerships since 2005. Last year, it approved services of blessing for homosexual couples. Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” Christian non-profit victorious in case against ChatGPT In the United States, a Christian non-profit won a religious freedom lawsuit against one of the biggest artificial intelligence organizations around. OpenAI offers a 20% non-profit discount for a ChatGPT subscription unless an organization is religious. A Christian non-profit named Holy Sexuality challenged this policy with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom. In response, OpenAI reversed course and offered the discount. It also removed religious discrimination language from its policy.   Dr. Christopher Yuan, the founder of Holy Sexuality, said, “Some corporations—especially tech companies—emboldened by intersectional ideology and anti-Christian sentiment, choose to unlawfully discriminate based solely on religion. We are grateful for this victory.” Fourth Circuit upholds West Virginia ban on abortion kill pill On Tuesday, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld West Virginia's ban on the Abortion Kill Pill called mifepristone. The challenge to the ban came from GenBioPro, a company that produces the killing drug.  The case marks the first time a federal appeals court has allowed states to restrict access to mifepristone.  West Virginia Republican Governor Patrick Morrisey responded to the ruling, “West Virginia can continue to enforce our pro-life laws and lead the nation in our efforts to protect life. We will always be a pro-life state!” Senate Republicans pass $9 billion budget cut U.S. Senate Republicans advanced a $9 billion rescission bill on Tuesday with the tie-breaking vote of Vice President J.D. Vance. The measure follows President Donald Trump's agenda to cut spending on foreign aid and public broadcasting. Republicans must have the bill ready to be signed by Friday for the rescissions to be enacted.  Listen to comments from Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune. THUNE: “Later today, the Senate will begin consideration of the Trump administration's rescissions package reining in waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government is a priority shared by President Trump and by Senate Republicans. “I appreciate all the work the administration has done in identifying wasteful spending. And now it's time for the Senate to do its part to cut some of that waste out of the budget. It's a small but important step toward fiscal sanity that we all should be able to agree is long overdue.” Christian and Gospel music seeing a resurgence Christian and Gospel music is seeing a resurgence, according to a report on music streaming trends by Luminate.  The Christian/Gospel genre moved up to seventh place in the top 10 U.S. music genres this year. And Christian music ranked fourth among the highest-growth genres. The report found Christian music listeners are mostly female, and the top generation listening to Christian music is Millennials. Deacon given free truck after protecting church from gunman And finally, WXYZ reports a church deacon in Michigan received a new truck recently after preventing a mass shooting at his church last month.  On Sunday, June 22, a shooter opened fire outside CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan. In God's providence, Deacon Richard Pryor was running late. He saw the gunman heading to the church's front door, dressed in camouflage and bearing an AR-15 style rifle as well as  more than a dozen fully-loaded magazines. That's when Pryor ran the shooter over. However, his truck was totaled in the process as the shooter shot up the truck.  Fortunately, Pryor was not injured.  Another person, acting as a volunteer security guard, shot the gunman dead. In response, a local Ford dealership gifted the hero a brand new truck on a two-year free lease. Pryor said he was “thankful for everybody's support. The Lord was definitely involved in the events of that Sunday.” Psalm 121:4 and 7 says, “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. … The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, July 17th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Dice Netanyahu che dopo la tregua si tornerà ad “assediare Gaza”. Non è una minaccia. È un piano: dividere la popolazione, spingerla a sud, trasformare il nord della Striscia in un campo di battaglia, il sud in un recinto. Ieri l'ennesimo ordine: evacuare immediatamente Gaza City e Jabalia. Un ultimatum lanciato a chi non ha più nulla da evacuare, se non il proprio corpo esausto, se ancora in vita. Nel frattempo, le bombe piovono sui campi profughi. A Shati cinque morti, nel quartiere Remal sei uccisi sotto le tende degli sfollati. Secondo il ministero della Sanità locale, oltre 58 mila le vittime palestinesi da ottobre 2023, più della metà donne e bambini. La cifra viene contestata da Israele, ma è difficile controbattere le immagini dei cadaveri di bambini in fila per l'acqua. L'Egitto parla apertamente di “oltre cento morti al giorno solo per cercare gli aiuti”. L'Europa si mostra “preoccupata”, ma a Gaza continuano a mancare carburante, medicine, cibo. E pace. L'evacuazione forzata e la distruzione sistematica delle infrastrutture civili configurano un intento genocidario sotto gli occhi del mondo. L'Onu parla di "crimini", le chiese cristiane denunciano attacchi dei coloni a Taybeh, una fondazione belga chiede l'arresto di un soldato israeliano. Netanyahu, invece, promette la prosecuzione del conflitto come se fosse un diritto sovrano. Trump riduce Gaza a una trattativa immobiliare: “una soluzione nella prossima settimana”. Le bombe, intanto, non si fermano. Tra le vittime di ieri anche il fratello di un medico palestinese che lavora in Italia: era andato a cercare cibo. Gaza muore e il mondo prende appunti.

