🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesThis week on The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris and Steve begin with the unusual story of twins born with dramatically different skin tones—one black and one white—which leads into a fascinating biblical connection: the nation of Israel traces its story back to twins, Jacob and Esau. The guys also share some updates from recent travels to Williams Bay, Wisconsin, and Northwest Bible Chapel in Chicago, including more Stick With Israel sticker giveaways and a funny follow-up about longtime listener George, whose daughter discovered even more candy wrappers in his shower drain. They also preview upcoming FOI Equip classes, including Dr. Peter Goeman’s September series, Is the Church the New Israel?, and Dr. Kobby Barda’s October presentation, An Israeli’s View on Christian Zionism.
Chris and Steve then turn to Jesus’ penetrating question in Matthew 16:26: “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” They explore the timeless idea of trading what is eternal for temporary success, drawing connections to works such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Screwtape Letters, and The Pilgrim’s Progress. The conversation also touches on Jesus’ patience with people, Milton Friedman’s famous exchange with Phil Donahue, the strategic value of America’s alliance with Israel, concerns over Israel’s growing “brain drain,” and new developments in Israeli politics. And in keeping with the theme of Jesus’ question about gaining the whole world, the guys close with a Yiddish word connected to “world.”

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesIn this episode of The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Steve joins the conversation from beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, while Chris hosts from New Jersey. Together, they discuss several significant developments involving Israel and the Middle East, including the U.S. Army’s new “Hammer of the Gods” system designed to disrupt missile attacks, recent Israeli political polling showing Likud in second place, and the ongoing disagreement over plans for an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the disarmament of Hamas. They also preview Dr. Peter Goeman’s upcoming FOI Equip class, Is the Church the New Israel?, scheduled for September 3, 10, and 17.
Chris and Steve also reflect on the immeasurable love and greatness of God through the hymn The Love of God and its connection to the ancient Jewish poem Akdamut. Written in Aramaic by Rabbi Meir Ben Isaac Nehorai, the poem declares that even if the oceans were filled with ink and the heavens became a scroll, God’s greatness could never be fully described. The episode also considers several powerful questions Jesus asked throughout the Gospels and concludes with a classic Yiddish Ellis Island story explaining how the phrase “shoyn fargesn”—“I’ve already forgotten”—became the name “Sean Ferguson.”

🕎 Yiddish Word of the Day* Shoyn Fargesn— I forget
An elderly Yiddish-speaking man arrives at Ellis Island after a long and exhausting journey. Along the way, he has passed through so many processing centers—and been given so many different versions of his name—that by the time an immigration officer asks, “What is your name?” his mind goes completely blank.
Flustered, he mutters in Yiddish, “Shoyn fargesn,” meaning, “I’ve already forgotten.”
The officer nods, writes it down, and from that day forward, the man is known as Sean Ferguson.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesThis week on The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris gives listeners an update on his health and recovery, and Steve joins him for a wide-ranging conversation about Jewish history, faith, and the enduring connection of the Jewish people to their homeland. They discuss the surprising fate of Theodor Herzl’s former home, which has become a pizzeria, before turning to Tisha B’Av—the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. Chris and Steve explain the tragedies traditionally remembered on the ninth of Av, including the destruction of both Temples in Jerusalem, the defeat of the Bar Kochba revolt, and the expulsions of Jewish communities from England and Spain. They also revisit the famous story of Napoleon recognizing that a people who mourned Jerusalem for nearly 2,000 years would surely one day return.
The conversation also explores several powerful questions Jesus asked, including, “Who do you say I am?” and “What can a man give in exchange for his soul?” Chris and Steve consider what these questions reveal about faith, doubt, identity, and the eternal value of the soul. Plus, they discuss wooden beams believed to date to the First Temple period, controversial comments about religious Zionists serving in Israel’s military, developments involving the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon, and President Trump’s comments concerning Benjamin Netanyahu. Listeners will also learn the Yiddish word challish, meaning faint or weak with hunger, and hear how they can receive free pro-Israel stickers, become a free FOI Equipper, and join upcoming classes studying the Bible from a Jewish perspective.

🕎 Yiddish Word of the Day* Challish—pronounced KHAH-lish. It means to feel faint, weak, or completely drained, usually because you are extremely hungry. In other words, it is how Chris felt after going five days without eating following surgery! You might say, “Get that man a sandwich—he’s about to go challish!”

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesIn this episode of The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris and Steve explore the Talmud’s fascinating—and often humorous—description of the Seven Types of Pharisees. Six represent outward, hypocritical religion: displaying good deeds for attention, delaying obedience with pious excuses, performing exaggerated acts of modesty, keeping score with God, or serving Him only out of fear. The seventh, however, is the God-loving Pharisee—someone whose obedience flows from sincere faith and genuine love for God. Chris and Steve also examine several thought-provoking questions Jesus asked in the Gospels, including, “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” and “Why are you so afraid?”
The conversation then turns to modern antisemitism and the dangerous stereotype that Jewish people cannot experience hatred or discrimination because they are supposedly wealthy. Rep. Becca Balint recently recalled an unnamed congressional colleague dismissing antisemitism by claiming that “all the Jews are rich”—a statement that exposes how ancient prejudices continue to appear in modern political life. Finally, learn the Yiddish word of the day: אָפּעראַציע (operatsye), meaning “surgery,” along with כירורגיע (khirurgye), the Yiddish term for the medical practice or field of surgery.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesIn this episode of The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris and Steve continue their journey tracing the theme of blood throughout Scripture, moving from the cross to the throne room of heaven. They explore how Revelation presents the shed blood of Jesus not as something forgotten after salvation, but as the eternal song of heaven: “You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood.” From Revelation 5:9 to Revelation 12:11, Chris and Steve show how the blood of the Lamb remains central to worship, redemption, and spiritual victory.
The conversation also turns to the lasting glory of the Lamb in eternity, where the marks of redemption are never erased and the work of Christ is forever remembered. Along the way, Chris and Steve discuss how believers overcome by “the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony,” reminding listeners that Christ’s sacrifice is not only the foundation of salvation but the believer’s ongoing victory.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesThis episode of the Jew and Gentile Podcast Chris and Steve open with a lighter, cultural segment celebrating "Heimish" humor and food culture, including a look at a video on making cholent and kishka, alongside updates on FOI's Equip program — new Become an Equipper resources, free stickers ("Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem," "I Love Israel," "God Bless Israel," "Israel Forever"), and two upcoming Equip classes: Dr. Will Varner teaching "Matthew: The Most Jewish Gospel" (July 9 & 16) and Dr. Peter Goeman teaching "Is the Church the 'New Israel'?" (September 3, 10, 17). The hosts then transition into current events, covering a possible archaeological discovery tied to the Ark of the Covenant, a video on the Pool of Siloam, and a segment addressing the perennial question of why American Jews tend to vote left politically.
The heart of the episode is a teaching installment in the ongoing series "The Shedding of Blood: From Genesis to Revelation," anchored in Leviticus 17:11 and the truth that "the life of the flesh is in the blood." Tracing the theme of blood through Scripture, the discussion moves from Christ's blood at the Last Supper (Matthew 26:28) inaugurating the New Covenant, through the cross as the final sacrifice, to Hebrews 9–10's argument for the superiority of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice over temporal animal offerings. It then follows blood's significance into the church age (Acts 20:28, Romans 5:9, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:20, 1 Peter 1:18–19) as the basis of justification, redemption, reconciliation, and purchase, and finally into eschatology — blood in heaven's worship (Revelation 5:9), in the believer's spiritual victory (Revelation 12:11), and in the eternal glory of the Lamb (Revelation 7:14; 19:13; 21–22). The episode closes with the Yiddish Word of the Week segment, unpacking three Yiddish words for "question" — frage (an everyday question), kashe (a philosophical or tricky question, as in the Passover Four Questions), and shayle (a question of Jewish law posed to a rabbi).

