We don’t know the problem we have: reading the Bible at the surface. English translations are trustworthy, but they flatten words that Hebrew infused with density, imagery, and connection. We end up missing layers of meaning that would transform how we live.

In this conversation, we explore what happens when Hebrew cracks open the text. 

Familiar words you thought you understood suddenly leap off the page. Hope is sturdier, love is covenantal, fear is reframed, faith is embodied. The story of God’s promises comes alive in a way that makes you want to keep digging.

This isn’t about becoming a scholar. It’s about recognizing that the Bible is one unified story and learning how the Hebrew underneath points us more deeply to the God who keeps His promises and to the Messiah who fulfills them.

Jerusalem isn’t just a city - it’s the heartbeat of history. 

In this episode, recorded on the eve of Jerusalem Day, Amir Mor, a seasoned tour guide and native Israeli, walks us through the story of Jerusalem like few can. 

From King David’s capital to Montefiore’s daring vision, from the Six-Day War to October 7th, Amir shares not only the triumphs but the traumas that have shaped Israel’s soul.

But this isn’t only about history. It’s about faith, resilience, and the question echoing across centuries: Where is God in the struggle? 

Amir’s stories - personal, raw, and powerful - give us a window into Israel’s pain, its perseverance, and its unshakable hope.

As anti-Semitism rises worldwide, Amir reminds us that truth still matters. Evil is real. But so is redemption. And in the middle of war, prayer, and tears, there is a greater story unfolding.

Listen in, and let this journey through Jerusalem stir your heart for Israel, deepen your understanding of its history, and call you to stand for truth in a world upside down.

If you've ever been curious about Israel, now is the time to take the plunge and join The Jewish Road on an unforgettable trip to the Promised Land. Israel is not only the epicenter of the story of God - past, present, and future - but it's also a place where you can deepen your faith and gain a new perspective on the Bible.

Israel holds a special place in the hearts of Jews and Christians alike. For Jews, it is the Promised Land, a land that has been promised to them by God for centuries. For Christians, Israel is the place where Jesus lived, preached, died, and rose again to ascend to the right hand of the Father. On our trip, you'll have the opportunity to see Act One and Act Two come together in the classroom of Jesus, and you'll be able to explore all that Israel has to offer - from its stunning landscapes to its fascinating history. A trip to Israel is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the Bible come to life.

We are currently planning a trip for Spring 2023. Join us on The Jewish Road to Israel! If you're ready to experience Israel in a whole new way, visit thejewishroad.com/israel today and sign up for our interest list. We can't wait to show you Israel through our eyes!

Ever wondered why the plagues of Egypt are recounted in the Torah?

In this episode of the Jewish Road Podcast, we take a deep dive into the plagues of Egypt. In the creation narrative, God brings order from chaos. We see in the plagues, that these are not just "bad things" that happen to Egypt, but God is reversing the creation narrative, moving from order to chaos, and then back to order again. God is demonstrating His power so not only all of Egypt would know He is God, but so would Israel. And even more so, that we would know He is God.

Join us as we explore this fascinating topic! Each plague has its own unique story and message. You won't want to miss this episode!

Ever wondered about the story of Moses and Pharaoh?

In this episode of the Jewish Road Podcast, we explore one of the most famous stories from the Bible. We start with a Pharoah who knew not Joseph but came to know Moses, and more importantly, the God who sent him. God demonstrates his power in the plagues of Egypt, but it's not only His power being displayed, but there is also something else God shows of Himself, and it's the very thing Pharoah seems to be interested in.

Join us on this journey as we explore one of history's most famous stories and discover what lessons we can learn from it today.

Key Passages:

Genesis 50

24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.” 26 So Joseph died, being 110 years old. They embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Exodus 13

18 But God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle. 19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here.”

Joshua 24

32 As for the bones of Joseph, which the people of Israel brought up from Egypt, they buried them at Shechem, in the piece of land that Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money. It became an inheritance of the descendants of Joseph.

Hebrews 11

22 By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.

Many already know about a 400-year gap between what we call Act One (Old Testament) and Act Two (New Testament), Malachi to Matthew, that in the end, waits for a deliverer, who would be Jesus. But there is another 400-year gap we wanted to address that occurs more than a thousand years earlier that sets the stage for a deliverer as well.
