What do observant Jews believe? What is the heart of their faith? From them, what are things we can learn? The answers to these questions are found in the remarkable Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur. What is it? Why does Jewish tradition call the month before Yom Kippur “The King Is in the Field” — and what does that image have to do with a king who leaves his throne room just to meet us exactly where we are? What is the Biblical basis for observant Jews to pray facing the Western Wall, a retaining wall that was never part of the Temple itself, rather than toward the Temple Mount above it? Should we also pray in that direction? And why, according to Jewish gematria, does the Hebrew word for “the accuser” add up to exactly three hundred sixty-four — one day short of the year?
This week, Brian Schrauger sits down with Rabbi Moshe Kempinski, of the Shorashim shop in Jerusalem’s Old City, to discover the heart of Judaism by exploring the meaning of Yom Kippur: the real question behind the book of Jonah, the screamed declaration “the Lord is God” followed by total silence, and the astonishing rush from the holiest fast of the year straight into building a sukkah. Watch to discover why Rabbi Kempinski calls the final hour of Yom Kippur “the most awesome hour” of his entire year. This is a report you will want to absorb and share.

Help Us Bring Israel’s Wounded Warriors Home to Therapy
Since October 7, 2023, thousands of young Israelis have come home from war with wounds that will last a lifetime — lost limbs, blindness, wounds you can’t see at all. Beit Halochem, “House of the Warriors,” gives them a second home: therapy, rehabilitation, counseling, and a brotherhood of others who understand. A new center is being built in Ashdod, in the south, where the war hit hardest — but many wounded soldiers have no way to get there. A specially equipped vehicle, with a wheelchair lift and room for medical equipment, costs $108,000.
I am asking you to prayerfully consider giving to Tipping Point Ministries so we can carry on the work of sharing Bible prophecy — and so we can also stand alongside these wounded warriors and get them to the help they need. We are committing to raise as much of that $108,000 as we can, with a goal of $50,000. Every gift gets us closer.
