Why does it seem that more Christians are turning against the Jewish people?

In this thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with Messianic Jewish author, speaker, and founder of Shalom in Messiah, Olivier Melnick, to explore one of the most difficult questions facing the Church today.

Together we discuss:
• Why antisemitism has never truly disappeared
• The spiritual battle behind antisemitism
• Replacement theology and its impact on the Church
• Why many Christians are distancing themselves from Israel and the Jewish people
• What Scripture actually says about God's covenant with Israel
• Practical ways Christians can stand with and support the Jewish community today

Whether you're Jewish, Christian, or simply searching for truth, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, open the Bible, ask difficult questions, and seek understanding with humility and grace.

I pray this episode encourages you to study God's Word for yourself and to be a bridge of understanding in a world that often chooses division.

People say Jews are white Europeans. Tali Aynalem is Ethiopian, Israeli, and Jewish.

In this episode of The Bridge, Tali shares the remarkable story of Ethiopian Jews, her life in Israel, and why she has chosen to use her voice to speak out against antisemitism, misinformation, and the growing misconceptions surrounding Jewish identity and the Jewish homeland.

Many people have never heard the story of the Beta Israel community or the extraordinary efforts that brought thousands of Ethiopian Jews home to Israel. Tali helps us better understand that history while also discussing the challenges of navigating today's social media landscape, where false narratives often spread faster than truth.

We discuss:

🔹 The history of Ethiopian Jews (Beta Israel)
🔹 Operation Moses and Operation Solomon
🔹 Growing up Ethiopian and Israeli
🔹 Antisemitism and misinformation online
🔹 Misconceptions about Jews, Israel, race, and identity
🔹 Why understanding history matters
🔹 The importance of speaking truth with courage

Whether you're Jewish, Christian, or simply someone seeking to better understand these issues, this conversation offers a perspective that many people have never heard and a reminder of the importance of seeking truth rather than repeating assumptions.

In this episode of The Bridge, I sit down with Ethel Chadwick, host of Bagels & Blessings, worship leader, author, and longtime voice in the Messianic Jewish community.

Raised in a traditional Jewish home, Ethel never expected that opening a New Testament would change the course of her life. What began as curiosity led her to discover something she had never been told—that Jesus, His disciples, and the earliest believers were Jewish.

Together we discuss:
• Ethel's journey to faith in Yeshua (Jesus)
• Discovering the Jewishness of Jesus
• Why so many people miss the Jewish context of Scripture
• The connection between Jews and Gentiles in God's family
• The growth of the Messianic Jewish movement
• Finding community, healing, and purpose in Messiah
• Why understanding our faith's Jewish roots matters

Whether you're Jewish, Christian, both, neither, or simply searching, this conversation is an invitation to explore the rich biblical context that helps bring Scripture to life.
