The Eric Metaxas Show - Rabbi Yehudah and Hadass Glick

Episode Date: August 20, 2021

Rabbi Yehudah and Hadass Glick run a ministry called Amitsim, community centers with programs and events for taking care of widows and orphans all over Israel; plus, a Fun Facts Friday "sampler."

the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas. Ladies and gentlemen, as promised, we keep yacking and yacking about food for the poor. You'd like to know, hey, hey, who runs that organization? Well, we tracked him down. He wasn't easy to find, but his name is Ed Raines, and he's right here. Ed, welcome the program. Thanks so much, Eric. Great to be on your show.

Of course, I'm lying. You were very easy to find. In fact, it was you who found me. But I want to ask you, Ed, how long have you been? the head of food for the pork because you're a fairly recent addition to this longstanding organization yeah so i've been here almost four years but uh as president's CEO since the beginning of 2020 so uh where are you from originally ed well it started off life growing up in london uh and came to college in the u.s and never left so uh you've just got a little bit of that

English accent there. Well, look, my audience already knows about food for the poor, but let's, for those who don't who might be tuning in right now, I have to say, there are almost no organizations that we work with the way we do with you guys. CSI is the only one

that's popping into my mind. People that we have vetted, not just we, the Irkimer Taxis show, but the entire Salem Radio network from Mike Gallagher to the next mayor of California. Larry Elder, to Hugh Hewitt, to my dear, dear friend Dennis Prager.

We believe in the work you're doing at Food for the Poor and the way that you do it, feeding the poorest of the poor in the world, Haiti, other places. So we really believe in you and periodically we partner with you. We're doing that with you this month, obviously. And so I want to say before we even get into the conversation, folks, you go to my website, it's the radio website, metaxis talk.com. You'll see the banner. All the exciting details are there. Ericmetaxis.com is my website. Metaxistocotoccom is the radio website since we talk on the radio. And if you want to call the numbers, 844-863 Hope, 844-863 Hope. So, Ed Rain, tell us, what are we

looking at right now? You've been the head of Food for the Poor since roughly this horrific pandemic messed with the world's economy and everything. So what's going on right now? Well, thanks, Eric. I mean, one of the things we have to say is that the COVID hit that we saw in the U.S. has been replicated in the 17 countries that we support around the Caribbean and Latin America. And just as we saw, you know, the food crisis has been the number one problem.

People suddenly finding themselves without work. And in many of the countries, the devaluation of their currencies is also ensured that they are faced with limited access to food and the food that they can find is at a greater cost. So their burden is greater than ever. And then, you know, we're in the business of sort of helping from a relief anyway. So you add in, you know, what we typically expect in a given year with the hurricanes and the flooding and so forth. So, you know, think about last year, had COVID going on and then those two hurricanes that slammed into Central America, we were there to provide support. But it is, this is a moment in time where, you know, we are very concerned for the countries that

we're supporting. Food is the number one problem. Well, it's hard again for America. There's always a challenge because we are so blessed in this nation, even the poorest people in this nation have ways to get food. So the idea that there are people struggling who don't have the most basic medicine are dying for want of medicine that none of us would ever think about having a problem getting. That's why you all are doing what you're doing. How many years has food for the poor been doing this kind of thing? Well, it's 39 years, and you're quite right.

I mean, the medicines are a part of our program. We partner with organizations to provide us with medicines and medical supplies. And when you think about the plight of someone in extreme poverty, they have multiple needs. So we talk about, you know, all of those, whether it's food, it's access to water, it's shelter, housing. We built 85,000 homes through the generosity of donors over the 39 years in many of those countries, about nine of those countries.

But all of these things press upon the problems of poverty. And so trying to be able to provide sort of a full array of solutions for those people is imperative. We always start with food. That's why food for the poor. That's how we began. But we very quickly realized that a full array of solutions was required. You know, imagine what it's like if you absolutely have nothing. I mean, we talk about, you know, relative poverty within the U.S.,

and there are many services that help those in extreme need here in this country. But that safety net just is not present in the countries we're talking about. So, you know, if somebody doesn't act on their behalf, nothing's going to happen. It's an amazing thing because in this country, in the United States, we have the luxury of arguing which is better, the public sector or the private sector. Should government be doing this? Should private individuals be doing this? It's almost comical that we argue about how to get it done. And there are countries where it's not even a thought that the government would get it done.

