On November 2, leaders from around the world are coming to Jerusalem for the FIRST EVER World Noahide Congress.
For thousands of years, the prophets described a time when the nations would turn toward Jerusalem, seek the God of Israel, and become part of the final redemption.
Now it’s happening.
This is not a theory about some distant future. This is a real gathering being organized right now in Jerusalem bringing together Noahide leaders and representatives from across the world.
Rod Bryant joins me for a powerful conversation about what this historic Congress means, why the nations are turning toward Israel, the explosion of the Noahide movement, biblical prophecy, redemption, and whether we are watching a new stage of human history unfold before our eyes.
We also discuss Rod’s extraordinary journey from Christian pastor to Noahide leader — including the moment he removed a massive cross from his congregation and completely changed the direction of his life.
This is real.
This is historic.
And it is happening in Jerusalem.
Watch this one carefully.

Rav Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, Rosh Yeshiva of Ponovezh (1886-1969). Born in Kuhl, Lithuania, a small town of about 500 of which about a third were Jews. At the age of 14 he went to the Telshe Yeshiva, where he learned until he was twenty.
He then spent a half year in Novardok, after which he spent three years in Radin under the Chafetz Chaim. He married the daughter of the rov of Vidzh, and took over there at the end of 1911, when his father-in-law became the rov of Wilkomir. With the passing of Rav Itzele Rabinowitz on the 21st of Adar I in 1919, Rav Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman was appointed the new rav of Ponevezh at the age of 33. He was elected to the Lithuanian parliament.
He immigrated to Israel in 1940 and built Kiryat HaYeshiva in Bnei Brak and Batei Avot orphanages.
Rav Eliyohu Lopian zt”l (1872-1970) was among the most prominent leaders of the Mussar movement. As a disciple of the Kelm Talmud Torah method, he was known for his strict keeping of order and strong self-control. It is told that he would not turn his head without a reason and a structured decision.
Rav Elya was born in Kelm, Lithuania. In his youth, he studied at the yeshiva in Lomża. He emigrated to England in 1925, where he served as the rosh yeshiva of the Etz Chaim Yeshiva in the East End of London, working for many years alongside his distinguished chaver, Rav Nachman Shlomo Greenspan. His wife passed away in 1934, shortly after the engagement of their daughter Leiba to Rav Leib Gurwicz.
For many years, Rav Elya had wanted to make his home in Eretz Yisroel and spoke a great deal about the Vilna Gaon’s intense yet unfulfilled desire to live there. In 1950, he left the Etz Chaim Yeshiva and moved to Eretz Yisroel. At first he stayed in the home of his wife’s brother, Rav Yisroel Luriain, in Yerushalayim. That Sukkos, he visited the Brisker Rov, Rav Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik.
He initially refused to give mussar shmuessen in Eretz Yisroel. Yet with the blessing of the Chazon Ish, he finally reconciled himself with leading mussarshiurim. Despite his old age, he agreed in the end to act as mashgiach at the Knesses Chizkiyahu yeshiva, located originally in Zichron Yaakov and then in Kfar Chassidim, headed by Rav Noach Shimonovitz.
From the moment of his arrival, Rav Elya became a magnet for the young bochurim. The yeshiva became firmly established and even drew many young people from neighboring yeshivos.
After his passing, a street was named in his honor in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood of Yerushalayim.
Rav Elya authored Lev Eliyahu, which contains his mussar lessons and was edited by his talmidim.
Rav Elya was survived by his 13 children: Rav Simcha Zissel Lopian of Yeshivas Toras Emes, London; Rav Avrohom Yeshaye Lopin of the United States; Rebbetzin Leiba Gurwicz of Gateshead; Rav Chaim Shmuel Lopian of Sunderland Yeshiva;Rav Leib Lopian of Gateshead Yeshiva; Rav Eliezer Lopian of Yeshivas Toras Emes, London; Rebbetzin Pearl Klein of London and Yerushalayim; Rav Benzion Lapian, Willesden (London), Edgware (London) and Hong Kong; Rav Zvi Hershel Lopian Hy”d who perished in the Holocaust; Rebbetzin Rochel Vilenski of Yerushalayim; Rav Yisroel Nochum Lopian, London; Rebbetzin Chaya Pinski of Yerushalayim; and Rav Yankel Yoel Lopian, Manchester.
