On Episode 14, Dr. Kenneth Friedman and Rabbi Yisroel Bernath welcome a very special guest, Vered Ben Saadon of Tura Estate Winery. Tura Represents the resurgence of the ancient vineyards of Samaria, the Shomron, Planted by our ancestors thousands of years ago. Vered and Erez Ben Saadon embody the spirit of modern Israel and a return to our homeland. 

They discuss how Tura began out of necessity over two decades ago, and how Tura Estate has grown to a winery producing a quarter of a million bottles a year.

Vered tells the fascinating history of her family, both as Holocaust survivors and as collaborators, her parents' return to Judaism, and aliyah to Israel.

Kenny and Rabbi Yisroel discuss with Vered the current state of the war and how it has affected Tura and the Ben Saadon family, with many seen miracles. 

Vered stresses the need, more than ever, to buy Israeli wine, to support the winemakers, and to visit Israel.
