The Hebrew word for brother is ach. In everyday Hebrew, you will often hear the word achi, which is a contraction of ach and sheli, and means “my brother.” Often, this term doesn’t only refer to blood relatives but also to close friends who have forged a tight bond. According to the King James Bible Dictionary, the word brother is used 367 times in Scripture. Given the frequency of use, it seems clear that God values the bonds of brotherhood and unity.

“My grandmother is older than Israel.”
That’s a common buzz phrase for the anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian establishment, who point to the 1948 rebirth of the modern State of Israel as if the country had spawned out of nowhere. While it’s true that Israel as we know her today celebrated her 76th birthday this year, her rather recent official formation is actually not an anomaly in the region. Israel’s neighbors like Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq were all born around the same time as the Jewish State. Moreover, all these nations owe their formal formation to a similar set of circumstances.
But to understand the modern Middle East, we need to trace history back to antiquity.
National Director of Bridges for Peace USA, Patrick Verbeten and Planned Giving Manager, Andy Benedick talk through recent Israel events and how your year-end donations and planned gifts can sustain our impact in 2025.
