Chatting with Gideon Ariel, inter-faith bridge-builder
My guest today is Gidon Ariel, founder and CEO of Root Source, an organization dedicated to promoting respectful relationships between pro-Israel Christians and Jews. Gidon spent close to a decade in advanced Jewish studies institutes (Yeshivas) and the Israeli Army. After 20 years in the Tank Corps, today he is a reserve officer in the IDF Spokesperson’s office. A pioneer in Jewish-Christian relations, Gidon is a seasoned Hebrew and Judaism instructor and public speaker. He lives with his family in the suburb of Hebron, an ancient Biblical city.
Join our conversation as we chat about the continuous Jewish presence in the area of Hebron and all of Judea since biblical times, in today's world where history is trying to be rewritten by Israel's enemies. Gidon shares about what it is like to live in the 'settlements' and has a message for anyone in the world with an opinion on settlements in the West Bank: "reach out to a settler and talk to him". I am giving you the opportunity through this podcast to hear how 'settler' actually is, and what he thinks about coexistence with his Arab neighbours. Find out from an actual person who lives in the West Bank/Judea before you make up your mind about the issue of Israeli settlements with information from the media.
