👉 Join the Prophets of Israel Daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/ In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 11 — one of the most complex and heartbreaking chapters in the Book of Judges. From rejection and redemption to leadership, diplomacy, and tragedy, this chapter challenges everything we think we know about faith and power. Yiftach emerges as one of the most unexpected leaders in Tanach — a mighty warrior, yet the son of a prostitute, cast out by his own family and forced to live on the margins of society. When Israel faces crisis, the very people who rejected him come back in desperation. What unfolds is a story of resilience, clarity, and the rise of leadership from the edges rather than the center. Before going to war, Yiftach does something remarkable — he attempts diplomacy. Through a powerful historical and theological argument, he defends Israel’s rightful claim to the land, offering a timeless response to accusations that still echo today. This episode unpacks why truth — not appeasement — is the foundation of lasting strength. But just as victory seems certain, the story takes a devastating turn. Yiftach makes a vow — unnecessary, impulsive, and rooted in fear rather than faith. The consequences are tragic, leading to one of the most painful and morally complex moments in all of Tanach. At the center of this story stands an unnamed figure — Yiftach’s daughter. Her response, dignity, and quiet strength transform this narrative from one of leadership failure into one of profound spiritual depth. While Yiftach’s rise is remarkable, it is her sacrifice that leaves an eternal imprint on the people of Israel. This chapter reveals a sobering truth: even those chosen to lead can falter — and when they do, the cost can be immense. It also reminds us that true greatness is often found not in power, but in those who respond with faith, humility, and courage in the face of unimaginable loss. 📖 Topics: • Judges 11 explained • Yiftach: rejected leader to redeemer • Leadership from the margins • Biblical diplomacy and truth • Land of Israel in Tanach • The power and danger of vows • Pride, humility, and spiritual responsibility • Yiftach’s daughter and the legacy of sacrifice • Faith, tragedy, and moral complexity Chazak ve’ematz — the journey continues in Judges Chapter 12.

In this episode of the Land of Israel Fellowship, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the powerful spiritual journey between Achrei Mot and Kedoshim, two Torah portions that challenge us to confront who we are and who we’re meant to become. Recorded during the days of the Counting of the Omer, this conversation weaves together personal stories, ancient wisdom, and present-day life in Israel. Ari shares a simple yet profound parenting moment that opens the door to a much deeper discussion: how boundaries, reverence, and trust shape not only our families but our relationship with God. Together, we explore: The deeper meaning of the scapegoat (Azazel) and spiritual release Why true growth requires both honesty and letting go What it means to “be holy” in everyday life (Kedoshim Tihyu) How to move from spiritual freedom to spiritual responsibility Letting go of resentment and learning to love others fullyTrusting God’s plan even when life doesn’t make sense Set against the backdrop of modern-day Israel, this episode also reflects on faith during uncertain times, the nearness of redemption, and how to prepare ourselves spiritually for Shavuot, the re-receiving of the Torah. Whether you’re on a spiritual journey, exploring the Bible more deeply, or seeking meaning in today’s complex world, this conversation offers clarity, strength, and inspiration.

👉 Join a worldwide community united a love of Israel, God and Torah: https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ Is faith in Israel becoming… mainstream? In this episode, we explore a surprising cultural shift happening across Israeli society—one that challenges long-held assumptions about secularism and spirituality in the Jewish state. From young Israelis reconnecting with the Bible to national events that highlight a renewed interest in tradition, something deeper is unfolding beneath the surface. What’s driving this quiet revival? Is it cultural, spiritual, or a response to uncertainty in the region? We unpack the growing trend of Israelis—many of them secular—rediscovering faith, identity, and heritage in new and unexpected ways. Along the way, we examine how this shift intersects with broader developments in Israeli society, regional tensions, and the global conversation around religion and identity. This isn’t the Israel many people think they know.

