These lectures show how little we really understand of the Scriptures. To have the Hebrew words explained in their fullness adds so much to our understanding.

These courses is an eyes opener as you never see them like this before! The bible college I attended does not teach any deeper then the way they do. I am so thankful for Israel Bible Center. Thank you!

I am so glad i am with Israel Bible Center, the substance, the profundity…now it adds up. Its intresting to note though that in Christendom there is a belief that when Christ came, he got rid of the torah..but no he was actually expounding from the Torah.

Just wanted to express my gratitude for this course. I have enjoyed and been challenged by the several courses I have already taken but John’s Gospel is one of my favorites. I so appreciated the fresh eyes this class has given me. God’s word and work is so amazing. Thank you!

Though I am a third generation christian, the spiritual and the revelations I receive here has no parallel. For many many years I just visited this site and did not join. I always believed there is a time for everything. I thank God for all the teachers. For me it’s Paul and Gamaliel experience.

This had a wonderfully strong focus on the text and the context (linguistically and historically) how it may have come to be written. The focus on meaning-then vs. meaning-now is both helpful and thought-provoking in gaining a deeper understanding of what the text may really be about.

Thank you for providing such a fresh and thought provoking lesson on the Gospel of John! I have always said that it would be awesome to find a teacher who is able to provide this information in clear, simple to understand ways.

I have taken Hebrew lessons in the past with several different teachers and hesitated to try yet again BUT Prof. Pinchas Shir’s way of teaching has helped me so much. Thank you and now it is up to me to memorize words.

Not only did these classes broaden my insight and understanding of the Gospel and of Jesus the Jew, but it also made me very sad to realize how far astray misinterpretation according to our Western values have led the Church. Thank you and LORD bless you!

“To fully understand and properly apply the scriptures we MUST know how they were understood by the original recipients. The courses at Israel Study Center allow you to peel back the layers of western tradition and uncover how the words of the Bible were understood by their original (mostly Jewish) recipients.”