Rav Moshe Aryeh Freund was born in 5664/1904 in the Hungarian town of Honiad, where his father, Rav Yisrael, served as Av Beis Din. His paternal grandfather was Rav Avrohom Yehoshua Freund, the Naszoider Rav. His mother was the daughter of Rav Zev Goldberger, the Rav of Honiad. He was a descendant of the Rema, the Maharshal, the Shach and the Bais Yosef.
At sixteen, he married the daughter of Rav Boruch Goldberger, a distant relative.
Before World War II, Rav Moshe Aryeh was Rosh Yeshiva in the Hungarian town of Satu Mare.
The Nazis arrested him and his entire family in 1944. The family was deported to Auschwitz, where only Rav Moshe Aryeh survived; his wife and all his nine children died there at the hands of the Nazis. Hashem yinkom damam.
In 5711/1951 Rav Moshe Aryeh moved to Eretz Yisrael, settling in Yerushalayim, where he became the Rav of the Satmar community. He was also Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Yetev Lev, the Satmar Yeshiva in Yerushalayim.
Following the petira of the Satmar Rebbe on the twenty-sixth of Av 5739/1979, Rav Moshe Aryeh was elected Rosh Av Bais Din (Ra’avad) of the Eida HaChareidis in Yerushalayim.
After the petira of Rav Yitzchok Yaakov Weiss in Sivan 5749/1989, Rav Moshe Aryeh was appointed Gaon Av Bais Din (Ga’avad) of the Eida HaChareidis, a position he held until his petira.
In his later years, fondly known as the Yerushalaymer Rav, he was considered a Rebbe. Despite having Satmar leanings, Rav Moshe Aryeh was close with all Gedolei HoRabbonim and Gedolei HaChassidus.
Rav Moshe Aryeh was niftar on the twentieth of Elul 5756/1996 at ninety-two and was buried on Har HaZeisim. He left no children.
Rav Moshe Aryeh was the mechaber of Ateres Yehoshua on the Torah.
Mosdos were named after him in Yerushalayim and in Beit Shemesh: Kiryas HaRem”a, Rem”a standing for Rav Moshe Aryeh.
Rabbi Yisroel Schenkolewski, known throughout Lakewood as "Shenky", was one of the people working quietly behind the scenes who helped shape the community Lakewood would eventually become.
In this interview, his son Rabbi Aharon Schenkolewski shares the remarkable story of a man who built relationships with police, politicians, government officials, schools and community organizations, and somehow knew how to get things done when people needed help.
From serving as a Lakewood Police chaplain and working with Hatzalah for more than 20 years, to helping establish Bais Kaila, fighting unnecessary autopsies and finding solutions to problems that seemed impossible, Shenky’s influence reached almost every corner of the community.
But what made him so effective was not publicity or titles. It was honesty, loyalty, hakaras hatov, taking responsibility and never looking for kavod.
His upcoming book, "Upon His Shoulders", will tell the fuller story of his life and the impact he left behind.
If you knew Rabbi Yisroel Schenkolewski, or have a story about Shenky, share it in the comments.

A powerful and penetrating guidance talk delivered by the Leader of the Generation, Maran Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Dov Lando Shlit"a, following a lecture at Yeshivat Zichron Yaakov.
Addressing the difficult current situation in Eretz Yisrael, Rav Lando emphasized the core duty of yeshiva students to fully immerse themselves in diligent Torah study. He expounded on the pursuit of truth and highlighted the great virtue of admitting mistakes: "Making a mistake is not a disaster; the real disaster is refusing to admit a mistake!"
הסרטון מציג דעת התורה מראש הישיבה הרב עמית, בנוגע לשאלת "הכרת הטוב" לחיילי צה"ל. להלן הנקודות המרכזיו
הסרטון מציג דעת התורה מראש הישיבה הרב עמית, בנוגע לשאלת "הכרת הטוב" לחיילי צה"ל. להלן הנקודות המרכזיות:
השקפה תורנית על המציאות:
4:33-4:43
הרב אמר כי הכל נעשה על ידי הקדוש ברוך הוא, ושלימוד התורה הוא הגורם המגן האמיתי על עם ישראל. לשיטתו, בחור ישיבה שלומד תורה, אפילו לזמן קצר, עושה יותר למען העם מאשר טייסת שלמה
ביקורת על סדרי העדיפויות:
4:56-5:22
הרב יוצא נגד הטענה שיש להכיר טובה לחיילים לפני שמוקירים את לומדי התורה. הוא מדמה זאת למצב שבו אדם תורם מיליונים וזקוקים לו, אך הוא זוכה ליחס מזלזל, בעוד לאחרים נותנים הערכה רבה על פעולות מועטות.