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesIn this episode of the Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris Katulka and Steve Herzig share Dr. Tim Sigler upcoming FOI Equip class "When Your Jewish Friend Believes," before launching into the new teaching series, "The Shedding of Blood: From Genesis to Revelation." Anchored in Leviticus 17:11 ("it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul"), the episode traces blood as a thread running through all of Scripture, from Eden and the blood of Abel, through the covenants with Noah and Abraham, to the Passover blood on the doorposts that delivered Israel from judgment. The discussion continues through the blood sprinkled at Sinai that sealed Israel's covenant relationship with God, the Levitical sacrificial system in the tabernacle that underscored the seriousness of sin, and finally the Day of Atonement, when the high priest could only enter the Holy of Holies by means of blood. The classic hymn "Power in the Blood" by Lewis E. Jones is referenced as a musical reminder of the redeeming power of Christ's blood.
Alongside the theological teaching, the episode features a look at Trump’s MOU and its usual mix of culture and current events: a YouTube clip of Matthew McConaughey sharing his favorite Bible verse, and The Yiddish Word of the Day, "hock a chinik" (literally "don't knock a teakettle at me"), figuratively means "stop bothering me" or "stop talking nonsense." The episode wraps up with mentions of the Equip program and the free sticker giveaway, featuring phrases like "Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem" and "Israel Forever."

🕎 Yiddish Word of the DayHock a Chinik (האק מיר נישט קיין טשייניק) - Blood
Today's word is hock a chinik — and no, we're not talking about hockey. The phrase comes from the longer Yiddish expression "hak mir nisht keyn tshaynik," which literally means "don't knock a teakettle at me." Picture an old teakettle rattling and clanging on the stove, going on and on with no signs of stopping — that's exactly the image. Figuratively, it means "stop bothering me," "stop talking nonsense," or "you're driving me crazy with all this noise."
So next time someone won't stop nagging you about something pointless, you can just say, "Okay, okay — stop hocking me a chinik!" It's the kind of phrase your Jewish grandmother might've used on your uncle at the dinner table. Equal parts exasperated and endearing — which, honestly, describes most great Yiddish expressions.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesIn this episode of the Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris Katulka kicks things off with a viral moment making the rounds — a pastor literally flying down to the stage to declare to his congregation, "Every eye will see Him," a dramatic illustration of Christ's return from Revelation 1:7. From there, Chris shares a fascinating excerpt from JD Vance's book about a candid moment with Donald Trump, who reportedly said, "I want to try and get to heaven, if possible — I'm hearing I'm not doing well," prompting Vance to reflect on Trump's personal relationship with God. The episode also touches on sobering news from Israel, including 157 people killed on Israeli roads, renewed fighting in the north and how citizens there are coping, a celebrated Jewish bakery in Berlin closing due to antisemitic harassment since October 7, and an encouraging story of 60,000 people — Christians, Persians, Hindus, and many others — showing up in Toronto for a record-breaking pro-Israel march. On a lighter note, Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz is going viral celebrating New York Knicks mania with his music video "Parade," filmed right in the middle of NBA Finals fever sweeping NYC's Jewish community.
The heart of this episode launches a brand-new series titled The Shedding of Blood: From Genesis to Revelation — because as Chris puts it, the Bible runs red with blood. Anchored in Leviticus 17:11, which declares that the life of the flesh is in the blood, Chris walks listeners through the first four blood moments of Scripture: God's substitutionary covering for Adam and Eve in Eden (Genesis 3:21), Abel's blood crying out for justice from the ground (Genesis 4:10), the sanctity of human life established in the Noahic Covenant (Genesis 9:4-6), and the blood ratification of God's covenant with Abraham (Genesis 15). Along the way, Chris draws on the timeless hymn Power in the Blood by Lewis E. Jones to frame the theological weight of what blood means — life, sacrifice, atonement, covenant, and redemption. Next week the series continues with Passover, Sinai, the Tabernacle, and the Day of Atonement. Don't forget to grab your free Israel stickers at FOI's website, and tune in June 25th when Dr. Tim Sigler joins the podcast for When Your Jewish Friend Believes. This week's Yiddish Word of the Week: the word for blood is בלוט — pronounced Blut.

🕎 Yiddish Word of the DayBlut (בלוט) - Blood
This week's Yiddish Word of the Week is בלוט — pronounced Blut — the Yiddish word for "blood." Yiddish, the historic language of Ashkenazi Jewish communities, draws heavily from German, which is why Blut sounds nearly identical to the German word for blood as well. It's a fitting word for this week's episode as we begin our new series, The Shedding of Blood: From Genesis to Revelation — a reminder that the story of redemption is woven into the very language and history of the Jewish people.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesThis week on the Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris kicks things off with a question you never thought you'd hear on a Jewish ministry show — what is a Mummer? If you're not from Philadelphia, you might not know that the Mummers are one of America's oldest folk traditions, but this year they showed up to march in New York's Israel Day Parade — sequins, feathers, and all — showing solidarity with Israel on the streets of Manhattan. Only in America. From there, Chris shares updates on FOI Equip and what it means to become an Equipper, and highlights the free Israel stickers available right now — Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, I Love Israel, God Bless Israel, and Israel Forever. Links are in the show notes.
There's a lot happening this week every follower of Jesus needs to hear. A Jewish man named Daniel Grand is fighting all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court after being told he needed a permit to host a prayer gathering in his own home. A Washington Nationals executive was fired after video surfaced showing he blackballed pitcher Trevor Williams from social media promotions because of his Christian faith. Antisemitism is still rearing its ugly head on New York City subways. And for the first time since the Bubonic Plague, the world is facing population decline — except Israel, where four children is the new two. That's not an accident, that's covenant. Which brings us to this — Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen. Put that together with Revelation 19 and what do you get? The King is coming, and every thread of history — every courtroom, every parade, every baby born in Israel — converges on His eternal reign. The Yiddish word for kingdom this week is malkhes. And one day, that kingdom will be undeniable. Thine is the kingdom. Forever. Amen.

