Speaker 0 argues we are at the cusp of a new age and will achieve the expansion of peace, stating that together we can lead this and become not a secondary power, but a primary power in the advance of humanity. Speaker 1 emphasizes living in a time of miracles and unprecedented opportunities, and identifies the challenge as leveraging Israel's successes into our successes and victories here because we are one people. They say Israel's weakness is ours and Israel's strength is ours, and that now Israel has turned the entire geopolitical situation on its head, so the diaspora must leverage those wins and win here. Speaker 2 notes, in response, to skip Miami and go straight to Israel if leaving New York. They describe an Israeli economy undergoing a transformation, not only high-tech-led but with a built finance sector. They mention new tax laws and regulatory relaxation, with hedge funds set up in Israel in Q1 so Israel can become another capital of finance, potentially beating London within a short decade. They describe Israel as a gateway to the world: New York as a gateway to America, Hong Kong to China, Dubai to Southeast Asia, and IMEC running through Israel, with opportunities being limitless. They forecast building a trillion-dollar economy over the next decade and present a choice: stay in New York in a declining empire or come to Israel, which is part of the rising middle of the world moving south and east. Speaker 3 recalls a mission to bring a million immigrants to Israel, stating the need for those million olim to maintain Israel’s demographic balance, noting that the Soviet Jews who came saved the country and that it is necessary to save the country again. Speaker 4 reflects on the transformation of the American Jewish condition over the past two years and the anxiety over rising antisemitism. They contend that the only serious answer is to believe again that being Jewish is the most important thing in the world and in our lives, arguing that American society allowed Jews to live normal lives for decades, which was a pleasant holiday from destiny, but the holiday is over. They urge not lamenting fate but heeding the summons, shedding Jewish stars or wearing them with purpose, and embracing the truth that the Jewish people are not normal, never really were. They call for a great Jewish awakening to continue in strength.

A partnership between Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Friends of Zion Museum led to an unprecedented visit, marking the first time Israel officially partnered with 1,000 strategic pastors to commission them as ambassadors to combat antisemitism and reach the youth of their generation. Dr. Mike Evans states that Israel's fight is not just on the battlefield, and that there is currently an ideological war that Israel's losing, so they need the evangelicals and the Zionists to fight an ideological war. One of the gathering's goals is to strengthen Christian support during a time of growing global antisemitism, with the message that the pulpit must speak louder than the propaganda. A speaker emphasizes that pastors should go to their pulpits to speak with clarity and boldness, pushing back on the antisemitism and bigotry directed toward Jewish people and toward the people of Israel. Another speaker notes that the pulpit has become quiet about these issues, and that cultural voices have spoken louder than pastors on these topics, making it motivating to return to the message of who Israel is to the Lord and to reaffirm Christians’ role in supporting and praying for Israel. There is a concern about a growing cancer within the evangelical movement in America, where people think Israel doesn’t matter and that nothing biblical supports the relationship to Israel, which is described as very dangerous. Ambassador Huckabee, a former pastor, warns of rising danger in the church, arguing that the idea that God will break His covenant or has broken His covenant with the Jewish people borders on blasphemy, because if God will break His covenant with the Jewish people, he questions what would prevent Him from breaking His covenant with Christians as well.

I can't go back to my home, which I last saw from the Lebanon-Israel border in 2018 with my family. I showed my children the hospital, school, and church built by their grandparents, but they will never see them. Wealth means little if you can't provide your children with a safe country. In America, we strive for success and kindness, but we must also be wise. While we aim to do good, we must recognize and confront the encroachment of evil in our society. It’s uncomfortable, but we must identify and uproot it from our communities and colleges to live in peace with people of all faiths.

