#91 - Still Standing - interview with Ronen Ben Moshe

Oct 07, 2024 | Episode Guest: Ronen Ben Moshe

We mourn with Israel and the Jewish people all over the world as we remain devastated by the terrible acts that took place one year ago. On October 7, 2023, Israel was attacked by Hamas. Terrorists killed over 1,000 people and kidnapped over 250. We still await the return of nearly 100 remaining hostages a year later. We recognize and lament that these vile acts have catapulted unrest in the Middle East, as well as unprecedented anti-Semitism around the world. We grieve with Israel and the Jewish people today and continue to stand with them and hold out hope for God to move and restore peace. On this episode, Rich invites Ronen Ben Moshe (Israeli guide and friend) to share his perspective on the events of the last year. Despite the great losses that Israel has suffered, Ronen reminds us that he and his people have shown and continue to show solidarity, support and love for one another. They are happy, joyful and optimistic with faith and joy in their hearts. As Ronen says, "We're still here." The Israeli people remain standing, unbroken, and need us to stand with them, supporting them all the time, in every way we can. “Hazak, hazak, v'nit'hazek!" ("Be strong, be strong, and may we strengthen one another")