תפקיד לומדי התורה:
6:09-7:27
הרב חידד כי לומדי התורה הם אלו שקובעים את המציאות בעולם, מביאים את הגשם, ומאפשרים לשמש לזרוח. לכן, הוא סבור שהיחס ללומדי התורה צריך להיות של הערכה עמוקה, ואף טוען כי אם החברה הייתה מבינה את ערך הלימוד, היו משקיעים משאבים רבים כדי לעודד בחורים ללמוד תורה.
התייחסות לצבא:
2:40-3:03
הרב מבקר את המצב הקיים וטוען כי הצבא לעיתים יוצר בעיות שהוא לאחר מכן צריך להילחם בהן.
6:20-6:39
מביע מורת רוח מכך שלומדי תורה זוכים ליחס מזלזל בחברה, בעוד הם אלו המגנים על הקיום היהודי.

הסרטון מציג שיעור מהערב מאת מרן פוסק הדור הגאון רבי יצחק זילברשטיין שליט"א לקראת ראש השנה, המשלב סיפורים אישיים, תשובות לשאלות הלכתיות מורכבות ולקחים רוחניים:
סיפור ראש הדג :
0:05-5:33
הרב מספר על בחור צעיר שקיבל בטעות זנב דג במקום ראש דג בראש השנה, אך הגיב בחוכמה באומרו: "שנהיה לזנב לאריות ולא לראש לשועלים". הנער החכם הפך לאחד מגדולי ישראל, הסיפור מלמד לא להבהל ממצבים שנראים שליליים, להתפלל והקב"ה יהפוך לטובה
שאלות ותשובות הלכתיות:
5:48-20:23
הרב דן בשאלות כמו תקיעת שופר עבור אישה כשהבעל נדרש להכריע בין רצון אמו לרצון אשתו, ומדגיש את החשיבות של שלום בית וכיבוד הורים.
סיפור על כח התורה והתמודדות עם קשיים:
20:23-27:24, 27:30-34:46
מסופר על בחור עם אפילפסיה שהצליח להפוך לתלמיד חכם בזכות עוצמת אהבת התורה, ועל מקרה הלכתי בשבת בו הוכרע הצורך בפיקוח נפש על בסיס חוות דעת רבנית, למרות חילוקי דעות משפחתיים.
סיפור הגנרל והתפילין:
34:47-42:16
סיפור מופלא על גנרל אמריקאי שפנה לרב בבקשה להניח תפילין לפני הפצצת עירק, והברכה היחודית שברכו לראשונה בהיסטוריה.
המסר המרכזי של מרן שליט"א בנוגע ללימוד תורה הוא עוצמתה המופלאה של התורה ככוח שיכול להתגבר על כל קושי, מגבלה או משבר בחיים.
הרב מדגיש כי אהבת התורה וההתמדה בה הן כלים רבי-עוצמה:
התגברות על קשיים:
20:23-27:24
הרב מביא כדוגמה את סיפורו של תלמיד שסבל מאפילפסיה אך הפך לתלמיד חכם עצום בזכות דבקותו בלימוד. המסר הוא שחשק ואהבה לתורה יכולים לגבור על מגבלות פיזיות ורפואיות בצורה שנראית כמעט בלתי אפשרית.
כוחה של התורה כקול שובר מחיצות:
41:12-41:45
הרב מציין כי קול התורה של הילדים והלומדים הוא כוח רוחני כה חזק, שהוא משפיע גם על אנשים שאינם שומרי תורה, ומבטל כל הגזירות.
קרדיט תיעוד: בקודש פנימה

J-TV founder Ollie Anisfeld joins me for a powerful conversation about Israel, antisemitism, the Jewish people and what may be unfolding right now.
Since October 7th, the eyes of the world have turned toward Israel in a way few could have imagined. Ollie believes this is not accidental — and that we may be witnessing something much bigger taking shape as history moves toward its climax.
We discuss why Israel must stop apologizing for who it is, what October 7th revealed about the world, the growing interest in Judaism among non-Jews, and whether technology and social media could actually play a role in the Messianic redemption.
Ollie also shares a powerful perspective on Rosh Hashanah, our relationship with God, and the unique mission of the Jewish people.
This is a conversation about Israel, faith, redemption and where history may be heading next.

