About this episode

Ruby Bishai shares his family's story and his work in bridging cultures between Arab and Jewish youth in Israel.

Why would an Arab Israeli grandfather learn Yiddish—the language of European Jews—and teach it to his grandson? This surprising story comes from this week’s guest speaker, Ruby Bishai, an Arab Israeli Christian. Ruby shared powerful stories from his family, his work in a Messianic Jewish ministry serving Arab and Jewish youth, and his passion to bridge and restore.
