This Resolution was the Partition Plan that allowed for the creation of a Jewish state in the area that at that time was called the British Mandate. Go back in time and relive this amazing moment in human history as Chris looks at the creation of the state of Israel.

Apples of Gold–"So long our hopes are not yet lost." (@18:52)
In this dramatic retelling from the life of Holocaust survivor Zvi Kalisher, Zvi talks about Deuteronomy 20:1, which says, “Do not be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you.”

Zvi knew that truth ultimately conquers, and he considered it an obligation to reach out to the new immigrants in Israel that came from the Soviet Union. Hear how Zvi comforted them with the Word of God and prayed that the Lord alone would be their guide and lead them to truth.

Music
The Friends of Israel Today and Apples of Gold theme music was composed and performed by Jeremy Strong.
