If you looked at a region plagued by war for thousands of years, what would you conclude? That peace is impossible? That conflict is inevitable?

That’s the case with the Middle East—a land soaked in blood and tears, going back to biblical times. From the battles around the Promised Land, to the destruction of the First and Second Temples, to the Crusades, to centuries of conflict between Muslims, Christians, and Jews—it seems like a region doomed to eternal strife.

And yet—that’s not the full story.

Yes, the Middle East has been the cradle of war. But it’s also the birthplace of the three great monotheistic faiths. And that is the key.

This is not just a geopolitical or territorial conflict. It is a spiritual one. And the true resolution will not come through politics or power—but through the fulfillment of a deeper, divine vision: a world of harmony, not just peace. Unity without erasing our differences. A time when "nation will not lift sword against nation," and Jerusalem will become a beacon of light for all humanity.

That is the end of the story.

Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in this vital conversation because the peace of the Middle East is not just their story—it’s all of ours.