The small Palestinian town of Taybeh is one of the few villages in the West Bank where almost all the residents are Christian. In recent weeks, radical Israeli settlers have stepped up attacks on residents and properties, as part of their plan to occupy the entire West Bank territory. GUEST:SANAD SAHELIA is a local journalist who reports for Catholic media.

When New Yorkers gave Zohran Mamdani close to half the votes in the Democratic primary for mayor, they turned a local race into contest with global impact. Mamdani is of Indian Muslim background. As a state assemblyman, he's been an outspoken critic of Israel. About nine percent of New Yorkers are Muslim but 12 per cent are Jewish. So has this election reflected these differences? The small Palestinian town of Taybeh is one of the few villages in the West Bank where almost all the residents are Christian.

*) Lebanon reports new ceasefire violations by Israel The Israeli army violated the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon seven more times, including shelling towns in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese state news agency. The reported violations were concentrated in the Marjayoun district of Nabatieh Governorate and the Tyre district. The army also shelled the outskirts of Markaba, Talloussa, Odaisseh, Taybeh and Houla towns and sent four tanks into the western part of Khiyam. *) ICC prosecutor says Israel's appeal of arrest warrants should be dismissed The International Criminal Court prosecutor, Karim Khan, has called for Israel's appeal against arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant to be thrown out. In a document shared on the ICC's website, Khan explained that the current decision isn't up for appeal just yet — though Israel might be able to challenge it later in the legal process. Khan pointed out that the court's ruling makes it clear: Israel can't contest jurisdiction until the ICC makes a decision under Article 58 of the Rome Statute. *) Zelenskyy hints at truce in exchange for NATO membership Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that a ceasefire deal could be reached if the Ukrainian territory under Kiev's control was put “under the NATO umbrella” in a bid to stop the “hot stage of the war”. Zelenskyy told Sky News that no one has proposed NATO membership for only part of Ukraine, explaining that granting NATO membership to the areas currently under Ukrainian control could be a solution to end the active phase of the war. *) Opposition groups take control of Syria's Aleppo city centre The opposition groups have broken through to the centre of Aleppo, one of Syria's two largest cities, local sources said. The anti-regime armed groups, which had been advancing towards Aleppo from the west after clashing with regime forces for three days, broke through the defence lines in the Hamdaniyya, New Aleppo and Zahra axes in Aleppo's western countryside and entered the city centre. After three days of fighting in the Aleppo and Idlib provinces, opposition groups are said to have taken control of over 400 square kilometres of territory. *) Top UN court to open unprecedented climate hearings The world's top court will next week start unprecedented hearings aimed at finding a “legal blueprint” for how countries should protect the environment from damaging greenhouse gases — and what the consequences are if they do not. From Monday, lawyers and representatives from more than 100 countries and organisations will make submissions before the International Court of Justice in The Hague. But others fear the UN-backed request for a non-binding advisory opinion will have limited impact and it could take the UN's top court months, or even years, to deliver.

Three Christians and a Muslim walk into a bar... They get along famously. The end.  Ehab Jalal is the producer, director, host and editor of The Amreekies podcast - a show about being Arab, Muslim and American. It has a very similar vibe to Beer Christianity (but with significantly less swearing and a LOT less drinking). Ehab talks to us (over a kombucha) about being 14 and recently returned to the US when 9-11 happened; how it feels when people try to convert you and the Christian who has been a big influence on his spirituality. We also talk about Taybeh, the American dream beer produced in Christian Palestine and what Ehab wants you to know about 'the Old Country'. It's a really fun episode and was a nightmare to edit down to a reasonable length -- that's how much we loved talking to Ehab.   You can find The Amreekies podcast on all the good platforms and on all the good socials. A good place to start is theamreekiespodcast.com

Findet den Fehler: Katha isst grüne Mandeln in Taybeh und Pia schaut in Berlin den Bachelor. Richtig! Wir sind immer noch räumlich getrennt. Davon und von den anstehenden Wahlen in Israel lassen wir uns aber die Laune nicht verderben!

In this episode I spoke to Madees Khoury, Operations Manager at Taybeh Brewing Company and the first and only female brewer in the Middle East.

