“He who saves one life saves the world entire.”

These words from the Talmud have inspired generations of people of faith. And they have certainly influenced the life of this week’s podcast guest, Allied Voices for Israel Founder, Daniel Koren.

An Israeli and a Canadian. A former journalist and a current shaper of the next generation. Daniel is of the Bukharian Jewish community—“a minority within a minority,” he says, giving us a brief history of his ancestors’ food and culture—and has vowed to be a voice for God’s people and a voice against hatred.

Sharing with Yael about his own place in the Jewish world, how music led his choices in both career and embracing his culture and faith, and the challenges and rewards of fighting anti-Semitism in our troubled world, Daniel sits down with Yael to discuss what we all can do to be advocates for Israel and spread its light to the nations.

Join us for this important conversation about fighting hate and spreading light as advocates and allies for Israel!

As a kid, did you count down the days until school ended and summer began? I know I did! And even as grownups, we count down the days to important events—a milestone birthday, a wedding, an anniversary, or a graduation.

But when we count down the days, we can disregard them as mere obstacles to get through in order to reach the big event, rather than as the priceless gift that each day is.

As we prepare to celebrate Shavuot, the Bible teaches us to count each day in a way that celebrates the moment. On this episode, we’ll learn how counting each day—in the right way—is the secret to making every day count.

This month, Jews in Israel celebrate Jerusalem Day—Yom Yerushalayim—commemorating the miraculous reunification of God’s Holy City after the Six-Day War of 1967.

But as Yael Eckstein explains, we ALL—Christians and Jews—should celebrate Jerusalem! Not only is it God’s designated place where His Holy Temple once stood—and will someday stand again—but as the psalmist says, “If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill” (Psalm 137:5).

God does not want us to forget His eternal capital!

Join Yael as she explores the spiritual significance of Jerusalem and why its historical reunification is so important. Let’s praise God for the miracles He has done—and is doing—in Jerusalem!
