Living in a war zone is an experience that most Americans find hard to fathom. While the United States has faced attacks, its wars have primarily been fought abroad. However, in Israel, the situation is different. In a country the size of New Jersey, surrounded by enemies, Israelis face constant threats and live under the shadow of rocket alerts. They are adjusting to a new normal, one that requires resilience and reorientation.

Yet, our resolve remains unbroken. We remember every life lost, every moment of bravery, and every tear shed. Join us in reflecting on this journey and looking forward with hope.

When God spoke to Abraham in Genesis 12, making an everlasting covenant with him, He didn't just establish a people and nation; He set in motion a cosmic struggle. The real struggle needs to be seen with spiritual eyes beyond the battles. In God's call to Abraham, his declaration, "I choose you," was met with an equally resolute but malevolent echo from Satan, "Then I choose you too." Since that pivotal moment, history has witnessed an unending assault against the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Today marks Kristallnacht or the night of broken glass – the day when, 85 years ago, on November 9, 1938, a pogrom against the Jewish people was carried out by the Nazi Party’s paramilitary, with some participation from the Hitler Youth and German civilians throughout Nazi Germany. Kristallnacht marks the point Hitler moved from an emotional antisemitism to a systematic antisemitism of laws and government violence. Everything changed.

It doesn't take a genius to look around and know that being Jewish in America doesn't exactly come with perks. I'm an American, male, Jewish believer in Jesus of Nazareth. That puts me on more than a few of the world's most hated lists. It was enough to make me want to scratch off the rest of that star and just blend in.

It wasn't that long ago that Jews in Europe thought the same thing, who found themselves wearing a yellow Star of David, branded with a tattoo, both of which could not be removed. You would've thought that hatred was satiated 80 years ago, but in fact, the hunger is back.

So, the question has come up: Aren’t all Jews saved? It’s not a new question. It has been brought up many times by Christians who know that the Jews are God’s chosen people and many think that they have a pass to drive the fastrak lane right into the kingdom.

Israel was set to have 2023 be its biggest tourism year since it became a nation again in 1948. More than 9 million people were going to make the holy pilgrimage this year, nearing the actual population of those living in the land, including the 35 souls set to leave on our trip the day after the October 7 attacks. Now in the grip of what feels like a battle for its existence, many of us who regularly travel to Israel wonder when we will be back next.

If one thing is for sure, Israel has been here before, and she will be here again.

In a world where truth seems increasingly elusive, history stands as a sanctuary of undeniable facts. Yet, surprisingly, there are those who continue to challenge even the most profoundly irrefutable events. As the Jewish people, we've faced not only unthinkable atrocities but also those who deny that such horrors ever took place. This is not a new problem; it's a recurring challenge we must confront head-on.

Having assembled a group, Inbal led them to the kibbutz's fence. This fence serves as a physical boundary, but on that day, it became a symbol of the community's resilience. The force that stood as watchmen for their community took their positions and prepared for what was already coming. Soon enough, terrorists coming from Gaza attempted to enter Nir Am. All the intruders were stopped, resulting in the deaths of twenty-five militants at the kibbutz fence.

At times like this some may lose confidence in God because perhaps they are not familiar with the God of the Bible. A word of encouragement would go a long way. Some may see the Messiah as gentle Jesus. And he is compassionate and gracious. He is also a warrior and in the midst of all the evil we are seeing God’s promises to Israel will be fulfilled. He has said it. He has begun it. He will complete it.
