Messianic believers Noam and Deborah Cohen share their powerful testimony from the Galilee, weaving Hebrew insights and Scripture to remind the church of our grafted-in identity (Romans 11) and our call to stand with Israel in a turbulent hour. From “Who do you say that I am?” at Caesarea Philippi to Yeshua’s call to deny ourselves, they challenge believers to reject replacement theology, awaken to rising antisemitism, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. With stories from October 7 and beyond, they point to the hope of Israel’s restoration–“they will look on Him whom they pierced”–and close with the Aaronic blessing, urging us to live wisely, courageously, and in Yeshua’s peace.
