Omar is an American of Somali descent elected to the United States House of Representatives for the State of Minnesota. For weeks, they’ve been spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric and vitriol against Israel and Israeli Prime Minister, ...

Violence erupts on the Temple Mount, and what it means The Temple Mount is unlike any other holy site in the world … And there’s no other place on the planet that holds more meaning and sacred significance to the Jewish people – at the base of which the Western Wall of the old Temple courtyard still stands. The Temple Mount is where Abraham prepared to offer his son Isaac in obedience until – foreshadowing the eventual coming of Messiah – God stopped him and provided a substitute sacrif...

She was fine for the first three months of her life. But at six months, the baby started showing signs that something wasn’t right. By 18 months, it was clear to everyone that something was wrong with the little girl from Kechene in Ethiopia. Her father thought she was cursed. So, he left, washing his hands of any responsibility to love or care for the girl and her mother. Desperately poor after he abandoned them, the mother had no choice but to seek work in the greater Addis Ababa area, of ...

When we first visited Gutu, Zimbabwe, in 2014, 75-year-old Mandinyenya spent five hours waiting to get into the Clinic and said it was well worth the wait. He also said, “I want the people in America to pray for us. And I want the Clinic to come back again!” We did return to Gutu, and, now, we are going again. It’s been three years since our last visit. The fact that Jewish Voice is bringing another free Medical Clinic to the area is, no doubt, good news to the people of Gutu. However, we des...

The Temple – it was the focal point of Israel and Judaism. It was where God dwelled. It was the embodiment of Jewish people’s relationships with God. It was where they brought their offerings and where their sins were covered. And it was in the location where the Lord chose to put His Name (see Deuteronomy 12, 14, 16). Three times each year, Jewish men came from all over the Land and the world to present their harvest offerings at Firstfruits, Shavuot and Sukkot. The Temple brought the wides...

Israel defends herself in targeted, strategic strikes against Iran and Hezbollah Since the eruption of conflict began in 2011, Israel has defended itself by carrying out hundreds of airstrikes targeting Iranian and Hezbollah forces entrenched in Syria. Many of Israel’s strikes are in an effort to prevent weapons from being transferred and distributed among Iranian-backed terror organizations that seek to utterly destroy Israel. In mid-July, it was reported that the Israeli Air Forc...

August 1‒7 Prayer for Israel Border Communities On all sides, Israel faces people who resent her existence. The Golan Heights in Israel’s northeast is critical to her defense, and Syria wants it back. Syria’s civil war and Iran’s meddling presence there brought fighting dangerously close to the Golan border. Hezbollah in Lebanon to the north and Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip to the south are consumed with eliminating Israel. Israeli communities in these boundary regions are vul...
