Tensions Rapidly Escalate As Iran Refuses Surrender, Vows U.S. Retaliation | Boots on the Ground
TBN Israel's Yair Pinto reports on U.S.-Iran tensions and the Israel-Hamas and regional war. U.S.–Iran tensions are escalating rapidly as Tehran issues open threats while refusing key nuclear concessions. In the past 24 hours, additional U.S. Aircraft, including F-22 Raptors and refueling planes have arrived in the region, and carrier strike groups are moving into position, signaling that diplomacy is entering a critical final window. This episode breaks down the growing military buildup, Iran’s dual strategy of negotiation and deterrence, and the regional risks from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Hamas in Gaza that could turn a strike into a broader Middle East confrontation.

  • Iran's leaders defiantly
  • 00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:08.399
  • Declare, we will not surrender
  • 00:00:08.399 --> 00:00:10.334
  • And the united states will
  • 00:00:10.334 --> 00:00:11.802
  • Observe an unprecedented
  • 00:00:11.802 --> 00:00:13.070
  • Attack.
  • 00:00:13.070 --> 00:00:14.038
  • Despite a massive buildup of
  • 00:00:14.638 --> 00:00:16.273
  • American forces on a scale that
  • 00:00:16.273 --> 00:00:17.808
  • The world has not seen in many
  • 00:00:17.808 --> 00:00:19.510
  • Years, senior officials in
  • 00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:21.512
  • Tehran continue to project two
  • 00:00:21.512 --> 00:00:23.614
  • Messages at the same time.
  • 00:00:23.614 --> 00:00:24.882
  • On the one hand, diplomacy is
  • 00:00:25.516 --> 00:00:27.585
  • Continuing, but on the other
  • 00:00:27.585 --> 00:00:29.286
  • Hand, we're also making direct
  • 00:00:29.286 --> 00:00:31.055
  • Threats against the strongest
  • 00:00:31.055 --> 00:00:32.523
  • Military in the world.
  • 00:00:32.523 --> 00:00:33.724
  • But as the clock is ticking,
  • 00:00:33.724 --> 00:00:36.627
  • One thing is clear, the united
  • 00:00:36.627 --> 00:00:38.596
  • States can strike iran in any
  • 00:00:38.596 --> 00:00:40.931
  • Way it chooses.
  • 00:00:40.931 --> 00:00:42.233
  • So welcome to boots on the
  • 00:00:42.233 --> 00:00:43.467

  • Truth about what's happening in
  • 00:00:46.670 --> 00:00:48.272
  • Israel and in the middle east.
  • 00:00:48.272 --> 00:00:50.141
  • So tensions between washington
  • 00:00:50.141 --> 00:00:51.775
  • And tehran are escalating ahead
  • 00:00:51.775 --> 00:00:53.911
  • Of thursday's talks in geneva.
  • 00:00:53.911 --> 00:00:56.213
  • The atollah regime is convinced
  • 00:00:56.213 --> 00:00:58.349
  • That president trump is still
  • 00:00:58.349 --> 00:01:00.050
  • Aiming to bring down the
  • 00:01:00.050 --> 00:01:01.552
  • Islamic republic and they are
  • 00:01:01.552 --> 00:01:03.354
  • Already making contingency
  • 00:01:03.354 --> 00:01:04.955
  • Plans for the day after
  • 00:01:04.955 --> 00:01:06.390
  • Khamenei amidst the possibility
  • 00:01:06.390 --> 00:01:08.492
  • That he could be eliminated.
  • 00:01:08.492 --> 00:01:10.394
  • And trump in his state of the
  • 00:01:11.028 --> 00:01:12.563
  • Union address on tuesday
  • 00:01:12.563 --> 00:01:13.931
  • Evening in washington said,
  • 00:01:13.931 --> 00:01:15.933
  • Iran has developed a weapon
  • 00:01:15.933 --> 00:01:17.768
  • That can threaten europe or our bases
  • 00:01:17.768 --> 00:01:21.405
  • And the white house
  • 00:01:21.872 --> 00:01:22.573
  • Spokesperson added, iran chants
  • 00:01:22.573 --> 00:01:25.009
  • Death to america.
  • 00:01:25.009 --> 00:01:26.610
  • You decide if that's a threat
  • 00:01:26.610 --> 00:01:28.245
  • Or not.
  • 00:01:28.245 --> 00:01:29.013
  • And at the same time, an
  • 00:01:29.013 --> 00:01:30.948
  • American message in persian
  • 00:01:30.948 --> 00:01:32.449
  • Also went out to the citizens
  • 00:01:32.449 --> 00:01:34.218
  • Of iran as part of the
  • 00:01:34.218 --> 00:01:35.753
  • Psychological war and the
  • 00:01:35.753 --> 00:01:37.788
  • Signaling ahead of a decision
  • 00:01:37.788 --> 00:01:39.423
  • While on the ground the forced
  • 00:01:39.423 --> 00:01:41.425
  • Buildup continues.
  • 00:01:41.425 --> 00:01:43.027
  • So according to washington
  • 00:01:43.594 --> 00:01:44.862
  • Post, the united states has
  • 00:01:44.862 --> 00:01:46.730
  • Assumed almost a third of its
  • 00:01:46.730 --> 00:01:48.532
  • Active and deployed naval
  • 00:01:48.532 --> 00:01:50.434
  • Forces in this region as well
  • 00:01:50.434 --> 00:01:53.170
  • As an unprecedented deployment
  • 00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:54.772
  • Of ground-based combat
  • 00:01:54.772 --> 00:01:56.273
  • Aircraft, refueling formations,
  • 00:01:56.273 --> 00:01:58.876
  • And electronic warfare assets.
  • 00:01:58.876 --> 00:02:01.145
  • Now the aircraft carrier gerald
  • 00:02:01.145 --> 00:02:03.280
  • Ford is in the eastern
  • 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:04.481
  • Mediterranean and has already
  • 00:02:04.481 --> 00:02:06.250
  • Been seen near crete over the
  • 00:02:06.250 --> 00:02:08.452
  • Last 24 hours as 12 f-22
  • 00:02:08.452 --> 00:02:11.989
  • Aircraft landed in israel along
  • 00:02:11.989 --> 00:02:14.291
  • With two additional refueling
  • 00:02:14.291 --> 00:02:15.759
  • Aircrafts.
  • 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.594
  • In total, there are reports of
  • 00:02:16.594 --> 00:02:18.462
  • As many as 200 american fighter
  • 00:02:18.462 --> 00:02:20.831
  • Jets in the theater along with
  • 00:02:20.831 --> 00:02:23.033
  • Support aircraft amidst close
  • 00:02:23.033 --> 00:02:25.269
  • Operational coordination
  • 00:02:25.269 --> 00:02:26.670
  • Between the idf and the pentagon
  • 00:02:26.670 --> 00:02:29.373
  • But against the backdrop, iran
  • 00:02:29.974 --> 00:02:31.775
  • Is trying to project an image
  • 00:02:31.775 --> 00:02:33.510
  • Of an imminent diplomatic
  • 00:02:33.510 --> 00:02:35.212
  • Breakthrough.
  • 00:02:35.212 --> 00:02:36.413
  • As foreign minister abbas
  • 00:02:36.413 --> 00:02:37.581
  • Araghtchi repeated this week a
  • 00:02:37.581 --> 00:02:39.316
  • Promise that we will not
  • 00:02:39.316 --> 00:02:40.884
  • Develop a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:02:40.884 --> 00:02:42.653
  • And his deputy said, if there
  • 00:02:42.653 --> 00:02:44.521
  • Is an agreement, that's possible.
  • 00:02:44.521 --> 00:02:48.092
  • But at the very same time,
  • 00:02:48.092 --> 00:02:50.861
  • Tehran is positioning ballistic
  • 00:02:50.861 --> 00:02:52.463
  • Missile launchers near the iraq
  • 00:02:52.463 --> 00:02:54.565
  • Border and advancing in
  • 00:02:54.565 --> 00:02:56.467
  • Surveillance and intelligence
  • 00:02:56.467 --> 00:02:58.035
  • Collection on the american
  • 00:02:58.035 --> 00:02:59.236
  • Bases in this region.
  • 00:02:59.236 --> 00:03:01.005
  • And this is according to
  • 00:03:01.005 --> 00:03:01.905
  • Reuters that say that iran is
  • 00:03:01.905 --> 00:03:04.041
  • Also hoping for a deal with
  • 00:03:04.041 --> 00:03:05.843
  • China to purchase an anti-ship
  • 00:03:05.843 --> 00:03:08.012
  • Hypersonic missile, which would
  • 00:03:08.012 --> 00:03:10.681
  • Be a game changer.
  • 00:03:10.681 --> 00:03:12.116
  • So the irgc, the iranian
  • 00:03:12.116 --> 00:03:13.651
  • Revolutionary guards corps, is
  • 00:03:13.651 --> 00:03:15.386
  • Also conducting missile drills
  • 00:03:15.386 --> 00:03:16.954
  • And otherwise projecting force
  • 00:03:16.954 --> 00:03:19.089
  • On the southern coast to make
  • 00:03:19.089 --> 00:03:20.858
  • Clear that they will not be
  • 00:03:20.858 --> 00:03:22.593
  • Intimidated.
