Herzl’s House, Mourning Jerusalem, the Value of the Soul, and Challish (Episode #258)
This week on The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris gives listeners an update on his health and recovery, and Steve joins him for a wide-ranging conversation about Jewish history, faith, and the enduring connection of the Jewish people to their homeland. They discuss the surprising fate of Theodor Herzl’s former home, which has become a pizzeria, before turning to Tisha B’Av—the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. Chris and Steve explain the tragedies traditionally remembered on the ninth of Av, including the destruction of both Temples in Jerusalem, the defeat of the Bar Kochba revolt, and the expulsions of Jewish communities from England and Spain. They also revisit the famous story of Napoleon recognizing that a people who mourned Jerusalem for nearly 2,000 years would surely one day return.
The conversation also explores several powerful questions Jesus asked, including, “Who do you say I am?” and “What can a man give in exchange for his soul?” Chris and Steve consider what these questions reveal about faith, doubt, identity, and the eternal value of the soul. Plus, they discuss wooden beams believed to date to the First Temple period, controversial comments about religious Zionists serving in Israel’s military, developments involving the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon, and President Trump’s comments concerning Benjamin Netanyahu. Listeners will also learn the Yiddish word challish, meaning faint or weak with hunger, and hear how they can receive free pro-Israel stickers, become a free FOI Equipper, and join upcoming classes studying the Bible from a Jewish perspective.

🕎 Yiddish Word of the Day
- Challish—pronounced KHAH-lish. It means to feel faint, weak, or completely drained, usually because you are extremely hungry. In other words, it is how Chris felt after going five days without eating following surgery! You might say, “Get that man a sandwich—he’s about to go challish!”