The governments tend to be tremendously corrupt. They couldn't care less about the poor and their misery. They don't have a Christian worldview. In America, even pagans have a Christian worldview when it comes to the poor. They don't know where it came from, but of course it comes out of the Bible, caring for those who can't care for themselves, feeding those who are hungry, basic ideas for centuries. And in countries like Haiti, as you describe and others,

the governments are so broken down. There's a kind of anarchy and a misery. and it would be wonderful if we can come in there and revive the entire nation, but we can't do that. But the people are there, they are suffering, and what we can do is what food for the poor does. So it's just a beautiful thing. Tell us also, I mean, I know I keep telling my audience that for $11,

you feed somebody, you would feed three kids for six months. That's how you leverage the American dollars, which is nothing less than astonishing. I mean, when somebody thinks of $11, it's nothing to an American. and then you think it can feed three starving kids for six months. So how is it that food for the poor can do those types of things? Well, there's several reasons. When you think about how we're set up, we have extensive logistics and distribution capability.

That's how we get the relief for the containers. It's usually about 4,000 containers a year get set out to these countries. And the most important part of the equation is how we use the churches in these countries. So it is really our sort of secret source, if you want to say it that way. Christian ministry here works through those churches, all denominations, and we're able to distribute through those churches. Of course, it's, you know, the church isn't charging us a fee to do this. And that's getting to more people through that network. I mean, in Haiti alone, we probably have 3,000 outlets for the distribution that we, that we start.

off in our two warehouses. They go to 14 distribution centers, and those distribution centers are typically in large churches, and then for further redistribution. So it's an incredible network. You have to have that network in place to make a difference. Well, see, this is what I keep trying to say. We're just going to keep you for another minute here, but I just want to say that this is the key. This is why we, all the other Salem radio partners, work with food for the because you all have this infrastructure and the relationships with churches, that is the key to everything. You're able to leverage our few dollars dramatically. And I know this. I've heard about this before. I've looked into this before. So when people think, well, what can I

do? Well, folks, whatever you give to food for the poor, it is dramatically magnified. I want to say again, please go to our website. It's metaxis talk.com. You'll see the banner. It gives you all the details there. And I also want to say to anybody who's listening, anybody crazy enough to want to have dinner with me, Eric Metaxus, for a $10,000 gift to food for the poor. And many of you have done it in the past. I'm asking you to do it again, please.

I'd be delighted to meet you in a city of our mutual convenience, have dinner with you. We can include whomever you like. A thousand dollars gift, you can have a visit to the studio with your whole family or anyone you're like. Or if you hate New York, you can find friends in New York and say, hey, you go in our place. Whatever works for you, we've got a number of other things, grand prizes. We want to bless you and encourage you. It is a remarkable opportunity that God gives us to use what he has blessed us with to bless others and food for the poor and Ed Rain.

I just want to say thank you for allowing us to participate with you in doing God's work. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having us on your show. Hey there, folks. How many years have I been telling you about relief factor? What like four? The truth is, I know there are millions of people. In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain. Maybe from exercise, just getting older. That could do it, getting older, which is why I am so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot. They are on a mission.

You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment. Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year. And I believe they'll do it. So here's the deal. If you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle, aches and pains, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted to only 1995, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain too.

And then after that, less than the cost of a cup of coffee, a day to stay at a pain. Go to relieffactor.com, relief factor.com or call 800, 500, 8384. Relieffactor.com, 800, 500, 8384. I use it. It works. Check it out. Okay, you ready for big surprise? A big surprise? Yeah. We're going to have a special segment of Fun Facts Friday because it's Friday.

Okay, Albin, you're the maestro. What are the fun facts? Oh, boy. We're going to start off with a question. Now, if you tuned in last week, we had a Fun Facts Friday. It was kind of a truncated version. Right. Yeah.