🕎 Yiddish Word of the DayMalkhes (מלוכה) - Kingdom
This week's Yiddish word is malkhes — kingdom. Now if that word sounds familiar, it should, because it's borrowed straight from Hebrew. In Yiddish, malkhes carries the idea of a reign, a realm, a dominion — not just a place, but a rule. And when Jesus taught His disciples to pray "Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen" — that word kingdom is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Put it together with Revelation 19 and the picture gets breathtaking. The King rides in, every nation bows, and what was prayed for centuries becomes reality. Malkhes — His kingdom. Forever. Amen.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesChris and Steve open the episode with a scholarly angle — the Apostle Paul and what it truly means to be a mensch, connecting righteousness to that deeply Jewish concept of being a person of integrity and good character. They celebrate the incredible news out of Jacksonville, Florida, where Church Eleven22 baptized 2,552 people at their annual beach baptism at Hanna Park — up from nearly 2,000 the year before. The guys tie this to what they're calling "Israel's Altar Call," and highlight FOI's upcoming June 25th episode featuring Dr. Tim Sigler on "When Your Jewish Friend Believes," along with the free Israel stickers initiative and the call to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
The theological heart of the episode unpacks the Lord's Prayer — specifically "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Chris and Steve work through the tension between James 1:13 (God does not tempt us to sin) and Matthew 4:1 (Jesus led by the Spirit into the desert to be tested), landing on the idea that testing can reveal what's in our hearts, fortify our will, and make us an example to other believers. On the news front, they cover Israel pushing deeper into Lebanon beyond the ceasefire line in response to Hezbollah drone attacks, the IDF's 78th anniversary, Elizabeth Pipko's honest reflections on fear and antisemitism in America, a Brooklyn co-op boycott vote, and the political fallout surrounding a Democrat who called for Zionists to be imprisoned. The Yiddish Word of the Week: farhern — to examine, quiz, or test.

🕎 Yiddish Word of the DayFarhern (פֿאַרהערן) To examine, quiz, or test someone.
In the old Jewish world, farhern was the word used when a rabbi would quiz his students on their Torah portions — a sacred kind of testing meant to reveal what had truly been learned. It's the perfect word for this week's episode, because as Chris and Steve unpacked from the Lord's Prayer, not all testing is punishment. Sometimes God's farhern is the very thing that reveals the faith already growing inside us.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesSteve stumbled onto a comedian that he's pretty sure everyone else already knows about — Nate Bargatze. The Tennessee native has become one of the biggest names in comedy, doing it all clean, family-friendly, and openly Christian, viewing his career as a calling from God. He's outsold Beyoncé in tickets, hosted Saturday Night Live twice, and has plans to build a Disney World-style theme park called Nateland in Nashville. Chris and Steve will also highlight the upcoming June 25th episode featuring Dr. Tim Sigler on "When Your Jewish Friend Believes" and the free Israel stickers initiative at freeisraelstickers.com.
The heart of the episode turns to a fascinating biblical connection — the phrase "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" from the Lord's Prayer is directly tied to the concept of the Year of Jubilee, Israel's great reset of debts, freedom, and restoration. Chris and Steve will unpack what that means for how we read Jesus's prayer through a deeply Jewish lens. On the news front, they'll wade into a four-day Pride festival planned at the Dead Sea — near the believed site of Sodom, at the lowest place on earth — and respond to Tucker Carlson's use of the event to question support for Israel. The guys agree with Tucker that the festival is nothing to celebrate, but disagree that it's a reason to abandon support for a Jewish state for the Jewish people, with Paul's words in Romans 10–11 as their guide. They'll close out with the Yiddish Word of the Week: schloch.

- Reyn (ריין) — the adjective for "clean" or "pure"
- Reynikn (רייניקן) or Putsn (פּוצן) — the verbs meaning "to clean"

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesThis week, Chris and Steve open with a laugh — Steve's attempt at Jewish meditation is going about as well as you'd expect, and a joke about letting others finish their sentences sets the tone for a lively episode.
Then we turn to a sobering story about religious freedom. A 78-year-old retired pastor in Northern Ireland was convicted and fined for preaching John 3:16 near a hospital in a so-called "restricted area." It's a reminder that the freedom to share the gospel is increasingly under pressure in the Western world.
From there, Chris and Steve talk about FOI's free Israel sticker giveaway at freeisraelstickers.com — stickers designed not to start riots, but conversations. They also highlight upcoming FOI Equip classes, including Pastor Tommy Nelson on Daniel's 70th Week and Dr. Tim Sigler on what to do when your Jewish friend believes in Jesus.
The guys then open up the Lord's Prayer, exploring what Jesus really meant when He taught us to ask for our daily bread — and why that request is far bigger than what's on the dinner table.
In the news, Chris and Steve discuss Joel Rosenberg's report on the fraying Iran ceasefire, with President Trump growing impatient and the blockade costing Iran hundreds of millions of dollars a day. They also cover the stunning story of an IDF combat soldier jailed for wearing a "Messiah" patch on his uniform — a story that has parents, rabbis, and Knesset members shaking their heads.

Some passages of Scripture feel intimidating, and Daniel 9 is often one of them. In this May class, Pastor Tommy Nelson shows that the Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks is not only understandable, but deeply meaningful. You’ll see how this remarkable prophecy points directly to Jesus Christ and even reveals the timing of His death on the cross. Come study God’s Word with us and gain confidence in understanding even the more challenging parts of Scripture.

🕎 Yiddish Word of the Day Today's word is broyt* — the Yiddish word for bread. * And what better week to learn it, as we've been reflecting on what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray, "Give us this day our daily broyt." The Jewish roots of that prayer run deeper than most of us realize, and knowing even a single word of the mama loshn — the "mother tongue" of the Jewish people — brings us a little closer to the world Jesus lived in.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode NotesThis week, Chris and Steve open with a fascinating look at the science of natural rejuvenation — the mysterious cellular process by which embryos reverse the biological markers of age inherited at conception, returning to a kind of ground zero of youth within the first two weeks of life. It's a wonder written into creation itself.
Then we dive into the kingdom of God. Is the kingdom Jesus proclaimed a present spiritual reality, a future earthly reign, or both? We'll explore how the phrase appears throughout Matthew, what Jesus meant when He taught His disciples to pray "Your kingdom come," and why a dispensational understanding of the kingdom matters for how we read Scripture and anticipate what God is still doing in human history.
In the news, Chris and Steve discuss the latest developments surrounding U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations and what a potential framework deal could mean for Israel, a nation that lives every day under the shadow of Iran's proxies. We'll also look at anti-Zionist protests outside Park East Synagogue in Manhattan, a student vote to defund a campus Hillel chapter, and the remarkable story of Israel — a country the size of New Jersey — stepping in to supply jet fuel to Germany, one of Europe's most powerful nations.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes🇮🇷 Iran & Terrorism Against AmericansA recent White House article outlines decades of Iranian regime terrorism targeting Americans, beginning after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/03/the-iranian-regimes-decades-of-terrorism-against-american-citizens/
📖 Teaching Segment: Minutia in Genesis
📜 Biblical Reflection — Genesis 1:1“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
- Scripture assumes God’s existence
-
Echoed in:
- 📖 John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word
- 📖 Mark 1:1 – Beginning of the gospel
🏛️ Faith & Western CivilizationDennis Prager – If There Is No God…
Key argument:
Without God → Who defines good and evil?
Observations:
- ⚔️ The 20th century (most secular) was also the bloodiest
- ~150 million civilians killed under Nazism & Communism
Margaret Thatcher:
“The moral foundation of this system is the Judeo-Christian outlook… each person matters.”
Concern:
Shift from values (“I must”) → feelings (“I want”)
Key question:
❓ Is Western civilization weakening because Genesis 1:1 is being forgotten?