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/#fellowship In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 9 — one of the most intense and sobering chapters in the entire Book of Judges. Unlike previous chapters, this is not a story of external enemies, but of internal collapse, as Israel faces the devastating consequences of corrupt leadership from within. Through the rise and fall of Avimelech, Ari and Jeremy uncover a powerful warning about the dangers of power disconnected from purpose. From his manipulation of Shechem to the brutal murder of his seventy brothers, this episode reveals how leadership built on ego, fear, and idolatry ultimately self-destructs. Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight Jotham’s profound parable of the trees — one of the earliest and most striking allegories in Tanach. The contrast between fruitful trees that refuse power and the empty thornbush that seeks it exposes a timeless truth: when true leaders decline authority, those unworthy of it often rise in their place. This teaching reveals a timeless message: when leadership is driven by self-interest instead of service, destruction follows from within. True authority does not seek power — it flows from purpose, humility, and alignment with Hashem. 📖 Topics: • Judges 9 explained • Avimelech and failed kingship • Internal conflict in Israel • Jotham’s parable of the trees • Leadership vs power • Idolatry and corruption • Midah k’neged midah (measure for measure) • The dangers of ego-driven leadership

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/#fellowship In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 8 — the complex and deeply human continuation of Gideon’s story. After the miraculous victory of Chapter 7, this chapter reveals what happens after the triumph, when the external battle is won but the internal struggle begins. Through Gideon’s interactions with the tribe of Ephraim, and the defeated Midianite kings, Ari and Jeremy uncover the emotional and spiritual toll of leadership. From humility and wisdom to personal pain and shifting motivations, this episode traces Gideon’s gradual descent and the subtle ways greatness can turn into a spiritual stumbling block. Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight the tension between divine mission and personal ambition. From Gideon’s refusal of kingship to his creation of the ephod, the chapter reveals how even the greatest leaders can fall into traps when the clarity of purpose fades. The concept of a “mokesh” — a hidden spiritual landmine — becomes a powerful lens through which to understand how success itself can become the greatest test. This teaching reveals a timeless message: the greatest danger is not failure, but what happens after success. When victory turns into comfort and clarity fades into self-focus, even the most righteous paths can quietly lead us astray. 📖 Topics: • Gideon’s leadership and decline • Ephraim’s confrontation • Succoth and Penuel • Personal vs national motivation • Refusal of kingship • The ephod and spiritual pitfalls • Mokesh — spiritual traps after success

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/ In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 7, the dramatic story of Gideon’s battle against Midian. This chapter reveals one of the most powerful and counterintuitive lessons in all of Tanach: sometimes victory comes דווקא through less, fewer people, fewer resources, and fewer reasons to rely on anything but Hashem. As Gideon’s army is reduced from 32,000 to just 300 men, Ari and Jeremy uncover the deeper purpose behind this process. This is not just a military strategy, it is a spiritual refinement. The battle is not only against Midian, but against the illusion of self-reliance, teaching that true redemption leaves no room for “my own strength saved me.” In this video, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight Gideon’s transformation into a true warrior of faith, navigating fear, taking action, and learning to trust Hashem completely. From the dream of the barley loaf to the shocking battle plan of shofars, jars, and torches, this episode reveals how Hashem works through what appears weak, small, and insufficient to bring about ultimate victory. 📖 Topics: • Judges 7 explained • Gideon’s 300 men • Faith vs. self-reliance • Hishtadlut and trust in Hashem • The barley loaf dream • Shofar, jars, and torches • Courage in the face of fear • Spiritual warfare in Shoftim This teaching reveals a timeless message: true strength is not measured by numbers or power, but by clarity of faith. When everything is stripped away and only trust in Hashem remains, that is when the greatest victories become possible.

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/ In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 6 and introduce one of Israel’s most unlikely leaders — Gideon. This chapter reveals a new kind of struggle, where Israel is not conquered by force but slowly drained through relentless oppression, leaving the nation hiding, exhausted, and on the brink of collapse. Through the story of Gideon, Ari and Jeremy uncover a powerful shift in how redemption begins. Before salvation comes, there is a moment of truth — a prophetic call to recognize that Israel’s battles are not only physical, but deeply spiritual. From economic warfare to internal reckoning, this episode shows how growth begins when reality is faced head-on. In this video, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight Gideon’s deeply human journey — from doubt and fear to courage and leadership. Rather than being chosen for his strength, Gideon is chosen for his questions, his pain, and his refusal to accept a broken world. Step by step, sign by sign, he grows into his calling, teaching that faith is not instant — it is built through action, honesty, and persistence. 📖 Topics: • Judges 6 explained • Gideon (Gidon) introduction • Midianite oppression and economic warfare • Faith and doubt in leadership • Spiritual vs physical battles • Destroying idolatry (Baal altar) • Signs from Hashem (the fleece) • Growing into leadership and emunah This Shoftim / Book of Judges teaching reveals a timeless message: Hashem does not wait for perfect people — He calls those who are willing. Leadership is not about feeling ready, but about stepping forward even with doubt, and allowing faith to grow through the journey itself.