  • 00:03:22.593 --> 00:03:23.560
  • Tbn israel's senior middle east
  • 00:03:24.194 --> 00:03:25.729
  • Analyst mati shoshani will
  • 00:03:25.729 --> 00:03:27.298
  • Bring us a closer look at all
  • 00:03:27.298 --> 00:03:28.966
  • Of this today, including how
  • 00:03:28.966 --> 00:03:30.801
  • Trump is trying to be the
  • 00:03:30.801 --> 00:03:32.236
  • Responsible adult and avoid an
  • 00:03:32.236 --> 00:03:34.538
  • All-out war and why iran would
  • 00:03:34.538 --> 00:03:37.007
  • Get itself into trouble if it
  • 00:03:37.007 --> 00:03:39.243
  • Fires towards israel.
  • 00:03:39.243 --> 00:03:40.477
  • However, israel is also
  • 00:03:40.978 --> 00:03:42.780
  • Concerned about pro-iranian
  • 00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:44.381
  • Militias in iraq joining in in
  • 00:03:44.381 --> 00:03:46.950
  • A regional deterioration.
  • 00:03:46.950 --> 00:03:48.819
  • And meanwhile, inside iran
  • 00:03:49.386 --> 00:03:50.654
  • Itself, student protests have
  • 00:03:50.654 --> 00:03:53.290
  • Now continued for a fourth day
  • 00:03:53.290 --> 00:03:55.559
  • In a row and have included
  • 00:03:55.559 --> 00:03:57.461
  • Clashes with the basij as the
  • 00:03:57.461 --> 00:03:59.697
  • Revolutionary guards declared
  • 00:03:59.697 --> 00:04:01.065
  • That they have the right to
  • 00:04:01.065 --> 00:04:02.533
  • Protest but there are red lines
  • 00:04:02.533 --> 00:04:05.869
  • Also, we must not forget lebanon
  • 00:04:05.869 --> 00:04:08.038
  • Israeli intelligence assesses
  • 00:04:08.672 --> 00:04:10.107
  • That if iran is attacked,
  • 00:04:10.107 --> 00:04:11.842
  • Hezbollah may join in and
  • 00:04:11.842 --> 00:04:13.877
  • Launch missiles and drones
  • 00:04:13.877 --> 00:04:15.346
  • Towards the north of the
  • 00:04:15.346 --> 00:04:16.547
  • Country and the center.
  • 00:04:16.547 --> 00:04:18.282
  • There is a warning that is
  • 00:04:18.849 --> 00:04:20.284
  • Hanging over beirut.
  • 00:04:20.284 --> 00:04:21.885
  • Any fire from the north will
  • 00:04:21.885 --> 00:04:23.721
  • Lead to a renewed crushing of
  • 00:04:23.721 --> 00:04:25.389
  • The infrastructure in lebanon.
  • 00:04:25.389 --> 00:04:27.024
  • The idf is already increasing
  • 00:04:27.658 --> 00:04:29.226
  • Strikes and reports that
  • 00:04:29.226 --> 00:04:30.961
  • Thwarting of hundreds of

  • And in gaza, hamas again
  • 00:04:41.872 --> 00:04:43.707

  • And we all know where this is
  • 00:04:46.310 --> 00:04:47.911

  • 00:05:58.348 --> 00:06:00.784
  • For the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:06:00.784 --> 00:06:02.152
  • And now, we'll go to a short
  • 00:06:02.152 --> 00:06:03.787
  • Commercial break, after which
  • 00:06:03.787 --> 00:06:05.155
  • We'll return to you with tbn
  • 00:06:05.155 --> 00:06:07.124
  • Israel's senior middle east
  • 00:06:07.124 --> 00:06:08.258
  • Analyst, mati shoshani.
  • 00:06:08.258 --> 00:06:13.009
  • Galilee resort your home base
  • 00:06:13.009 --> 00:06:13.218
  • In israel.
  • 00:06:13.218 --> 00:06:17.523
  • Welcome back, and i want to
  • 00:06:18.123 --> 00:06:19.959
  • Give you a quick reminder to
  • 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.527
  • Look for us on youtube, tbn israel.
  • 00:06:21.527 --> 00:06:23.996
  • To get us started, let's tune
  • 00:06:23.996 --> 00:06:25.831
  • In to mati shoshani.
  • 00:06:25.831 --> 00:06:27.399
  • So mati, how is president trump
  • 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.602
  • Trying to be the responsible
  • 00:06:29.602 --> 00:06:31.170
  • Adult and avoid an all-out war?
  • 00:06:31.170 --> 00:06:33.839
  • And why would iran get itself
  • 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:35.374
  • Into trouble if it fires
  • 00:06:35.374 --> 00:06:37.176
  • Towards israel?
  • 00:06:37.176 --> 00:06:37.843
  • And why are we still in a
  • 00:06:38.410 --> 00:06:40.479
  • Diplomatic stage with iran and
  • 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:42.848
  • Not in an all-out attack?
  • 00:06:42.848 --> 00:06:44.450
  • Over to you, mati.
  • 00:06:44.883 --> 00:06:46.118
  • Yair, what you're really
  • 00:06:46.118 --> 00:06:47.086
  • Asking me is the following.
  • 00:06:47.086 --> 00:06:48.621
  • Is iran already saying openly
  • 00:06:49.254 --> 00:06:51.690
  • That there is no such thing as
  • 00:06:51.690 --> 00:06:53.425
  • A small strike and its threat
  • 00:06:53.425 --> 00:06:55.394
  • Towards israel is unequivocal?
  • 00:06:55.394 --> 00:06:57.196
  • Then why are we still talking
  • 00:06:57.196 --> 00:06:58.897
  • About diplomatic rounds?
  • 00:06:58.897 --> 00:07:00.499
  • And what, in practical terms,
  • 00:07:00.499 --> 00:07:02.334
  • Are the understandings around
  • 00:07:02.334 --> 00:07:04.236
  • The expected strike?
  • 00:07:04.236 --> 00:07:06.305
  • So here are the central points
  • 00:07:06.305 --> 00:07:07.640
  • Right now.
  • 00:07:07.640 --> 00:07:08.574
  • Diplomacy is still moving, but
  • 00:07:08.574 --> 00:07:10.509
  • It's no longer an alternative
  • 00:07:10.509 --> 00:07:11.710
  • To a strike.
  • 00:07:11.710 --> 00:07:12.778
  • It's a narrow window right
  • 00:07:12.778 --> 00:07:14.513
  • Before a decision point.
  • 00:07:14.513 --> 00:07:16.081
  • Last night, in his state of the
  • 00:07:16.081 --> 00:07:17.750
  • Union address to congress,
  • 00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:19.351
  • President trump framed the
  • 00:07:19.351 --> 00:07:20.519
  • Moment in terms of strength,
  • 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.154
  • Deterrence, and american
  • 00:07:22.154 --> 00:07:23.622
  • Prestige.
  • 00:07:23.622 --> 00:07:24.556
  • He said that america's enemies
  • 00:07:24.556 --> 00:07:26.525
  • Are afraid, that the u.s.
  • 00:07:26.525 --> 00:07:28.160
  • Military is very strong, and
  • 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.762
  • America is getting respect like
  • 00:07:29.762 --> 00:07:31.530
  • Never before.
  • 00:07:31.530 --> 00:07:33.198
  • And in the background of that
  • 00:07:33.198 --> 00:07:34.199
  • Same speech, the reality is this
  • 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.735
  • He is still weighing military
  • 00:07:36.735 --> 00:07:37.836
  • Action against iran with no
  • 00:07:37.836 --> 00:07:40.172
  • Final decision at this moment,
  • 00:07:40.172 --> 00:07:42.241
  • While the administration is
  • 00:07:42.241 --> 00:07:43.375
  • Expecting iran's formal
  • 00:07:43.375 --> 00:07:44.510
  • Response to u.s. demands this
  • 00:07:44.510 --> 00:07:46.779
  • Coming week.
  • 00:07:46.779 --> 00:07:47.880
  • That matters to viewers right
  • 00:07:47.880 --> 00:07:49.415
  • Now because it signals two
  • 00:07:49.415 --> 00:07:51.216
  • Tracks running at the same time
  • 00:07:51.216 --> 00:07:53.285
  • Negotiations on the table and
  • 00:07:53.919 --> 00:07:55.721
  • An operation on standby.
  • 00:07:55.721 --> 00:07:57.289
  • That standby posture is closer
  • 00:07:57.890 --> 00:08:00.225
  • Than it has been in a very long time
  • 00:08:00.225 --> 00:08:02.795
  • Now look at what iran is doing
  • 00:08:03.395 --> 00:08:04.797
  • In response.
