Dear ,

We are very excited to announce a new live webinar with Rabbi Ken Spiro! Details below.

We also published another article about Jubilee in Breaking Israel News - read all about it!

Gidon answers another Ask the Rabbi question, this time about the very words Israel, Hebrew and Jew.

Here is part 2 from Bob's fascinating if controversial interview with Doug Hamp!

And we finish up as usual with a beautiful comment from one of our students - this time a review of Jubilee NOW! on Amazon - and a beautiful picture from the Land of Israel.

Shalom,

Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell

Ask the Rabbi:
Israelite, Hebrew, and Jew

Chris asked:

I’d like to better understand that evolution of the words Israelite, Hebrew, and Jew. My grandmother and I have spoken about our lack of understanding in the Old Testament how these names came about. Jacob and Israel is obvious, but where/when did the name Hebrew come about and/or why? Same with the name/title Jew? It just seemed to us that there was a hard transition from one name to another and no real understanding of where or why the Jewish people were called by the various names.

Thanks for asking Chris!

Jubilee 25: Favorable Year

Once again, Breaking Israel News is host to another innovative op ed by Bob and Gidon!

Earlier in this series, we examined the Ninth of Av (observed this year on Sunday, August 14, 2016), the quintessential day of tragedy for the Jewish people, and invited Christians to join Jews in prayer on this day.

Today we examine a very positive topic: Is Jubilee in general, and this perhaps year in particular the Year of the Lord’s Favor?

An Interview with Doug Hamp

Did Jesus speak Aramaic or Hebrew as his language of teaching and interacting with other Jews?

In Part 2 of this interview, Author Doug Hamp finishes making a compelling case from the Bible that Jesus taught and spoke Hebrew. Doug and Bob then turn their attention to the question of motivation.

Why have so many researchers been so quick to dismiss Hebrew and insist on Aramaic? What is REALLY going on here?

Our Readers Love Us!

People are loving Jubilee NOW!

Cheryl Ryan left a five star review:

Exciting book addressed to Christians and Jews on the Jubilee

August 1, 2016

The two authors of Israel First and fascinating read have now written a second book on the mystery of the Jubilee. This will be an amazing read that attempts to solve the ancient question of the Jubilee and it's meaning for us and our world. I highly recommend adding this book to your list... Jubilee Now is going to prove to be a very important find.
