🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes
This week, we welcome Rabbi and scribe Shmuel Bowman, Executive Director of Lifeshield, a nonprofit organization that places life-saving bomb shelters in critical locations across Israel. Since its founding after the Second Lebanon War, Lifeshield has helped deploy more than 1,000 accessible shelters, protecting tens of thousands of Israelis in vulnerable communities. Shmuel will share how this urgent work continues amid war, what Israelis are facing emotionally and spiritually, and how America’s alliance with Israel plays a vital role in confronting the Islamic Republic of Iran. We’ll also hear about Shmuel’s fascinating life as a Sofer STaM, an ordained Torah scribe, and his deep appreciation for the Hebrew letters.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes
🇮🇷 Iran & Terrorism Against Americans
A recent White House article outlines decades of Iranian regime terrorism targeting Americans, beginning after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/03/the-iranian-regimes-decades-of-terrorism-against-american-citizens/
📖 Teaching Segment: Minutia in Genesis
📜 Biblical Reflection — Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
- Scripture assumes God’s existence
- Echoed in:
- 📖 John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word
- 📖 Mark 1:1 – Beginning of the gospel
- 📖 John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word
🏛️ Faith & Western Civilization
Dennis Prager – If There Is No God…
Key argument:
Without God → Who defines good and evil?
Observations:
- ⚔️ The 20th century (most secular) was also the bloodiest
- ~150 million civilians killed under Nazism & Communism
Margaret Thatcher:
“The moral foundation of this system is the Judeo-Christian outlook… each person matters.”
Concern:
Shift from values (“I must”) → feelings (“I want”)
Key question:
❓ Is Western civilization weakening because Genesis 1:1 is being forgotten?

🎭 A Freilichen Purim!
You Can Trust the New Testament!
Teacher: Dr. Dan Wallace
📆 March 12
What it’s about:
You’ve probably heard the objections: “We don’t have the originals,” “The manuscripts contradict each other,” or “The New Testament has been changed so many times.” Dr. Wallace has spent decades studying these claims, and in this class he walks us through what the evidence actually shows. If you’ve ever had doubts—or simply want clarity and confidence in the reliability of the New Testament—this class is for you.

📖 Teaching Segment: Minutia in Genesis
Led Zeppelin, “Stairway to Heaven,” and Genesis 28
- Reference the song “Stairway to Heaven” sung by Robert Plant
- Connect it creatively to Jacob’s ladder in Genesis 28:10–22
Jacob’s Story (Genesis 28)
- Traveling to find a wife; stops in the middle of nowhere
- Uses a stone for a pillow
- Dreams of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven
- Angels ascending and descending
- The LORD at the top, reaffirming the Abrahamic promise
Jacob’s Response
- “The Lord is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
- Calls it the gate of heaven
- Declares the place awesome in the true sense
- Turns the pillow-stone into a pillar
- Anoints it
- Names it Bethel (“House of God”)
- Makes a conditional vow:
- If God is with me
- If God keeps me
- If God provides bread
- If God returns me in peace
→ Then the LORD will be my God
- If God is with me
New Testament Bridge — John 1
- Jesus says of Nathanael: “An Israelite in whom there is no Jacob (no deceit).”
- John 1:51: “You will see heaven opened and angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Point:
In Genesis, the angels move on a ladder.
In John, the angels move on Jesus.
Jesus is the ladder—He is the connection between heaven and earth.
Babel vs Bethel
- Babel: man tries to climb to heaven
- Bethel: God opens heaven down to man
Moments When Heaven Opens in Scripture
- John 1:51 – Angels ascending/descending on the Son of Man
- Jesus’ baptism: Matthew 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:21
- Acts 7:55–56 – Stephen sees Jesus standing at God’s right hand
- Revelation 4:1 – A door opens in heaven
- Revelation 19:11 – Heaven opens, white horse revealed
- Ezekiel 1:1 – Heavens opened, visions of God
