Hello Steve,

How are you? It’s good to hear from you.

Things are changing very fast and with far reaching impact.

I did my late Bar Mitzvah last year and after that, I was blessed to become the shomer of an original handwritten Torah scroll.


We received it as a gift from a rabbi in Yerushalayim. 


It is a scroll that came out of Europe during World War II to save it from the Germans. And now it is the first scroll to go out from Yerushalayim into the Netherlands after the rebirth of Israël in 1948.

We think it is one of many signs that the time of the Messiah is very nearby. Yerushalayim is again the center of the world. And the Word of Adonai is going out of it to the Gentiles.

We are so grateful and therefore the only task left is announcing the Kingdom of Adonai Eloheinu.

Baruch haShem v’brachot to you and your family. Hope to see you in Yerushalayim some day,

On July 9, 2017, Peter wrote back in an email after my word to him about this being such a joy.

It is!! Every day we open this scroll and read it in His original version The Lord opens new perspectives of the Messiah and what He did and who He is.

If one reads the first sentence of the Book, everyone reads:
"In the beginning, God created ...... etc"

But, if you look further into it, in the original version, you can read it also as: "By giving the Head (or the most important; which is Yeshua) God created ....." or another way to translate it is: “The Son confirmed the Creation of God through...

Love For His People Note: 

Peter and I have been good friends since we met each other at a Vision for Israel/The Joseph Storehouse Sukkot Celebration, with Barry and Batya Segal, in Jerusalem. It must have been in the fall of 2006 or 2007, during the Feast of Tabernacles. Either at Ramat Rachel in southeast Jerusalem or Yad HaShmona just west of Jerusalem. (Do you remember, Peter, the time and location?)

Peter was heading up the work of the humanitarian ministry in The Netherlands while I was the USA Director of the same in Charlotte, North Carolina. I remember Peter helping me count the offering after one meeting, and we had a joy trying to put the different foreign currencies into separate envelopes for proper accounting. Seeing all the nations represented in Jerusalem was the real joy!

Over the years we have stayed connected as best we can. And yes, my good friend Peter, we will see each other again in Yerushalayim. Sooner than later!

We bless Yeshua HaMashiach!

Rabbi vents his fury about Jesus and ONE FOR ISRAEL's evangelism


Dr Erez Soref President of  ONE FOR ISRAEL 
Shalom from Israel!

As the Word of Truth goes forth, so inevitably come the attacks. We know that we are in a battle, but we also know who has the victory!

"But thanks be to God, who in Messiah always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us reveals everywhere the aroma  of the knowledge of Himself. For we are the aroma of Messiah to God, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing - to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life." (2 Cor 2:14-15)

Here is a short video showing one rabbi who is furious about how far our evangelism is reaching, along with our response from Moti and Eitan, click photo to watch:


Meanwhile, the gospel is advancing, and Jewish people keep on coming into the Kingdom...

Eitan writes, "Here is (a part of) a message that I just received from a girl in her early 20s:

"Shalom, I am writing to you because I came to the conclusion that Yeshua is the Messiah. 

So I got in touch with Rabbi Daniel Asur to be sure of my decision. I our meeting he told me that in one of his meetings with Eitan and Moti, Moti got upset and hit him. I am reluctant to believe him. So I am asking you if that's true?"

The rabbis just don't know what to do with us anymore, so they lie, make up stories, incite against us in videos... I feel we are about to enter some interesting times here in Israel."

A New Wailing Wall - Tsvi Sadan ISRAEL TODAY

A New Wailing Wall

Tuesday, February 09, 2016 |  
Tsvi Sadan  ISRAEL TODAY
The Israeli government after years of deliberation has granted permission for non-traditional Jews to pray as they see fit at the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site. 
For a thousand years, Jews who prayed at what is known in Hebrew as the Kotel did so in a traditional manner, including gender separation. Since the 1980s, however, Reform and Conservative Jews have challenged the consensus by demanding recognition of their right to pray as they wish.
Small in number though they be, these non-traditionalists, most recognizable among them the Women of the Wall (pictured), finally convinced the Israeli government to allocate the southern portion of the Temple Mount's western retaining wall for their use.
That marked a bitter compromise for the Western Wall's chief rabbi, who called the new arrangement "the lesser of two evils." 
The rabbi stated that "ever since this marginal and tempestuous group of the Women of the Wall started its media campaign, the Western Wall has transformed from a unifying place to a wrestling arena. It will take years to amend the sacrilege this group has caused." 
This new arrangement, he continued, "is the result of legal constraints and fear of further escalation in this fight to break the walls of holiness. We must do whatever we can to leave this horrid affair behind us."
Reform Rabbi Uri Regev wasn't too happy, either. "We are talking about a painful compromise. While the Orthodox occupation of the traditional Western Wall continues, the liberal constituency will have to travel to Robinson Arch [the southern portion of the wall]," he complained.
The new area, called Azarat Yisrael, is to be located in the archeological garden at the southern foot of the Temple Mount. The future prayer plaza will be built around the archeological site and will have its own separate entrance. In other words, the Israeli government has effectively created a new holy site for non-traditional Jews that will be separated from the Western Wall.
Little wonder that even lenient rabbis like Haim Navon think that this is a clumsy and expensive arrangement that will solve nothing. He rightly warns that the clashes instigated by the non-Orthodox with the Chief Rabbinate are designed to impose a particular liberal worldview, which is why such confrontations won't end with the new prayer plaza, but will simply be refocused on other issues.
Navon also touches upon the issue of the of minority groups' right to impose their practices on the public space that can't be easily divided. 
The Western Wall, he argues, is a national symbol out of which no one has the right to cut a piece for himself. The Wall can't be equally divided, and demands for an egalitarian holy site can only result in egalitarian disputes where, in the name of minority rights, petitions to the Supreme Court may come to absurdities. Nothing of value can come when common sense gives way to the discourse of rights, he said.

