Israel Must Live!
Israel has a character of its own, a permanence that has endured persecutions of the worst sort and nineteen hundred years of displacement: it is the center of God’s plan. Jerusalem is once again occupied by the Jews and is a focal point of spiritual significance.
World Spotlight Turns on Israel; Future of Israel Foreseen by Prophets
For the Jews in Israel survival as a people, their recurrent and dominant concern, once more thrusts its way to surface as the pressing issue of the day. A short but tragically costly war has focused on the delicacy of Israel’s position in the world—and left her feeling far more isolated.

Uncertain Passage, Certain Destination: The Peace of Jerusalem
I attended a wedding in Jerusalem this past July, an historic moment to be in Israel again. For the first time in forty-six years as a nation, Israel was promised peace with her closest neighbor: Jordan.

A great deal of uncertainty surrounds the future of the Jews, in Russia and in the nation Israel. Recent developments in Soviet-American relations and the breakdown of détente have thrown into question when and even whether the emigration of Jews from Russia to Israel will be made possible on a large scale.
Should a Christian Celebrate Passover?
Why ask? Everyone knows that Passover is a Jewish holiday—perhaps the defining Jewish holiday. Israel’s Passover deliverance was so breathtaking that even Spielberg’s special effects in “The Prince of Egypt” do it scant justice. Passover is one of history’s greatest stories!
Can a Jew be a Conscientious Objector?
Can a Jew be a Conscientious Objector? A Jew can, obviously, object to war as conscientiously as any other human being, but sometimes just being a Jew makes it harder for him to gain recognition as a C.O.