Teacher: Dr. Dan Wallace
📆 March 12
What it’s about:
You’ve probably heard the objections: “We don’t have the originals,” “The manuscripts contradict each other,” or “The New Testament has been changed so many times.” Dr. Wallace has spent decades studying these claims, and in this class he walks us through what the evidence actually shows. If you’ve ever had doubts—or simply want clarity and confidence in the reliability of the New Testament—this class is for you.

📖 Teaching Segment: Minutia in Genesis
Led Zeppelin, “Stairway to Heaven,” and Genesis 28* Reference the song “Stairway to Heaven” sung by Robert Plant * Connect it creatively to Jacob’s ladder in Genesis 28:10–22
Jacob’s Story (Genesis 28)* Traveling to find a wife; stops in the middle of nowhere * Uses a stone for a pillow * Dreams of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven * Angels ascending and descending * The LORD at the top, reaffirming the Abrahamic promise
Jacob’s Response* “The Lord is in this place, and I didn’t know it.” * Calls it the gate of heaven * Declares the place awesome in the true sense * Turns the pillow-stone into a pillar * Anoints it * Names it Bethel (“House of God”) * Makes a conditional vow:
+ If God is with me
+ If God keeps me
+ If God provides bread
+ If God returns me in peace
→ Then the LORD will be *my* God
New Testament Bridge — John 1* Jesus says of Nathanael: “An Israelite in whom there is no Jacob (no deceit).” * John 1:51: “You will see heaven opened and angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Point:
In Genesis, the angels move on a ladder.
In John, the angels move on Jesus.
Jesus is the ladder—He is the connection between heaven and earth.
Babel vs Bethel* Babel: man tries to climb to heaven * Bethel: God opens heaven down to man
Moments When Heaven Opens in Scripture* John 1:51 – Angels ascending/descending on the Son of Man * Jesus’ baptism: Matthew 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:21 * Acts 7:55–56 – Stephen sees Jesus standing at God’s right hand * Revelation 4:1 – A door opens in heaven * Revelation 19:11 – Heaven opens, white horse revealed * Ezekiel 1:1 – Heavens opened, visions of God

📖 Teaching Segment — Minutia in Genesis: Abraham’s Holy Chutzpah (Genesis 18)Theme: Abraham displayed “holy chutzpah” by interceding for Sodom and Gomorrah.
What happens in Genesis 18?* God reveals His plan to judge the cities * Abraham steps in as intercessor — priest-like, friend-like * He negotiates with God (50 → 45 → 40 → 30 → 20 → 10) * God agrees each time * Tragically, fewer than 10 righteous people were found
Why this matters:* God is approachable * He delights in justice * Abraham models intercessory prayer * He stands between judgment and mercy * A foreshadowing of the priestly role fulfilled perfectly in Messiah

🏈 Super Bowl Reflections📺 Commercials — Bigger, Louder, Flashier* Massive productions. * Bigger budgets. * Louder messages. * Flashier storytelling.
Question:
Is more actually better?

Whether you’re preparing for a Seder, teaching a Bible study, or just wanting to go deeper — this is a powerful resource.
Because when you see Messiah in Passover, you realize something profound:
God’s plan of redemption wasn’t improvised.
It was woven into the story from the beginning.
📖 Minutia in Genesis“An Enoch Life in a Lamech Generation”(Dr. Will Varner)
Is it possible?
In Genesis 5, there’s a repeated drumbeat:
“And he died… and he died… and he died…”
Then Enoch breaks the pattern.
📖 Genesis 5:21–24 (NIV)
Enoch walked faithfully with God… and he was not, because God took him.
📖 Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was taken from this life… he pleased God.
🚶 What Does It Mean to Walk with God?Is it a walk?
Is it a talk?
Walking with God means:
- To agree with God (Amos 3:3)
- To please God (Heb. 11:5)
- To trust God (2 Cor. 5:7)
- To walk humbly (Mic. 6:8)
Enoch lived in a dark, pre-flood world.
God was grieved over human wickedness.
Judgment was coming.
In many ways, Enoch was a last-days believer before the Flood.
- He walked in close fellowship with God.
- His life testified against a corrupt generation.
- Jude 14–15 says he even prophesied judgment.
Question:
Can we live an Enoch life in a Lamech generation?

- Angelic view — sons of God as angels who left their domain
- Sethite view — godly line of Seth vs. ungodly Cain line
- Ancient rulers view — powerful humans interpreted as “sons of God”
From David Levy’s summary of the angelic interpretation:
- The union produced nephilim (fallen ones), warriors, and men of renown.
- “Sons of God” in Jewish Scripture appears referring to angels.
- Context points to why God brought the flood.
- Angels appeared physically (Abraham’s visitors).
- Jewish authors and early church leaders held this view.

📖 From the Scriptures — Genesis Minutiae: PolygamyGod’s design:
- Adam + Eve → “The two shall become one flesh” (Gen 2:24)
Historical reality:
- Lamech — first polygamist (Gen 4:19)
- Abraham — Sarah + Hagar (Gen 16, 21)
- Jacob — Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, Bilhah (Gen 29–30)
- Esau — multiple wives (Gen 26:34; 28:9; 36:2–3)
- David — at least 8 wives
- Solomon — 700 wives + 300 concubines (1 Kgs 11:3)
Key point:
👉 Polygamy in the Bible is descriptive, not prescriptive.
God actually condemns it:
- Deut 17:17 — Kings must not multiply wives “or else their heart will turn away.”
Consequences in Scripture:
- Reuben sleeps with Bilhah (Gen 35:22)
- Amnon assaults Tamar → Absalom kills him (2 Sam 13)
- Absalom sleeps with David’s concubines (2 Sam 16:22)
- Solomon’s wives turn his heart (1 Kgs 11:3)
Definitions:
- Polygamy: multiple spouses
- Polyandry: one woman, many husbands
- Polyamory: multiple consensual partners (not marriage)

You Can Trust the New Testament!
Teacher: Dr. Dan Wallace
📆 March 12
What it’s about:
You’ve probably heard the objections: “We don’t have the originals,” “The manuscripts contradict each other,” or “The New Testament has been changed so many times.” Dr. Wallace has spent decades studying these claims, and in this class he walks us through what the evidence actually shows.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes🍦 Ice Cream, Health, and a Surprising TakeWe kick things off with a fun (and unexpected) cultural moment featuring Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel.
In a recent clip, Dr. Emanuel makes waves by saying… ice cream might actually be good for you.
👉 Watch the clip:
https://youtu.be/sXliJxlRtlM
It’s a lighthearted reminder that sometimes common assumptions—about food, faith, or Israel—deserve a second look.
🚀 Faith Among the Stars: Christian AstronautsFrom ice cream to outer space—we talk about Christians who’ve literally taken their faith beyond earth.
- Butch Wilmore – SpaceX astronaut
- Jeffrey Williams – Completed 4 spacewalks
- Charlie Duke – Astronaut from Apollo 16, now in his 90s
Their testimonies remind us that faith isn’t limited by altitude or orbit.

