Israel is exhausted. 

The war has stretched on for 15 months. 

The weight of it - physically, emotionally, spiritually - is crushing. And yet, as the world watches, the narratives surrounding Israel are being twisted beyond recognition. 

Lies, conspiracies, and political maneuvers flood the headlines, and the church is left asking: 

What is actually happening?

In this episode, we sit down with Moshe - an Israeli with deep personal ties to the military, the land, and the people of Israel. 

He’s lived through war. 

He’s lost friends. 

He’s seen firsthand what’s at stake. 

And he’s here to cut through the noise.

We’re talking about the spiritual and political storm surrounding Israel, the unsettling rise of global anti-Semitism, and why the world is obsessed with placing Israel at the center of every conflict. 

But more than that, we’re wrestling with prophecy, the longing for peace, and the hard truth that Israel is searching for a savior - just not the Savior.

If you care about Israel, if you want to see through the media fog, if you want to understand what the Bible actually says about the days we’re living in - this episode is a must-listen.

Because what’s happening in Israel isn’t just political. 

It’s spiritual. 

And it’s unfolding right before our eyes.

Because understanding Israel means understanding the heartbeat of God’s story.

Listen now. Because the more you understand, the more you can stand.

There’s a growing question in our culture - why should we care about Israel?

Since October 7th, the conversation has changed. The battle isn’t just on the ground - it’s in the media, in our churches, and in the hearts of believers. 

Anti-Zionism is on the rise, and many don’t even see it.

In the first episode of this two-part conversation, we sat down with Moshe Sigulim, a Messianic Jew who holds citizenship in Israel, Canada, and the U.S., to unpack the spiritual war behind the headlines. 

From ancient antisemitism to modern-day propaganda, we expose the undercurrents shaping how the world sees Israel - and why the church cannot afford to stay silent.

This isn’t just about Israel. It’s about the gospel, the church, and God’s promises.

History is being written. Will the church stand with Israel or stay silent?

Life in Israel is a paradox - cafés are full, but the weight of war is everywhere.

Soldiers are in and out of battle.

Families grieve.

The fate of hostages hangs in the balance.

But beyond the physical war, there’s a media war - and right now, truth is losing.

In this episode, we sit down with Mati Shoshani, an IDF reservist and media powerhouse, to pull back the curtain on how the world is being deceived.

From Hamas’ hostage propaganda to mainstream media spin, we expose the dangerous narratives shaping public opinion - and what’s at stake if the world doesn’t wake up.

The battle isn’t just on the ground - it’s in the headlines, in conversations, in churches. What side will you be on?

Welcome back to Season 7 of The Jewish Road Podcast! If you’ve ever watched Fiddler on the Roof, you know the classic scene - Tevye, the village milkman, listens to two men argue, nods at the first and says, “You’re right.” 

Then he hears the other side and says, “You’re right.” 

A bystander protests, “They can’t both be right!” And Tevye, caught in the tension, sighs, “You’re also right.”

That’s Israel today. Stuck between two truths - both undeniably right, both in direct conflict.

On one side, Israel must do everything possible to bring home the hostages taken by Hamas. It’s not just strategic; it’s a sacred, deeply ingrained Jewish value. 

On the other side, Hamas must be defeated decisively, or this will happen again. Over and over.

So, what’s the right answer? Like Tevye’s dilemma, both are right. And that’s the tension Israel - and the Jewish world - wrestles with today.

Together, we explore the story of the Maccabean Revolt, the rededication of the temple, and how God’s faithfulness preserved the Jewish people so the Messiah could come. We also uncover the deeper meaning of Hanukkah, connecting the light of the menorah to Yeshua, the Light of the World. 

This season invites us all to rededicate our lives to God and embrace His faithfulness as we step into a new year.

What You Think About Israelis Might Change

Israelis are often painted as aggressors - heartless warmongers driving their enemies from the land. But what if that narrative is missing the humanity of their story?

In this episode, we sit down with new friends Moshe and Sasha, who share what life really looks like in the middle of the chaos.

Imagine being uprooted from your home, moving four times in one year, all while figuring out how to keep your kids in school and put food on the table. Now, add to that the heartbreak of a tourism business collapsing under the weight of rockets and global fear. This isn’t just geopolitics - it’s survival.

But through it all, a remarkable shift emerges - a Jewish-Israeli perspective of Christians they never expected. Sasha shares her journey of discovering a love and warmth from believers in the West that has transformed her understanding of faith and reconciliation.

It’s a glimpse into how even in war, relationships can heal old wounds. This conversation will challenge what you think you know and leave you with a profound appreciation for the resilience of the Israeli people and the unexpected ways God is moving.