Okay. Well, we're going to have a little Fun Facts Friday that's a little bit bigger than a trunk. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to go on with a question. Then we're going to go on for some fun facts. Okay.

So in order to get the fun facts out, you're going to ask me questions. This is not Ask Metaxis. We want to be clear. This is Fun Facts Friday. Fun facts that Albin has amassed for your entertainment. I know. Yes. And sometimes you challenge me on them, but that's all right.

Okay. Okay. Okay, this is a quote from a former president, a former president. This is the quote, a people that values its privileges, its privileges above its principles, soon loses both. Now I'm going to give you a chance to think about that. Who do I, who could it be? Okay, either Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, or Barack Obama. Okay, say the quote again.

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. Well, we know that John F. Kennedy said, ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country. It's kind of like that. don't think he said it. It sounds, uh, it sounds like Reagan. Okay. It is not. It's actually Dwight D. Eisenhower. It sounds even more like Dwight D. Eisenhower. So read that again. That's a good one. That's a great one for today's. People that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both Dwight D. Buggy D. Is in the house. Okay. Now, AF, let's go on with some presidents. Just two quick short, quirky proclivities about two of our former presidents. John Quincy Adams, he was our fifth president.

He was a snuff addict. Well, I don't have that part of it, but he did like the skinny dip in the Potomac River. Okay. Okay, here's a fun fact. Do you know what Potomac means? No, I don't. It's the Greek word Potomos means river. So the Potomac River, because the Founding Fathers were really into the Greek stuff, classical stuff, they named the Potomac River, because it means river. So it's the River River. Well, so that's a really fun fact. That is. But you're telling me that John Quincy Adams would swim in the buff. Yes. In the Potomac River?

Yeah, so don't drink the water, folks. That's disgusting. Yeah, I know. Well, his campaign slogan was nothing to hide. That's not true. That's not true. Okay. And now Teddy Roosevelt, here's something else. He'd like to ride a moose. In the buff? Not in the buff, but he rode a moose bear back.

Now, wait a second. Is that true? Yes, he rode a moose. There's actually a photo on the internet of him riding a moose. You're kidding. I'm not kidding. Wearing no clothes. No, he wore clothes. Because the thought of Teddy Roosevelt, in the buff, mind you, riding a moose, it's an unpleasant visual. I don't need that. I don't need that. Get it out of my head. Get it out. Get it out. Get it out. Yeah. Yeah. But you're telling me that Teddy Roosevelt literally wrote a moose. He literally, yes. A moose is gigantic. Yeah. Well, I would think they kind of throw you too. I would like a horse.

No, no. A horse would throw you. A moose is more steady. Well, it's like riding a cow, you think? The Bull Moose Party. Yeah, it's like riding a cow. Okay. That's okay. But I want to go back to John Quincy Adams. He was known to Skinny Dip in the Potomac. Yeah. Yes. The idea of a nude John Quincy Adams is very unpleasant. Let's move on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Any of the founding fathers in the buff, I'm not interested. That's right. And any of the modern Yeah, let's just move on. It's really painful. Okay, okay. Now listen, you'll probably get this one. I like this. We're going to go a little biblical on you here. What two books of the Bible are where you're going to find the 10 commandments? Now, a lot of people have forgotten most of the commandments, but all 10 of them are going to be found. All 10 are in one book.

No, there are two books. No, two different books. No, no, but I'm saying there, well, I'd have to guess Deuteronomy and Exodus. You got it. Okay. All right. No, that's a simple one. And I'm going to see. I wonder if everybody listening got that. Most people who listen to this program are biblically literate and they would have known right away Deuteronomy and Exodus. If you didn't get that, folks, and yes, I am talking to you. Yeah. That's right. You probably aren't familiar enough with the Bible. And you really need to work on this. that. I didn't know I would get both of them right. I didn't know the question would be so easy. But if you didn't know that, that's really basic. So let that be a red flag. Yes. Yes. Okay. Now, if you opened up the Ark of the Covenant. And I didn't. I didn't. I want to be very clear I didn't. But if I did. Okay. Now, if you opened up the Ark of the Covenant, like the ending of what was the greatest of Lost Ark? If you opened it up, what three things would you find inside? Oh. Actually, that is in my, is a three.