This powerful chapter is not just a recounting of victory, but a blueprint for how redemption unfolds when a nation recognizes Hashem’s hand and chooses to respond. Through the lens of Shirat Devorah, Ari and Jeremy explore the idea that true redemption is not only experienced but named — in real time. From the connection to Az Yashir and the unfolding song of history, to the role of leadership and voluntary action, this episode reveals how every generation participates in an ongoing divine symphony. Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight the contrast between those who step forward and those who remain passive, the courage of unexpected heroes like Yael, and the powerful message that redemption belongs to those who act when the moment calls. The episode closes with a profound reflection on the cost of victory, the compassion of Deborah, and the enduring light of those who love Hashem. 📖 Topics: • Judges 5 explained • Song of Deborah (Shirat Devorah) • Az Yashir and redemption • Leadership and free will (Hitnadvut) • Yael vs. Meroz • Seeing Hashem in history • The cost of victory and compassion in leadership • The ongoing song of redemption This teaching reveals a timeless message: redemption is not only about what happens, but about how we respond to it. When we pause to recognize, give thanks, and step forward with courage, we become active participants in the unfolding story — adding our own voice to the eternal song of Israel.

In this powerful Land of Israel Fellowship session from Israel, Jeremy Gimpel reflects on the emotional and spiritual weight of the days between Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut, where national grief meets miraculous rebirth. Ari Abramowitz shares a deeply personal dvar Torah after missing a night of counting the Omer for the first time in years. What begins as a moment of failure becomes a profound spiritual insight: The Hebrew word for “wound” (nega) contains the same letters as “delight” (oneg). The difference is how it’s revealed. Through vulnerability, marriage, and faith, Ari explores how setbacks can become gateways to deeper connection with God, with others, and within ourselves. Even in weakness, we remain “Adam” created with divine dignity. This message connects to the larger story unfolding in Israel today: Out of national pain is emerging unity, faith, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Israel is once again oppressed, this time by Sisera and 900 iron chariots, representing overwhelming military power. For 20 years, Israel suffers under fear and domination until a prophetess emerges under a palm tree: Devorah, the judge of Israel. She calls Barak to battle and declares a powerful truth: “Has Hashem not commanded?” This war is already decided in Heaven before it begins, “Hashem has delivered Sisera into your hand.” But the victory does not come through expected strength. Instead, the story shifts to unexpected courage, moral clarity, and decisive action. Barak hesitates. Devorah leads. And Yael, acting alone and without command, brings down Sisera in one of the most shocking moments in Tanach. 📖 Topics include: Judges Chapter 4 explained Devorah the prophetess and judge Barak and faith vs hesitation Sisera and 900 iron chariots Yael and the tent peg story (Judges 4:21 corrected focus) Moral clarity vs neutrality Women of valor in the Bible How divine victory unfolds in hidden ways This Shoftim / Book of Judges teaching reveals a timeless message: history is not moved by power alone but by clarity, courage, and action at the right moment.

What does “victory” actually mean in this context? And how does that definition shift when viewed through the lens of Israel’s Memorial Day and Independence Day? We explore historic diplomatic movements, including unprecedented U.S.-hosted talks between Israel and Lebanon the first such discussions in decades while tensions escalate as Hezbollah resists negotiations and Turkey’s President Erdoğan signals possible military involvement. The episode also examines key internal and global pressures: rising opposition among U.S. Senate Democrats to arms sales to Israel, a controversial legal case involving an IDF reservist in Samaria, and new immigration data showing tens of thousands of Jews continuing to make aliyah despite ongoing conflict. Beyond politics and war, we look at a deeper cultural shift underway, as a new generation in Israel is reconnecting with Jewish identity in powerful and unexpected ways. With regional instability, shifting alliances, and ideological battles intensifying, this conversation challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level headlines and engage with the deeper realities shaping Israel’s present and future.

