What if the two massive bronze pillars at the entrance of Solomon’s Temple were never meant to hold anything up, but were meant to tell everyone who entered something about God?
In 1 Kings 7, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel discover the powerful meaning behind Yachin and Boaz, the remarkable craftsman who helped build the Temple, and the deeper connection between Israel, the nations, and the House of God.
In this chapter we learn: -Solomon’s 13-year palace and the striking contrast with the seven years spent building the House of God. -Hiram the craftsman, a man connected to both Israel and Tyre, and his connection to Betzalel and the construction of the Mishkan. -The biblical pattern of righteous people from the nations becoming part of Israel’s story, including Rahav, Ruth, Yitro, and Hiram. -The significance of the enormous bronze pillars Yachin and Boaz at the entrance to the Temple. -Why Yachin means “He will establish” and Boaz means “In Him is strength.” -The deeper calling of Israel to be a testimony to the nations and a light pointing toward the prophetic future of Jerusalem.

Can a king destroy idolatry and still fail to serve Hashem with his whole heart?
JCAP (the Jerusalem Center for Applied Policy) researches, advances policies and advocates for Jerusalem as Israel's sovereign and indivisible capital- and more. Founder and president Chaim Silberstein speaks with Eve Harow about little known issues that have dangerous ramifications. For example, the Arab population of the city now stands at 40%. How can Jerusalem be reconfigured and built up as to minimize the potential of a ‘democratic’ coup? Erdogan of Turkey, with Qatari complicity, is building a Sunni ring around Israel whose goal is to anoint him as Caliphate of an Empire with Jerusalem at the center. Iran and its proxies remain a major nuclear threat to the West. With France burning, JCAP’s global diplomatic efforts are becoming increasingly critical to educate allies that Israel’s enemies are theirs as well. Their research provides valuable insights into what’s coming next and how to avoid the consequences of inaction.
