From Pamphlets to Podcasts: Antisemitism Redressed, Part 1 of 2

What do Adolf Hitler and famed American industrialist Henry Ford have in common? Sadly, they both hated the Jewish people—and they both spread antisemitism throughout the world. This week, we’re studying the evolution of antisemitic messaging in part 1 of our 2-part series “From Pamphlets to Podcasts: Antisemitism Redressed,” highlighting the dangerous influence of a pamphlet called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which claimed the Jewish people secretly controlled the world. Bring an open mind to this week’s broadcast to understand how easily a lie sparks and spreads a raging fire of hatred.

Help a Mother Choose Life

Did you know that each year, nearly 20,000 babies face the threat of abortion in Israel? We believe every life is sacred and holds immeasurable potential. That’s why, for over a decade, we’ve partnered with Be’ad Chaim, a Christian, pro-life organization in Israel, to help mothers choose life for their children through Operation Moses.

Our Goal: Save 20 Babies
We aim to sponsor 20 babies for the first year of their lives, giving each the essentials they need to thrive—formula, diapers, clothing, strollers, counseling, and more. $1,800 is enough to save one precious life and ensure that a child’s first year is filled with love, care, and opportunity.

Israel: Whose Land Is It Anyway? PDF Download

The Jewish people want it. The Arabs want it. They both claim divine, legal, and historical rights to it. They have gone to war because of it. This controversy rages on because of one tiny piece of land in the Middle East: modern-day Israel. So the question is: whose land is it anyway?

This booklet analyzes the Jewish and Arab claims to the land and makes sense of all the arguments surrounding the struggle. With historic, legal, and most importantly, biblical details about the land dispute, Israel: Whose Land Is It Anyway? will leave you with a clear, concise answer to how one should think about the land of Israel.

Are we living in the last days today?



Join The Friends of Israel for a thoroughly scriptural and sober-minded reflection on what it means to live in the last days. We will examine what the Bible teaches about the major trends and conditions that will immediately precede the Tribulation period, as we consider the last days of Israel, the nations, the church, and the world.

Before Jesus’s return to establish His Messianic Kingdom, the Bible describes a coming period of intense judgment.

It calls this period “the Day of the Lord.” On that day, God Himself will intervene in human history, displaying His displeasure with sin and rendering His judgment against the nations of the world. Join us for our online Look Up Conference as we explore what the Bible teaches about “the Day of the Lord,” and find out what this prophetic event holds in store for Israel, the nations, and believers in Jesus.

The Voice of Zvi Kalisher

(1941—2023) Apples of Gold audio stories were voiced by Mike Kellogg. Mike was in newspaper and radio news and production for almost 50 years, both in secular and Christian venues. In 2014 he retired from Moody Radio after 42 years. He narrated the first recorded version of the NLT version of the Bible. For nearly 30 years he taught at Moody Bible Institute as adjunct professor in communications. He and his wife, Nancy Smith Kellogg, were married in 1965 and enjoyed rearing their six children and 19 grandchildren together. We are thankful to the Lord for Mike’s years of ministry and the way he served The Friends of Israel as the voice of Zvi Kalisher.

Program Music

The Friends of Israel Today and Apples of Gold themes, as well as other music throughout our program were composed and performed by Jeremy Strong.