This chapter introduces the nations left in the land as a “test,” leading to Israel’s repeated cycle of forgetting, oppression, crying out, and redemption. From Othniel, the first judge, to Ehud ben Gera and the surprising downfall of Eglon, we see how God works through unexpected people, unexpected moments, and even human weakness to bring salvation. This Book of Judges also highlights one of the most famous stories in Shoftim, Ehud the left-handed deliverer and the hidden providence behind Israel’s victory over Moab. Even the smallest details become instruments of redemption. 📖 Topics include: Judges Chapter 3 explained The cycle of the Judges (forgetting → crisis → redemption) Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar Ehud and King Eglon story explained “God left the nations to test Israel” (Judges 3:1) Divine providence in hidden details Israel, memory, and spiritual identity This Shoftim / Book of Judges teaching reveals a timeless message: even when Israel forgets, God never does and every cry brings redemption.

This teaching reveals what happens when a generation inherits everything but forgets the story behind it. The Book of Judges begins with a divine warning: Israel has entered the land, but a new generation arises “who did not know Hashem.” From here begins the famous cycle of Judges forgetting, crisis, oppression, crying out, and redemption through judges sent by God. In this video Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel uncover a deep spiritual truth: the greatest danger to Israel is not external enemies, but forgetting identity, covenant, and purpose. Even as God warns and allows challenges to remain in the land, it is not punishment but a divine test of faith and remembrance. 📖 Topics include: Judges Chapter 2 explained “A generation that did not know Hashem” The cycle of the Judges Bochim and the cry of Israel Covenant, memory, and identity in Israel Why God leaves challenges in the land (Judges 2:21–22 corrected focus) The Book of Judges / Shoftim Bible teaching connects ancient Israel to modern Israel showing how spiritual memory shapes national destiny.

This powerful Torah teaching reveals how Israel moves from miracle and conquest into the long struggle of sustaining faith, leadership, and purpose in the Land of Israel. The chapter highlights the rise of Judah, the first inquiries to God after Joshua’s death, the story of Adoni-Bezek, and the repeated phrase “they did not drive them out.” Together, these themes reveal the danger of partial redemption, spiritual compromise, and unfinished transformation.

Dr. Kenneth Levin has made a career of battling the aggression, canards and outright lies spewed by anti-Israel media, educational institutions and political activists. His newest book focuses on the Jewish communities’ self delusion in an era of rapidly rising anti-Semitism. He tells Eve Harow that intense hatred emanating from the far right is sadly expected, but the Jewish leadership identification with and capitulation to ‘progressives’, jihadists and black nationalists is naive, appalling and dangerous. His expertise in psychiatry and history combine in this very important book to cogently explain the differences and commonalities of the modern expressions on the oldest hatred. In memory of the 6 million who paid the ultimate price and in honor of the Israelis who will never let it happen again.

In this episode, we explore Joshua Chapter 23—a powerful and often overlooked turning point in the story of Israel. The wars are over. The Land has been conquered. The people are finally settled. But as Joshua nears the end of his life, he delivers a final message that reframes everything: The real challenge isn’t winning the Land… It’s staying faithful while living in it. Why does Joshua insist that it was God—not Israel—who won the battles? What does it truly mean to become a vessel for divine strength? And why is the greatest danger not external enemies—but internal drift? This episode dives into one of the Bible’s most timeless spiritual warnings: Victory is not the end—it’s the beginning of responsibility. Joshua calls on the people—and on us—to remain strong not just in moments of struggle, but in times of comfort and success. We explore themes of: Spiritual resilience after success Identity, Torah, and staying rooted The danger of distraction and assimilation Choosing connection over complacency Because even when you’re exactly where you’re meant to be… you can still drift. This isn’t just Joshua’s farewell. It’s a message across generations. The same question he asked then still stands today: Will we hold fast to Hashem—or slowly drift away? Chazak Ve’Amatz.