Speaker 0: Were I a Jew, I would be a Zionist. And my father pointed out to me, I did not need to be a Jew to be a Zionist, for I am. Israel is essential to security of Jews worldwide. Speaker 1: That this is not theoretical. This is not just about things that happen on Twitter. Antisemitism kills. Hate kills. Speaker 2: I come before you not only as The United States Secretary of State, but also as a Jew. My grandfather, Maurice Blinken, fled pogroms in Russia. My stepfather, Samuel Pizar, survived concentration camps, Auschwitz, Dachau, Maidanic. Speaker 3: We have a common agenda to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and preventing Iran's aggression, maintaining the security and prosperity of this region, and seeking to expand the circle of peace. Speaker 4: On October 7, Hamas terrorists murdered nearly 1,200 people, including over 40 Americans, and kidnapped hundreds of civilians. They perpetrated the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Speaker 5: Holocaust. Holocaust. My grandfather fled Nazi Germany. Fled Nazi Germany. If we wanna create peace in the Middle East, resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, we don't need boycotts. We need business. We don't need divestment. We need investment. We don't need sanctions. We need startups. We need startups. They met with several Israeli companies looking to expand into The United States. Speaker 1: Actual, literal, no shit, Jews will not replace us anti Semites as very fine people. Speaker 6: I support Israel's ability to defend itself. Speaker 7: It's about time we stop those of us who support as most of us do, Israel and this body for apologizing for our support for Israel. There's no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3,000,000,000 investment we make. $3,000,000,000 investment we make. Speaker 8: two of us were brought together by Apex Education Foundation for a mission to Israel. We hear the call of our Jewish brothers and sisters. Israel was this place I had always felt an, I don't know, unexplainable pull. Speaker 5: And the Jewish people have been the recipients of boycotts for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Speaker 6: So I just had a frank and constructive meeting with prime minister Netanyahu. I told him that I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Speaker 3: Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders. Speaker 9: Why does Israel need our help? We need to get out of their way. Speaker 6: I've said it many times, but it bears repeating. Israel has a right to defend itself. Speaker 2: The message that I bring to Israel is this. You may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself, but as long as America exists, you will never ever have to. We will always be there by your side. Speaker 1: He is a friend of the Jewish people by aligning not even with Israel, but with a certain kind of politics within Israel. And I just think that the American Jewish community are a lot smarter than that. Speaker 7: And even suggested breaking from the long standing US policies on settlements. Jerusalem. Jerusalem. Speaker 9: I was one of the few in congress that said it's none of our business, and Israel should take care of themselves. Speaker 8: Perhaps he does not know that I am the child of a holocaust survivor. Perhaps he does not know that my mother lost almost all her family at the hands of the Nazis. At the hands of the Nazis. Speaker 9: Israel has 200, 300 nuclear missiles, they can take care of themselves. Why should we commit? We don't even have a treaty with Israel. We don't even have a treaty with Israel. Speaker 7: Were there not an Israel, The United States Of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region. Speaker 9: Why why do we have this automatic commitment that we're gonna send our kids and send our money endlessly, to to Israel?

Humanity rises and falls as one. We are living in difficult times with a lot of "rubbishes" in terms of ideas, ethnicities, and identities. This is a time where we can use more moral imagination and imagine ourselves being connected with one another. This message is particularly important because of conflict and geopolitical tensions outside of Harvard. It is also especially important in Harvard because students can be very emotionally charged and deeply care about a lot of issues, making it easy to demonize another person.