FOOD MEETS FAITH IN THE HOLY LAND A unique pilgrimage experience combining food and faith in the Holy Land is set for February 2014. Jeff Young, "The Catholic Foodie," will lead the trip to Israel together with spiritual director, Fr. Michael Werkhoven of the Diocese of Memphis. The dates for the pilgrimage are February 5-15, 2014. Israel, referred to as the Holy Land, is the place where Jesus walked, talked, ate and drank with his companions over 2000 years ago. Pilgrims will get to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, visiting many of the significant locations of Jesus' life like Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem and Emmaus, celebrating Mass in most of those locations. A Unique Holy Land Pilgrimage Experience Combining Food & Faith Some of the traditional pilgrimage experiences will include: Renewal of marriage vows in Cana of Galilee, the site of Jesus’ first miracle where he turned water into wine Renewal of baptismal promises in the Jordan River Traveling to Nazareth to visit Mary’s Well and the Church of the Annunciation Celebrating Christmas Mass at the Church of the Nativity Traveling to the ancient city of Jericho to see the Mount of Temptation, and later going for a swim in the Dead Sea Visiting Jerusalem and praying the Stations of the Cross on the original Via Dolorosa, then celebrating Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Visiting the Mount of Olives, Mount Zion, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Empty Tomb of the Virgin at the Church of the Assumption In addition to the traditional pilgrimage experiences, pilgrims will also be treated to a deliciously “foodie” buffet of events that will include: Sailing on the Sea of Galilee before touring Kibbuz Kinnert, the famous shop with little dates (and date honey!) harvested on the kibbutz Visiting and touring the Bethlehem Winery, where pilgrims can sample the wine and also purchase bottles to bring home Learning about biblical foods and exploring the fascinating question, “What Would Jesus Eat?” with talks by Jeff Young, The Catholic Foodie Visiting a local family restaurant in Bethlehem where pilgrims will join The Catholic Foodie and local chefs in the preparation of the day’s meal  Sharing a celebratory meal in Bethlehem prepared by Chef Johnny Goric and Jeff Young, The Catholic Foodie, in an open kitchen, and learning about Chefs for Peace, an organization founded by Jewish, Muslim, and Christian chefs whose objective is peace through local cooperation, cooking and breaking bread together Shopping with local chefs in the most famous food market in Israel Attending cooking classes that will highlight Middle Eastern cooking styles Dining at a restaurant that reportedly has the best hummus in Israel (and pilgrims get a copy of the recipe!) Meeting local villagers from Taybeh, the only Catholic Village in the Holy Land, touring the local brewery and, later on, taking a cooking class with Jeff Young, The Catholic Foodie Journeying to Ein Kerem and Emmaus, where Jesus met the disciples on the road after his Resurrection, and enjoying a delicious farewell dinner with your fellow travelers Organized by Select International Tours, this unique once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage experience will put pilgrims in touch with the daily life of Jesus, as well as the locations associated with the main events of his life. Who is Jeff Young, The Catholic Foodie? A former seminarian and educator, Jeff Young is the founder of The Catholic Foodie, an apostolate to strengthen families through food and faith around the family table. Jeff firmly believes that God created us to seek communion – with himself and with others – and one of the primary ways we experience communion is around the table, both the table of the Eucharist at Mass and the family dinner table at home. Jeff notes that, from Genesis to Revelation, food plays an important role in God’s relationship with his people and in our relationship with each other. It’s all about communion. Born and raised in south Louisiana, it is in Jeff's blood to be passionate about both food and faith. With his unique down-home style, he shares recipes, reviews, and culinary inspiration through The Catholic Foodie blog and podcast, and through the weekly Around The Table Food Show on Catholic Community Radio (690AM in New Orleans, and 1380AM in Baton Rouge). He is currently working on a book that celebrates food and faith "around the table." Jeff is also a conference speaker who has spoken on various topics ranging from "growing in faith around the table" to "using social media to reach inactive Catholics." Who is Fr. Michael Werkhoven? Fr. Mike Werkhoven is a priest for the Diocese of Memphis in Tennessee.  He is the pastor of the Church of the Holy Spirit in east Memphis, and has been a priest for 11 years.  Before entering the seminary in 1994, Fr. Mike was an art major in college and worked many years as a professional artist.  He finished up his undergraduate studies in philosophy at St. Joseph Seminary College in Covington, LA.  Fr. Mike studied for one year in Rome at the North American College before coming back home to finish his studies at Kenrick Seminary in St. Louis, MO.  Besides the Catholic Church, Fr. Mike's two main loves are art and food, and his hobbies are creating both and tying them both into the divine life we share with Christ and our universal call to holiness. Just as there is "sacred art", Fr. Mike believes there is "sacred food" and it all starts with the "holy trinity" of onions, peppers, and celery.  Besides being a pastor, Fr. Mike also serves as the spiritual director for the diocesan SEARCH youth retreat and is the chaplain for "Fishers of Men" of the Diocese of Memphis. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Additional Resources: http://catholicfoodie.com http://catholicfoodie.com/holyland http://www.selectinternationaltours.com http://http://youtu.be/ZcZPVZEqNZY (promo video) Images of Jeff Young and Fr.