  • 00:08:04.797 --> 00:08:05.364
  • First, it's sending one clear
  • 00:08:05.998 --> 00:08:07.900
  • Message.
  • 00:08:07.900 --> 00:08:08.367
  • There is no limited option.
  • 00:08:08.967 --> 00:08:10.436
  • From tehran's perspective, any
  • 00:08:11.036 --> 00:08:12.905
  • Strike opens a wider conflict.
  • 00:08:12.905 --> 00:08:14.473
  • This is not a theoretical
  • 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.075
  • Warning.
  • 00:08:16.075 --> 00:08:16.909
  • It is their operational
  • 00:08:16.909 --> 00:08:18.110
  • Concept.
  • 00:08:18.110 --> 00:08:18.844
  • They're not directing it only
  • 00:08:19.478 --> 00:08:20.713
  • At washington.
  • 00:08:20.713 --> 00:08:21.313
  • They're aiming the threat at
  • 00:08:21.914 --> 00:08:24.049
  • Israel as well.
  • 00:08:24.049 --> 00:08:25.150
  • In other words, they're trying
  • 00:08:25.751 --> 00:08:27.219
  • To deter both sides in advance
  • 00:08:27.219 --> 00:08:28.854
  • By making the expected regional
  • 00:08:28.854 --> 00:08:30.656
  • Cost as high as possible.
  • 00:08:30.656 --> 00:08:33.358
  • Now at the very same time, iran
  • 00:08:33.992 --> 00:08:35.961
  • Is not slamming the diplomatic door
  • 00:08:35.961 --> 00:08:38.263
  • Foreign minister abbas
  • 00:08:38.764 --> 00:08:39.732
  • Arajchi is publicly talking
  • 00:08:39.732 --> 00:08:41.200
  • About returning to talks in
  • 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.601
  • Geneva as soon as possible,
  • 00:08:42.601 --> 00:08:44.636
  • Seeing a fair and equal
  • 00:08:45.137 --> 00:08:46.338
  • Agreement.
  • 00:08:46.338 --> 00:08:47.172
  • But he repeats the core line.
  • 00:08:47.172 --> 00:08:49.408
  • Diplomacy is preferred, yet not
  • 00:08:49.408 --> 00:08:51.310
  • At the expense of national
  • 00:08:51.310 --> 00:08:52.411
  • Honour and national interest.
  • 00:08:52.411 --> 00:08:54.680
  • Iran's deputy foreign minister,
  • 00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:56.648
  • Majid takht-ravanchi, puts it
  • 00:08:56.648 --> 00:08:58.684
  • Even more bluntly.
  • 00:08:58.684 --> 00:08:59.985
  • If there is an attack, iran
  • 00:08:59.985 --> 00:09:01.487
  • Will respond according to its
  • 00:09:01.487 --> 00:09:02.755
  • Defence planning.
  • 00:09:02.755 --> 00:09:03.722
  • And then he has a sentence
  • 00:09:04.289 --> 00:09:05.824
  • Everyone should hear twice.
  • 00:09:05.824 --> 00:09:08.093
  • It may be possible to start a
  • 00:09:08.093 --> 00:09:10.028
  • War, but it's not easy to end
  • 00:09:10.028 --> 00:09:12.030
  • One, and the entire region will
  • 00:09:12.030 --> 00:09:14.199
  • Suffer the consequences.
  • 00:09:14.199 --> 00:09:15.734
  • So your question yair, gets a
  • 00:09:15.734 --> 00:09:17.369
  • Practical answer.
  • 00:09:17.369 --> 00:09:18.637
  • We're still in diplomatic
  • 00:09:18.637 --> 00:09:19.471
  • Rounds because this is the last
  • 00:09:19.471 --> 00:09:21.740
  • Station before a decision.
  • 00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:23.375
  • But the military preparations,
  • 00:09:23.976 --> 00:09:25.711
  • The threats, and the tone all
  • 00:09:25.711 --> 00:09:27.613
  • Indicate the risk of escalation
  • 00:09:27.613 --> 00:09:29.181
  • Remains very high.
  • 00:09:29.181 --> 00:09:30.649
  • Iran says there will be no
  • 00:09:31.216 --> 00:09:32.818
  • Small strike.
  • 00:09:32.818 --> 00:09:33.986
  • The united states signals it
  • 00:09:33.986 --> 00:09:35.988
  • Will not accept a drawn-out
  • 00:09:35.988 --> 00:09:37.456
  • Process.
  • 00:09:37.456 --> 00:09:38.490
  • And in between, tehran is under
  • 00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:40.459
  • Pressure at home and aggressive
  • 00:09:40.459 --> 00:09:42.161
  • Abroad, trying to survive this
  • 00:09:42.161 --> 00:09:44.396
  • Moment without giving up the
  • 00:09:44.396 --> 00:09:45.931
  • Pillars of its system.
  • 00:09:45.931 --> 00:09:47.332
  • This doesn't mean a final
  • 00:09:47.900 --> 00:09:49.101
  • Decision has already been made.
  • 00:09:49.101 --> 00:09:51.036
  • But it does mean the sides are
  • 00:09:51.036 --> 00:09:52.871
  • Acting as if it could be made
  • 00:09:52.871 --> 00:09:54.673
  • At any moment.
  • 00:09:54.673 --> 00:09:55.941
  • I'm here, mati shoshani, now
  • 00:09:55.941 --> 00:09:57.609
  • Back to yair pinto.
  • 00:09:57.609 --> 00:09:58.443
  • Thank you very much, mati
  • 00:09:59.011 --> 00:10:00.679
  • Shoshani, for bringing your
  • 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:01.814
  • Usual clarity to these vitally
  • 00:10:01.814 --> 00:10:03.749
  • Complicated issues that are
  • 00:10:03.749 --> 00:10:05.617
  • Very important for all of us.
  • 00:10:05.617 --> 00:10:07.219
  • Now we'll move to our studio in
  • 00:10:07.219 --> 00:10:09.087
  • Jerusalem, where tbn israel
  • 00:10:09.087 --> 00:10:10.989
  • Director samuel smadja will
  • 00:10:10.989 --> 00:10:12.991
  • Bring us an in-depth interview
  • 00:10:12.991 --> 00:10:14.426
  • With rabbi jay weinstein.
  • 00:10:14.426 --> 00:10:16.562
  • So over to you, samuel.
  • 00:10:16.562 --> 00:10:18.330
  • Toda, yair.
  • 00:10:18.664 --> 00:10:19.565
  • Thank you, yair.
  • 00:10:19.565 --> 00:10:20.732
  • With us today is rabbi jay
  • 00:10:20.732 --> 00:10:22.634
  • Weinstein.
  • 00:10:22.634 --> 00:10:23.268
  • Rabbi, welcome to our show.
  • 00:10:23.869 --> 00:10:25.671
  • Great honor having you with us.
  • 00:10:25.671 --> 00:10:28.240
  • You made aliyah with your wife
  • 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:29.474
  • And six kids 10 years ago.
  • 00:10:29.474 --> 00:10:31.877
  • You were rabbi of a synagogue
  • 00:10:31.877 --> 00:10:33.879
  • In new jersey, and one day you
  • 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.849
  • Decided to move to israel.
  • 00:10:36.849 --> 00:10:38.684
  • Why?
  • 00:10:38.884 --> 00:10:39.818
  • Thank you so much for having
  • 00:10:39.818 --> 00:10:41.119
  • Me.
  • 00:10:41.119 --> 00:10:41.820
  • It's a blessing and privilege
  • 00:10:41.820 --> 00:10:42.654
  • To be here.
  • 00:10:42.654 --> 00:10:43.355
  • And yes, 10 years ago, we were
  • 00:10:43.956 --> 00:10:45.457
  • Blessed with the opportunity to
  • 00:10:45.457 --> 00:10:46.792
  • Move our family from the united
  • 00:10:46.792 --> 00:10:48.260
  • States to israel.
  • 00:10:48.260 --> 00:10:49.895
  • And you know, growing up in a
  • 00:10:49.895 --> 00:10:51.196
  • Jewish home and starting to be
  • 00:10:51.196 --> 00:10:52.798
  • A rabbi, of course, i learned
  • 00:10:52.798 --> 00:10:54.333
  • About all the biblical
  • 00:10:54.333 --> 00:10:55.334
  • Prophecies of the jews
  • 00:10:55.334 --> 00:10:56.702
  • Returning to israel.
  • 00:10:56.702 --> 00:10:58.170
  • And i felt together with my
  • 00:10:58.170 --> 00:10:59.938
  • Wife that in our own family,
  • 00:10:59.938 --> 00:11:01.273
  • We're missing that piece.
