Important News From Hatikva Ministries
Shavuot on Arba4
Shalom everyone, I trust all of you had a wonderful Passover and are looking forward to Shavuot. I am very excited to announce to you that Debbie and I have done four special programs (each divided into 2 smaller segments) on this wonderful festival which can be seen on Arba4. I think these Shavuot sessions are some of the best programs that we have ever presented. The first program is up now so give it a look and let us know what you think. http://arba4.com/
The War on Judaism DVD Set
In our last newsletter we announced the releasing of a new set, The War on Judaism, available on DVD.
This two DVD set addresses some of the anti-semitic attitudes all of us experience from time to time. These teachings will help you to realize where you stand in relation to Hashem, Israel and Torah and help give you the tools for coping with a cruel, vicious and misguided world.

An update on our Upcoming episode on The Naked Archeologist
As many of you know last April and May Nolan Armstrong and I went to Israel and London to film for the popular History Channel show “The Naked Archeologist.” Many of you have asked when the program will air. I called their office today and was told that they have just finished editing the new programs for the coming season. All the programs have to be sent to the History Channel. These should be sent in the next few days. At that point the History Channel will decide when to put them into their schedule. Instead of two programs which we were expecting there will only be one, but I am told it is very good. We do not expect them to air before September.
The Gates on Arba4
Currently I am teaching on “Separating Between the Holy and the Mundane.” This is one of the most important messages of the Tanach and the Kohanim of the Temple were commanded to teach the people this Biblical truth. As we finish this series in the next few programs we will begin a study on the “Laws of Purity and Impurity.” This also was commissioned to the Kohanim to teach the people. Outside of Orthodox Judaism these topics are virtually untouched so I hope you will join me with each episode.
Chavurah on “The War of Independence”
Join us each Monday night at 7:00 PM Central Time as we are teaching on the War of Independence of Israel. This teaching is one you don’t want to miss as it is a key to understanding Israel today. This week we will be talking on the Haganah and Palmach, the Irgun and Lehi and the roles they played then and now. You can listen live by going to our Web Site www.hatikva.org. If these times are inconvenient for you or you would like to receive the DVD’s or CD’s they can be ordered from our Website. Subscriptions are available by the month, 3 months, 6 months or by the year. Whether ordering the DVDs, Mp3, or CDs it is all the same price. However the most popular format is now DVD because you can see the teaching rather than just listen to it. Click here for order information (http://store.hatikva.org/catalog/index.php?cPath=23).
The Economy and the Ministry
First I would like to thank all of you for your support. Both our Web Casting of Chavurah and Arba4 was in real danger of having to go off the air as funds were not there to pay the bills we have to pay to keep that going. We spoke of it on both Chavurah and Arba4 and you responded and we say thanks. We know many of you are really hurting and all are feeling the repressed economy and we do pray for you. I need to let you know that the finances of the ministry are at an all time low. We have been looking for a smaller and cheaper place to run the ministry. Pray that we find something soon for we cannot continue at our present location. This is the end of the month and bills are due and the ministry has hardly any funds with which to operate. Please pray with us that this situation improves rapidly. Again let me say thank you for all of your support. Please forgive me as I have really been remiss in telling each one of you how much you mean to us.
Shalom Shalom,
Joseph Good
