We have two exciting guest segments this week! First, we’ll speak with Steve Herzig as he details his Israel My Glory article “No Place Like Home.” If you’ve never heard the term “Aliyah” before, Steve will teach you all about it on the program! From the first biblical Aliyah to modern-day pilgrimages to the prophetic return to the land of …
We’re studying two of Judah’s most famous and godly kings this week: Hezekiah and Josiah. Hezekiah had a special relationship with the Lord that benefited the Kingdom of Judah that it would not see again until his great-grandson, Josiah, ruled righteously as well. Chris draws striking parallels between these two men while analyzing how their kingships affected God’s Chosen People. …
No king can ever match up to Jesus. Our perfect, sinless Savior is also the King of Kings, and He’s coming again to claim His throne! He was also born into a family of kings. We’ll be studying 4 of His kingly ancestors in our 4-part series about the kings of the split Israelite kingdom. These leaders have a lot …
This week we finish our series on the backgrounds of the Jewish people. We’ve studied the Ashkenazi, Sehpardic, and Mizrahi backgrounds, and these three make up much of the Diaspora—Jewish people who live outside the Promised Land. But this final group’s claim to fame is something the other backgrounds do not share: a native presence in the land of Israel. …
This program is a rebroadcast from January 14, 2017. Last week Chris taught us how God relates to us through covenants, a promise initiated by God to a particular person or group of people.

This program is a rebroadcast from January 7, 2017. Today we will look at how our great God relates with His people, both past and present. The God of this universe, Maker of the heavens and earth, wants a relationship with us. First we look at the Trinity, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Son; God is three distinct persons …
One of our favorite Jewish holidays, Hanukkah, is coming up soon! Every year The Friends of Israel enjoys demonstrating love and support for the Jewish community by preparing Hanukkah baskets, which are filled with delicious foods from Israeli businesses. You can order them for yourselves as a Christmas or Hanukkah gift, but they’re especially touching when given as a way …
As Election Day quickly approaches in the United States, many issues factor into people’s voting considerations. Everything from the economy to social issues to foreign affairs takes center stage, and citizens vote according to the proposed ideals that most align with their own. But one of the most significant positions believers take into effect when voting is how the candidates …
Israel has sure been busy lately. This week we’re covering the most encouraging development in the region: Israel’s recent peace deals with the United Arab Emirates and with Bahrain, which we’re discussing with Steve Herzig, our director of North American Ministries here at The Friends of Israel. As positive as the agreements are, they may be just the beginning of …
Every year at Christmas we are reminded that God came to Earth to dwell with humanity. Likewise, the Jewish holiday Sukkot, also called the Feast of Tabernacles, is a time to remember when God dwelled with people, specifically His Chosen People, in the Old Testament.