In this episode, we dive into Joshua Chapter 22, where the battles have ended and the Land is finally settled… yet a new and unexpected crisis emerges. The tribes of Israel come dangerously close to civil war—not because of hatred, but because of a misunderstanding fueled by fear and silence. Why did the eastern tribes build a massive altar that alarmed the rest of the nation? How did assumptions nearly tear the people apart? And what can this moment teach us about unity, communication, and identity today? This powerful chapter reveals a timeless truth: the most dangerous conflicts don’t begin with enemies—they begin with miscommunication. But when people choose to listen and seek truth, unity can be restored. Joshua 22 reminds us that even when we are separated by distance or differences, we remain one people—bound by a shared covenant and destiny.

In Joshua Chapters 20–21, the wars have ended—but the true mission is just beginning. Through the command to establish Cities of Refuge and distribute Levitical cities, a bold vision emerges: Israel is not meant to be just another nation, but a society built on justice, compassion, and Torah. Why does the Torah designate entire cities for those who make unintentional mistakes? What does it look like to balance accountability with mercy? And why must spiritual leadership be embedded throughout everyday life, rather than set apart? These chapters reveal that redemption isn’t only about returning to the Land—it’s about shaping a civilization worthy of the Divine Presence. A nation where justice is lived, mercy is practiced, and Torah guides daily life. “Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made… failed. All came to pass.” (Joshua 21:45) This episode invites a deeper question: Are we simply living in the Land—or are we elevating it?

But beneath the lists of borders and cities lies a deeper reality: this is where the dream becomes real life. This is where responsibility begins. From Ephraim and Menashe facing the challenge of fully inheriting their portion, to the establishment of Shiloh as Israel’s spiritual center, these chapters reveal that redemption is not just about receiving the land but about becoming worthy of it. What does it mean to live inside a blessing? Why is building harder than conquering? And how do we rise to meet the responsibility of a fulfilled promise? This episode of Prophets of Israel Daily uncovers the moment where vision turns into reality and reminds us that the true test is not in receiving the promise, but in how we choose to live it.

But the story isn’t just about land. It’s about Caleb stepping into his inheritance and Achsah drawing out its hidden blessing. Joshua 15 teaches that redemption comes in stages: first we inherit, then we cultivate, and even then, completion is not immediate. How do we claim our portion of the promise today? What does Achsah’s request for living water teach about building life and blessing into the land? And why is Jerusalem, the heart of the story, still calling us forward?

What does his story teach about faith that survives decades of waiting? And how does his example inspire us to claim the promises God has placed before us today?

In this powerful and deeply personal session of the Land of Israel Fellowship, Ari Abramowitz shares a message in the midst of personal and communal challenges. As we approach Pesach (Passover), Shabbat HaGadol, and Parshat Tzav, this session explores a profound idea: the Exodus is not just a story from the past—it is a living process unfolding within us and around us right now. Through raw reflection, Ari confronts what happens when the identity we rely on is suddenly stripped away. What does it mean when we can no longer be “the one who carries”? And what does it look like to allow Hashem to carry us instead? Woven into this episode are themes of grief, healing, and resilience, including reflections from a house of mourning (shiva), heartfelt prayers for the community, and moving eulogies that illuminate how we carry forward the legacy of those we love. Set against the backdrop of current events in Israel, this episode reveals a timeless pattern: moments of fear, pressure, and uncertainty often precede revelation and redemption. This is an invitation to: Let go of limiting identities Step into the unknown Trust in a deeper unfolding story Because redemption is not just something we remember—it’s something we are living.

Hashem commands the division of the land before the conquest is complete, teaching that inheritance comes before perfection and that progress unfolds step by step, generation by generation. Why does the chapter start with unfinished work? What does this teach about faith, responsibility, and living within the miracle while still building it? And how does the spiritual inheritance of the Levites remind us that some victories are eternal, beyond geography or politics? This episode of Prophets of Israel Daily shows that redemption rarely arrives complete—it unfolds gradually, demanding courage, persistence, and faith at every stage. Chazak Ve’Amatz!

