Do We Really Need to Study the Old Testament?
Dr. Debbie Burd talks to me today about the importance of the Old Testament in understanding the New.
Debbie is the president of the Besorah Institute for Judaic-Christian Studies & Biblical Research.
The vision and mission of the Besorah Institute are to help increase understanding among the members of the Body of Christ (The Church) of their Jewish roots, to train individuals for lay ministry to share the Gospel message with non-believers from a Judaic-Christian perspective, and to add to the literature on Biblical research.

To the Jew First and Equally to the Gentile
David Stern, in his Complete Jewish Bible, translates this phrase from Romans 1:16, “to theJew especially, but equally to the Gentile.” The Good News is offered “equally” to Gentiles; thus, it is “also” for the Gentiles(NASB). (Messianic Foundations, Dr. Sam Nadler, pg 24) My guest today is Dr. Sam Nadler. He is the president and founder […]

Our Israel Tour Guide
My guest Miriam Feinberg Vamosh was an Israel tour guide for forty years. Today she “walks” us through the Temple Mount with Psalms of praise, the Garden Tomb, the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu, the pool of Bethesda, and the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem.
Miriam was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and has lived in Israel since 1970. Her love affair with the Bible and ancient sources – which led to her series of books on daily life in Bible times, her historical novel The Scroll, and hundreds of articles – grew over many years as a tour educator. Miriam’s interest in the New Testament began with the respect that she learned for people of other faiths and cultures from her parents, older brother, and sister. Her writing, and her translating, and editing of scholarly research on biblical antiquity on the one hand, and her work as a translator on the news desk of the critical, cutting-edge Israeli daily, Haaretz, on the other, come together in a complex whole that, for Miriam, makes life in Israel a never-ending search for meaning.