This is a reminder that regimes often fall apart long before they fall down.
📜 Minutia of Genesis: The Mystery of MelchizedekWe dive into one of Scripture’s most fascinating figures—Melchizedek, the priest-king who appears briefly but powerfully.
Key Highlights:
- Name means “King of Righteousness”
- King of Salem (Jerusalem)
- Priest of El Elyon (God Most High)
- Meets Abram after the defeat of Chedorlaomer (Genesis 14)
- Blesses Abram; Abram gives him a tithe
- Serves bread and wine
- Described in Hebrews 7 as “without father or mother…without genealogy”
- Presented as a type of Christ, pointing forward to Jesus’ eternal priesthood
“The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind,
‘You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.’”
(Psalm 110:4)
Some argue Melchizedek was simply a historical priest-king; others see him as one of the clearest foreshadows of Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast NotesThe One Thankful Leper — Luke 17:11–19The StoryJesus is traveling toward Jerusalem when ten lepers—physically suffering, socially exiled, spiritually cut off—stand at a distance and cry out:
“Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
Jesus responds with compassion.
He tells them:
“Go, show yourselves to the priests.”
As they obey, all ten are healed on the way.
But only one comes back.
A Samaritan — the outsider, the one least expected — returns to Jesus, falls at His feet, praises God with a loud voice, and gives thanks.
Jesus asks the piercing question:
“Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?”
And to the one thankful man:
“Your faith has made you well.”
Reflection — Where Are the Nine?God pours out blessings every single day.
But:
- Do we notice them?
- Do we acknowledge them?
- Do we expect them?
- Do we assume we’re owed them?
- Do we ignore the Giver because we’re excited to use the gift?
Were the nine bad people?
Probably not.
Were they thrilled to be healed?
Absolutely.
But their focus was immediately on getting back to normal life.
The Samaritan, though—
He paused.
He returned.
He moved toward God, not just toward blessing.
Thanksgiving ApplicationThanksgiving is full of:
- Family
- Friends
- Fellowship
- Football
- Food
- Fun
But how many people pause to remember the One who gives all of it?
How many actually return to the Source of blessing?
Jesus notices gratitude.
He also notices when gratitude is missing.
Yiddish Word of the Day“grateful” — dankbar (דאַנקבאַר)
Expressions:
- a dank — thanks
- a sheynem dank — thank you very much
- a greisen dank — a big thank you
A perfect tie-in to the thankful Samaritan.

🙏 Prayer for the Modern State of Israel“Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first manifestation of the approach of our redemption. Shield it with Your lovingkindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory. Ordain peace in the land and grant its inhabitants eternal happiness. Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name, as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: ‘Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers.’ Draw our hearts together to revere and venerate Your name and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah, and send us quickly the Messiah son of David, agent of Your vindication, to redeem those who await Your deliverance. Manifest yourself in the splendor of Your boldness before the eyes of all inhabitants of Your world, and may everyone endowed with a soul affirm that the Lord, God of Israel, is king and his dominion is absolute. Amen forevermore.”
The modern State of Israel is often called “the first blossoming of our redemption.”

🎙 Jew and Gentile Podcast — “The Darker the Night, the More Glorious the Sunrise”Key Verse“I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
— Matthew 16:18
🕯 Opening ThoughtThe darker the world becomes, the brighter the light of God’s truth shines.
Even in chaos, Jesus’ words in Matthew 16:18 remind us that the Church will endure and triumph. Like dawn breaking after the longest night, God’s redemptive plan cannot be stopped.
💬 Current Events & Commentary1. Israel and Gaza: The Division StrategyIsrael is dividing Gaza into two zones — a fascinating strategic play.
The section under Israeli control will likely see rapid development with international backing.
The Hamas-controlled areas will struggle to access construction materials.
At some point, Gazans will have to decide: build a normal life or stay under Hamas rule.

Michelle Bachmann at Family Research CouncilMichelle Bachmann said, “Gaza is God’s land,” warning America to stay spiritually alert.

🎙️ Jew and Gentile PodcastEpisode Title: God’s Word: A Lamp in a Dark World Hosts: Chris Katulka & Steve Herzig
Date: Week of October 16, 2025
🕯️ Opening ThoughtsChris:
All living Israeli hostages are home, but many of the deceased still haven’t been returned by Hamas — and that should weigh on all of us. Israel continues to live with the reality of evil nearby and moral confusion worldwide. Even Hitler knew when the war was over — but Hamas, even surrounded, can’t release its grip on Gaza. The world is watching, and Israel still stands.
✡️ Tikvah Team SpotlightOne of our Tikvah volunteers, a public school teacher in New Jersey, is courageously raising awareness about the NJEA magazine editor’s pro-Palestinian activism. Her work has drawn serious attention—Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) has even called for the editor’s removal after antisemitic, violent posts came to light.

Chris:
This is what courage looks like—standing for truth where God has placed you.
💬 Sticker StoryChris: “My niece sells antiques online and got an order from Haifa, Israel. She slipped a few FOI ‘I Stand With Israel’ stickers in the box. That’s making the most of every opportunity.”
Colossians 4:5 — “Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.”
🕎 Psalm 119 Reflection – NUN (vv.105–112)Theme: God’s Word Guides, Guards, and Grounds Us
Guides (105–106):
- Provides direction — “Your word is a lamp to my feet.”
- Demands obedience — “I have sworn and confirmed…”
Guards (107–110):
- Revives the afflicted
- Directs us to pray
- Keeps us from straying
Grounds (111–112):
- Our heritage forever (Deut. 33:4)
- Produces rejoicing
- Leads to heartfelt obedience
🔰 Psalm 119 – SAMEK (vv.113–120)Theme: Faith in the Midst of Enemies
- Rejection of Evil (113–115): Hate double-mindedness, love God’s law.
- Reliance on the Word (116–119): Find refuge and hope in God’s promises.
- Request for Mercy (120): Tremble before God’s judgments; depend on His compassion.
Takeaway: People of faith will face opposition, but God’s Word gives direction, strength, and courage.

💬 Yiddish Phrase of the Day“A glick hot dich getrofen!” – literally “A piece of luck hit you!” but used sarcastically: “Big deal!”
Steve:
Perfect for when someone says, “I found the deal of the century,” and you reply—“A glick hot dich getrofen!”
📚 Closing ThoughtsIn a world filled with confusion, propaganda, and fear, the believer’s compass remains steady:
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105
Equip yourself with Scripture.
Stand with Israel.
Shine the Light.

🕍 FOI Equip HighlightGospel Golf Balls – creative outreach in motion ⛳️
🎵 Music Break“The More I See You” — written by Harry Warren (1945), sung by legends like Nat King Cole, Nancy Sinatra, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, and Michael Bublé.
“The more I see You, the more I want You…”
Just like our relationship with God — the more we read His Word, the more we know Him, love Him, and desire to walk with Him.
📖 Teaching Segment — Psalm 119:97–104 (Mem)“Oh, how I love Your law!”
A personal confession, a present-tense testimony.
Throughout each day, the psalmist intentionally applies God’s Word to his life.
Key truths from the passage:
- Wiser than your enemies (v.98)
- Wiser than your teachers (v.99)
- Wiser than your elders (v.100)
God’s Word keeps you:
- Off the wrong path (v.101)
- On the right path (v.102)
- Filled with joy and sweetness (v.103)
“How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
“Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.” (v.104)

🎙️ Jew and Gentile Podcast NotesOpening Scripture* Romans 12:17–18
+ “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”
-
If someone says they have no enemies—be careful.
- If you stand for Christ, you will have enemies.
- FOI has enemies. Equip has enemies. We’ve encountered them—they comment on our feeds.

