This chapter opens with a striking shift in the cycle of Shoftim: Israel again does evil in the eyes of Hashem, yet for the first time there is no cry, no repentance, and no plea for help. And yet—Hashem begins redemption anyway. This reveals a profound truth in Tanach: sometimes geulah (redemption) begins not in response to our awareness, but from Divine compassion that precedes our awakening. From the barren woman of Manoah’s household to the angelic visitation announcing the birth of Samson, we see how Hashem prepares salvation before anyone even asks. Even hidden details—like Nazirite restrictions, unnamed characters, and silent preparation—become the foundation of future redemption. 📖 Topics include: Judges Chapter 13 explained (Sefer Shoftim study) The silence of Israel: no cry of repentance for the first time “God initiates redemption even without a plea” The birth announcement of Samson (Shimshon) the Nazir The barren woman as a vessel of hidden redemption Manoah, his wife, and the angel of Hashem “Pele” — the angel beyond human understanding (peli / wonder) Nazirite identity and spiritual preparation before birth “He will begin to deliver Israel” (Judges 13:5) The meaning of “yachel” — redemption as a process, not a moment The Spirit of Hashem beginning to stir Samson (Judges 13:25) Hidden providence and the quiet beginning of geulah This Book of Judges Bible study (Shoftim Torah teaching) reveals a timeless message: even when Israel is silent, Hashem is already preparing redemption—long before we recognize our need for it, He is already building the future deliverance.

After external victory, Israel collapses inward, descending into its first civil war — a devastating conflict that reveals the danger of division within a nation. Following Yiftach’s triumph over Ammon, the tribe of Ephraim confronts him with anger and accusation. What could have been resolved with humility instead escalates into violence, exposing a deeper fracture within Israel. This episode contrasts Yiftach’s response with Gideon’s earlier approach, revealing how leadership shaped by pain and rejection can struggle to preserve unity. At the heart of the chapter lies one of the most haunting moments in Tanach — the “Shibboleth” test. A single word, a subtle difference in pronunciation, becomes the line between life and death. Through this chilling episode, Ari and Jeremy uncover a timeless warning about tribalism, identity, and how small differences, when filled with contempt, can tear a nation apart. But even in the darkness, the seeds of redemption begin to emerge. The chapter closes with the quiet leadership of Ibzan, Elon, and Avdon — and a powerful tradition identifying Ibzan as Boaz, the ancestor of King David. In the aftermath of division and bloodshed, healing begins not through miracles or battles, but through connection, family, and the slow work of rebuilding unity. This episode reveals a profound truth: when a nation loses its shared purpose, even its holiest places can become battlegrounds. But when individuals choose to build, connect, and look toward the future, redemption is already taking root. 📖 Topics: • Judges 12 explained • Israel’s first civil war • Yiftach vs Gideon: leadership under pressure • Shibboleth and the danger of division • Tribalism and identity in Tanach • The power of speech — words that build or destroy • The Jordan River: from unity to division • Ibzan, Boaz, and the roots of King David • Rebuilding unity after conflict Chazak ve’ematz — the journey continues with the birth of Samson in Judges Chapter 13.

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel Daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/ In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 11 — one of the most complex and heartbreaking chapters in the Book of Judges. From rejection and redemption to leadership, diplomacy, and tragedy, this chapter challenges everything we think we know about faith and power. Yiftach emerges as one of the most unexpected leaders in Tanach — a mighty warrior, yet the son of a prostitute, cast out by his own family and forced to live on the margins of society. When Israel faces crisis, the very people who rejected him come back in desperation. What unfolds is a story of resilience, clarity, and the rise of leadership from the edges rather than the center. Before going to war, Yiftach does something remarkable — he attempts diplomacy. Through a powerful historical and theological argument, he defends Israel’s rightful claim to the land, offering a timeless response to accusations that still echo today. This episode unpacks why truth — not appeasement — is the foundation of lasting strength. But just as victory seems certain, the story takes a devastating turn. Yiftach makes a vow — unnecessary, impulsive, and rooted in fear rather than faith. The consequences are tragic, leading to one of the most painful and morally complex moments in all of Tanach. At the center of this story stands an unnamed figure — Yiftach’s daughter. Her response, dignity, and quiet strength transform this narrative from one of leadership failure into one of profound spiritual depth. While Yiftach’s rise is remarkable, it is her sacrifice that leaves an eternal imprint on the people of Israel. This chapter reveals a sobering truth: even those chosen to lead can falter — and when they do, the cost can be immense. It also reminds us that true greatness is often found not in power, but in those who respond with faith, humility, and courage in the face of unimaginable loss. 📖 Topics: • Judges 11 explained • Yiftach: rejected leader to redeemer • Leadership from the margins • Biblical diplomacy and truth • Land of Israel in Tanach • The power and danger of vows • Pride, humility, and spiritual responsibility • Yiftach’s daughter and the legacy of sacrifice • Faith, tragedy, and moral complexity Chazak ve’ematz — the journey continues in Judges Chapter 12.