The discussion opens with Speaker 0 noting that the first foreign visit by a New York City mayor is significant and asks where each candidate would go first. Speaker 1 (Cuomo) replies, “First visit, I would visit The Holy Land.” Speaker 2, addressing hostility and antisemitism in New York, adds, “Given the hostility and the antisemitism that has been shown in New York, I would go to Israel.” Speaker 0 then directs the question to Speaker 2 (Tilson). Tilson responds, “Yeah. I’d make my fourth trip to Israel followed by my fifth trip to Ukraine, two of our greatest allies fighting on the front lines of the global war on terror.” Speaker 0 moves to Speaker 3 (Mamdani), who says, “I would stay in New York City. My plans are to address New Yorkers across the five boroughs and focus on that.” Speaker 4 interjects with a follow-up to Mamdani: “Mister Mamdani, can I just jump in? Would you visit Israel… as mayor?” Mamdani answers that as mayor, “I'll be doing as the mayor, I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers, I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform because, ultimately, we need to focus on delivering on their concerns.” The conversation then covers a direct question: “And just yes or no, do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel?” Mamdani replies, “I believe Israel has the right to exist.” Speaker 4 counters, “Not Israel. State?” Mamdani responds, “Notice. As a state with equal rights.” Speaker 1 presses Mamdani further, noting, “He won't he won't say it has a right to exist. Does a Jewish state be very clear?” Speaker 2 adds, “Answer was no. He won't visit Israel.” Mamdani claims, “I I said that That's what he was trying to say. No. Unlike you, I answered unlike you, I answered the question directly. Alright.” The conversation then shifts to Speaker 5, who shares a personal rationale: “My my goal would be to take my first trip to Israel. My wife's life work in this area means a lot to our family, and it could coincide with my young son, Miles, bar mitzvah, if you'd like to have his bar mitzvah.” Speaker 2 interjects briefly, “Okay. But” before the excerpt ends.

The Jewish connection to refugee aid is not a conspiracy, but a point of pride. HIAS, an organization that Robert Bowers criticized, brought people like Sergei Brin to the U.S. HIAS started in the 1880s to help Jews fleeing Eastern European pogroms, and now aids Jews and non-Jews globally. A Jewish man from Cairo recounted being helped after the 1967 war. The speaker notes that the synagogue participated in Refugee Shabbat and exemplified Jewish values. Welcoming the stranger, especially the most vulnerable like refugees, is considered a sacred Jewish value.

Speaker 0 expresses a view on religion and national character, saying: “if a country doesn't have religion, doesn't have faith, doesn't have God, it's gonna be very hard to be a good country.” He adds, “This It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians.” He states, “I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian.” He admits doubt about heaven: “I don't think there's anything gonna get me in heaven. Okay? I really don't. I think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly an air force, but I'm not sure I I'm gonna be able to make heaven.” He claims to have been “really saved” by “somebody very special,” and repeats: “A high beak. A high beak. A high beak.” Speaker 1 recounts the presidential oath ceremony: “When US President Donald Trump took its oath of office, he had his right hand raised, but his left wasn't on the Bible. But does it matter? Academics tell Reuters that it was an oversight and it doesn't have much practical impact, although the moment has gone viral online.” A professor is quoted that “the oath is to the constitution.” He notes that “Two bibles were held by Trump's wife Melania as she stood next to him at the ceremony.” Speaker 2 presents claims about Trump’s faith: “Trump converted to Judaism two years ago and joined Chabad Lubavitch Synagogue in New York City according to a high level White House official.” A figure named Mister Goldberg says the story has allegedly been held by CNN's editors for months, but will be released soon. David Elias Goldberg, a fellow at the Jewish Center of Antisemitic Study, has also interviewed the White House source. The source says Trump was pushed by Ivanka and Jared Kushner to join the faith; Trump initially resisted, fearing it would threaten his evangelical Christian base, but then changed his mind and “officially converted in early two thousand seventeen.” The ceremony was private and guarded for nearly two years. The White House appears prepared to release this information gradually, and by summer, Trump is expected to address his new faith in an evening televised news conference. He is described as “the most pro Israel president in the history of America,” having given Israel “every single thing that they wanted,” and being “about to give them war with Iran.” The question is raised: “Has he converted?” A Times of Israel article is cited: “Trump, the first Jewish president of The United States.” It is emphasized: “Now that's not us saying that. That's times of Israel.” The discussion notes that Times of Israel is a Jewish nation, and that “these people do like Israel.” Speaker 0 interjects: “Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.” Speaker 3 adds: “And he loves Israel too. Six years ago, I was up here. And I said, this is our first Jewish president. This is our first Jewish president. This is our first Jewish president. Not not consecutive. We”—and then Speaker 0 closes with: “thank you for everything, Joel. We thank you for everything.”

