Description
On this episode of Promised Land, host Mike Cosper considers the sites that carry great religious importance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. He speaks with Yehuda Glick, who worked for the Ministry of Immigration when Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005 and is known for his strong stances on settlements and his actions on the Temple Mount. Listeners will hear from Ari Abramowitz—one of the founders of Arugot Farm, a frontier settlement, organic farm, and retreat center in the West Bank—about his work, desire for peace, and thoughts on the October 7th Hamas attacks. Cosper also talks with a land developer who purchased a property on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple Mount and decided it would be the perfect location for the Red Heifer ceremony. Not sure what that ceremony is? Don’t worry. This episode covers that, too. Tune in for an episode that dives deep into place, people, and purpose. “Promised Land” is a limited series exploring the moral, spiritual, and political challenges presented by the Israel-Hamas war.