Rabbi Threatens to Kill Messianic Jewish Evangelists - ISRAEL TODAY

Eitan Bar and Moti Vaknin, the Israeli Messianic Jews behind the One For Israel project

Rabbi Threatens to Kill Messianic Jewish Evangelists

Sunday, October 25, 2015 |  Israel Today Staff
A well-known, though already controversial, Israeli rabbi recently released a video encouraging his followers that Messianic Jews sharing the Gospel deserve the “death penalty.”
“Whoever incites to idolatry, his punishment is death,” stated Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi. “And whoever follows him also deserves death!”
Mizrachi was referring specifically to Eitan Bar and Moti Vaknin, the Israeli Messianic Jews behind the One For Israel project that exists primarily to share the Gospel via the Internet.
In one of their more recent videos, Bar and Vaknin exposed several of Mizrachi’s false teachings regarding Yeshua and the promises about Messiah.
Mizrachi warned that “if they dare to speak up again, these two clowns, I will strike them down.”
In a video response to Mizrachi’s threat, Bar and Vaknin asked for prayers for their personal safety, but also expressed forgiveness and love for the wayward rabbi.
“Rabbi Mizrachi, we still love you, forgive your incitement, and refuse to hate you back,” said Vaknin.
Born in Israel, Rabbi Mizrachi now resides in New York where he heads an organization that teaches his brand of Judaism to both religious and secular Jews. He has courted controversy in the past by, among other things, suggesting that Down’s Syndrome and autism are “punishments for sins committed in a previous life.”

Finding the Holy Vessels – Is Now the Time?


The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Finding the Holy Vessels – Is Now the Time?