Theism Dead book. Then you should know. But I bet I forgot. When I read this, I couldn't believe this. In the time of Jesus, the temple was standing because it was destroyed 40 years later in 70 AD by the Romans, completely destroyed, burned, destroyed, everything. But I didn't know this. And when I learned this, I was astonished. And I'm glad we're talking about it on the program.

And it is in my book, Is Atheism Dead coming out in October. in the Holy of Holies, they had the Ark of the Covenant. And in the Ark of the Covenant, they had three things that are 1,500 years old at that time. Yes. They had manna in a pot. Yes. Like actual manna that they had kept for 15 centuries. Yeah.

Can you believe that? I do believe it. I don't believe it's like in the Reformation when they had all these phony relics. And I mean, in my Luther book, I talk about that. But this is real, I believe it. So they had a pot of mana, which was no longer good to eat because it had been more than one day. In fact, it had been more than 365 days. In fact, it had been 15 centuries.

They also had the budded rod of Aaron. That's right. Which they had kept for 15 centuries. Now, the third thing was the actual 10 commandments, the stone commandments. Yeah, and you can find the answer. This is really cool. in Hebrews 9, 4, Chapter 9. I didn't know that.

First 4, it says, I'm reading this, the gold-covered Ark of the Covenant, the ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff that had budded and the stone tablets of the covenant. Okay, now, ladies and gentlemen, that is in Hebrews 9. If you didn't know that, you are not biblically literate. I didn't know that. The only reason I knew it was because I wrote about it in my book. Yeah.

So now go wash in the paper. Atomic three times and come out. Ew. Now, you know what? This is true. When Jesus was on the Temple Mount, all of this was there. Now, can you imagine that they had these things? And then 40 years later, the Romans just completely, I mean, again, it's in my book, is atheism dead. But I learned so much. And so I learned one thing. I should have known it from Hebrews 9-4. Okay, next. Okay, the next thing is a visual. Okay. Now, when I was a kid, and this is probably true, when you

were a kid and we got a bag of potato chips. Now, back then, we didn't have omega-3 mix. Okay. This is replacing potato chips today. Okay, you got to have your nuts and your fruits and your vegetables all dried up. Yeah, yeah. This is what, this is a boil my potato chip. Go ahead. Okay. This is a boil my potato chip today. Because when I was growing up and you got a bag of potato chips, you had to kind of break open the bag, right? And sometimes it was whole hard to get open. You'd have to bite it open with your teeth, right? Right, right. And then later you saw your dentist and he fixed your teeth. Nowadays, on every bag, they give you a little notch.

You see, there's a notch on this bag. It's pronounced notch. Notch. Not whatever. I love your Pittsburgh accent. You say a notch. Well, in Pittsburgh, we didn't. Nowadays, everywhere you go, there's a notch.

It's like. There's a notch on every bag. Yeah. So now that you, it's like they make it so easy for you. Like back then, we had a struggle even to eat our potato chips. You're becoming Andy Rooney. I know. But.

Listen. Listen, listen, but you've got to be clear, Albin, this is Fun Facts Friday. Yeah. And this, we often do a special, what boils your potato. What ticks you off? Yes. And what you're telling us today is what boils your potato is the idea that there are these notches and that they're discouraging people from ripping bags open with their teeth.

What kind of country have we become when you're discouraging people from biting mylar and plastic and cellophane bags with your teeth? What kind of a people have we become? to your friend, would you like a chip? And they're like, whoa, dude. And we didn't say dude back then either, right? Yeah, and we didn't have the internet or any of that stuff. We didn't. Oh, and by the way, I was, I was in a fortune cookie. This is also food related. I got one of my favorite fortunes ever, okay? This is actually a fortune cookie. This is what it said. In order to discover who you are, first learn who everybody else is, you're what's left. that's kind of funny I kind of like that so these are fortune cookies you're now bringing fortune cookies

on the Fun Facts Friday this is supposed to be factual stuff but are these factual real fortune cookies? No that's a real absolutely real fortune cookie absolutely right okay here's it

last question last question because we're running out of time or no yeah we are running out of time who was the absolute worst poker player in history absolute worst poker player in history Saddam Hussein

No. Wait a minute. General Mark Millie. No. Who? William Tell. William Tell? Oh, that's a joke.

