The Independence of the State of Israel would not be made possible without the sacrifice of those we remember.

At 13, every Jewish boy celebrates his Bar Mitzvah, marking a passage from childhood to maturity. As the boy climbs up the synagogue’s stage to read the Torah portion, he also takes much responsibility upon his shoulders.

Man's divine design was to be continually filled with revelation knowledge. In the Garden of Eden, humanity enjoyed direct communion with God, receiving divine insights daily. Adam and Eve conversed with God, gaining understanding directly from Him.

Satan disrupted this divine plan by tempting humanity to rely on their own reasoning. By suggesting that humans could attain godlike knowledge of good and evil, Satan proposed self-reliance and rationalism as alternatives to divine revelation (Genesis 3:5). This led to a shift from reliance on God's wisdom to human reasoning, resulting in a curse. As a consequence, humanity was cut off from the Tree of Life, losing the direct flow of revelation (Genesis 3:22).

The Feasts of God lay out His redemptive plan for mankind. God’s feasts are His appointed times. Passover stands tall as one of the most sacred occasions in the Jewish calendar, drawing families together for the revered Seder meal, a ritual steeped in tradition and history. Within its fabric lies a profound narrative, recounting the journey of Israel and divine intervention that secured their liberation. Here, we delve into five pivotal reasons why Passover holds such paramount importance.

Covenant can be defined as an agreement between God and man that cannot be broken. Covenant is the framework for all of the events in the Bible. The covenants of the Bible come in a consecutive series that logically build upon one another:

There are numerous lessons one can glean from Esther's astonishing story. An orphaned Jewess raised by her cousin Mordecai, Esther, with her beauty and favor, becomes the Queen of Persia. King Ahasuerus’ (Xerxes I) royal vizier, Haman, hated the Jews, particularly Mordecai, who would not bow or pay homage to him.

“Being Israeli is: to argue like crazy and then fight side by side. To travel in India and then look for the first flight home. To insist on coming to reserve duty even though you weren’t called up. To hold the tassels of your tallit even though you’re an atheist. To keep on hoping in spite of the atrocities. To be shocked by the clips (of war) and then shout AM YISRAEL CHAI.”

From time immemorial, the right to defend oneself from unprovoked aggression has been recognized in every civilization known to man. Indeed, the right to national self-defense in the face of attack has been recognized as an inherent right of states since the very emergence of international law. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right? Not when it comes to Israel unfortunately.

How many times have we heard the statement that “You never truly know or appreciate what you have until it’s taken away”? This brave Israeli paratrooper fighting in Gaza is sounding a clarion call to action: Appreciate your lives and your loved ones before it’s too late! Here are excerpts from his moving letter:

The world is moving forward, there is a plan here, evil is not here to stay, it is temporary. The nation of Israel is small but eternal and strong.

The world is moving forward, there is a plan here, evil is not here to stay, it is temporary. The nation of Israel is small but eternal and strong.

While varied schools of thought have different reasons as to why some survive and others perish, as children of God we always have a great opportunity to bring His comfort and love in difficult situations. And whether we perish or survive, our prayer is that in every situation, God would cause all things to work together for the highest good

Miracle: an extraordinary event taken as a sign of the supernatural power of God. Both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are filled with astounding stories of God’s miracles.

“What is a miracle?” Growing up as a child In Israel, I asked myself this question every time I played with the dreidel during Hanukkah, the Feast of Lights. The dreidel has 4 letters in Hebrew representing the words “[A] Great Miracle Happened Here” Ness Gadol Hayah Poh.

Under a recent deal with Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF), Hamas released the first group of Israeli hostages which included: 4 children, 3 mothers, and 6 other women. The United States is hoping that American citizens will be among some of the 50 hostages set for release as part of the four-day ceasefire deal between Hamas and the IDF.

We live in a time when it is becoming increasingly popular to be hateful toward Israel or apathetic at best. Regardless of how the rest of society treats Israel, it is vitally important that we continue to align ourselves with God’s love for Israel and the Jewish people. He has inherently demonstrated through the ages that His plans and purposes for Israel are firmly established.

The National Leadership Center’s Executive Director, Eran Glazer, and his family recently experienced a God-sized miracle during this difficult time in Israel. God is answering your prayers of protection over Israel and our team in Israel.

Those that have found refuge in the God of Israel can count on Him to intervene miraculously in their lives. Have you heard the joke about how the great military generals of all time gathered to talk about their victories? One by one they stood and recounted stories of mind boggling and impressive feats.

Israel, as a nation living under constant existential threat, has developed the keen ability to accurately define its reality. The atrocities we witnessed Iran-backed Hamas commit only cement Israel’s assessment of current realities. For over a decade, they have sounded the alarm on Iranian aggression and Western appeasement.

“Good people often refuse to believe the totality of evil until evil proves them wrong. Let’s not fool ourselves, evil is here and we can’t continue to be blind to that fact.”

Everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence and chose to embrace the teachings of a Jewish Rabbi- Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God. Because of these choices, Mosab was dubbed a traitor by his people, disowned by his father, and suffered an agonizing separation from his family and home.
