Interview: Ann Atkins
We welcome Ann Atkins to our program this week. Ann wrote a moving book entitled, Golda Meir – True Grit. She and Chris will talk about Golda’s unique outlook on life that started at the age of five years old. And we’ll learn how the Jewish people did not always agree with Golda’s forward thinking in politics. One thing is for certain: It’s plain to see God had His hand on this woman and used her in the rebirth of modern Israel. You won’t want to miss this interview!

Apples of Gold
One day as Zvi was walking in the orthodox section of Jerusalem a group of men approached him. He noticed their confidence and saw that their teachers (rabbis) were with them. One of them asked him what God he believed in. Zvi asked why they would ask such a question and quoted a verse they all recited daily, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!” Deuteronomy 6:4. This began a lively discussion where Zvi was able to share Jesus in the Hebrew Scriptures.
Music
The Friends of Israel Today and Apples of Gold theme music was composed and performed by Jeremy Strong.
