In this episode of Hebrew Voices, A Sober Purim in Jerusalem, Nehemia visits with Rabbi "Big" Mike Gondelman to learn about the Jewish approach to treating alcoholism. The conversation opens with profound insights into the character of the Persian King Ahasuerus whose alcohol-driven binges nearly resulted in the total annihilation of the Jewish People. After hearing this interview, you will never look at Purim, alcoholism, or Alcoholics Anonymous the same way again.
I look forward to reading your comments!
On Yom Kippur 1973, while Jews throughout Israel were fasting and praying in synagogues, Syria and Egypt launched an unprovoked surprise attack. At the outbreak of the war Israel’s tanks were outnumbered 10:1. That was before before Iraq, Morocco, Jordan and Saudi Arabia also sent tanks to drive Israel into the sea! In this video I get choked up as I explain how Israel winning the Yom Kippur war, was nothing short of a miracle and a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