Response:
-
Romans 12:21 — “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Review from Last Week* The goodness of God – Psalm 119:65–72 (Teth). * “God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.”
Wrestling with God’s Goodness For centuries, people have asked: If God is good, why do bad things happen?* * Cleveland Plain Dealer (Terry Pluto’s faith column):
+ Jewish survivor’s child: “I cannot believe in God. Four grandparents murdered in the Holocaust. Where was God?”
+ Another writer: “God takes everything good away—my loved one, my mother’s health, my stepfather’s mind.”
-
Harold Kushner – When Bad Things Happen to Good People
- Son Aaron with progeria (rare aging disease, 14-year life expectancy).
-
Theodicy
-
From theos (God) + dike (justice).
- How do we reconcile a good, powerful God with the reality of suffering?
- Jesus: “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.” (Mark 10:18)
Psalm 119:73–80 (Yod)* v73 “Your hands made me” → asking for discernment to learn His commandments. * v74 The fear of the Lord brings gladness. * Fear of the Lord Scriptures:
+ Prov 9:10 – beginning of wisdom.
+ Eccl 12:13 – whole duty of man.
+ Ps 111:10 – understanding comes from practicing fear of the Lord.
+ Prov 14:27 – fountain of life.
+ Mal 3:16 – book of remembrance for those who fear Him.
+ 2 Cor 7:1 – holiness completed in the fear of God.
- True “fear” = reverence, awe, standing in wonder before Him.
- v75 Affliction comes from God’s faithfulness—discipline, growth, deeper walk.
- v76–77 Mercy as comfort (“raham” = womb-like compassion).
-
Supporting verses:
- Ps 117:2 – merciful kindness.
- Eph 2:4–5 – God rich in mercy.
- Ex 34:6 – merciful and gracious.

Recently, Tiauna joined a Jewish group traveling through Italy to explore the rich history of Jewish life and heritage there. * What started as an educational journey—designed to help combat antisemitism on college campuses—quickly became something far deeper. For Tiauna, Italy was ministry around every corner: conversations with Jewish friends, moments of encouragement, and countless opportunities to live out her faith and show the love of the Messiah. * Join us as Tiauna shares stories from her time in Italy, the challenges of standing with Jewish people today, and how God is using her in Canada and beyond to build bridges of hope and truth. * If you would like to pray for or support Tiauna’s ministry, visit: foi.org/lodewyk.

🎙️ Episode 208 – A Hymn Rooted in Rabbinic History, Chicago Cops, ORIGINS and Israeli Rockets, and Kina HoraHosts: Chris Katulka & Steve Herzig
Location: On-location at Conference Point Camp, Wisconsin
This week’s Jew and Gentile Podcast is a jam-packed, heartwarming, and powerful mix of laughter, testimonies, faith, and frontline ministry. Chris and Steve take us into the heart of Friends of Israel and Conference Point Camp where stories of bravery, Jewish-Christian unity, and old-school fun collide.
📚 Upcoming FOI Equip Class – Isaiah 53: Could This Be Jesus?
Taught by Dr. Will Varner | September 11 & 18
🔗 https://foiequip.org
👮♀️ Faith Behind the BadgeA Chicago police officer (whose name is withheld for safety) shares her experience as a believer in law enforcement. From dangerous neighborhoods to Faith Fridays—weekly prayer walks with clergy across crime-ridden areas of Chicago—her story reveals hope and gospel light shining in unexpected places.
“There are more Christians in the force than you’d expect—and the community wants us there.”
🕎 From DNA to Hanukkah: A Young Boy’s Love for Israel13-year-old David Nelson discovered his Jewish heritage and fell in love with Israel. He shares how receiving a Hanukkah Box from The Friends of Israel sparked meaningful connections and some amazing Israeli cooking.
“I used the olive oil and Za’atar mix to make Israeli toast!”
🎲 Mahjong, Memory, and Jewish HeritageSteve’s daughter Shayna explains how a once-forgotten game—Mahjong—is making a comeback in Jewish and non-Jewish communities alike. She also highlights a powerful Billy Joel documentary that connects the pop icon to his Holocaust-survivor roots and explains why it should be required viewing for Christians today.
📖 A Hymn Rooted in Rabbinic HistoryDr. Mike (Shayna’s husband and NT scholar) draws surprising connections between the classic hymn The Love of God and rabbinic sayings going back to the first century. This mini-lesson in Jewish-Christian literary overlap will change how you hear that familiar verse.
🇮🇱 Missiles Overhead, Faith Undeterred: Micah’s ORIGINS StoryFOI graphic designer Micah recounts his recent experience on the ORIGINS Israel trip, where participants served Israeli communities during what’s now called the 12-Day War. As ballistic missiles from Iran rained overhead, Micah and others took shelter—but also stepped out in service and prayer.
“God gave me peace I didn’t understand. I’d go back again in a heartbeat.” -Micah Husk

🗣️ Yiddish Word of the Day: Kina hora (קײן עין הרע) – a contraction of the Yiddish/Hebrew phrase kayn ayin hara that literally means “no evil eye.” It’s used after mentioning something good to ward off envy or bad luck—much like knocking on wood. Keeping this humble, cautious attitude reflects the heart of Psalm 119, which urges us to safeguard our hearts and remain grounded in God’s Word rather than tempting fate.

🎙️ Jew and Gentile Podcast — Episode #206
Title: Ambassador Huckabee, Quiet Cracking, Psalm 119, Remembering Pastor John MacArthur, and Mussar (Episode #206)
📅 This week on the Jew and Gentile Podcast:
Chris and Steve crack up—literally and figuratively—as they talk about the new workplace burnout trend known as “quiet cracking”—that slow, creeping exhaustion that leaves you wondering when your plate will finally shatter. Chris assures us he’s not quietly cracking… because he’s loud and already cracked up! 😆
📰 What’s Quiet Cracking?
It’s the emotional and spiritual fatigue that sneaks up quietly—like burnout in stealth mode. If you’ve been struggling to find joy in your work or just feel spiritually dry, this conversation will resonate with you.
📖 https://nypost.com/2025/07/14/lifestyle/quiet-cracking-is-a-dangerous-workplace-trend-heres-how-to-spot-it/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=message_app
🕊️ A Tribute to Pastor John MacArthur
We also take time to remember the incredible legacy of Pastor John MacArthur—the “Lion of the Pulpit.” After 56 years of faithful service, he is now with the Lord. Through Grace To You, Master’s Seminary, and his countless books and sermons, his voice shaped a generation of theological conservatives. As Mark Wingfield said:
“There is no single pastor who has been more influential on young theological conservatives in the last 50 years than MacArthur.”
🙏 Pastor MacArthur's life was a powerful example of what it means to equip the saints for the work of ministry—which is exactly why FOI created FOI Equip.
🎁 Sponsor Spotlight: FOI Equip
At FOI Equip, we offer free online classes, mentorship programs, and immersive experiences that deepen your faith and help you engage in meaningful Jewish ministry.
📚 https://foiequip.org
📜 Psalm 119 Spotlight
Chris and Steve dive into Psalm 119—a psalm so rich in truth it’s earned titles like:
- The Garden of Sweet Flowers
- The School of Truth
- The Great Psalm
- A Doxology of Praise for the Word of God
With 176 verses (8 for each Hebrew letter), it’s an acrostic celebration of God’s Word. Psalm 119 emphasizes how Scripture sanctifies, strengthens, and sustains believers through seasons of pressure, persecution, and praise.
Warren Wiersbe said:
“The law is not a weapon in the hands of an angry judge but a tool in the hands of a loving Father…”
✨ Key Takeaway: Seek the Lord with your whole heart (v.2), walk in His ways (v.3), and trust His Word to anchor you—even in a world full of cracks.

