This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: After studying three groups of Jewish people who live all over the world, the fourth and final part of our series focuses on the Jewish people who have always lived in the land of Israel. Chris explains the history of the Jewish people's uninterrupted presence in Israel, affirming their right to the land God promised them. Tune in to learn how malaria, kibbutzim, and the founding of Petah Tikva led to modern Israel's rebirth and how these Jewish people maintained their presence in the Holy Land!

This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: Here's one Jewish ethnicity you may have never heard of before: Mizrahi. After focusing on the more familiar Ashkenazi and Sephardic backgrounds the past two weeks, we're directing your attention to this lesser-known group this week. Chris shares exciting stories about their traditions and history. He also reveals the horror of the massacre they suffered in Iraq and other eras of persecution they've endured. Their historical suffering is a strong reminder of the trials the Jewish people still face today simply because of their ethnicity. Don't miss this insightful look at Mizrahi Jewish culture!

This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: The Jewish experience is not easy to pinpoint because of the significant differences among Jewish backgrounds. The countries of origin of Jewish people are spread out all over the world, from Morocco to Mexico, from Ukraine to Spain, and many nations in between. But this week we're narrowing our focus to the experience of the Jewish people from Spain and Portugal: Sephardic Jews. Whether or not this is your first time learning about Ladino, bourekas, and Rambam, you'll enjoy this look at Sephardic culture and gain a better understanding of the Jewish identity!

This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: We know you love the Jewish people, so we want to help you get to know them!

You'll recognize their music, cuisine, humor, and elements of their language that are a daily part of modern society.

This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: The Jewish holiday Sukkot, also called the Feast of Tabernacles, is a time to remember when God dwelled with the Israelites in the wilderness in the Old Testament. Today we who believe in Jesus have the very same reason to celebrate: We have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us at all times! Learn all about Sukkot and what joyful implications it has for Christians today on this week's program, and enjoy a story from Apples of Gold, a dramatic reading from the life of Holocaust survivor Zvi Kalisher.

This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: On the heels of the joyful Jewish New Year celebration comes Yom Kippur, observed this upcoming Sunday night through Monday night. This much more solemn holiday, also called the Day of Atonement, reminds us of our sin that must be confessed to our holy God. On this week's program Chris takes us through the book of Leviticus, a book many of us find too difficult and culturally different to understand, to teach us some very cool aspects of the Levitical system you may have never heard of before. Tune in to learn about Yom Kippur and how the ultimate sacrifice for sin changed this day forever.
