There are places in the Bible that have really exciting stories that you've never even heard about.

You know, And we're going to be talking with Aaron Lipkin today about some of those very, very exciting Bible stories.

Let's call them backstories because whoever talks about a man

named Cicera. Well, we're going to talk about Cicero today. And it's wonderful to have

Aaron Lipkin with us today. Aaron has brought with him a couple of really interesting books by a man named Adam

Zertal. And you knew Adam Zertal. He passed away not too long ago. And let's acquaint our

audience with this man because he really had some marvelous ideas.

Yes, he did. Marvelous ideas and a really

amazing life. I want to first start with my personal testimony. Growing up in Jerusalem as a kid,

we were brought up believing that God exists, that God has providence over our lives, over the lives of our nation, over the history of the world.

And we had a lot of respect towards the Bible. The Bible for us was not just a book of laws, a book of prophecies, but also a book of history. It described events

that we wholeheartedly believed happened. And I remember going to high school, unfortunately,

in the school I went to, which was not a religious school, it was a secular school, the teacher

taught us that the Bible was not true, that the stories there never happened or are inaccurate

or distorted. And I remember as a kid, as a Bible believer, a Jew that believes in God,

to hear that

being said in the classroom

at a Jewish school, in

Jerusalem, in the land of

Israel, the land of the Bible, was

for me infuriating.

How can my teacher talk like that?