A tell. Sorry. That's a joke. We ended with a joke. Folks, that was Fun Facts Friday. Stay tuned for more looniness. How would you like to talk about a rabbi who was in the Knesset as a member of the Lekud Party who ran for president of Israel and who has a lovely. wife named Hadass.

I just thought, you know, I'd like to do that today. And here they are, Rabbi Yehuda Glick and his wife Hadass Glick. Welcome to this program. Thank you. Shalom. And Hadass is definitely an outstanding person in spite of the fact that she's married to a rabbi. She's married to a rabbi. How does that work?

Let me ask you both. First of all, I know that you are first and foremost a Brooklyn Jew who moved to Israel. But you're a New Yorker. Let's be honest. I'm an Israeli Jew who happened temporarily for a few hundred years. My parents had moved to Brooklyn, New York. I don't know why they did that one. A few hundred years? How far back?

No, no, no. My grandfather, he moved in 1929, from Lodge to Brooklyn, New York. Lodge, where's that? In Ukraine, where's that? Lodge is not Poland. Poland. You ran for. president, how many years ago in Israel?

Just a few months ago. A few months ago. Yeah, and now we just, Israel, just elected president, Isaac Herzog, who is now the president, and I was one of his competitors. There's so many things we can talk about, but I want to ask you because you are the head of the Temple Institute, as a Christian and somebody who recently, I'm coming out with a book where I talk about biblical archaeology,

and I have been so fascinated with the archaeology in Jerusalem and in Israel, and particularly the Temple Mount, the history there. So what is going on with the Temple Mount, with the idea of building a third temple? I mean, most Americans know nothing about this, and I'm just fascinating to hear from somebody who may give me some answers. So as you said, I was the director of the Temple Institute. I'm now the CEO of the Shalom Jerusalem Foundation, and the mission of the Shulandruslam Foundation is actually to forge a path in which people who love God

can freely, of course, regardless of their religion persuasions, can freely and respectfully worship in peace at the Temple Mount. And by providing equal access to the holiest of the holy places, we symbolically rebuild the temple, which strengthens the communities who worship Hashem and strengthens the values, the value systems of mankind. And unfortunately, in the Temple Mount for the past 50 years,

only Muslims were allowed to worship. And we don't believe that definitely in a Western society who believes in freedom of worship, that this should continue. And therefore, thank God we've made a major change on the Temple Mount. And we've turned the place into a place where thousands and even hundreds of thousands of tourists, believers in God, who are not, don't have to be Muslim, can come and pray.

And our goal is to turn the place into a house of prayer for all nations, as Isaiah says. Well, let me ask you, just because I need the facts. When, I mean, if I had visited Jerusalem in the last 10 years, would I be allowed on the Temple Mount? Yeah, you would be allowed on the Temple Mount, but if you would have come here five, ten years ago on the Temple Mount, you would have policemen following you, checking your lips, making sure you don't move. Until today, you cannot bring a Bible onto the Temple Mount. You cannot carry any other religious article on the Temple Mount. Today, if you're not Muslim, you can now walk on Temple

Nount. But thank God in the past few years, we've made a change that you can pray on the Temple Mount. Well, this is so bizarre. How is anybody going to know whether I'm praying? I mean, if I go to the Temple Mount, you're saying that we can visit Temple Mount. as non-Muslims? Yes, that's the situation. But as I said, we've really made the change because I said in the past, there was harassment and incitement,

and we first of all outlawed the radical political Islam organizations that were bothering others from visiting. But till now, until this very day, they do not allow to carry a Bible on the Temple Mount. They do not allow to carry any kind of shofar or any other religious article on the temple. No shofar?