In Joshua Chapter 12, the Bible pauses the drama to list every king defeated by Moses and Joshua—a total of 31 kings. At first glance, it seems like just a list, but these names are milestones of conquest, proof that God’s promises are becoming reality, piece by piece. Why does the Torah meticulously record each battle? What does this teach about patience, persistence, and step-by-step redemption? And how can we see today’s challenges as part of a larger story that God is guiding toward fulfillment? This episode of Prophets of Israel Daily reveals that real transformation, whether in history or in our own lives, is built one faithful step at a time. Every small victory matters. Chazak Ve’Amatz!

In Joshua Chapter 11, Israel faces the largest coalition yet, the kings of northern Canaan unite with armies “as many as the sands of the seashore.” Outnumbered, out-equipped, and facing impossible odds, Joshua does the unthinkable: he strikes first, launching a surprise assault that changes history. Why does Hashem command Israel to destroy the horses and chariots? What does this teach about faith, power, and trusting God over technology? And how do we see the hand of Providence in moments when fear seems unavoidable? This episode of Prophets of Israel Daily shows us that true victory comes not from might or numbers, but from courage, faith, and partnership with Hashem, lessons as relevant today as they were then.

This episode of Prophets of Israel Daily reveals a powerful truth: when faith and courage align, even time itself can bend to purpose. Chazak Ve’Amatz!

In Joshua Chapter 9, Israel isn’t defeated by war, but by deception. The Gibeonites arrive with worn clothes and stale bread—and Israel makes a critical mistake: they don’t seek God’s guidance. Why are “reasonable” decisions sometimes the most dangerous? How can success lead to spiritual blind spots? And what does this story teach about leadership, faith, and responsibility today? This episode of Prophets of Israel Daily reveals a powerful truth: redemption is not sustained by strategy alone—but by staying connected to the Divine voice. Chazak Ve’Amatz!

Bar Ilan professor Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman has just published a Hagadda for Passover. Based on his research on ancient Egypt it’s clear that the Torah was written in that context, something Eve Harow experienced when she travelled there with Dr. Berman 3 years ago. They discuss the revolutionary thought of the Torah in varied aspects including freedom for the individual and a personal relationship with our Creator. The book is a timely synthesis of Torah and academia and its beautiful illustrations will draw the younger generation into the Seder as well.

In Joshua Chapter 8, Israel recovers from defeat at Ai and steps into a new kind of victory—one built not on miracles, but on strategy, courage, and renewed faith. Why does this battle look different from Jericho? What changes after failure? And why does Joshua pause the war to build an altar and publicly read the Torah? This episode of Prophets of Israel Daily reveals a powerful truth: redemption isn’t just about rising—it’s about realigning. Because success without humility can lead right back to failure.

In Joshua Chapter 7, Israel goes from the victory of Jericho to a shocking defeat at Ai. The reason? Not strategy—but hidden sin. One man’s choice impacts an entire nation, revealing a powerful truth: victory isn’t sustained by miracles—it’s sustained by integrity. Why does spiritual compromise weaken strength? What can failure teach us about growth and responsibility? And how does redemption continue after a fall?

In Joshua Chapter 6, the walls of Jericho don’t fall because of military strength — they fall because of faith. The conquest of Jericho begins not with swords or siege towers, but with silence. Seven priests. Seven shofars. Seven days. A nation circling in obedience. And then, a shout. Why did Israel’s first conquest look nothing like war? What is the deeper meaning of the number seven? And what does Jericho teach us about faith, identity, and modern Israel today?

In Joshua Chapter 4, the Jordan River has already split, and the people of Israel have crossed into the Promised Land. But instead of celebration alone, God commands Joshua to build a memorial of twelve stones, not for those who witnessed the miracle, but for future generations who didn’t. In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore a profound truth: miracles may inspire, but memory sustains a nation. Why does God emphasize teaching the next generation? How do questions deepen faith rather than weaken it? And what is the meaning behind the two memorials, one seen on dry land, and one hidden beneath the waters? This episode uncovers how redemption becomes legacy, and why preserving history is essential to identity, both personal and national. Join us as we dive into the Book of Joshua and discover how ancient stones continue to shape Israel’s story, and ours, today.

