Part 5: Connecting the Bible to Today - Modern Israel
In this episode of Out of Zion, Dr. Susan Michael takes viewers inside modern Israel, unpacking the rich ethnic, geographic, religious, and political diversity that shapes Israeli society today. She explains how waves of Jewish immigration from Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and Ethiopia created a vibrant cultural mosaic, explores Israel’s dramatic landscapes from Mount Hermon to the Dead Sea, and clarifies the often-misunderstood differences between Israeli Arabs and Palestinians. She also demystifies Israel’s parliamentary government, highlights the unifying role of the Israeli Defense Forces, and more to provide a deeper, more nuanced understanding of one of the most fascinating nations on earth.

Susan’s involvement with the ICEJ began as a graduate student at Jerusalem University College in 1980, the same year that the Christian Embassy was first established. Upon completing her master’s degree in Judeo-Christian Studies, she returned from Israel with a heart to further the Embassy’s mission among fellow Americans. After a season assisting the ministry’s international leadership to host a series of high-profile pro-Israel conferences across the United States, she was asked to head up the ICEJ’s USA Branch.
In addition to a master’s degree in Judeo-Christian Studies, she holds a bachelor’s degree in theology from Oral Roberts University and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws by Piedmont International University in 2018.
Dr. Michael leads the American Christian Leaders for Israel (ACLI), has authored books, such as Encounter the 3D Bible: How to Read the Bible So It Comes to Life, and has developed educational resources, including the IsraelAnswers website, ICEJ U online courses, and curricula for Christian colleges.
