Shoulder to Shoulder

Pesach and Doug sit down with Elliot Chodoff, who is no stranger to our audience. Elliot has been in the situation room strategizing and advising on the military operations in Gaza since the beginning of the war. Elliot gives us some incredibly helpful and detailed information about the progress, the battles, the towns, tunnels, and what to expect next.

If you want to learn the real story of the war against Hamas and the skirmishes against Hezbollah - going beyond the headlines and hearing information from a genuine insider - you simply cannot miss this episode.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Frank Gaffney, Executive VP of the Center for Security Policy and Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy under President Ronald Reagan. They discuss Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the origins of Islam. But the real centerpiece of this conversation revolves around members of the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrating our own government and western society, according to Mr. Gaffney, in a covert jihad. You don't want to miss this disturbing but crucial episode.

A month into Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, Pesach and Doug sit down with tech and business guru Hillel Fuld to have a vulnerable conversation. On the one hand, Hillel is on the front lines of the information battle online, while on the other he is struggling like so many Israelis with the difficult news and stories that come out every day. As Hillel shares his own personal struggles since the war began, we get a raw glimpse into the hearts and minds of the people of Israel, and a better sense of a new daily reality which has radically changed everything in their lives. Also: a war update with Major Libby Weiss of the IDF Spokesman's Office.

Doug and Pesach are joined by David Lange from Israellycool to discuss the rise in antisemitism around the word since October 7th. It leads into an interesting discussion of alliances that are forming around support for Hamas that, on the surface, make no sense. As we explore the connection between radical Islam and the secular far left, we find what is a seemingly spiritual alliance against believers of the God of the Bible.

As the war continues to rage in Gaza and Israel continues to defend herself, the traditional media, politicians, and social media send mixed information and misinformation regarding the war efforts. Pesach and Doug discuss three major talking points to clear the air, as well as to provide you with ammunition you need the next time you hear someone say, "Hamas are freedom fighters" or "Israel stole this land from the Palestinians." So get a pen and a notebook for this episode so you can absorb all the correct information. Israel needs you today - and this is how you can help.

On this episode we start with an important update directly from the IDF. Lt. Masha Michelson shares some gut-wrenching first-hand accounts of what was found as the Israeli army entered the towns in the south that had been slaughtered; the description of the devestation was heart rending. Then Pesach and Doug unpack Psalm 83, which is the Psalm that has been chosen to be read at every fallen Israeli soldier's funeral. (In the midst of their discussion of Psalm 83, they were interrupted by air raid sirens in Bet Shemesh; you'll hear that, as well.) After the all clear was given the recording continued; the experience was a staunch reminder of what is really going on in Israel and how desperately we must pray.

Doug and Pesach are briefed by Lt. Masha Michelson, Deputy Chief of the IDF press office. Then we are joined by Major (res.) Elliot Chodoff, who shares his insight into what went wrong and what to look for in the days ahead.

Pesach and Doug meet in Jerusalem for another conversation with a first-time visitor to Israel! Listen in as they speak with Jacob Stanley, a young businessman from New York, to hear about his life and his search for God, and how he just might have found Him in Jerusalem. Plus: don't miss Pesach's interpretation of the "fallen 'sukkah' of David," and the reason that Jews carry around four plants(!) on the holiday of Sukkot.

In this classic episode, Pesach does a deep dive into the mystery of Sukkot as presented in the Bible. Is Sukkot an exclusively Jewish holiday, or does it have special meaning for Christians, as well? The answer is not as simple as you might think - and Doug wonders what this might mean for his life as a Christian.
