Today I interviewed Arlene Bridges Samuels. Arlene pioneered Christian outreach for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). After she served nine years on AIPAC’s staff, International Christian Embassy Jerusalem USA engaged her as Outreach Director part-time for their project, American Christian Leaders for Israel. Arlene is now an author at The Blogs-Times of Israel. She writes a weekly column for CBNisrael.org. Arlene wrote a great piece on the Menorah as Israel’s National Symbol for CBN. Hannukah kicked off yesterday and so I wanted our listeners to have a better idea about the Menorah with its long tradition and meaning. Romans 13:12: “The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.”