In this episode of the Land of Israel Fellowship, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the powerful spiritual journey between Achrei Mot and Kedoshim, two Torah portions that challenge us to confront who we are and who we’re meant to become. Recorded during the days of the Counting of the Omer, this conversation weaves together personal stories, ancient wisdom, and present-day life in Israel. Ari shares a simple yet profound parenting moment that opens the door to a much deeper discussion: how boundaries, reverence, and trust shape not only our families but our relationship with God. Together, we explore: The deeper meaning of the scapegoat (Azazel) and spiritual release Why true growth requires both honesty and letting go What it means to “be holy” in everyday life (Kedoshim Tihyu) How to move from spiritual freedom to spiritual responsibility Letting go of resentment and learning to love others fullyTrusting God’s plan even when life doesn’t make sense Set against the backdrop of modern-day Israel, this episode also reflects on faith during uncertain times, the nearness of redemption, and how to prepare ourselves spiritually for Shavuot, the re-receiving of the Torah. Whether you’re on a spiritual journey, exploring the Bible more deeply, or seeking meaning in today’s complex world, this conversation offers clarity, strength, and inspiration.

👉 Join a worldwide community united a love of Israel, God and Torah: https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ Is faith in Israel becoming… mainstream? In this episode, we explore a surprising cultural shift happening across Israeli society—one that challenges long-held assumptions about secularism and spirituality in the Jewish state. From young Israelis reconnecting with the Bible to national events that highlight a renewed interest in tradition, something deeper is unfolding beneath the surface. What’s driving this quiet revival? Is it cultural, spiritual, or a response to uncertainty in the region? We unpack the growing trend of Israelis—many of them secular—rediscovering faith, identity, and heritage in new and unexpected ways. Along the way, we examine how this shift intersects with broader developments in Israeli society, regional tensions, and the global conversation around religion and identity. This isn’t the Israel many people think they know.

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/#fellowship In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 9 — one of the most intense and sobering chapters in the entire Book of Judges. Unlike previous chapters, this is not a story of external enemies, but of internal collapse, as Israel faces the devastating consequences of corrupt leadership from within. Through the rise and fall of Avimelech, Ari and Jeremy uncover a powerful warning about the dangers of power disconnected from purpose. From his manipulation of Shechem to the brutal murder of his seventy brothers, this episode reveals how leadership built on ego, fear, and idolatry ultimately self-destructs. Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight Jotham’s profound parable of the trees — one of the earliest and most striking allegories in Tanach. The contrast between fruitful trees that refuse power and the empty thornbush that seeks it exposes a timeless truth: when true leaders decline authority, those unworthy of it often rise in their place. This teaching reveals a timeless message: when leadership is driven by self-interest instead of service, destruction follows from within. True authority does not seek power — it flows from purpose, humility, and alignment with Hashem. 📖 Topics: • Judges 9 explained • Avimelech and failed kingship • Internal conflict in Israel • Jotham’s parable of the trees • Leadership vs power • Idolatry and corruption • Midah k’neged midah (measure for measure) • The dangers of ego-driven leadership

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/#fellowship In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 8 — the complex and deeply human continuation of Gideon’s story. After the miraculous victory of Chapter 7, this chapter reveals what happens after the triumph, when the external battle is won but the internal struggle begins. Through Gideon’s interactions with the tribe of Ephraim, and the defeated Midianite kings, Ari and Jeremy uncover the emotional and spiritual toll of leadership. From humility and wisdom to personal pain and shifting motivations, this episode traces Gideon’s gradual descent and the subtle ways greatness can turn into a spiritual stumbling block. Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight the tension between divine mission and personal ambition. From Gideon’s refusal of kingship to his creation of the ephod, the chapter reveals how even the greatest leaders can fall into traps when the clarity of purpose fades. The concept of a “mokesh” — a hidden spiritual landmine — becomes a powerful lens through which to understand how success itself can become the greatest test. This teaching reveals a timeless message: the greatest danger is not failure, but what happens after success. When victory turns into comfort and clarity fades into self-focus, even the most righteous paths can quietly lead us astray. 📖 Topics: • Gideon’s leadership and decline • Ephraim’s confrontation • Succoth and Penuel • Personal vs national motivation • Refusal of kingship • The ephod and spiritual pitfalls • Mokesh — spiritual traps after success

