Jerusalem isn’t just a city - it’s the heartbeat of history.

In this episode, recorded on the eve of Jerusalem Day, Amir Mor, a seasoned tour guide and native Israeli, walks us through the story of Jerusalem like few can.

From King David’s capital to Montefiore’s daring vision, from the Six-Day War to October 7th, Amir shares not only the triumphs but the traumas that have shaped Israel’s soul.

But this isn’t only about history. It’s about faith, resilience, and the question echoing across centuries: Where is God in the struggle?

Amir’s stories - personal, raw, and powerful - give us a window into Israel’s pain, its perseverance, and its unshakable hope.

As anti-Semitism rises worldwide, Amir reminds us that truth still matters. Evil is real. But so is redemption. And in the middle of war, prayer, and tears, there is a greater story unfolding.

Listen in, and let this journey through Jerusalem stir your heart for Israel, deepen your understanding of its history, and call you to stand for truth in a world upside down.
