Welcome to a new season of Nourish Your Biblical Roots, Holy Land Digs! Throughout these eight episodes, we’ll journey across Israel, exploring the places where biblical history unfolded, uncovering remarkable stories from the past, and discovering how the ancient Holy Land continues to bring the Bible to life today.

In our first episode, we begin in Jerusalem—the Holy City that has stood at the heart of Jewish faith for thousands of years. From the Mount of Olives to the ancient City of David, we’ll explore the biblical history of Jerusalem, discover how King David made it Israel’s capital, and uncover fascinating archaeological discoveries that connect us to the people who walked its streets thousands of years ago.

We’ll hear teachings from Fellowship Founder Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, of blessed memory, and Fellowship President and Global CEO Yael Eckstein, who tells of her family’s remarkable 11-generation connection to Jerusalem—including a touching story about the fulfillment of a centuries-old dream.

Finally, we’ll discover how Jerusalem has remained at the center of Jewish prayer and longing through generations of exile, and reflect on the beautiful promise of peace and restoration found in the words of the prophet Zechariah.

Join us as we explore the city where ancient history, living faith, and God’s promises come together—and discover why Jerusalem continues to inspire people of faith around the world.