👉 Join The Prophets of Israel Daily and walk through the Bible, one chapter at a time: https://thelandofisrael.com/prophets-of-israel/ After 40 years in the wilderness, Israel stands at the edge of the Promised Land—facing a flooded Jordan River with no way across. And then comes the command: Step in. In this episode, we explore why the waters didn’t split until the priests moved forward, the meaning of “Sanctify yourselves,” and the shift from open miracles to hidden providence in the Land of Israel. Unlike the Red Sea, this miracle happened out of sight. The people didn’t see the waters rise—they simply walked forward in faith. This is the model for life: not spectacle, but partnership with God. Not certainty, but courage. The Jordan crossing isn’t just history—it’s a blueprint. The waters don’t part for spectators. They part for those who step forward. Chazak Ve’Ematz.

Before Israel fights its first battle in the Land, the Bible tells the surprising story of a Canaanite woman whose faith changes everything. In Joshua Chapter 2, we uncover the prophetic blueprint behind Rahab, the two spies, and the fall of Jericho. In this episode we explore: • Why Joshua sends two spies and how it rectifies the sin of the spies in Numbers • Rahab’s powerful declaration of faith in the God of Israel • The deeper meaning of the scarlet cord and its connection to redemption • How the righteous among the nations partner with Israel in God’s plan Before the walls of Jericho fall physically, they collapse spiritually. Rahab is not a side character—she is part of the prophetic pattern that runs from Rahab to Ruth to the vision of the Prophets.

Join here: https://thelandofisrael.com/prophets-of-israel/ In this Land of Israel Fellowship session, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the Torah portion Vayakhel–Pekudei in light of current events in Israel. Ari shares a powerful moment from a recent wedding in the hills of Judea. As sirens sounded and missiles crossed the sky, the circles of dancing didn’t stop. Instead, the celebration continued a living expression of the Jewish spirit that refuses to surrender faith, joy, or hope. Through the story of the Mishkan and the gathering of the people after the Golden Calf, this conversation explores how redemption begins when a people come together again building faith, community, and courage even in uncertain times. Moving from the hidden miracles of Purim toward the revealed redemption of Passover, this episode reflects on what it means to keep building, believing, and even dancing in the midst of history.

Missile sirens are sounding across Israel as rockets and drones are launched from Iran and Lebanon, sending families rushing to bomb shelters day and night. In this episode, we share what life has been like over the past few days living through the war in Israel. We discuss the latest missile barrages, the damage across the country, and how Israel’s air defenses are intercepting the majority of incoming threats. We also break down major developments in the conflict, including reports that Israel has significantly degraded Iran’s missile-launch capabilities, dramatic battlefield stories, and new intelligence assessments about the Iranian regime. Alongside the military updates, we reflect on powerful moments of faith, resilience, and what many are calling miraculous survival stories as Israelis continue to face the realities of war.

In Joshua Chapter 5, the people of Israel finally stand inside the Promised Land. The Jordan River has split. The vision of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is no longer a distant prophecy, it’s now a lived reality. But instead of advancing to battle, everything pauses. Before Jericho falls, God commands a moment of spiritual reset: covenant renewal at Gilgal. Circumcision. Passover. And then, something unexpected, the manna stops. The generation raised on daily miracles must now step into a new phase: a life of responsibility, partnership, and faith without visible wonders. In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore: Why spiritual preparation comes before physical victory The deeper meaning behind the end of manna, why it’s not loss, but growth The mysterious appearance of the Commander with the drawn sword How Joshua’s generation reflects the challenges of our own time What it truly means to move from miracles to divine providence This chapter reveals a powerful truth: redemption is not the end, it’s the beginning of a relationship with purpose.

What does crossing the Jordan really mean? And what does Joshua’s message teach us about faith, leadership, and the destiny of Israel today? The Book of Joshua begins with a challenge that still echoes today: Will we stand at the river analyzing the currents—or step forward in faith?