In the late 1920’s, a Jewish farmer discovers a pit/cave as he is plowing his field in Israel.  He is startled, but manages to identify the golden items as the holy vessels as used in the First Temple of Solomon.  He draws a makeshift map and travels to New York with all the information on his findings. There he tracks down a certain Rabbi Herman (from the famous book: ALL FOR THE BOSS) and asks him what to do with his new secret.  
The Rabbi cross-examines the farmer in order to verify the story, then sends his son (from the Mir Talmudic Yeshivah in Poland) over to a great Jewish sage living in Radin with a confidential letter and map, asking his coveted opinion on what to do next.  The sage firstly confirms the site and states that the time has not yet arrived to reveal these Temple items, and in fact, all parties will forget the whole thing until many years later, on the day that this Israeli farmer dies.
The fascinating story continues.  While studying in Lakewood, New Jersey, Herman’s son suddenly remembers the whole episode in Poland, including the map, and passes everything on to another prestigious member of his family.  One thing led to another, and believe it or not, there are those living in Israel today that know approximately where this underground cave lies, the very same one that is part of this authentic story!
Too good to be true?  Not at all.
BIN-OpEd-Experts-300x250(1)
When the First Temple was destroyed by the biblical King Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC, it’s a known fact that he stole many of the Temple treasures and brought them back to Babylonia.  However, there were some that were secreted away before he could get his hands on them and buried outside of Jerusalem for the specific purpose (in order) to be found over 2000 years later, as a preparation for the coming of the Jewish Third Temple.  It seems that that time is finally arriving, and in our days too.
In fact, you and I are living in a truly unique time in history, specifically Jewish history, whether from a religious, political, or even cultural standpoint.  With the relatively new threat of a nuclear IRAN, many Jews are now terribly divided as to where their allegiance should be cast.  The pathetic nuclear Treaty with the mullahs discredits the White House and its Middle Eastern allies because it’s just a matter of time before their contract is breached by the other side (since there’s nothing in it for the Western countries to breach).  
As sanctions can no longer be “snapped back,” one of the P5+1 countries will most likely end up with some form of military strike against Iran (if not Israel doing the dirty work itself).  Like Winston Churchill so appropriately said back in September 1938 re: the Munich Settlement:
“You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war.”
For Americans, it has already erupted into much more than a partisan issue. For us, it’s now a full-fledged internal war between AIPAC, which takes direction from the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, and JSTREET, which has been hired (for all intents and purposes) by the Obama Administration.
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Let’s keep things in context though, shall we?  All this is just the calm before the storm.  While all the hullabaloo is going on in Congress vis-à-vis this Treaty, in the backrooms behind the scenes, the PA, France and New Zealand (in cooperation with President Obama) are busy drafting a UN Resolution that is designed to force Israel to withdraw back to the 1967 borders some time by the end of next year.  The idea is ostensibly to divide Jerusalem so that the Palestinians will have their capital along with cutting out other parts of Israel, places where only fellow Arabs will be able to trod (as stated outright by PA President Abbas).  
After Congress votes and the Iranian dust settles, the mainstream media will no doubt focus on swaying public opinion in support of the new UN resolution. Not sure though if the Israeli coalition government will be able to stand up to this latest UN charade, since there is zero chance of the US vetoing the resolution.  Certainly, the Right, and even those more in the Center here in Israel will no longer be suckered into a Gush Katif-like deal, and will fight tooth and nail.
Having said that, what can be the antidote in securing Israel’s lofty future?
An undeniable truth needs to be revealed.  And the only real antidote to all these existential threats that surround us today lies not necessarily in military might, but rather in revealing the truth, because the truth can be the best weapon.  Certainly where the media is concerned.  Discovering the holy Temple vessels that are in that cave in the above-mentioned story will do just that.  It will give Israel the strength and moral fortitude to connect back with her ancient roots, and will inspire those in power to respond in kind to the UN threat by drawing its own borders, i.e. – the biblical borders of Israel that can be properly protected.  This includes the fight to keep a unified Jerusalem alive for the foreseeable future.  And when these Temple items are indeed found in Jewish hands, all the nations will know that the building of another everlasting edifice is on its way in order to house them, and in our very days.  A Temple not only for the Jews, but for all peoples.  This, of course, will be good of ALL Israeli citizens, no matter what the background or religion.
Uncover the Truth Behind the A.R.K.
Professor Gabriel Barkay (who appears in my recent book: The A.R.K. Report) has said time and time again that finding these Temple treasures will put to rest once and for all (what I call) Temple Denial Syndrome, or TDS, which was originally started by Yasser Arafat in his conversations with President Clinton at Camp David in 2000.   Denying the existence of any historical Jewish structure on the Temple Mount was, and is, an integral part of the PA’s media machine, which is still running full out today.  The following was his press statement at the time:
“They found not a single stone proving that the Temple of Solomon was there, because historically the Temple was not in Palestine (at all). They found only remnants of a shrine of the Roman Herod.”
Why do we give in to believing the Arab propaganda machine? Not only is it an assault on the truth, but an assault on common sense!  Now, right now, it may be possible to prove him wrong once and for all.  We’re that close to finding the real deal, and it’s just outside our (proverbial) front door.
It’s that close…

Sweet Taste of the Land of Milk & Honey ✡ "A Little Honey, Wax and Lotus"

So Israel, their father, said to them, "If so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the Land in your vessels, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, wax and lotus, pistachios and almonds."

GENESIS (43:11)

וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲבִיהֶם אִם כֵּן אֵפוֹא זֹאת עֲשׂוּ--קְחוּ מִזִּמְרַת הָאָרֶץ בִּכְלֵיכֶם וְהוֹרִידוּ לָאִישׁ מִנְחָה  מְעַט צֳרִי וּמְעַט דְּבַשׁ נְכֹאת וָלֹט בָּטְנִים וּשְׁקֵדִים

בראשית מג:יא

va-yo-mer a-lay-hem yis-ra-ayl a-vee-hem im kayn ay-fo zot a-su k'-khu mi-zim-rat ha-a-retz bikh-lay-khem v'-ho-ree-du la-eesh min-kha m'-at tza-ree u-m'-at d'-vash n'-khot va-lot bo-t'-neem u-sh'-kay-deem

Today's Israel Inspiration

Jacob commands his sons to bring an offering to Pharoah's viceroy, some choice fruits of the land. A 'minkha', present, says R' Samson Raphael Hirsch, indicates a gift that benefits the giver more than the receiver. Obviously, this gift benefits the sons of Jacob in that it can cause the viceroy to view them favorably. However, the gift carries the added benefit of reminding the sons of their homeland and its blessings, as they again journey down to Egypt. Give yourself a delicious gift from the Land of Milk & Honey!