Speaker 0 believes America was founded on Judeo-Christian values and Israel on Father Abraham. It's important to educate future generations about this foundation, preaching, teaching, and researching it. Speaker 1 notes that people assume current trends will continue, questioning if the younger generation in Israel will fight for their country. However, they fought like lions, as the Bible says. Similarly, some worry about waning Christian support for Israel and commitment to traditional American values. Speaker 1 believes a change is happening with people seeking spiritual content and returning to religion. When they seek the wellsprings of civilization, they'll return to their roots in the land at the edge of Asia and the Mediterranean.

The speaker discusses the division in his family over establishing a national home in Israel. They talk about the eccentricities of Walter Rothschild and the crucial role his cousin Dorothy played in supporting Israel. The conversation also touches on the changes in Israel over the years, focusing on security, internal issues, and philanthropic projects. The speaker expresses hope for peaceful relationships with Israel's neighbors in the future.

Everything evolved around Israel, and the power was amazing. The speaker will be meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and President Obama will meet with him tomorrow. The speaker claims he was once called the first Jewish president. He says to stand up for Israel and look out for the rights of the Jewish people. He believes he could be elected prime minister of Israel today with 99% of the vote. When Israel is singled out because of anti-Jewish hatred, that is antisemitism. The speaker claims one does not need to be Jewish to be a Zionist. He states, "We're going to take back our country, and we're going to make Israel great again." He concludes, "We have to save Israel."

Speaker 0: They say Israel is the only place where we're respected and protected. Speaker 1: I can attest to that. I went to Israel, spent two weeks there with the church, and we had an incredible time. We had only one incident where a small child spit on one of the pastors and immediately after, there was an adult that came by and said, "That's not a representation of who we are. You know, we love you guys." "You guys are always welcome here." And I have to say, no adults gave us any grief. We had no issues whatsoever in our experience there. It was actually an amazing

After 09:11, I started reading the scary prophets that talked about what happens at the end of days. it's clear, and I checked it with different rabbis that you'll be safer in Israel than anywhere else in the world. I asked a very great rabbi, when do we go? when they start killing Jews in the street, get out. So every time I hear of an incident, and every time I hear they're killing Jews in the street, my rabbi's words resonate with me. I'm hoping and praying that we will be able to return soon. As my friend said, if you can't be there now, send them ahead. We have kids in Israel now and more on the way. And God willing, we too will follow. I hope this is not too apocalyptic to you, but history is unfolding before our eyes, and we can't turn away. I'm Laurie.

The speaker argues that American Jews are wrestling with a category they inherited from our European ancestors about 250 years ago. As Jews moved into modern nation-states and pursued secular jobs and secular education, they reimagined Judaism to fit in. Judaism was transformed into something like a Protestant-style religion: a framework that worked well for a long period, enabling Jews to participate in broader society. The speaker emphasizes that Jews are not merely a religion, nor are we a race or ethnicity. Instead, Jews are a nation, civilization, tribe, peoplehood, and above all, a family. Therefore, a young person in America who thinks Judaism is simply a Protestant religion risks viewing the 7,000,000 Jews in Israel as merely co-religionists. If that is the lens, the natural question becomes: what do you owe to them? It would be like telling a mainline, very progressive Protestant in Berkeley, California that they must care about a Pentecostal in Brazil. In that framing, it doesn’t make sense, because it’s a category error. The speaker clarifies that the people in Israel are not merely co-religionists; they are siblings. The danger lies in thinking of Israel's Jewish population primarily through the lens of shared religious practice. When that happens, there is a risk of sliding into anti-Zionism, because the fundamental, personal connection to Israel—as siblings within a broader Jewish family—gets diminished or lost if Israel is reduced to a subset of co-religionists who share a particular religious outlook or social-justice framework. Key contrasts highlighted include the historical adaptation that treated Judaism as a Protestant-style religion to fit into secular, modern-state life, versus the present understanding that Jewish identity encompasses nationhood, civilization, and family ties. The speaker suggests that recognizing Israel as part of a family, not just a co-religionist community, is essential to maintaining connections that are not solely defined by theological agreement or social-justice alignment but by a broader shared Jewish peoplehood.

