Eve interviews Lt. Colonel (reserves) Eyal Dror who retires this week from 24 years service in the IDF. He commanded the campaign to bring Syrian refugees from their civil war torn country into Israel thru the Golan Heights to receive medical care and shares details of that very complicated operation. The impact of this humanitarian aid will probably never be fully known or appreciated, but the Jews, Druse, Muslims and Christians who were involved will never forget it. “Abu Yakub” was what the Syrian children called him, and this very proud Israeli has fulfilled -and then some- the Talmudic adage- “he who saves a single life has saved an entire world.” Will this bring everlasting peace and harmony to the Middle East? No. But it’s a beautiful attempt and just gives us a glimpse of what Israel does without credit or thanks. Tikkun Olam for real.

The murder of Dvir Sorek. The Expulsion from Gush Katif. Singing in the Temple. The birth of a new granddaughter in Jerusalem. Eve shares her thoughts on the 10th of Av, 5779.

Can one understand American political tradition without knowing its relationship to the Hebrew Bible? According to Rabbi Dr. Stuart Halpern of Yeshiva University- no. He is one of 4 co-authors of ‘Proclaim Liberty throughout the Land’, a newly published sourcebook on the Hebraic worldview that inspired the early settlers with its vision of redemption, exodus, covenant, liberty and the combination of righteousness and freedom. He speaks with Eve on the shared heritage of the diverse First Continental Congress, one rooted in our text and the sacredness of human life. Get ready – you can even practice your Hebrew.

Eve talks about her week guiding and studying at some of the most interesting Biblical Tels in Israel. Shomron/Sebastiya has been almost completely abandoned by the government- why? Lachish is in the process of being organized as a national park. Deep dive into Kings 2, Joshua, and assorted prophets. Oh- has Ziklag been found? The Land of Israel is the place where civilizations and religions converged. So much to discover, so much yet to learn. Pardon her enthusiasm; it gets no better than this.

Adrienne Gold Davis dresses beautifully, but her personality outshines her shoes. Former Canadian television fashion show host turned Jewish educator and inspirational speaker, Adrienne is one of the bright stars of Momentum (formerly JWRP). She speaks with Eve, who guides the 200 women during the week that they’re touring the Land, teaming with an extraordinary organization to connect Jewish Moms with their heritage and identity. Adrienne bares her soul in this very frank and introspective talk about a journey from a world focused on materialism to one spirituality based and the people standing at the forks in the road who made all the difference.

Eve and former Governor Mike Huckabee cover many topics after an afternoon visit to the Arugot Farm, where he riffed with Jeremy Gimpel and Israel mega supporter Simon Falic. His love for Israel and America shapes his days, his clergy period prepared him for public life and there may be another Huckabee rising on the political horizon.

Eve speaks with Dr. Lisa Fredman, who just published a Hebrew book on medieval commentator Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi)’s manuscripts on Mishlei-Proverbs. She combined her interest in the history of the Middle Ages with her love of Tanach which led her to unique research on one of the lesser known books of the Bible. Did the context of the concurrent Crusades affect the great Rashi’s insights? How did he see his role as a leader of the Jewish people in a heavily Christian world? Is ‘Proverbs’ relevant today? With all that has been done in Bible study, there is still room for original research with modern tools.

Eve spent two days at the Shurat Hadin Law and War Conference hearing fascinating discussions on the subject from many different perspectives. She interviewed international law specialists Professor Avi Bell on morality in warfare and Anne Hertzberg of NGO Monitor on BDS and anti-Semitism. Can you fight morally? Does the world hold Israel to a double standard? What does religion say on the topic? If you’re in Israel on July 7th join Eve on a tour to the Shomron- www.oneisraelfund.org for details.

Eve joins archaeologist Dr. Scott Stripling for their annual walk and talk about new finds at Tel Shilo, site of the Mishkan/Tabernacle for the period of Judges well over 3000 years ago. The bones and stones tell a story, the walls and fill reveal their secrets and the Bible comes to life in this historical area of renewed Jewish settlement in the heart of Samaria. The arena of ideas is just as critical as the dig itself, and the cooperation and professionalism of all involved make this one of the most exciting sites in the country.

Leen Ritmeyer’s extraordinary journey from Holland to the Temple Mount- and beyond -has defined his life and contributed immensely to ours. He speaks with Eve about the field of Biblical Architecture; how the study of ancient structures in the Land of Israel and Near East enhances our comprehension of history, archeology, the Bible and mankind’s connection to God. He has made an indelible mark in particular on our understanding of Temple Mount transformations thru the millennia and continues to interpret and redefine discoveries both recent and past. This Dutchman is still flying. Listen and learn.