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/ In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 7, the dramatic story of Gideon’s battle against Midian. This chapter reveals one of the most powerful and counterintuitive lessons in all of Tanach: sometimes victory comes דווקא through less, fewer people, fewer resources, and fewer reasons to rely on anything but Hashem. As Gideon’s army is reduced from 32,000 to just 300 men, Ari and Jeremy uncover the deeper purpose behind this process. This is not just a military strategy, it is a spiritual refinement. The battle is not only against Midian, but against the illusion of self-reliance, teaching that true redemption leaves no room for “my own strength saved me.” In this video, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight Gideon’s transformation into a true warrior of faith, navigating fear, taking action, and learning to trust Hashem completely. From the dream of the barley loaf to the shocking battle plan of shofars, jars, and torches, this episode reveals how Hashem works through what appears weak, small, and insufficient to bring about ultimate victory. 📖 Topics: • Judges 7 explained • Gideon’s 300 men • Faith vs. self-reliance • Hishtadlut and trust in Hashem • The barley loaf dream • Shofar, jars, and torches • Courage in the face of fear • Spiritual warfare in Shoftim This teaching reveals a timeless message: true strength is not measured by numbers or power, but by clarity of faith. When everything is stripped away and only trust in Hashem remains, that is when the greatest victories become possible.

👉 Join the Prophets of Israel daily and the Land of Israel Network for Torah learning from the heart of Israel. https://thelandofisrael.com/ In this episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore Judges Chapter 6 and introduce one of Israel’s most unlikely leaders — Gideon. This chapter reveals a new kind of struggle, where Israel is not conquered by force but slowly drained through relentless oppression, leaving the nation hiding, exhausted, and on the brink of collapse. Through the story of Gideon, Ari and Jeremy uncover a powerful shift in how redemption begins. Before salvation comes, there is a moment of truth — a prophetic call to recognize that Israel’s battles are not only physical, but deeply spiritual. From economic warfare to internal reckoning, this episode shows how growth begins when reality is faced head-on. In this video, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight Gideon’s deeply human journey — from doubt and fear to courage and leadership. Rather than being chosen for his strength, Gideon is chosen for his questions, his pain, and his refusal to accept a broken world. Step by step, sign by sign, he grows into his calling, teaching that faith is not instant — it is built through action, honesty, and persistence. 📖 Topics: • Judges 6 explained • Gideon (Gidon) introduction • Midianite oppression and economic warfare • Faith and doubt in leadership • Spiritual vs physical battles • Destroying idolatry (Baal altar) • Signs from Hashem (the fleece) • Growing into leadership and emunah This Shoftim / Book of Judges teaching reveals a timeless message: Hashem does not wait for perfect people — He calls those who are willing. Leadership is not about feeling ready, but about stepping forward even with doubt, and allowing faith to grow through the journey itself.

This powerful chapter is not just a recounting of victory, but a blueprint for how redemption unfolds when a nation recognizes Hashem’s hand and chooses to respond. Through the lens of Shirat Devorah, Ari and Jeremy explore the idea that true redemption is not only experienced but named — in real time. From the connection to Az Yashir and the unfolding song of history, to the role of leadership and voluntary action, this episode reveals how every generation participates in an ongoing divine symphony. Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel highlight the contrast between those who step forward and those who remain passive, the courage of unexpected heroes like Yael, and the powerful message that redemption belongs to those who act when the moment calls. The episode closes with a profound reflection on the cost of victory, the compassion of Deborah, and the enduring light of those who love Hashem. 📖 Topics: • Judges 5 explained • Song of Deborah (Shirat Devorah) • Az Yashir and redemption • Leadership and free will (Hitnadvut) • Yael vs. Meroz • Seeing Hashem in history • The cost of victory and compassion in leadership • The ongoing song of redemption This teaching reveals a timeless message: redemption is not only about what happens, but about how we respond to it. When we pause to recognize, give thanks, and step forward with courage, we become active participants in the unfolding story — adding our own voice to the eternal song of Israel.