As missiles strike Israel and the region faces growing instability, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the deeper spiritual dimension of war, prophecy, and faith. What does the Bible say about conflicts surrounding Israel? And how might current events echo the ancient prophecies found in Ezekiel 38–39, often associated with the war of Gog and Magog? In this episode we discuss: • The spiritual meaning of the Torah portion Ki Tisa • Seeing God’s providence by “looking back” at unfolding events (Exodus 33) • The rising confrontation with Iran (ancient Persia) • The biblical concept of Amalek and its recurring role throughout history • Connections between the story of Purim and events happening in our generation • The growing global conversation about the Third Temple in Jerusalem • Why every war, according to Jewish tradition, awakens the potential for redemption and Messiah We also take time to pray together for the peace of Jerusalem, the safety of Israel’s soldiers, and healing and strength for members of our Fellowship community around the world. In times of uncertainty, we turn back to the Bible, the prophets, and prayer, seeking God’s guidance and understanding as history unfolds.

In this episode, we explore the military developments, the geopolitical stakes, and the deeper prophetic questions surrounding this rapidly unfolding war. We discuss several remarkable firsts, including the first time since World War II that a U.S. submarine has sunk an enemy warship with a torpedo, and the first-ever combat air-to-air kill by an F-35 fighter jet, when an Israeli aircraft shot down an Iranian plane over Tehran. At the same time, Iran’s missile and drone attacks have dropped dramatically as the war progresses. What does this shift reveal about the balance of power in the conflict? Who is actually winning the war so far, and what are the real strategic goals of Israel and the United States? Beyond the military developments, we explore the broader questions shaping the Middle East. Why has Iran attacked so many countries across the region? Could this conflict be connected to the prophecy described in Ezekiel 38? And could the war reshape the future of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and the possibility of a Third Temple? We also share what it’s like living in Israel during wartime, including discovering missile fragments in Jerusalem and witnessing firsthand the reality of the conflict as it unfolds.

As Israel and the United States launch unprecedented airstrikes against Iranian military leadership — including the reported elimination of Ayatollah Khamenei — we process what it means to witness history, prophecy, and war unfolding in real time. With missile sirens, bomb shelters, and a nation on alert, this Fellowship gathering explores the powerful spiritual parallels between today’s conflict and the story of Purim. Is this a modern-day Megillah? Are we confronting a new manifestation of Amalek? What does faith look like when redemption feels both near and uncertain? Jeremy recounts a peaceful Shabbat at the Arugot Farm shattered by red alerts. Ari shares the surreal experience of hearing Parshat Zachor and running to a shelter during the priestly blessing in Efrat. Tehila offers a profound teaching on Purim — not as passive salvation, but as a moment when the Jewish people stepped into courage, agency, and strength. This episode explores: • The 2026 Israel-Iran war and its prophetic implications • Purim, Haman, and the concept of Amalek today • Faith under fire in modern Israel • Divine concealment and revelation in geopolitics • Free will, courage, and redemption More than analysis, this is a raw and intimate window into life in Israel during wartime — where ancient scripture feels alive and faith transforms fear into purpose.

👉Join our live weekly fellowship — connect, pray, and learn with us from the hills of Judea. 🔗 https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ Hosted by Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel, this episode focuses on Parshat Terumah and the deeper meaning of building a sanctuary for God’s Presence. As war clouds gather over Israel and uncertainty fills the air, Ari shares a powerful personal story — from a pre-dawn blackout that felt like the beginning of war to a Shabbat storm that unexpectedly brought dozens of future IDF soldiers into one small home. The realization? The storm didn’t ruin the joy — it created it. In Terumah, God doesn’t say, “Build Me a place for sacrifices.” He says, “Make for Me a sanctuary and I will dwell among them.” The Mishkan was about relationship, not ritual — about hosting Divine Presence in the middle of instability. As we enter the month of Adar, we explore why the sages teach that we must increase in joy — not because life is easy, but because joy is the spiritual vessel that builds redemption. Fear closes the heart. Joy opens space for God to dwell within us. Listen in for Torah, faith, and strength for the times we’re living in.