  • 00:11:01.273 --> 00:11:02.541
  • And to be able to then make
  • 00:11:02.541 --> 00:11:04.076
  • That step and be part of this
  • 00:11:04.076 --> 00:11:05.577
  • Incredible nation and history
  • 00:11:05.577 --> 00:11:07.646
  • Of returning jews from around
  • 00:11:07.646 --> 00:11:09.414
  • The world to israel was an
  • 00:11:09.414 --> 00:11:11.183
  • Opportunity we couldn't give up
  • 00:11:11.183 --> 00:11:13.151
  • I'm sure it was a conflict
  • 00:11:13.151 --> 00:11:14.052
  • Leaving your synagogue as a
  • 00:11:14.052 --> 00:11:16.255
  • Leader, as the rabbi of the
  • 00:11:16.255 --> 00:11:17.756
  • Synagogue, and moving to
  • 00:11:17.756 --> 00:11:19.358
  • Israel.
  • 00:11:19.358 --> 00:11:20.025
  • Do you see moving to israel as
  • 00:11:20.025 --> 00:11:21.860
  • A fulfillment of prophecy?
  • 00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:23.495
  • You're 100 percent correct.
  • 00:11:23.495 --> 00:11:24.897
  • It was a very internal dilemma
  • 00:11:24.897 --> 00:11:27.432
  • For us, because as a rabbi of a
  • 00:11:27.432 --> 00:11:29.501
  • Synagogue, we loved our
  • 00:11:29.501 --> 00:11:31.236
  • Community.
  • 00:11:31.236 --> 00:11:31.870
  • We love the people.
  • 00:11:31.870 --> 00:11:32.971
  • We love making a difference.
  • 00:11:32.971 --> 00:11:34.339
  • But yes, there's always
  • 00:11:34.339 --> 00:11:36.441
  • Something missing.
  • 00:11:36.441 --> 00:11:37.242
  • And 100 percent that we believe
  • 00:11:37.876 --> 00:11:40.279
  • That today is the day in which
  • 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:41.780
  • Biblical prophecies are coming
  • 00:11:41.780 --> 00:11:43.148
  • Alive.
  • 00:11:43.148 --> 00:11:43.815
  • We pray every day based on the
  • 00:11:43.815 --> 00:11:45.651
  • Prophets of ezekiel, that
  • 00:11:45.651 --> 00:11:47.619
  • God will bring the jewish
  • 00:11:47.619 --> 00:11:50.956
  • People back from all four
  • 00:11:50.956 --> 00:11:52.591
  • Corners of the world.
  • 00:11:52.591 --> 00:11:53.325
  • Amen.
  • 00:11:53.325 --> 00:11:53.992
  • And we call that in hebrew,
  • 00:11:53.992 --> 00:11:55.394
  • Aliyah.
  • 00:11:55.394 --> 00:11:56.128
  • You not just moved to israel,
  • 00:11:56.128 --> 00:11:58.063
  • You became very active in
  • 00:11:58.063 --> 00:11:59.998
  • Encouraging jews around the
  • 00:11:59.998 --> 00:12:01.400
  • World to make aliyah.
  • 00:12:01.400 --> 00:12:02.634
  • You joined the jewish agency,
  • 00:12:03.268 --> 00:12:05.470
  • Which i would love you to
  • 00:12:05.470 --> 00:12:06.805
  • Explain to our viewers what's
  • 00:12:06.805 --> 00:12:08.740
  • The jewish agency, what do they do
  • 00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:10.876
  • And you're very involved in
  • 00:12:10.876 --> 00:12:12.611
  • Bringing jews from all over the
  • 00:12:12.611 --> 00:12:14.379
  • World.
  • 00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:15.080
  • The jewish agency is almost 100
  • 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:16.615
  • Years old.
  • 00:12:16.615 --> 00:12:17.582
  • And it was created even before
  • 00:12:17.582 --> 00:12:19.384
  • The state of israel to actually
  • 00:12:19.384 --> 00:12:20.786
  • Give birth to the state of israel
  • 00:12:20.786 --> 00:12:22.955
  • So david ben-gurion, who was
  • 00:12:23.555 --> 00:12:24.890
  • The first prime minister,
  • 00:12:24.890 --> 00:12:26.391
  • Before he had that job in 1948,
  • 00:12:26.391 --> 00:12:28.293
  • He was the head of the jewish
  • 00:12:28.293 --> 00:12:29.461
  • Agency and transitions as a
  • 00:12:29.461 --> 00:12:31.863
  • State is born.
  • 00:12:31.863 --> 00:12:32.798
  • From the beginning, our main
  • 00:12:33.398 --> 00:12:35.033
  • Mandate is to bring jews on
  • 00:12:35.033 --> 00:12:37.269
  • Aliyah, bring jews from all
  • 00:12:37.269 --> 00:12:39.004
  • Around the world to their
  • 00:12:39.004 --> 00:12:40.472
  • Homeland to fulfill the
  • 00:12:40.472 --> 00:12:42.074
  • Prophets that tell us that all
  • 00:12:42.074 --> 00:12:45.243
  • The jews in the four corners
  • 00:12:45.243 --> 00:12:46.478
  • Will come to israel.
  • 00:12:46.478 --> 00:12:48.246
  • So aliyah to israel, again, has
  • 00:12:48.246 --> 00:12:49.881
  • Been part of our tradition for
  • 00:12:49.881 --> 00:12:51.350
  • 2000 years.
  • 00:12:51.350 --> 00:12:52.851
  • In the modern era, we can see
  • 00:12:52.851 --> 00:12:55.420
  • Different waves of aliyah that
  • 00:12:55.420 --> 00:12:56.989
  • Have happened.
  • 00:12:56.989 --> 00:12:57.656
  • We see from the early 1900s,
  • 00:12:57.656 --> 00:12:59.691
  • Jews had come.
  • 00:12:59.691 --> 00:13:01.193
  • We can see post the holocaust,
  • 00:13:01.193 --> 00:13:03.295
  • Already in the 1940s, 1945,
  • 00:13:03.295 --> 00:13:06.465
  • That we had to bring all of the
  • 00:13:07.099 --> 00:13:08.333
  • Survivors who were able to get
  • 00:13:08.333 --> 00:13:09.968
  • Out of the concentration camps
  • 00:13:09.968 --> 00:13:12.337
  • And able to persevere during
  • 00:13:12.337 --> 00:13:13.772
  • That time, to bring them back
  • 00:13:13.772 --> 00:13:15.474
  • To israel.
  • 00:13:15.474 --> 00:13:16.208
  • And then post that we have
  • 00:13:16.775 --> 00:13:17.876
  • Aliyah, waves of high numbers
  • 00:13:17.876 --> 00:13:20.012
  • Of moroccan jews who've come,
  • 00:13:20.012 --> 00:13:21.980
  • High numbers of jews that have
  • 00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:23.181
  • Come from the former soviet
  • 00:13:23.181 --> 00:13:24.316
  • Union and russian countries as
  • 00:13:24.316 --> 00:13:25.951
  • Well.
  • 00:13:25.951 --> 00:13:26.618
  • Over the last few years, we've
  • 00:13:26.618 --> 00:13:28.987
  • Continued the aliyah, bringing
  • 00:13:28.987 --> 00:13:30.655
  • The lost jews from ethiopia
  • 00:13:30.655 --> 00:13:33.058
  • Back.
  • 00:13:33.291 --> 00:13:34.359
  • That, too, has an incredible
  • 00:13:34.359 --> 00:13:35.761
  • History of operations that the
  • 00:13:35.761 --> 00:13:38.063
  • Jewish agency has run to bring
  • 00:13:38.063 --> 00:13:39.965
  • Jews and rescue them from
  • 00:13:39.965 --> 00:13:40.999
  • Ethiopia, coming back to
  • 00:13:40.999 --> 00:13:42.901
  • Israel.
  • 00:13:42.901 --> 00:13:43.568
  • And that's our work that
  • 00:13:43.568 --> 00:13:44.636
  • Continues today.
  • 00:13:44.636 --> 00:13:45.871
  • Some people will say that
  • 00:13:45.871 --> 00:13:47.439
  • Aliyah is a result of the
  • 00:13:47.439 --> 00:13:48.640
  • Holocaust.
  • 00:13:48.640 --> 00:13:49.741
  • Other, and i believe that, yes,
  • 00:13:49.741 --> 00:13:51.443
  • The holocaust was a huge booster.
  • 00:13:51.443 --> 00:13:53.378
  • But we see until today that
  • 00:13:53.378 --> 00:13:55.213
  • Jews from all over the world
  • 00:13:55.213 --> 00:13:56.681
  • Have suddenly a burning in
  • 00:13:56.681 --> 00:13:58.383
  • Their heart, like you had, and
  • 00:13:58.383 --> 00:14:00.752
  • They want to move and they want
  • 00:14:00.752 --> 00:14:01.653
  • To come to live in israel.
  • 00:14:01.653 --> 00:14:03.422
  • We really have two different
  • 00:14:03.422 --> 00:14:05.190
  • Categories of aliyah.
  • 00:14:05.190 --> 00:14:06.558
  • First is aliyah by choice.
  • 00:14:06.558 --> 00:14:08.126
  • Like my own story.
  • 00:14:08.126 --> 00:14:09.361
  • I had a dream.