Two thousand years of Christian history have been horrible to the Jewish people. Unspeakable atrocities have been committed against your family under the banner of the cross and in the name of Jesus. Even with many lifetimes of repentance, it would not be sufficient for all that has happened. Yet tonight there is a message: a new breed of Christian is alive in the world today. There is a new breed of Christian that says, along with you, for Zion's sake, I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake, I will not be still. We have been divided. There is fear. Evangelicals are all missionaries who want to return everyone to Jerusalem so the apocalypse can come, or to have nefesh ben nefesh have a good year so Jesus can return. We know the stereotypes. Jesus both unites and divides us. For Christians, Jesus is our favorite Jew; for most Jews, he’s the cousin you don’t talk about at Pesach. But in this pivotal moment of history, we have an opportunity not to be divided, but to be unified. Everyone in this room—Christian and Jew—prays for the same thing: the coming of Mashiach. May he come soon and quickly and in our day, so we can all sing. And when Mashiach comes, there will be a great press conference in Jerusalem. The BBC and the New York Times will not be invited. The Jerusalem Post will conduct the interview with Mashiach and ask, is this your first visit or your second? The answer will be yes. None of us need to be ashamed or embarrassed or wrong. We are together ascending the hill of the Lord. Until Mashiach comes, we must unite and work. We must become partners—evangelical Christians, eagle's wings, and Jews—as partners in the divine will, working as never before, because we face the same threat. We face radical Islamic ideology on one hand, and radical wokeism and communism on the other hand, an unholy alliance against Western civilization. Against that unholy alliance, there must be a holy alliance that arises of Jews and Christians working together for the betterment of all the human family. It must happen, and it must happen now. Speaker 1: I’m now going to invite CEO of the Jerusalem Post, Ibn Bar Ashkenazi, to give the Shield of David Award to Bishop Stearns.

Israel is praised for its moral actions despite the conflict with Palestinians. The speaker jokes about the number of Palestinians killed. They discuss the need for American support in various international arenas. Gratitude is expressed towards President Biden and the US Congress. The speaker believes that if Israel wins, it will benefit the civilized world. Personal growth is mentioned at the end.

Speaker 0: Future of Israel. I mean, something will happen in Iran. Maybe we'll succeed. Maybe we won't, but and that'll make it worse. But the demography seems terrible. Nobody sane seems to be procreating, and everybody getting sane in their own way seems to have five children. Whether it's Arabs or Orthodox, they have five children. If you're a regular Israeli, you have 1.5 children or two. Speaker 0: The Haredim are more productive than the Arabs. If we cancel some of the we had exponential support function for productivity. It's something bizarre. Rather to be an esker, we became exponential. And always when I meet a friend with three children, telling another two and you are deep into the social security trap, that's your job, you can sit idle. Speaker 0: No, I don't the future of Israel is waking up at the right moment before it's too late, putting your wedge on this drift along the slippery slope toward one state nation. First of all, because with one state nation, would be even faster. Yeah. It would be by nation at first, and then within the generation with an Arab majority. In fact, the minority with a sense of being kind of hybrid form, they excel in medicine therapy. Speaker 0: Then we have, I believe, we have to break the monopoly of the orthodox rabbinate on marriage and the funerals and whatever and the definition which and accept, open in a sophisticated subtle manner, open the gates from massive conversion into Judaism. It's a successful country. Many will apply at the beginning without making it, cannot make it a precondition, but under the social pressure, the need, especially of the second generation, to adapt, will happen. And we can control the quality, much more effective than our ancestors or the founding fathers of Israel could deal with the way that it was a kind of salvation way from Africa and Arabs or from whatever. They took whatever came to save people. Speaker 0: Now we can be selective. And

