The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network.

My guest, an Orthodox Jew living in Israel, is making a plea for the freeing of the hostages.

It's time for the line of fire with your host, biblical scholar and cultural commentator Dr. Michael

Brown, your voice for moral sanity and spiritual clarity. Call 866-34 Truth to get on the line of

fire. And now, here's your host, Dr. Michael Brown. Friends, once again, we are here for such a time as this.

Once again, we are here at a critical time in world history, a critical

time in the history of the Jewish people, a critical time for all those in the Middle East and

the world right now. Call a friend, tell them to tune in. If you're listening after the show by

podcast, share it with a friend. If you're watching on YouTube, Facebook, click thumbs up,

click like, and share it with others. Urgent matters that we need to discuss today. Life and

death matters that concern all of us. My guest, Jonathan Feldstein, is in Israel. He's become a

real good friend in recent years. I love his spirit,

his attitude. He is an Orthodox Jew, me as a Messianic Jew, with some of the things that

could separate us. We come together very deeply over the things that unite us, and he works to

build a bridge between Jews and Christians, and is engaged in yet another urgent matter right now.

So much to talk about.

Jonathan, thanks so much for joining us today from Israel.

Wow, it's always a delight.

It's good to hear your voice, and yes, I'm blessed by our friendship.

So, Jonathan, before we talk about this initiative to free the hostages,

just tell me how this,

the tragic events of the last five-plus weeks have affected you and your family directly.