  • 00:14:09.361 --> 00:14:10.062
  • I wanted to live in israel,
  • 00:14:10.062 --> 00:14:11.096
  • Even though my family had a
  • 00:14:11.096 --> 00:14:12.631
  • Wonderful life in the united states.
  • 00:14:12.631 --> 00:14:14.166
  • We chose to come out of
  • 00:14:14.166 --> 00:14:15.734
  • Idealistic reasons.
  • 00:14:15.734 --> 00:14:17.269
  • We also have aliyah of rescue,
  • 00:14:17.269 --> 00:14:19.204
  • Where jews are being attacked,
  • 00:14:19.204 --> 00:14:21.273
  • Being persecuted.
  • 00:14:21.273 --> 00:14:21.907
  • They're scared.
  • 00:14:21.907 --> 00:14:22.908
  • Anti-semitism.
  • 00:14:22.908 --> 00:14:23.708
  • And, of course, this gives a
  • 00:14:24.309 --> 00:14:25.310
  • Fulfillment of their dream also
  • 00:14:25.310 --> 00:14:26.678
  • To come to israel.
  • 00:14:26.678 --> 00:14:27.512
  • But the impetus for them coming
  • 00:14:27.512 --> 00:14:28.680
  • Now is because they need a
  • 00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:29.981
  • Homeland to come back to.
  • 00:14:29.981 --> 00:14:32.150
  • So for example, over the last
  • 00:14:32.150 --> 00:14:33.452
  • Five years from the beginning
  • 00:14:33.452 --> 00:14:35.220
  • Of the russian-ukrainian war,
  • 00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:36.888
  • Over 150,000 jews have come
  • 00:14:36.888 --> 00:14:40.092
  • From russian-speaking
  • 00:14:40.092 --> 00:14:41.326
  • Countries.
  • 00:14:41.326 --> 00:14:41.893
  • Beautiful.
  • 00:14:42.194 --> 00:14:42.794
  • Beautiful.
  • 00:14:43.095 --> 00:14:44.329
  • Tell us about the christian
  • 00:14:44.930 --> 00:14:46.731
  • Friends of the jewish agency.
  • 00:14:46.731 --> 00:14:47.999
  • That's the department that you
  • 00:14:47.999 --> 00:14:49.134
  • Manage, the jewish agency.
  • 00:14:49.134 --> 00:14:51.136
  • So tell us, what are you doing
  • 00:14:51.136 --> 00:14:53.271
  • In this desk?
  • 00:14:53.271 --> 00:14:54.573
  • I'm truly blessed to have this
  • 00:14:54.573 --> 00:14:56.274
  • Position where we build bridges
  • 00:14:56.274 --> 00:14:58.210
  • To christians and christian
  • 00:14:58.210 --> 00:14:59.711
  • Communities around the world.
  • 00:14:59.711 --> 00:15:00.946
  • And like you said, because we
  • 00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:02.981
  • Have this united goal of
  • 00:15:02.981 --> 00:15:05.183
  • Bringing more jews back to
  • 00:15:05.183 --> 00:15:06.284
  • Israel, i feel so blessed.
  • 00:15:06.284 --> 00:15:08.420
  • And really from here, from the
  • 00:15:08.420 --> 00:15:10.122
  • Holy city of jerusalem, i want
  • 00:15:10.122 --> 00:15:11.957
  • To share my thanks and
  • 00:15:11.957 --> 00:15:12.791
  • Blessings to christians around
  • 00:15:12.791 --> 00:15:13.992
  • The world who support our work
  • 00:15:13.992 --> 00:15:16.027
  • And who supports the jewish
  • 00:15:16.027 --> 00:15:17.329
  • Agency and israel.
  • 00:15:17.329 --> 00:15:18.296
  • We really couldn't do it
  • 00:15:18.296 --> 00:15:19.865
  • Without you.
  • 00:15:19.865 --> 00:15:20.966
  • Just last week i was with a
  • 00:15:20.966 --> 00:15:22.234
  • Group of christians and we
  • 00:15:22.234 --> 00:15:23.969
  • Brought them to the airport to
  • 00:15:23.969 --> 00:15:25.704
  • See the new olim, the new
  • 00:15:25.704 --> 00:15:27.172
  • Immigrants, coming off the
  • 00:15:27.172 --> 00:15:28.473
  • Airplane.
  • 00:15:28.473 --> 00:15:29.174
  • And they were the first smiling
  • 00:15:29.174 --> 00:15:30.475
  • Faces to welcome them to their homeland
  • 00:15:30.475 --> 00:15:33.145
  • It's biblical prophecies coming alive
  • 00:15:33.979 --> 00:15:36.448
  • There's no doubt that anti
  • 00:15:37.015 --> 00:15:38.049
  • -semitism has risen in
  • 00:15:38.049 --> 00:15:41.319
  • Tremendous numbers.
  • 00:15:41.319 --> 00:15:43.955
  • I mean, actually, there are
  • 00:15:43.955 --> 00:15:46.558
  • Israelis who are comparing anti
  • 00:15:46.558 --> 00:15:48.393
  • -semitism today to anti-semitism
  • 00:15:48.393 --> 00:15:50.996
  • In europe before the war.
  • 00:15:50.996 --> 00:15:52.831
  • Do you see any connection
  • 00:15:52.831 --> 00:15:54.733
  • Between anti-semitism and
  • 00:15:54.733 --> 00:15:56.234
  • Return of jewish people to
  • 00:15:56.234 --> 00:15:57.769
  • Their land?
  • 00:15:57.769 --> 00:15:58.436
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:15:58.770 --> 00:15:59.771
  • You're right that the jewish
  • 00:15:59.771 --> 00:16:00.939
  • People are facing anti-semitism
  • 00:16:00.939 --> 00:16:03.141
  • Around the world.
  • 00:16:03.141 --> 00:16:04.376
  • And again, we're very grateful
  • 00:16:04.376 --> 00:16:05.977
  • For our christian friends who
  • 00:16:05.977 --> 00:16:07.479
  • Stand shoulder to shoulder with
  • 00:16:07.479 --> 00:16:09.381
  • Jews as they're facing anti
  • 00:16:09.381 --> 00:16:11.049
  • -semitism.
  • 00:16:11.049 --> 00:16:11.683
  • And this directly impacts
  • 00:16:11.683 --> 00:16:13.351
  • Aliyah.
  • 00:16:13.351 --> 00:16:13.885
  • We know now that the numbers of
  • 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:15.954
  • Jews from france who are under,
  • 00:16:15.954 --> 00:16:17.756
  • Again, tremendous pressure,
  • 00:16:17.756 --> 00:16:18.857
  • Tremendous anti-semitism, is
  • 00:16:18.857 --> 00:16:20.926
  • Rising incredibly, which means
  • 00:16:20.926 --> 00:16:23.228
  • That we have a responsibility
  • 00:16:23.228 --> 00:16:24.129
  • To do more aliyah affairs in
  • 00:16:24.129 --> 00:16:26.331
  • France, have more professionals
  • 00:16:26.331 --> 00:16:27.666
  • On the ground that can guide
  • 00:16:27.666 --> 00:16:28.800
  • People and tell them what life
  • 00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:29.901
  • Can be like in israel.
  • 00:16:29.901 --> 00:16:31.670
  • And of course the numbers of
  • 00:16:31.670 --> 00:16:32.704
  • Those coming are rising.
  • 00:16:32.704 --> 00:16:34.639
  • Why are you doing so much effort?
  • 00:16:35.373 --> 00:16:37.075
  • Why don't support them there?
  • 00:16:37.075 --> 00:16:39.511
  • Why to bring them here?
  • 00:16:39.511 --> 00:16:41.213
  • So first of all, we do support
  • 00:16:41.213 --> 00:16:42.781
  • Jews around the world.
  • 00:16:42.781 --> 00:16:44.049
  • We have, for example, many of
  • 00:16:44.049 --> 00:16:45.850
  • Our emissaries that are on
  • 00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:47.953
  • College campuses to give
  • 00:16:47.953 --> 00:16:49.487
  • Strength to the jewish
  • 00:16:49.487 --> 00:16:50.222
  • Community, to bring the story,
  • 00:16:50.222 --> 00:16:51.690
  • The true story of israel to the
  • 00:16:51.690 --> 00:16:54.125
  • College campuses.
  • 00:16:54.125 --> 00:16:55.393
  • So yes, we do our efforts there
  • 00:16:55.393 --> 00:16:57.495
  • But god gave us a homeland.
  • 00:16:57.495 --> 00:16:58.930
  • God wanted the jewish people to
  • 00:16:58.930 --> 00:17:00.298
  • Have a secure, safe place.
  • 00:17:00.298 --> 00:17:02.133
  • And if they decide and if they
  • 00:17:02.133 --> 00:17:03.401
  • Need, we're here to embrace
  • 00:17:03.401 --> 00:17:04.669
  • Them and bring them home.
  • 00:17:04.669 --> 00:17:05.937
  • Beautiful.