Over the past year and a half I became closer to Charlie Kirk, joining a group chat he called his 'brain trust.' We discussed Israel, Jewish–Christian relations, antisemitism. He was an adamant opponent of antisemitism. Campus talks exposed him to questions, including about the Talmud, and he provided 'very good answers'—'better answers than probably 98% of Jews probably could offer there.' We strategized to turn back the tide against rising antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment. Charlie said roughly half, 50% of the questions that he got asked were all on Israel, Jews. He organized a Zoom call the night before Utah Valley University event, the first stop of a tour, with me, Pesach Willicki, producers, and one Christian pastor. The fact that he was seeking our counsel... calls into question this narrative that he was getting ready to renounce his lifelong support for the Jewish people, for the state of Israel.

"But I also wanna point out that we have a major, major, major generational problem." "All the polling I've seen, ADL's polling, ICC's polling, independent polling suggests this is not a left right gap, folks." "The issue in The United States' support for Israel is not left and right." "It is young and old." "The numbers of young people looking to cabazes, you know, massacre was justified as shockingly and terrifyingly high." "We really have a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem that our community needs to put." "It's the wrong game." "Last week, I'll just say, we saw a dramatic change in the language of the activists here in America on October 8."

The Jewish connection to refugee aid is not a conspiracy, but a point of pride. HIAS, an organization that Robert Bowers criticized, was founded in the 1880s to assist Jews fleeing Eastern European pogroms and now aids Jews and non-Jews globally. A Jewish man from Cairo recounted being helped after the 1967 war. The speaker highlights that the synagogue participated in Refugee Shabbat, reflecting the Jewish value of welcoming strangers, especially the most vulnerable, like refugees.

I was once asked why evangelical Christians are so supportive of Jewish people and Israel. The answer is simple: you can be Jewish and have nothing to do with Christians, but I can't be Christian and not have everything to do with the Jewish people. My faith, scriptures, and everything I believe is built on that foundation. We are people of the book. If you read in Genesis that God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel, it becomes very clear.

Israeli leaders encouraged the pastors to be bold and express gratitude for their support. Stand up and be counted. Tell the truth. Speak to young people. Speak up and be counted. I'm counting on you, and I know you'll do what has to be done. That's what our destiny calls for. This is not just Israel's fight. This is a fight for civilization. We are facing very much a civilizational struggle like we saw in the thirties between Nazism and the free world. Today, that Nazism is Islamism in coordination with communism, which today's expression is called woke, but it's the same thing. Behind the scenes, Shira Mills of the Friends of Zion Museum helped make the summit possible. Never been done before. This is something very unique, very difficult, but here we are. From my point of view, it's miraculous. The vision going forward: recruiting 10,000 more pastors in the next thirty six months. Because there's a lot of misinformation out there, a lot of young people that are not for Israel, and they're just getting the wrong information. So our whole idea here is to reach the youth of America and around the world and just show the truth. With a thousand pastors gathered at such a critical moment for the nation of Israel, when antisemitism is rising in our nation and globally, this has been such a pivotal turning point. I believe we can turn the tide of antisemitism. A thousand pastors and leaders that didn't even know each other, and he called and we heard the word of the Lord. And this is a season to see antisemitism defeated and to see God's glory come to his chosen people.

Why is it that Jewish people in this country get blamed for what a nation on the other side of the world is doing constantly? He cites incidents: 'a couple weeks ago, we had, an individual show up at a synagogue in San Antonio with a knife, yelling at the people who came out of services, f all you Jews, go back to your country.' We had a Jewish man assaulted in broad daylight in San Francisco. He continues, 'Anti Zionism, I've long said is anti Semitism. I was wrong. Anti Zionism is genocide.' 'And what I mean is if you so dehumanize Zionists, by the way, every Jewish person is a Zionist.' 'So the idea that our national anthem would be the Hatikva, would be the hope. I should say our. It's the Israel's national anthem.'