What's the point? No, Shafar. This is, I'm just amazed by this. Listen, I mean, for anybody tuning in who's unaware, the idea that the holiest place in the history of the Jewish people, and I would say the holiest place for many Christians, was in the seventh century taken over by Arabs and Muslims and turned into. what is now this mosque. I mean, it's an extraordinary convergence in history. And it's just kind of hard to take in. I mean, if somebody doesn't believe in God, I would say, I would point to the Temple Mountain and say, does this seem like happenstance, that this battle, this spiritual battle is happening in this very spot where Jesus walked? I mean, it's just, it's kind of an amazing thing historically. Yeah, anybody who believed in the Bible and knows that this is the place that God has chosen to rest his divine presence.

And therefore, we cannot tolerate the fact that we're not allowed to pray there. And that's what we're trying to do. And that's majorly we say, come visit the Temple Mount, and we're going to make the change. We say the temple was destroyed, but its foundation, the Torah, the prayer, the Jewish people, the connection, the covenant with God is still there. So we rebuild the temple atop this foundation, and the new temple is built to meet the needs of today's reality. And the concept of today's reality is that we are calling upon all peoples to come to the Temple Mount, and let's make that change. It's happening. I just tell you that in 214, 180,000 Christians visited Temple Mount into 19, 800,000.

Wow, wow, wow. We're doing it. We're going to go to break. We're going to go to break. We're going to be right back, folks. I'm talking to Rabbi Yehuda, Glit. and his wife, Hadass, don't go away. Hey, folks, I've got to tell you a secret about relief factor that the father,

son, owners, Pete and Seth Talbot, have never made a big deal about, but I think it is a big deal. I really do. They sell the three-week quick-start pack for just 1995 to anyone struggling from pain, like neck, shoulder, back, hip, or knee pain, 1995, about a dollar a day. But what they haven't broadcasted much is that every time they sell a three-week quick start, they lose money. In fact, they don't even break even until about four to five months after if you keep ordering it.

Friends, that's huge. People don't keep ordering Relief Factor month after month if it doesn't work. So, yes, Pete and Seth are literally on a mission to help as many people as possible deal with their pain. They really do put their money where their mouths are. So if you're in pain from exercise or even just getting older, or to the three-week quick start for 1995. Let's see if we can get you out of pain too. Go to Relieffactor.com.

Relieffactor.com or call 800, 500, 500, 800, 800, 800. 8384 relieffactor.com. I use it. It works. Folks, welcome back. My guests are in Israel, or maybe they're in Florida. I don't know, but they, in the background, it looks like they're in Israel. Honestly, I'm talking to Rabbi Euda Glick and his wife Hadass. And I've just got to ask you again, Rabbi, I'm fascinated by this idea that people are not allowed to pray on the Temple Mount. So I'm allowed to visit, but I'm theoretically not allowed to pray. Is this rule changing or changed?

I know you are working. So tell me, where are we with this idea? We really made a change. And as I said, in the past, anybody who moved his lips was immediately arrested today. More and more Jews come to pray on the temple now. Wait a minute. You're not kidding.

People who move your lips. In the past, that was what the situation was five, seven years ago. Who would arrest you? Ten years ago, I go up there and I start moving my lips. What? What happens? A cop comes up to me? Yeah, the Jordanian-Palestinian-Wak would immediately call the police.

And the police would say, listen, that's the status quo, and we can't allow that. But really, I just prefer looking towards the future because I have this illness. I don't know if you know, I'm very optimistic. I like it. And I believe that we can bring the change, and we're bringing the change. And I really want to tell you that I have the privilege of here being right now, as you said, our heart is in Israel and that's where we live. But I'm here now with Hadass, who's really leading a revolutionary idea,

which is no greater than the one that I'm dealing with. If I'm dealing with the destruction of the temple, the home of God, that has been destroyed 2,000 years ago, and we are rebuilding, Hadass is dealing with present reality, and I think it's important that your listeners listen to this revolutionary thing that Hadass is leading together with us. And is this the Amit Sim. foundation. Before we get to that, just give me quickly, are you advocating rebuilding the temple,

building a third temple? And where is that? Just briefly, because I'm just dying to know. It's not I am advocating. The Bible advocates talks about building a house of prayer for all nations. We want the one and only God. He is one. His name is one. And we believe that the Jewish people have been chosen to be light upon the nations, to be a blessing. to the families of the earth and teach them that we're all worshipping one God, even though we're diverse in the systems and the ways that we choose to worship them. I mean, I don't need to be convinced that it should be there. I think it should be there.