  • 00:17:05.937 --> 00:17:06.605
  • So there's no doubt that the
  • 00:17:06.605 --> 00:17:08.073
  • 7th of october has changed life
  • 00:17:08.073 --> 00:17:09.941
  • In israel.
  • 00:17:09.941 --> 00:17:10.875
  • And i'm sure the 7th of october
  • 00:17:11.509 --> 00:17:13.144
  • Has changed also your work.
  • 00:17:13.144 --> 00:17:14.913
  • So everyone knows october 7th
  • 00:17:15.547 --> 00:17:17.215
  • Was a very dark, dark day.
  • 00:17:17.215 --> 00:17:19.284
  • But the jewish people, we fight back
  • 00:17:20.085 --> 00:17:23.355
  • The jewish people, together
  • 00:17:23.355 --> 00:17:24.356
  • With christian friends, we
  • 00:17:24.356 --> 00:17:25.890
  • Rebuild.
  • 00:17:25.890 --> 00:17:26.591
  • This is what we've been doing
  • 00:17:26.591 --> 00:17:27.459
  • Our entire history.
  • 00:17:27.459 --> 00:17:28.526
  • From day one, post-october 7th,
  • 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.496
  • The jewish agency has been on
  • 00:17:31.496 --> 00:17:32.864
  • The ground getting the state of
  • 00:17:32.864 --> 00:17:34.633
  • Israel and the people of israel
  • 00:17:34.633 --> 00:17:36.134
  • Back up on their feet.
  • 00:17:36.134 --> 00:17:37.535
  • We have helped tens of
  • 00:17:37.535 --> 00:17:38.903
  • Thousands of victims of terror,
  • 00:17:38.903 --> 00:17:40.872
  • Helping them by their bedside,
  • 00:17:40.872 --> 00:17:42.641
  • Rehabilitation.
  • 00:17:42.641 --> 00:17:43.475
  • What resources do they need?
  • 00:17:43.475 --> 00:17:44.776
  • Do they need financial
  • 00:17:44.776 --> 00:17:45.610
  • Resources?
  • 00:17:45.610 --> 00:17:46.578
  • How do we help not only that
  • 00:17:46.578 --> 00:17:47.812
  • Day, but how do we help over
  • 00:17:47.812 --> 00:17:50.015
  • The next number of years?
  • 00:17:50.015 --> 00:17:51.549
  • We have a staff spread around
  • 00:17:51.549 --> 00:17:53.018
  • The country.
  • 00:17:53.018 --> 00:17:54.219
  • Geographically, they're
  • 00:17:54.719 --> 00:17:55.787
  • Connected to whether, god
  • 00:17:55.787 --> 00:17:57.455
  • Forbid, there's a family that
  • 00:17:57.455 --> 00:17:58.490
  • Needs help in the north or in
  • 00:17:58.490 --> 00:17:59.691
  • The south, or the families who
  • 00:17:59.691 --> 00:18:01.559
  • Have hostages, or the families
  • 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:03.495
  • From the nova festival.
  • 00:18:03.495 --> 00:18:05.030
  • A, we're helping the people,
  • 00:18:05.030 --> 00:18:06.665
  • Helping the people by their
  • 00:18:06.665 --> 00:18:07.632
  • Bedside, taking care of them.
  • 00:18:07.632 --> 00:18:09.367
  • On a second level, we're
  • 00:18:09.901 --> 00:18:11.102
  • Helping rebuild the land, the
  • 00:18:11.102 --> 00:18:13.038
  • Kibbutzim, down south, making
  • 00:18:13.038 --> 00:18:14.806
  • Sure that we don't want israel
  • 00:18:14.806 --> 00:18:16.174
  • To be like what it was before
  • 00:18:16.174 --> 00:18:17.776
  • October 7th.
  • 00:18:17.776 --> 00:18:19.077
  • We want it to be better.
  • 00:18:19.077 --> 00:18:20.378
  • We want it to be more enticing
  • 00:18:20.378 --> 00:18:21.913
  • For people to come.
  • 00:18:21.913 --> 00:18:23.548
  • And in terms of our work, the
  • 00:18:23.548 --> 00:18:25.450
  • Jewish agency believes the
  • 00:18:25.450 --> 00:18:27.552
  • Number one way we can fight
  • 00:18:27.552 --> 00:18:29.120
  • Against terrorism and the
  • 00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:30.455
  • Enemies around us is to bring
  • 00:18:30.455 --> 00:18:32.424
  • More jews to israel.
  • 00:18:32.424 --> 00:18:34.459
  • Now, when we talk about the
  • 00:18:34.459 --> 00:18:35.960
  • Jewish people, we usually talk
  • 00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.196
  • About the tribes of judah and
  • 00:18:38.196 --> 00:18:40.365
  • The tribe of levi.
  • 00:18:40.365 --> 00:18:41.833
  • But now, lately in the news,
  • 00:18:41.833 --> 00:18:44.169
  • I'm reading about a different
  • 00:18:44.169 --> 00:18:45.537
  • Tribe, the tribe of menashe.
  • 00:18:45.537 --> 00:18:47.339
  • And we hear again and again in
  • 00:18:47.939 --> 00:18:50.375
  • The israeli news, in the
  • 00:18:50.375 --> 00:18:51.710
  • Israeli media, we're talking
  • 00:18:51.710 --> 00:18:52.977
  • About an aliyah, a return of
  • 00:18:52.977 --> 00:18:56.247
  • Approximately 5,000 people from
  • 00:18:56.247 --> 00:18:57.982
  • The tribals of menashe.
  • 00:18:57.982 --> 00:18:59.417
  • So this is incredible.
  • 00:18:59.417 --> 00:19:01.019
  • And just this week, the
  • 00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:02.487
  • Government of israel passed a
  • 00:19:02.487 --> 00:19:04.189
  • Law and legislation giving the
  • 00:19:04.189 --> 00:19:06.057
  • Jewish agency the
  • 00:19:06.057 --> 00:19:06.891
  • Responsibility to bring home
  • 00:19:06.891 --> 00:19:09.127
  • The lost tribe of menashe.
  • 00:19:09.127 --> 00:19:11.329
  • This is a tribe that, after the
  • 00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:12.597
  • Second temple, had gone into
  • 00:19:12.597 --> 00:19:14.566
  • Exile, went to various
  • 00:19:14.566 --> 00:19:15.900
  • Countries and ended up in
  • 00:19:15.900 --> 00:19:17.168
  • India.
  • 00:19:17.168 --> 00:19:17.869
  • But they've kept jewish
  • 00:19:17.869 --> 00:19:19.204
  • Customs.
  • 00:19:19.204 --> 00:19:20.205
  • They've kept their traditions
  • 00:19:20.205 --> 00:19:21.139
  • That when we discovered them or
  • 00:19:21.139 --> 00:19:23.441
  • We came back to them, we saw
  • 00:19:23.441 --> 00:19:24.976
  • The similarities.
  • 00:19:24.976 --> 00:19:26.111
  • And they themselves realized,
  • 00:19:26.111 --> 00:19:27.379
  • Hey, you know, what we're doing
  • 00:19:27.379 --> 00:19:28.413
  • For the last thousands of years
  • 00:19:28.413 --> 00:19:29.814
  • Is part of the bible.
  • 00:19:29.814 --> 00:19:30.715
  • And so this is really biblical
  • 00:19:31.316 --> 00:19:33.118
  • Prophecies coming to fruition.
  • 00:19:33.118 --> 00:19:35.186
  • With this governmental
  • 00:19:35.186 --> 00:19:35.820
  • Decision, we're hopeful over
  • 00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:37.222
  • The next number of years to
  • 00:19:37.222 --> 00:19:38.857
  • Bring 5,000 new olim from
  • 00:19:38.857 --> 00:19:40.992
  • India, part of b'nai menashe,
  • 00:19:40.992 --> 00:19:43.228
  • Back to israel.
  • 00:19:43.228 --> 00:19:44.195
  • What we see in front of our
  • 00:19:44.796 --> 00:19:45.864
  • Eyes, the return of the jewish
  • 00:19:45.864 --> 00:19:46.998
  • People, i think is one of the
  • 00:19:46.998 --> 00:19:48.867
  • Biggest proof that the
  • 00:19:48.867 --> 00:19:51.436
  • Scriptures are the real thing,
  • 00:19:51.436 --> 00:19:54.572
  • Because that's the biggest
  • 00:19:54.572 --> 00:19:56.274
  • Miracle, i think, of our
  • 00:19:56.274 --> 00:19:57.409
  • Generation.
  • 00:19:57.409 --> 00:19:58.576
  • And not only that, we see the
  • 00:19:58.576 --> 00:19:59.677
  • Bible talks about vineyards
  • 00:19:59.677 --> 00:20:01.312
  • Being planted and drinking the
  • 00:20:01.312 --> 00:20:02.714
  • Wine, which means the country's
  • 00:20:02.714 --> 00:20:04.149
  • Going to flourish again.
