On September 23, Neria Leiter became the latest victim of Palestinian Arab terror in Israel when he was run down by a terrorist. He remains in critical condition and needs our urgent prayers. Unfortunately Neria is only the latest victim in a terror culture and war that pervades and threatens Israelis daily. We know about Neria Leiter as compared to the hundreds of other terror victims because his father is the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter. Unfortunately also, this is not the Leiters’ first experience of war and terror. In 2023, their son/brother Moshe was killed in combat. Please listen, join in prayer, lift up Neria and all the Leiters, and share this widely for others to do the same.

Israel’s October 27 national election is right around the corner, but in Israeli political life it’s still an eternity. How are Israeli voters evaluating who to vote for? What’s the most influential factor: the parties, their platforms, or the personalities behind them? How are votes calculated not only about which party to vote for, but who each party may or may not consider forming a coalition with? Three years after the most devastating attack on Israel how do issues of security and international diplomacy impact the vote? These and many other topics are on the minds of most Israelis, and are the topics of this next part in this series.

For nearly a century, the Moslem Brotherhood has had an agenda to infiltrate and conquer communities and countries around the world. Moslem Brotherhood ideology has become state theology in some Arab and Islamic countries including US allies. Western countries built on Biblical values are in their crosshairs. Their influence has been widely documented and exposed in media, academia, politics, and more. Today, on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attack in the United States, in the wake of the election of Islamists to public office in New York, for Congress and Senate, and in state elections, the upcoming US midterm election stands to be the most critical in terms of elevating Islamists into positions of influence, Islamic foreign electoral interference, the threat that is derived from these from outside actors like Qatar and Turkey, and from imported and home grown violent Islamist extremists (HVEs) within the United States.

Forgiveness is a unique concept in Judaism and Christianity, yet Jews and Christians approach forgiveness differently. Both offer profound teachings on mercy, repentance, and reconciliation—rooted in Torah, the Prophets, the Gospels, and centuries of interpretation. How do Jewish concepts like teshuvah and divine pardon relate to Christian ideas of grace and atonement? How do we approach forgiveness from our respective traditions on an individual basis, and in relation to God? Where do the traditions converge, and where do they diverge in theology and in practice? As we enter the High Holiday season, a cornerstone of which is about forgiveness, whether you bring personal insight, scholarly interest, or quiet curiosity, please a thoughtful conversation exploring Jewish and Christian perspectives on forgiveness.

Unfinished Business is more than a program to bring black Christian leaders for a groundbreaking trip to Israel, it is a continuation of the work and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who planned to bring 5000 black leaders on a pilgrimage to Israel in 1967. The trip never happened because Dr. King was assassinated, but today that remarkable consequential idea is being revived by Dr. Michael Stevens and Pastor Dumisani Washington. If you try to imagine what would have been had Dr. King brought his group as planned, today you can see that vision realized nearly six decades later. Join the conversation about why, why now, and why it’s so important. Get information about The Council and the Unfinished Business trip at www.BCLCIR.org.

Michael Freund is a rabbi with an Ivy League education, and leader of important social initiatives. His broad world view provides a broad-based discussion on Israel’s ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) draft exemption, a growing source of societal tension throughout Israel. It’s centrality today originates after the Holocaust, but has ballooned into tens of thousands of deferments while others bear the heavy burden of military service. What are the causes, and ways to repair the division, to have greater Haredi integration, warning against politicizing Torah study and urging a balanced approach that honors both spiritual learning and national defense.

Twenty-five years after the Sbarro pizzeria bombing killed 16 people, including seven children, the family of 15-year-old American victim Malki Roth is still fighting for justice. Mastermind Ahlam Tamimi, released from Israeli prison in the 2011 Shalit deal, now lives freely in Jordan as a celebrity TV presenter despite being America's most wanted female fugitive with a $5 million bounty. Jordan continues shielding her in breach of its extradition treaty with the United States. Malki's father Arnold Roth, founder of the charity Keren Malki, joins us to discuss his two-decade pursuit of justice and what it will take to finally achieve it.

Israel is approaching one of its most consequential elections ever. It’s the first national election since the Hamas attack and massacre of October 7, 2023, and the war that followed, and is still taking place. It’s coming in the wake of global and domestic events that will impact the vote, one of the most significant being the latest US deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. How do Israelis look at these issues? What are the parties and who are the personalities that they are evaluating in the lead up to the vote? How will recent polls showing a shift influence the vote of others who are undecided? How does faith play a role in the election and its outcome. Join this second part in a monthly series with six undecided voters to understand what they are thinking and why, and why it matters.

A formal legal demand letter had been sent to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) over its upcoming “Nakba” exhibit, “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present.” There are broad concerns that the exhibit promotes a one-sided, historically inaccurate Palestinian Arab narrative that delegitimizes Israel, erases Jewish history, and risks inciting antisemitism. Even incitement to violence with slogans by some of its proponents to eliminate the Zionist disease. It calls on the museum to pause the exhibit, ensure balance, and comply with its mandate as a publicly funded human rights institution. Don James is CEO of Bridges for Peace Canada, in Winnipeg – the epicenter of this threat – and explains what happened and what needs to happen.

"For Zion's Sake: A Catholic Appeal in Support of Israel" is a passionate declaration by faithful Catholics countering the rising anti-Israel sentiment within Catholic circles, especially since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. It rejects both political delegitimization of Israel (accusations of apartheid, colonialism, and genocide) and theological supersessionism that denies the Jewish people’s ongoing covenant and connection to the Land. Drawing on Scripture, Nostra Aetate, and post-conciliar teaching, it affirms God’s irrevocable promises to Israel, supports the legitimacy of the Jewish State, and calls Catholics to reject anti-Zionism as a form of antisemitism while upholding moral standards and concern for Palestinian suffering. It urges active solidarity with Israel as integral to authentic Catholic faith. Hear why this is important and indeed revolutionary.

Nearly 100 years after its founding, the Moslem Brotherhood remains one of the most dangerous Islamist organizations in the world. In 2025, the White House banned several Brotherhood-affiliated organizations, joining countries across the Middle East in doing so. Yet the Brotherhood's reach continues to grow. Hamas, its Palestinian arm, carried out the October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel and operates under the protection of Qatar and Turkey, two Brotherhood-aligned states notably absent from the US ban. Join us to examine how the Brotherhood evolved, how deeply it has penetrated governments and institutions across the Middle East and the West, and what must be done to confront it.

This year’s elections in Israel are lining up to be among the most consequential, and notably the first election since the Hamas attack and massacre. Israelis are in deep introspection about the personalities, the parties, and the policies that are most important this year perhaps more than ever. Many Israelis are confused, undecided about who to vote for, either shifting from a party they previously supported or looking to the emergence of new parties with new people leading voices for change. Whatever the outcome is, the process leading up to the election scheduled for October will not be boring. Join this panel, the first in a series, to understand what Israeli voters are thinking.