📖 Biblical Discussion: How Judaism & Christianity View Original Sin🎥 Watch the VideoCheck out this insightful YouTube explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZExNKmKaRg4
✡️ Judaism’s View1. Original Sin = Cosmic Consequence
Humanity inherited a yetzer hara—an evil inclination introduced at the Fall.
2. The Soul Remains Fundamentally Holy
* Despite the spiritual tension, our inner soul remains sacred; the challenge is overcoming the yetzer hara.
The Struggle Is Within* Jewish theology emphasizes personal responsibility and the ongoing battle between good and evil inclinations within each person.
✝️ Christianity’s View1. Original Sin = Universal Stain * From Adam’s disobedience, sin spread to all humanity (e.g., Romans 5:12).
Broken Relationship with God* This spiritual flaw blocks communion with God—sin must be removed.
Jesus, the Messiah, Is the Remedy* Through Jesus's life, death, and resurrection, believers’ sins are washed away, restoring their relationship with God.
📚 Supporting Bible Verses* Genesis 5:3
"When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth."
‑ Highlights the hereditary nature of humanity’s fallen condition.
* Psalm 51:5
"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me."
‑ Emphasizes our innate sinful state from birth.
* Romans 5:12
"Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned."
‑ Establishes the Christian doctrine: sin for all originates in Adam.
* Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
‑ Confirms universal guilt before God.
* Romans 5:18–19
"One trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, but the free gift of righteousness ... resulted in justification and life for all people."
‑ Contrasts Adam’s sin with Christ’s redemptive act.

🎵 Worship Highlight
"Oh Happy Day" – 900 voices lift up Jesus!
Watch here: https://youtu.be/FtgnwslMZYQ
Lyrics celebrate the cleansing power of Jesus and the joy of salvation.
Originally inspired by an 18th-century hymn by Phillip Doddridge.
🔥🕊️ Main Topic: “To the Jew First” – What Does It Mean?
Paul’s phrase in Romans 1:16 sparks theological discussion:
- Does “first” mean historically or especially?
- We argue Paul meant “especially” – that the gospel is particularly for the Jewish people, not just sequentially to them.
- Romans 2:9–10 confirms: both judgment and blessing come “to the Jew first.”
- Jews aren’t better or worse than Gentiles – we’re all sinners (Romans 3:23).
- Ephesians 2 shows how Gentiles are no longer strangers but brought near by the blood of Christ.
📖 “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” — Ephesians 2:19

🎙️ Episode Title: "What Is a Blessing? And Why It Matters Now More Than Ever"In This Episode of The Jew and Gentile Podcast…
Chris and Steve dive into the rich biblical concept of blessing—what it is, who gets it, where it comes from, and how long it lasts. But first, they cover two critical topics that shouldn’t be missed:
🔥 This Week’s Highlights:📖 1. FOI Equip Class – Finding Messiah in Unexpected PlacesDr. Michael Rydelnik is back! His teaching is leaving us kvelling:
- Last week: David’s Last Words (2 Samuel 23)
- This week: Joel 2
Discover Messiah in places you may have never looked before. This is foundational teaching to help you see Jesus throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.
🗓️ June 5 & 12
🔗 Register at: foiequip.org
🚨 2. Recognizing Dangerous ChantsDon’t be fooled by feel-good slogans. Here’s what protesters are really saying:
- “From the river to the sea” – Erasure of Israel.
- “Resistance by any means” – Justifies Hamas terrorism.
- “Globalize the intifada” – Incites global violence against Israel and supporters.
- “Khaybar Khaybar ya Yahud” – References the 7th-century massacre of Jews.
Words matter. Know what they mean.
✨ Main Topic: The Power and Source of Blessing* Definition of Blessing:
+ English: Something that brings happiness or welfare.
+ Hebrew:
- *Barak* – to praise or kneel.
- *Bracha* – benediction (spoken over meals, people, and moments).
- *Esher* (אשר) – happiness or "blessedness" (Psalm 1).
+ Greek:
- *Makarios* – blessed, fortunate (Matthew 5).
- *Eulogeō* – to bless or speak well of (eulogy).
-
Where Does It Come From?
- God is the source of all blessing (Gen. 1:22, 1:28, 12:1–3).
- God instructs us to bless others (Numbers 6:23–26 – the Priestly Blessing).
-
Who Gets It?
-
All of God’s creation.
- Psalm 146:5 – “Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob…”
-
How Long Does It Last?
-
As long as we respond in worship and trust.
- ✡️ Aleinu prayer reminder – video worth watching!

A freylekhn geburtsdag! – A happy birthday!
A freylekhn geburtsdag tsu ir! – A happy birthday to you!
And the traditional birthday blessing:
Biz hundert un tsvantsik! – Until one hundred and twenty! (May you live a long and meaningful life!)
Or for a bit of poetic charm:
Mit mazel ge yert zikh – Wishing you luck as you gain a year.

Survivor Story: George Rishfeld
GEORGE RISHFELD
APRIL 10
In this April’s FOI Equip class, George Rishfeld will give his survivor story. George Rishfeld (b. 1939) is a child Holocaust survivor who was born in Warsaw, Poland. He was just six months old when World War II began, forcing his family to flee to Vilna, Lithuania. With George’s safety in mind, his parents decided to give him to Catholic friends who promised to raise George as their own. After being reunited with his parents after the war, George and his family emigrated to the United States in 1949. George has dedicated his life to sharing his story, as he believes Holocaust education is invaluable for preventing further atrocities.

FROM THE SCRIPTURES
Jewish objection to Jesus born out of wedlock.
- Deut 23:2 “One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord. Why was he allowed to read scripture (Aliya) at the bema and spend time at the temple?
Other questions about various Old Testament law (Deuteronomy 22:8-12)
- “When you build a new house, then you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring guilt of bloodshed on your household if anyone falls from it.
- “You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled.
- “You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
- “You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, such as wool and linen mixed together.
- “You shall make tassels on the four corners of the clothing with which you cover yourself.

Here We Stand: 19 Key Christian Beliefs
- MIKE STALLARD
JANUARY 9, 16, 23
God tells us to take heed “to doctrine” (1 Tim. 4:13). Doctrine is important. However, sound teaching is often described as boring and out-of-date. Shouldn’t we simply ignore doctrine and just “get along?”
In this three-part class, Dr. Mike Stallard shows us how important sound doctrine is to living the Christian life. He will walk through The Friends of Israel’s core beliefs and show how they are relevant today. Doctrine is neither boring nor out-of-date. Rather, it impacts the way we see the world and treat those around us!

Yiddish Word(s) of the Day
Kaddish Mourners Prayer -Although Jewish law requires that the Kaddish be said when a loved one dies and on the anniversary of their death, there is no reference, no word even, about death in the prayer. The theme of Kaddish is, rather, the greatness of god, who conducts the entire universe, and especially his most favored creature, each individual human being, with careful supervision. In this prayer, we also pray for peace–from apparently the only one who can guarantee it–peace between nations, peace between individuals, and peace of mind.