  • 00:20:04.149 --> 00:20:05.383
  • We've never seen israel in the
  • 00:20:05.383 --> 00:20:06.818
  • Last 2,000 years be this
  • 00:20:06.818 --> 00:20:09.020
  • Incredible country the way it
  • 00:20:09.020 --> 00:20:10.321
  • Is now, even with all the wars
  • 00:20:10.321 --> 00:20:12.023
  • And all the enemies that are
  • 00:20:12.023 --> 00:20:13.057
  • Attacking us, the business and
  • 00:20:13.057 --> 00:20:14.793
  • The economy and the tourism
  • 00:20:14.793 --> 00:20:16.895
  • That's booming here.
  • 00:20:16.895 --> 00:20:18.062
  • This is it.
  • 00:20:18.396 --> 00:20:19.264
  • This is us drinking again from
  • 00:20:19.264 --> 00:20:20.365
  • The vineyards that we planted.
  • 00:20:20.365 --> 00:20:22.000
  • When we talk about aliyah, we
  • 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.536
  • Talk about aliyah to jerusalem.
  • 00:20:24.536 --> 00:20:27.906
  • We're sitting here overlooking
  • 00:20:27.906 --> 00:20:28.873
  • Jerusalem, temple mount, mount
  • 00:20:28.873 --> 00:20:30.742
  • Of olives, jerusalem.
  • 00:20:30.742 --> 00:20:33.378
  • Where does jerusalem come in
  • 00:20:33.978 --> 00:20:36.080
  • The conversation when we talk
  • 00:20:36.080 --> 00:20:37.282
  • About the return of the jewish
  • 00:20:37.282 --> 00:20:38.483
  • People?
  • 00:20:38.483 --> 00:20:39.117
  • Can you talk about jerusalem
  • 00:20:39.717 --> 00:20:40.752
  • And aliyah?
  • 00:20:40.752 --> 00:20:41.419
  • Well, jerusalem has been the
  • 00:20:41.419 --> 00:20:42.587
  • Center of our land back from
  • 00:20:42.587 --> 00:20:45.089
  • The time of the bible, from
  • 00:20:45.089 --> 00:20:46.057
  • King david.
  • 00:20:46.057 --> 00:20:46.724
  • Not far from here, you can see
  • 00:20:47.325 --> 00:20:48.626
  • The roads that led the jews
  • 00:20:48.626 --> 00:20:50.161
  • Coming from all around to the
  • 00:20:50.161 --> 00:20:51.429
  • Temples that stood just a few
  • 00:20:51.429 --> 00:20:53.231
  • Kilometers from where we are now
  • 00:20:53.231 --> 00:20:55.600
  • So we've always had pilgrimages
  • 00:20:55.600 --> 00:20:57.535
  • Of jews coming up to the
  • 00:20:57.535 --> 00:20:59.170
  • Temple, which sits in jerusalem
  • 00:20:59.170 --> 00:21:01.806
  • Because that was our capital
  • 00:21:01.806 --> 00:21:02.874
  • And our homeland.
  • 00:21:02.874 --> 00:21:03.875
  • In fact, i'll share with you
  • 00:21:03.875 --> 00:21:04.843
  • That although the establishment
  • 00:21:04.843 --> 00:21:07.212
  • Technically of israel took
  • 00:21:07.212 --> 00:21:08.880
  • Place in tel aviv and david ben
  • 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.616
  • -gurion was there because we
  • 00:21:11.616 --> 00:21:12.951
  • Couldn't get to jerusalem
  • 00:21:12.951 --> 00:21:13.785
  • Because the roads were being
  • 00:21:13.785 --> 00:21:14.819
  • Attacked by our enemies.
  • 00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:15.887
  • He did a second signing of the
  • 00:21:16.488 --> 00:21:18.590
  • Declaration of independence in
  • 00:21:18.590 --> 00:21:20.158
  • Our building in jerusalem,
  • 00:21:20.158 --> 00:21:21.493
  • Which also overlooks the old
  • 00:21:21.493 --> 00:21:23.361
  • City, to show that this is
  • 00:21:23.361 --> 00:21:25.029
  • Going to be the center.
  • 00:21:25.029 --> 00:21:26.331
  • And then when we bring to the
  • 00:21:26.331 --> 00:21:27.432
  • Olim back.
  • 00:21:27.432 --> 00:21:28.299
  • Which means when he signed the
  • 00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:29.667
  • Declaration of the state of
  • 00:21:29.667 --> 00:21:30.869
  • Israel in tel aviv, for him he
  • 00:21:30.869 --> 00:21:32.737
  • Knew it was not enough.
  • 00:21:32.737 --> 00:21:33.938
  • He had to do it again in
  • 00:21:33.938 --> 00:21:35.073
  • Jerusalem because jerusalem is
  • 00:21:35.073 --> 00:21:37.008
  • The thing.
  • 00:21:37.008 --> 00:21:37.375
  • Exactly.
  • 00:21:37.375 --> 00:21:38.076
  • We are broadcasting mainly to
  • 00:21:38.710 --> 00:21:40.078
  • Christian people around the world
  • 00:21:40.078 --> 00:21:41.880
  • People are watching us and why
  • 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.916
  • Do you think they should be
  • 00:21:44.916 --> 00:21:45.750
  • Involved in saying in aliyah?
  • 00:21:45.750 --> 00:21:47.418
  • Why it's so important?
  • 00:21:47.418 --> 00:21:48.152
  • I'm sitting in oklahoma.
  • 00:21:48.152 --> 00:21:49.721
  • I go to church on sunday.
  • 00:21:49.721 --> 00:21:50.989
  • Why should i be involved in the
  • 00:21:51.623 --> 00:21:55.326
  • Return of the jewish people to
  • 00:21:55.326 --> 00:21:56.561
  • Israel?
  • 00:21:56.561 --> 00:21:57.395
  • As it is, i have so many
  • 00:21:57.395 --> 00:21:58.696
  • Questions.
  • 00:21:58.696 --> 00:21:59.831
  • I have so many political
  • 00:21:59.831 --> 00:22:00.932
  • Questions.
  • 00:22:00.932 --> 00:22:01.633
  • Now you come and say, listen,
  • 00:22:01.633 --> 00:22:03.568
  • If you were confused before,
  • 00:22:03.568 --> 00:22:06.337
  • Let me add something.
  • 00:22:06.337 --> 00:22:07.605
  • And now you have to also help
  • 00:22:07.605 --> 00:22:09.741
  • The jews to come back home.
  • 00:22:09.741 --> 00:22:11.376
  • We couldn't do the work without
  • 00:22:11.376 --> 00:22:12.777
  • Christian friends.
  • 00:22:12.777 --> 00:22:13.645
  • We couldn't do the work without
  • 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:15.513
  • Christian prayers for us.
  • 00:22:15.513 --> 00:22:17.615
  • And you know, especially now
  • 00:22:18.216 --> 00:22:19.617
  • During the war and right as the
  • 00:22:19.617 --> 00:22:22.287
  • War is ending, when christians
  • 00:22:22.287 --> 00:22:24.055
  • Come in person to visit us and
  • 00:22:24.055 --> 00:22:26.457
  • To be part of us, there's
  • 00:22:26.457 --> 00:22:28.026
  • Nothing that's more special and
  • 00:22:28.026 --> 00:22:29.394
  • Impactful for us.
  • 00:22:29.394 --> 00:22:30.728
  • It's boots on the ground,
  • 00:22:30.728 --> 00:22:31.796
  • People that are coming to
  • 00:22:31.796 --> 00:22:32.764
  • Comfort like the prophets talk
  • 00:22:32.764 --> 00:22:34.899
  • About that comforting the
  • 00:22:34.899 --> 00:22:36.935
  • Nation of israel.
  • 00:22:36.935 --> 00:22:37.802
  • Christians have come to do that
  • 00:22:37.802 --> 00:22:39.671
  • So first of all, i thank the
  • 00:22:39.671 --> 00:22:40.872
  • Christians who support us.
  • 00:22:40.872 --> 00:22:42.073
  • And i invite all the others
  • 00:22:42.073 --> 00:22:43.942
  • Because there's still 15
  • 00:22:43.942 --> 00:22:45.476
  • Million jews outside of israel
  • 00:22:45.476 --> 00:22:47.378
  • That we want to bring back.
  • 00:22:47.378 --> 00:22:49.047
  • And together we're doing the
  • 00:22:49.047 --> 00:22:50.582
  • Work of god.
  • 00:22:50.582 --> 00:22:51.683
  • We're offering them a home
  • 00:22:51.683 --> 00:22:52.450
  • Place.
  • 00:22:52.450 --> 00:22:53.017
  • We're offering them a
  • 00:22:53.017 --> 00:22:53.818
  • Fulfillment of prophecy.
  • 00:22:53.818 --> 00:22:55.353
  • People are watching, sitting at
  • 00:22:55.353 --> 00:22:56.521
  • Their home and say, ok, how can
  • 00:22:56.521 --> 00:22:57.956
  • I help?