But, I mean, is this realistic that they would allow Jews to build a temple on the temple mound? It strikes me as very difficult. If I would ask you 80 years ago, is it realistic that a Jewish state will be established in the Middle East? Never happened. Never happened. It's real. Impossible. Never happened.

And I want to tell you something that right now, they said, Haddad. is really promoting something that a few years ago would be unbelievable. And this is called Amit Sim Foundation. So Hadass, tell us what is that? Amitim Foundation is about the young widows, the young families of widows with orphans, and it comes to take them and to bring them from their despair and from their broken home,

give them a support system of a community around them. It's something that's not done today. It's something today that we just give them out to the, authorities to the welfare, to the government to take care of. And us people don't follow the word of Hashem, the God Almighty, that as it says in the Torah, and we need to do it. We need to take care. We built up a model. It's a great amazing model that we do in Jerusalem and in Jerusalem and in Jerusalem and we would like to do it all over the world. And right now we are opening another seven centers like that, special centers

to embrace and to strengthen and to empower the families of young widows with orphans. As Haddad said, Amit Sim seeks to rebuild just what we're doing, build up widowed parents and make them whole again after the loss of their spouse so that as leaders of their families, they can provide

a strong living and enduring foundation for their children. So it's not, the Bible never talks about the orphan. It talks about the widow and the orphan. We say, lost a spouse, young widows, young families, strengthen the surviving parent, and that will strengthen the children. And the Torah talks about families.

And the Torah talks about family. And God says, you will be a source of blessing to the families of the earth. We're now in an era where family issues are on a crisis. The family value is on a crisis. And we say that if we strengthen family, the most holy, sacred phenomena in this world, will be strengthening the home of God. And we're both.

I'm a widow and he's a widower. We both went through things and we're doing it together. If you allow me, Eric, I really want to call upon those who share this wonderful concept of the word of the Bible. Be partner with us. Go into Shalomjrooslam.org and partner with us in this big, godly, divine phenomena of rebuilding homes, rebuilding families and rebuilding the house of God. Shalomjurislam.org. Palomejuruslam.org. I just have to ask you again because, you know, the idea of building a temple there,

things are so divided today, but you're quite right. Who would dream that the Jews would return to the Holy Land after so many, after millennia, two millennia? It's an amazing thing. And now there are people who are into end-time prophecies, Christians, who are, you know, they're breeding a red heifer in the backyard, hoping to be ready for this. Do you have a sense of where your average person in Israel, do they care about this, or this is just mainly people who are serious about their Jewish faith? Well, when I started dealing with the Temple Mount, like 30 years ago, people, the only real peculiar people were doing it, and like 100 Jews would ascend annually. In 2019, we had 50,000 Jews ascending. But the concept is, and here's really the concept. I believe the most

important vessel of the temple is the hearts of mankind. And I was speaking about end of days, and I spoke about the state of Israel. Why don't we go so back? If I would have told you five years ago that the United States of America would be transferring their embassy to Jerusalem, it would be impossible. If I would tell you two years ago that the Bahrain, the Emirates, the Sudan, and Oman would sign a peace treaty with Israel and call it the Abraham Accords. is, you know, Abraham is somebody from a very well-known book. And the most amazing thing is that Donald Trump did not get the Nobel Prize for making this happen. Let's be honest. This is, nobody talks about this except us and some of our friends. Well, it is amazing.

He got the prize of the world. He got the recognition of God. He got the recognition of God. In history, he's not going to be forgotten. Nobody else will be written down in history of leading the Abraham Accords, four countries within less than two years, signed peace treaty with Israel. The American embassy moves to Jerusalem. I don't think there's ever been any president who's done since that. I think somebody had to say that. Folks, Rabbi Yehuda, Glick, and Haddas, thank you for being my guest.