Yiddish Word(s) of the Day
Yarmulke (properly pronounced YAHR-mul-keh, but often shortened to YAH-mi-koh, YAH-mi-keh, or YAH-mi-kee) is the common Yiddish word for the head covering worn by Jewish males.
But there’s a deeper meaning. According to many, yarmulke is a contraction of the Aramaic words, yarei malka, “awe of the King,” referring to G‑d, King of the Universe. (https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3936884/jewish/What-Does-Yarmulke-Mean.htm)

A Thanksgiving from Leviticus
TEACHER: CHRIS KATULKA
NOVEMBER 16

Thanksgiving is a time to gather around the table with loved ones to show our gratitude and thankfulness to God. It’s more than lots of turkey and stuffing–the day to give thanks has its roots planted deeply in American history when the Mayflower Pilgrims shared a feast with the Native American Wampanoag people in 1621. But was that really the first Thanksgiving meal? Join Chris Katulka as he takes you to the Biblical thanksgiving feast from the book of Leviticus, a thanksgiving meal eaten thousands of years before the Pilgrims stepped foot on Plymouth Rock.

Thanksgiving is a time to gather around the table with loved ones to show our gratitude and thankfulness to God. It’s more than lots of turkey and stuffing–the day to give thanks has its roots planted deeply in American history when the Mayflower Pilgrims shared a feast with the Native American Wampanoag people in 1621. But was that really the first Thanksgiving meal? Join Chris Katulka as he takes you to the Biblical thanksgiving feast from the book of Leviticus, a thanksgiving meal eaten thousands of years before the Pilgrims stepped foot on Plymouth Rock.

The Study of Sabbath
TEACHER: PETER COLÓN
OCTOBER 12, 19

The Sabbath is a weekly day of rest deeply ingrained in Jewish life, urging worshippers to remember the God who created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh. Join Peter Colon as he unpacks the Sabbath celebration, from the food they eat, to the prayers they recite, and the work they refrain from doing. Come and see why the Sabbath is more than just a day off; it's considered a gift from God, a time of joy and spiritual enrichment.

Yiddish Word(s) of the Day
Beshert
Beshert means "inevitable" or "preordained." It can apply to any happening which appears to bear the fingerprints of divine providence, such as bumping into an old friend you were just thinking about.
But it is used most commonly about marriage and shidduchim ("matches"). Singles pray to "meet their beshert," their life partner, the other half of the broken eggshell with whom they will find love and fulfilment.

Yiddish Word of the Day
Simcha
- Joyous Occasion
The concept of simcha is an important one in Jewish philosophy. A popular teaching by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, a 19th-century Chassidic Rabbi, is "Mitzvah Gedolah Le'hiyot Besimcha Tamid," it is a great mitzvah (commandment) to always be in a state of happiness. When a person is happy one is much more capable of serving God and going about one's daily activities than when depressed or upset.
Jews often use simcha in its capacity as a Hebrew and Yiddish noun meaning festive occasion. The term is used for any happy occasion, such as a wedding, Bar Mitzvah or engagement.

Mechayeh
If you walk into an air-conditioned room, or taste iced water on a hot day, you might say Ah, what a mechayeh, meaning literally, something that has brought you back from death to life, and colloquially, something relieving or refreshing.
(One could think that the phrase reflects our penchant for dramatic self-expression, where others might simply say, that was nice.)
Mechayeh derives from the Hebrew, chai, meaning life (as in lchaim). In Yiddish, the word has numerous other uses. Something delicious, delightful or enjoyable is mechayehdik. If its extra delicious, you could say its mechayeh nefashos (reviving souls) or mechayeh nefashosdik.

Oy Vey - Yiddish Word
Oy and vey are two very old Jewish interjections which both mean “woe.” Oy is found many times in the Bible (see Numbers 21:29, I Samuel 4:7 and Isaiah 3:11 for a few examples). Vey is newer than oy; it is oy’s Aramaic equivalent.
Today, oy and vey are often used together. “Oy vey” is the ethnically Jewish way to react when you find out how much your son’s root canal will cost, or when you find out that there is a two-hour wait time for a table at the restaurant where you just arrived.
Sometimes you’ll hear people groan “oy vavoy,” which is Hebrew for “oy vey.”1 Those who prefer Yiddish lamentations will often cry “vey iz mir,” which means “woe is to me.”

Chutzpah - Leo Rosten, Joys of Yiddish: "Gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible 'guts'; presumption plus arrogance such as no other word, and no other language, can do justice to. The classic definition of chutzpa is, of course, this: Chutzpa is that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan." https://jel.jewish-languages.org/words/119

Yarmulke (properly pronounced YAHR-mul-keh, but often shortened to YAH-mi-koh, YAH-mi-keh, or YAH-mi-kee) is the common Yiddish word for the head covering worn by Jewish males.
But there’s a deeper meaning. According to many, yarmulke is a contraction of the Aramaic words, yarei malka, “awe of the King,” referring to G‑d, King of the Universe. (https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3936884/jewish/What-Does-Yarmulke-Mean.htm)

Treyf (sometimes spelled treif or treyfe)
Treyf is a Yiddish word used for something that’s not kosher. The word treyf is derived from the Hebrew word treifah, which appears several times in the Bible and means “flesh torn by beasts.” The Torah prohibits eating flesh torn by beasts, and so the word treifah came to stand in for all forbidden foods. A ham and cheese sandwich? Very treyf. (https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/treyf/)

Bubkus: A Yiddish word which means “nothing”, “worthless”
Bupkis is literally translated as “beans” and is derived from a Slavic word for “goat droppings.”
However just to make things confusing, it’s not used as a reference to something edible (beans), or something inedible (goat droppings), but as something worthless (a bean isn’t worth much, and goat droppings even less).

Mensch: The word “Mensch”, in Yiddish, is “someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character.
“Leo Rosten, author of the lexicon "The Joys of Yiddish", says a "mensch" is a term that Jews grew up on in their childhood. The Jewish mother frequently told her child "Be A Mensch" . To "Be a Mensch" is the greatest praise and to say to someone that he is not a "Mensch" is the biggest put down.
Being a "mensch" is not at all related to success, wealth or social status. A judge can be a slob, a millionaire can be detestable, a professor can be sleazy and a Doctor can be unscrupulous.
A Mensch is many things and one simple thing. A mensch does what is right because it is right towards family, towards strangers, at home and in public. When people behave with honesty, integrity, consideration and respect they themselves prosper as does society at large. By spreading mensch-like behavior we can make our society happier, healthier and more successful. (https://beamensch.com/what-is-a-mensch/in-our-words/)

Kvell: to feel or express joy or triumph
“There is a fine art to kvelling. Kvelling is not boasting or bragging; it’s quieter. It’s the pride you feel when you witness your older child patiently helping the younger one finish a puzzle. It’s also the satisfaction you feel because it means they might have been listening to you after all.
True kvelling is not calculated; it happens in the moment, like when your kid rounds home plate and his teammates give him a high-five, or when your husband is called up to the stage for an award. Kvelling wells up until you burst with joy and pride. You just can’t help it.”

Exodus 40:34-38: “Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels."