  • 00:22:57.956 --> 00:22:58.623
  • We invite everyone to a, get
  • 00:22:58.623 --> 00:23:00.458
  • Involved in the jewish agency,
  • 00:23:00.458 --> 00:23:02.026
  • To reach out to us, to be part
  • 00:23:02.026 --> 00:23:04.062
  • Of us.
  • 00:23:04.062 --> 00:23:04.796
  • We ask you to pray.
  • 00:23:04.796 --> 00:23:06.130
  • We pray for you from israel for
  • 00:23:06.130 --> 00:23:07.599
  • The safety of christians around
  • 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:08.800
  • The world and your success.
  • 00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:10.435
  • And as the bible says, those
  • 00:23:10.435 --> 00:23:11.469
  • Who bless israel will be
  • 00:23:11.469 --> 00:23:12.770
  • Blessed.
  • 00:23:12.770 --> 00:23:13.471
  • So we pray that that blessing
  • 00:23:13.471 --> 00:23:14.872
  • Will come true for you.
  • 00:23:14.872 --> 00:23:16.741
  • We invite you to come visit us.
  • 00:23:16.741 --> 00:23:18.209
  • You know, so many christians
  • 00:23:18.209 --> 00:23:18.943
  • Have come to israel, but so
  • 00:23:18.943 --> 00:23:20.511
  • Many yet have not come.
  • 00:23:20.511 --> 00:23:22.814
  • And it's so special when i meet
  • 00:23:22.814 --> 00:23:24.248
  • A christian for the first time
  • 00:23:24.248 --> 00:23:25.650
  • That they're here.
  • 00:23:25.650 --> 00:23:26.317
  • They say, you know, we heard
  • 00:23:26.317 --> 00:23:27.619
  • About it in the news.
  • 00:23:27.619 --> 00:23:28.653
  • We read about it.
  • 00:23:28.653 --> 00:23:29.354
  • But there's nothing like being
  • 00:23:29.354 --> 00:23:30.288
  • On the ground, walking in the
  • 00:23:30.288 --> 00:23:31.556
  • Same places that all the
  • 00:23:31.556 --> 00:23:33.157
  • Biblical stories took place.
  • 00:23:33.157 --> 00:23:35.059
  • So i invite them to make a
  • 00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:37.028
  • Decision that they're going to
  • 00:23:37.028 --> 00:23:37.996
  • Come and visit us here in israel
  • 00:23:37.996 --> 00:23:40.331
  • And please, when you do, the
  • 00:23:40.331 --> 00:23:41.299
  • Jewish agency wants to host
  • 00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:42.567
  • Them and to show them the
  • 00:23:42.567 --> 00:23:44.435
  • Biblical prophecies.
  • 00:23:44.435 --> 00:23:45.470
  • If they come on a tour, can
  • 00:23:45.470 --> 00:23:46.270
  • They come and see, you know, a
  • 00:23:46.270 --> 00:23:48.039
  • Center, an aliyah center or
  • 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:49.774
  • Something like that?
  • 00:23:49.774 --> 00:23:50.475
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:23:50.475 --> 00:23:51.309
  • You'll meet the people.
  • 00:23:51.309 --> 00:23:52.243
  • Be authentic.
  • 00:23:52.243 --> 00:23:53.277
  • You'll hear the stories.
  • 00:23:53.277 --> 00:23:54.278
  • You'll give the hugs.
  • 00:23:54.278 --> 00:23:55.480
  • You'll see the places.
  • 00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.280
  • You'll see the place that the
  • 00:23:56.280 --> 00:23:56.981
  • Birth of israel took place in.
  • 00:23:56.981 --> 00:23:58.916
  • And absolutely, we host
  • 00:23:58.916 --> 00:24:00.218
  • Hundreds, hundreds of christian
  • 00:24:00.218 --> 00:24:02.453
  • Groups a year, but we know
  • 00:24:02.453 --> 00:24:04.288
  • That's just a fraction.
  • 00:24:04.288 --> 00:24:05.456
  • We invite everybody else.
  • 00:24:05.456 --> 00:24:06.891
  • Rabbi weinstein, thank you
  • 00:24:06.891 --> 00:24:08.993
  • Very, very much.
  • 00:24:08.993 --> 00:24:10.228
  • And may god gives you the
  • 00:24:10.795 --> 00:24:11.863
  • Wisdom and the favor to
  • 00:24:11.863 --> 00:24:13.898
  • Continue to do what you do.
  • 00:24:13.898 --> 00:24:15.500
  • Thank you so much.
  • 00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:16.501
  • To you, our friends.
  • 00:24:16.501 --> 00:24:18.469
  • Thank you very much.
  • 00:24:18.469 --> 00:24:19.404
  • And thank you for your love and
  • 00:24:19.404 --> 00:24:20.538
  • Support for the people of
  • 00:24:20.538 --> 00:24:22.540
  • Israel.
  • 00:24:22.540 --> 00:24:23.174
  • Back to you, yair.
  • 00:24:23.608 --> 00:24:24.509
  • I hope you like this report.
  • 00:24:25.109 --> 00:24:27.211
  • Now, let's go to a short
  • 00:24:27.211 --> 00:24:28.713
  • Commercial break, after which
  • 00:24:28.713 --> 00:24:30.381
  • We'll return to pray together
  • 00:24:30.381 --> 00:24:32.116
  • For the people of israel.
  • 00:24:32.116 --> 00:24:38.006
  • For the people of israel.
  • 00:24:38.006 --> 00:24:41.361
  • Thank you for coming back.
  • 00:24:41.928 --> 00:24:43.630
  • Now, i think it's very obvious
  • 00:24:44.230 --> 00:24:46.533
  • To all of us that this war is
  • 00:24:46.533 --> 00:24:49.068
  • Not about oil.
  • 00:24:49.068 --> 00:24:50.136
  • It's not about natural
  • 00:24:50.136 --> 00:24:51.437
  • Resources.
  • 00:24:51.437 --> 00:24:52.505
  • It's not about politics.
  • 00:24:52.505 --> 00:24:53.773
  • This is a spiritual war.
  • 00:24:54.307 --> 00:24:56.743
  • The enemies of god want to
  • 00:24:57.310 --> 00:24:59.646
  • Destroy israel.
  • 00:24:59.646 --> 00:25:00.647
  • Why?
  • 00:25:00.647 --> 00:25:01.581
  • Because it is living proof that
  • 00:25:01.581 --> 00:25:04.384
  • God is faithful to his promises
  • 00:25:04.384 --> 00:25:06.486
  • Thousands of years ago to
  • 00:25:06.486 --> 00:25:08.955
  • Abraham, to isaac, to jacob.
  • 00:25:08.955 --> 00:25:10.657
  • The fact that israel is still
  • 00:25:11.291 --> 00:25:12.725
  • Here in modern days is living
  • 00:25:12.725 --> 00:25:14.761
  • Proof that god is performing
  • 00:25:14.761 --> 00:25:16.663
  • Miracles in modern days.
  • 00:25:16.663 --> 00:25:19.599
  • Huge miracles.
  • 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:20.466
  • Those same miracles that he did
  • 00:25:20.466 --> 00:25:21.801
  • In biblical times.
  • 00:25:21.801 --> 00:25:23.236
  • So thousands of rockets are
  • 00:25:23.837 --> 00:25:26.539
  • Launched at israel, and we are
  • 00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:29.242
  • Still here.
  • 00:25:29.242 --> 00:25:30.243
  • Seven different terror nations
  • 00:25:30.243 --> 00:25:32.111
  • Attack us.
  • 00:25:32.111 --> 00:25:33.179
  • We are still here.
  • 00:25:33.179 --> 00:25:34.480
  • It's not because of our amazing
  • 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:36.216
  • Army, because we're smart.
  • 00:25:36.216 --> 00:25:38.084
  • It's because god is faithful.
  • 00:25:38.084 --> 00:25:39.786
  • He is faithful, and he listens
  • 00:25:39.786 --> 00:25:42.055
  • To prayers.
  • 00:25:42.055 --> 00:25:43.356
  • So when we pray, let's ask for
  • 00:25:43.356 --> 00:25:45.992
  • Wisdom to my leaders, to your
  • 00:25:45.992 --> 00:25:48.328
  • Leaders, to our allied forces,
  • 00:25:48.328 --> 00:25:50.930
  • The troops that are stationed
  • 00:25:50.930 --> 00:25:52.198
  • In this region.
  • 00:25:52.198 --> 00:25:53.566
  • Let's pray for the iranian people
  • 00:25:53.566 --> 00:25:55.335
  • They need it more than anybody else
  • 00:25:55.335 --> 00:25:57.937
  • They need a different regime.
  • 00:25:57.937 --> 00:26:00.106
  • They need freedom to worship god
  • 00:26:00.106 --> 00:26:02.542
  • They are doing it, but they
  • 00:26:03.142 --> 00:26:04.644
  • Need to do it freely.
  • 00:26:04.644 --> 00:26:06.145
  • Let's pray for the peace of jerusalem
  • 00:26:06.145 --> 00:26:06.145
