Kamal Saleem Part 1

I had a wonderful opportunity to meet Kamal Saleem in November when I went to the Messianic Leaders Roundtable in Phoenix, AZ.   He is a wonderful man.   You will love hearing his story.   I aired part one today and will air part two next week.

Kamal was born to a large Sunni Muslim family in the heart of the Middle East. Kamal was recruited by the Muslim Brotherhood at an early age and completed his first mission to Israel at the age of seven. Kamal was also recruited by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (The PLO) and other radical Muslim groups. Kamal left his family and home in the Middle East as a young man to enter his mission field: the United States. He brought with him a tremendous passion to convert as many Christians and Jews as possible for the glory of Allah. He implemented his plan, and worked effectively in what we now know as “Stealth” cultural Jihad (Al-Kitmen). Kamal came to faith in Messiah Yeshua and now his hearts cry is to reach a lost and oppressed people with education, relationship, and prayer through the truth and liberty of Yeshua. His ministry is teaching the redeeming power of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Their mission is to see ISHMAEL REDEEMED.

Shoshanna Meyerson Interview

Here's a fun interview with Shoshanna Meyerson.  Shoshanna was raised Catholic and as a young woman, she went to an Evangelical service at a Presbyterian Church, and while there she met the Messiah. She was radically transformed and cleansed.  Later she married a Jewish man, Rabbi Andy, and discovered the Jewish roots of her faith. She has had many miraculous experiences. God is doing exciting things at their multiple congregations in the Carolinas today.

Enjoy wonderful music from Lamb, Israel's Hope, Rivka Whitten, Avner and Rachel Boskey, Karen Davis, and Liberated Wailing Wall.

Vinu Goldberg Interview

Today was the first time I ever aired an interview of someone who was raised in the Hindu faith and came to know Yeshua!

You've heard many interviews with Rabbi Ron Goldberg, now hear from his "better half," Vinu!

Vinu was raised in a Hindu family in Oneonta, NY. When she was a teenager, Vinu took a job at Burger King. Although it was not the place you’d expect to find someone from a Hindu family, God was clearly leading her steps.

Vinu began a friendship with Theresa, a Christian co-worker at Burger King. Theresa was going through a very tough time in life, but had a peace that caught Vinu’s attention. Also, one day at work many people talked to her about a special event at a local park. Vinu had no idea what this event was, but since so many people talked about it, Vinu attended this special event.

The stories Vinu heard that day opened her eyes to what Yeshua did for her. As a result, Vinu began a journey with Yeshua that continues to this day. In 1992 God arranged Vinu’s marriage to Ron Goldberg, a Messianic Jewish rabbi working at Congregation Shema Yisrael.

Enjoy the music of Jonathan Settel, Paul Wilbur, Israel's Hope and Joel Chernoff!

Rabbi Ruth Fleischer Interview

Today's program featured a pre-recorded interview with Dr. Ruth Fleischer, a Messianic Rabbi from London, England.  Ruth taught from 1976 to 2005, at the Messiah Conference of the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA). She has taught courses in Messianic Jewish history and theology under the IAMCS Yeshiva Program, and on a whole range of theological and biblical subjects for the UBMJC rabbinic education program. Ruth is also a guest lecturer on the history of Messianic Judaism for the University of Wales and All Nations College, a speaker at the conference of the Messianic Jewish Alliance of France and at conferences in the Netherlands and has spoken at many events in the Messianic movement worldwide.

Rabbi Eric Lakatos Interview

Today I had the privilege to speak with Rabbi Eric Lakatos.  Rabbi Eric is committed to Messianic Jewish revival, seeing Jewish and non-Jewish people discipled as believers in the Messiah, and building the Messianic Jewish community here in Cleveland.

Prior to his rabbinical career in ministry and his faith, Rabbi Eric was born and raised in a secular Jewish home in Toledo, Ohio. While the family did not discuss their background, Eric grew up hearing stories from his grandmother, Lucille (Forman) Lakatos, about his heritage. As Rabbi Eric shares: "Lakatos is a Hungarian ethnic name, and it means 'locksmith.' My grandfather was born in Budapest. Our lineage was kept mostly quiet growing up, that is until I came to believe in Yeshua, and then my heritage took on a whole new meaning for me and my family."

At age 18, Eric was introduced to the Good News of Messiah Yeshua and received his faith in Him. Afterwards, he began his biblical studies at Southwestern Assemblies of God University, and the IAMCS Yeshiva; he also carries a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. In 1997, he became the rabbi of Adat Adonai Messianic Jewish Synagogue in Toledo, Ohio; he was licensed by the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues (IAMCS); and he served Adat Adonai for five years. He later relocated to Cincinnati; attended Beth Messiah Messianic Synagogue; and studied under Rabbi Michael Wolf who himself was a disciple of Martin Chernoff, whom is considered a Pioneer and founder of Beth Messiah and of the modern Messianic Jewish Movement in America.
In 2008, Rabbi Eric became the leader of Tikvat Yisrael Messianic Synagogue. In 2010, he launched "Light to the Nations," a teaching ministry to all believers sharing the Good News of Messiah, the Jewish Roots of the Faith and the Restoration of Israel.

In 2013, Rabbi Eric was given Smicha (the laying on of hands) and is an ordained rabbi within the IAMCS.