In this powerful Land of Israel Fellowship session from Israel, Jeremy Gimpel reflects on the emotional and spiritual weight of the days between Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut, where national grief meets miraculous rebirth. Ari Abramowitz shares a deeply personal dvar Torah after missing a night of counting the Omer for the first time in years. What begins as a moment of failure becomes a profound spiritual insight: The Hebrew word for “wound” (nega) contains the same letters as “delight” (oneg). The difference is how it’s revealed. Through vulnerability, marriage, and faith, Ari explores how setbacks can become gateways to deeper connection with God, with others, and within ourselves. Even in weakness, we remain “Adam” created with divine dignity. This message connects to the larger story unfolding in Israel today: Out of national pain is emerging unity, faith, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Israel is once again oppressed, this time by Sisera and 900 iron chariots, representing overwhelming military power. For 20 years, Israel suffers under fear and domination until a prophetess emerges under a palm tree: Devorah, the judge of Israel. She calls Barak to battle and declares a powerful truth: “Has Hashem not commanded?” This war is already decided in Heaven before it begins, “Hashem has delivered Sisera into your hand.” But the victory does not come through expected strength. Instead, the story shifts to unexpected courage, moral clarity, and decisive action. Barak hesitates. Devorah leads. And Yael, acting alone and without command, brings down Sisera in one of the most shocking moments in Tanach. 📖 Topics include: Judges Chapter 4 explained Devorah the prophetess and judge Barak and faith vs hesitation Sisera and 900 iron chariots Yael and the tent peg story (Judges 4:21 corrected focus) Moral clarity vs neutrality Women of valor in the Bible How divine victory unfolds in hidden ways This Shoftim / Book of Judges teaching reveals a timeless message: history is not moved by power alone but by clarity, courage, and action at the right moment.

What does “victory” actually mean in this context? And how does that definition shift when viewed through the lens of Israel’s Memorial Day and Independence Day? We explore historic diplomatic movements, including unprecedented U.S.-hosted talks between Israel and Lebanon the first such discussions in decades while tensions escalate as Hezbollah resists negotiations and Turkey’s President Erdoğan signals possible military involvement. The episode also examines key internal and global pressures: rising opposition among U.S. Senate Democrats to arms sales to Israel, a controversial legal case involving an IDF reservist in Samaria, and new immigration data showing tens of thousands of Jews continuing to make aliyah despite ongoing conflict. Beyond politics and war, we look at a deeper cultural shift underway, as a new generation in Israel is reconnecting with Jewish identity in powerful and unexpected ways. With regional instability, shifting alliances, and ideological battles intensifying, this conversation challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level headlines and engage with the deeper realities shaping Israel’s present and future.

This chapter introduces the nations left in the land as a “test,” leading to Israel’s repeated cycle of forgetting, oppression, crying out, and redemption. From Othniel, the first judge, to Ehud ben Gera and the surprising downfall of Eglon, we see how God works through unexpected people, unexpected moments, and even human weakness to bring salvation. This Book of Judges also highlights one of the most famous stories in Shoftim, Ehud the left-handed deliverer and the hidden providence behind Israel’s victory over Moab. Even the smallest details become instruments of redemption. 📖 Topics include: Judges Chapter 3 explained The cycle of the Judges (forgetting → crisis → redemption) Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar Ehud and King Eglon story explained “God left the nations to test Israel” (Judges 3:1) Divine providence in hidden details Israel, memory, and spiritual identity This Shoftim / Book of Judges teaching reveals a timeless message: even when Israel forgets, God never does and every cry brings redemption.

This teaching reveals what happens when a generation inherits everything but forgets the story behind it. The Book of Judges begins with a divine warning: Israel has entered the land, but a new generation arises “who did not know Hashem.” From here begins the famous cycle of Judges forgetting, crisis, oppression, crying out, and redemption through judges sent by God. In this video Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel uncover a deep spiritual truth: the greatest danger to Israel is not external enemies, but forgetting identity, covenant, and purpose. Even as God warns and allows challenges to remain in the land, it is not punishment but a divine test of faith and remembrance. 📖 Topics include: Judges Chapter 2 explained “A generation that did not know Hashem” The cycle of the Judges Bochim and the cry of Israel Covenant, memory, and identity in Israel Why God leaves challenges in the land (Judges 2:21–22 corrected focus) The Book of Judges / Shoftim Bible teaching connects ancient Israel to modern Israel showing how spiritual memory shapes national destiny.

Dr. Kenneth Levin has made a career of battling the aggression, canards and outright lies spewed by anti-Israel media, educational institutions and political activists. His newest book focuses on the Jewish communities’ self delusion in an era of rapidly rising anti-Semitism. He tells Eve Harow that intense hatred emanating from the far right is sadly expected, but the Jewish leadership identification with and capitulation to ‘progressives’, jihadists and black nationalists is naive, appalling and dangerous. His expertise in psychiatry and history combine in this very important book to cogently explain the differences and commonalities of the modern expressions on the oldest hatred. In memory of the 6 million who paid the ultimate price and in honor of the Israelis who will never let it happen again.