This video is a factual historical documentary. All events, dates, quotations, and figures are drawn from published historical scholarship, government archives, and museum research. Some details remain disputed among historians — most notably the exact origin and attribution of certain quotations — and are noted as such within the narration. This content does not endorse the views or language used by any historical government, official, or organization discussed; period-accurate terminology and quoted statements are presented for historical documentation purposes only.
Rosh Hashanah is viewed in Jewish tradition as a universal day of judgment for all creation and humanity, not just the Jewish people. And we know Who that JUDGE is.
WHO are the countries NOW suffering from wildfires, flashfloods, avalanches, earthquakes, tornadoes, and invasions of foreigners?
interesting comments from some wise and caring people from countries that saved Jews:
“ And thus sealed the fate of my great grandmother, a 63 year old widow, living in Vienna. She was deported in 1942 and placed in a cattle car. Her and an untold many were transported all the way to Belarus, where she was unloaded and shot in the back of her head. So say the German and Austrian documents discovered after the war. Rest in peace grandmother, you are not forgotten.”
"And yet, in February and March of 1939, a country not mentioned in this video received two German vessels carrying hundreds of Jewish refugees, ships that had also been turned away by various other nations. The two ships were the SS Caribia and the SS Königstein, and they were welcomed in the country with the blessing of both the government and the general population. That country was VENEZUELA 🇻🇪 and the president that accepted the docking of the ships, on purely humanitarian grounds, was Eleazar López Contreras."
“ PHILIPPINES THRU OUR PRES. MANUEL QUEZON ADOPTED ALMOST 5K JEWS. A SMALL COUNTRY AND YET ACCEPTED THESE JEWISH REFUGEES”
“ Philippines took in more than 1200 Jewish refugees between 1937 and 1941. This was the initiative of the Philippine Commonwealth President, Manuel Quezon. His plan was to take in 10,000 refugees and settle them in Mindanao Island. However this was throttled by the US (the Philippines being an American colony back then) immigration policies and eventually WW2.”
“ The Dominican Republic opened the sea-side beach community of Sosua to the Jewish people in 1940. An agricultural enterprise was set up and a Synagogue still remains. In 2010, I met a Dominican-born Orthodox Jewish boy at a yeshiva!”
“ Albania issued passports. Einstein got an Albanian Passport”
“ These countries are now receiving their curse. Unfortunately, innocent citizens suffer along with the guilty when they are ruled by the wicked.”
“ Australia took in more than 25,000 Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors between 1933 and 1954. This included roughly 7,000 to 9,000 refugees fleeing Nazi persecution before World War II (1933–1939), followed by tens of thousands of displaced persons and survivors who arrived in the post-war decade.”
“My grandma and grandfather with my father left Berlin in 1939 just in time they landed in Argentina so 700.000 other jews landed there”
“ Europe is really anti semitic. They reject jews and accept muslim and look how disastrous sitution it is now!”
“ This was a very important conference & its extremely well presented here - how the World betrayed the Jews at their most vulnerable time in history- & confirms the important of that tiny strip of land called Israel to Jewish survival”
“As a person of faith in the God of Israel, I can’t help but see the irony. Europe once refused and persecuted the Jews, and decades later it finds itself confronting tensions involving their cousins, the Muslims. God Almighty certainly has a sense of humor. After watching this video, I understand the irony even more“
“ This video throws a very important light upon the situation on 14th May 1948 when the Israelis declared their independence as a Jewish state. I really am astonished that I have only just heard about this conference.”
“ FDR was a major stock holder in I. G. Farben. Let that soak in.”
“ […] The truth is hatred has existed for centuries against the Jews . The Romans , Babylonians , the Greeks Crusaders , Cossacks , pogroms in Eastern Europe , Spanish Inquisition Portuguese Inquisition The Farhud in Iraq and massacres in Arab world going back to Medina and now OCTOBER 7th ! The WEST was morally bankrupt and TODAY they are MORALLY BANKRUPT and have HJACKED DEMOCRACY ! WHAT a disfunctional world we live in and sadly they are so naive ! The WEST has NO idea what is coming their way !!!!”
The 32 participating countries included:
North America:United States, Canada (NOTE: the US and Canada are seemingly in a cold war with one another)
Europe:United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Sweden
Latin America:Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela
Oceania:Australia, New Zealand
Asia:India (represented as part of the British delegation/empire)
Note: While 32 nations formally took part, major powers like the United Kingdom, United States, and Francerefused to change their strict immigration quotas, and only the Dominican Republic offered to accept a significant number of refugees.
