Earlier this week, Henry Kissinger, a former U.S. Secretary of State and national security advisor, passed away at the age of 100. While he left mixed feelings on his actions over the course of his career, there’s no question that Kissinger had left an influential mark on politics

Kissinger was actually the first Jewish Secretary of State when he was sworn into office, which would later become a pressure point to the Nixon administration, becoming a key factor on said pressure with Israel when it came to withdraw from approaching Cairo and Damascus during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

But the interesting thing is how Kissinger’s passing actually relates to current politics. Antony Blinken, also Jewish, now serves as Secretary of State, and is actually visited Israel this week to meet with leaders over the ongoing ceasefire in the war against Hamas.

The reason this comes up is because of the pressure that now comes from the Biden administration, though on a much different level than what Nixon’s did, in regards to the message they’re trying to convey. Not to mention the significance of their involvement in the 2024 Presidential election, which will no doubt draw both pro-Israel voters, as well as millions of Jews and Christians.

With us now to talk about Kissinger’s legacy and how it has these interesting ties with the modern political scene is Jonathan Feldstein, a key Israeli figure and founder of the Genesis 123 Foundation (based on Genesis 12:3). His expertise in what’s happening in Israel should prove useful with this discussion. We welcome him to the show.

About Jonathan Feldstein…

Jonathan lives in Israel and has a son and son-in-law currently serving in the IDF. He has established an emergency fund through his Genesis 123 Foundation:

Israel has suffered barrages of thousands of rockets and missiles fired at Israeli communities creating death, damage, injuries, fear and trauma. The security threats, deaths, injuries, and trauma are at a level unseen in years.

The Genesis 123 Foundation is standing in the gap to provide emergency needs including civilian security, soldiers’ welfare, those suffering trauma, people whose homes have been destroyed, and emergency medical needs.

Every donation of any size makes a huge difference. https://love.genesis123.co/

Jonathan Feldstein is president and founder of The Genesis 123 Foundation. Jonathan was born and educated in the U.S. and immigrated to Israel in 2004. He is married and the father of six.

Throughout his life and career, he has been blessed by the calling to fellowship with Christians to serve as a bridge between Jews and Christians and to help connect Christians to Israel in a meaningful way.

Established shortly after, as an effort to provide support from the U.S. to the Israeli hospital,
American Friends of Rabin Medical Center, is proud to celebrate 20 years of growth and
success on November 23rd as we host our 16th Annual Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street.
Charlie Rose returns as Master of Ceremonies for the 6
th year and will be joined by the
Honorable, Henry Kissinger in an exclusive on stage interview. Today’s headlines are an
appropriate reminder of the importance of Rabin’s efforts to bring peace to Israel. As we honor
the memory of Yitzhak Rabin, Kissinger, whom Rabin considered both a friend and role model,
will share his personal experience of their working together on this joint goal towards peace.
Prime Minister Rabin was respected by many, including honorary event chairs, Consul General
Ido Aharoni, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Tovah
Feldshuh, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Charles Schumer, Professor Elie Wiesel, and
Mortimer Zuckerman. And he was truly admired by President William J. Clinton. With the
support of these and many others, what started as small gatherings and parlor meetings in DC,
AFRMC has emerged as an influencer of U.S. contributions to Israel, ensuring that Rabin
Medical Center remains at the top of the Medical Industry in the Middle East and worldwide.
In 20 years American Friends of Rabin Medical Center’s successes include:
 The expansion of the Davidoff Cancer Center, which is in plans to double its size by
2017

Outing that focuses to raise Breast, Ovarian and Prostate Cancer awareness and funds
for Rabin Medical Center, a leader in BRCA testing for both Men and Women.

of the Rabin Medical exchange program.
 The medical advances in Israel, as Rabin Medical Center doctors participate in
developing new technologies
