Will Jews Vote for Trump or Harris? Why It Matters to Israel

Peter Deutsch, a former Jewish Democratic Congressman from Florida, makes a compelling case for his decision to vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Despite his long-standing loyalty to the Democratic Party, he argues that the stakes are too high for Israel and the U.S. to continue under the leadership of the Harris-Biden administration.

Deutsch points to the administration's policies towards Iran, particularly the lifting of sanctions and the resumption of funding, as direct contributors to the rise in threats against both Israel and the U.S. He recalls the peace and strength experienced during Trump's presidency, including the elimination of Qasem Soleimani, the mastermind behind Iran’s terrorist operations, and Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, which significantly weakened Iran's ability to fund its terrorist proxies.

Deutsch also addresses Trump’s often-controversial rhetoric and personality, acknowledging that the former president has said...

After the Storm: To Build a Sukkah or Not?

In her deeply personal reflection, a Jewish woman from Asheville, North Carolina, wrestled with the decision to build a sukkah after Hurricane Helene devastated her city. The sukkah—a temporary dwelling built during the festival of Sukkot—is a symbol of protection, community, and God's presence. Yet, standing amidst fallen trees and damaged homes, she felt it was inappropriate to engage in a symbolic act when so many were facing immediate, real-world needs. She writes, "I couldn’t possibly go buy building materials for a temporary, symbolic dwelling when people desperately need those building materials to repair their actual homes."

The emotional and spiritual tension she described raises a question for all of us, especially as Modern-Day Esthers: What does faith look like in the face of disaster? This struggle between honoring tradition and addressing practical needs resonates beyond just the Jewish community. We, as Christians, may also find ourselves questioning...

"Let My People Go"—A Call to Freedom

In Exodus 9:1, God commands Moses to deliver a powerful message to Pharaoh: "Let my people go, so that they may worship me." This moment marked the beginning of Israel's journey from captivity to freedom, a story of God’s deliverance that still resonates today. The cry for freedom isn’t just a call to physical liberation—it’s a call to spiritual freedom.

As we look at Israel’s modern-day struggle, we are reminded that God is still at work, delivering His people from bondage. Whether it’s the hostages held by Hamas or the spiritual chains that bind us, God’s call for freedom remains constant. Let us, as modern-day Esthers, stand in prayer and action, trusting God’s hand to bring freedom to His people.

As modern-day Esthers, we are called not only to intercede for Israel but to step out in bold faith. Esther stood in the gap for her people, risking her life for their deliverance. Today, we too are called to pray for Israel’s...

Uncovering the United Nation’s Covert Operations in Lebanon and Gaza

Uncategorized Oct 18, 2024

Last week, during Yom Kippur, Judaism’s holiest day of the year, Hezbollah fired another unholy barrage of rockets into Israel from its southern Lebanon stronghold. One million Israelis rushed into bomb shelters to wait out the intermittent but heavy attacks. A day later, an Iranian drone armed with a missile crashed into the roof of an IDF dining room south of Haifa—murdering four Golani Brigade soldiers and injuring dozensmore. Israel’s defensive war has resulted in yet another level of intense anguish for its beleaguered people.

Early on, Israel discovered how Hamas used UNWRA (TheUnited Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) as a cover for terror. Now, with Israel’s fight against Hezbollah in...

"Let My People Go": A Call for Freedom Echoes Through Israel's History

In a moment that recalls the ancient cry of Moses before Pharaoh, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invoked powerful words: "Let my people go!" This bold declaration wasn’t directed at an ancient oppressor, but at Hamas—the terror group that has held Israeli hostages captive since the horrific attacks on October 7, 2023. Just as Pharaoh hardened his heart and refused to free the Israelites, Hamas continues to resist all efforts to release the innocent men, women, and children it holds in bondage.

In the days ahead, Netanyahu has vowed to increase military and political pressure on Hamas, much like the plagues of Egypt were used to break Pharaoh’s grip on the people of Israel. The parallels are striking, reminding us that Israel’s fight for freedom has always been a part of its prophetic journey.

Modern-day Esthers: Navigating the Prophetic Significance of Hebrew Year 5785

As we emerge from Yom Kippur and approach Sukkot, we stand at a prophetic moment in the Hebrew year 5785. This year is rich with meaning for both Israel and believers around the world. For modern-day Esthers, it is a season of grace, redemption, and transformation—a call to align ourselves with God's purpose and to stand firmly for Israel.

Yom Kippur: A Time of Reflection and Renewal

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is a sacred time of reflection, repentance, and seeking God’s mercy. As believers, we join in prayer with our Jewish brothers and sisters, asking for God’s protection, healing, and peace. This is a time to reflect on how we are called to act in this world as modern-day Esthers—women who courageously stand for God’s people, interceding and advocating in moments of crisis.

But as we move beyond Yom Kippur, we are reminded that God’s work in us doesn’t end with forgiveness. He offers grace to transform us, empowering us to step...

Hezbollah Launches Rockets and Drones into Israel on Yom Kippur

 

On October 11, 2024, Hezbollah continued its assault on Israel, launching rockets and drones throughout Yom Kippur.

Walking in Faithful Service—A Call to Modern-Day Esthers

As Christian Women For Israel navigates challenging times marked by rising hate and conflict, it is vital to reflect on the heart of Esther’s story—a woman who rose in obedience to protect her people and serve the Lord with unwavering faith. Esther understood her divine calling, standing with courage in a time of great fear, just as we are called to do today.

In 1 Samuel 12:24, we are reminded: "Be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you." This verse speaks to the essence of a modern-day Esther. Serving God faithfully requires deep trust in His plan, especially when facing adversity. Esther did not shrink back in the face of danger, and neither can we.

Today, we see rising anti-Semitism and the spread of hate. Just as Esther faced Haman’s threats, modern-day Esthers are called to stand against the evil we witness in the world. We are called to act boldly, knowing that God is with us. He has...
