Hebrew Voices #123 - Camp Ephraim Sukkot
You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.
Chris: We don’t know exactly necessarily, are we descendants of one of the 10 tribes, or are we just like Ruth, just like grafted in. It doesn’t matter, it’s just one law, just one people. It’s just one Elohim, and that’s what we can experience right here in the sukkah.
Nehemia: Shalom, this is Nehemia Gordon, and I'm coming to you today from northern Jerusalem, where there is an encampment of people who have come on the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the Feast of Sukkot. I'm here with Chris Günther. Shalom, Chris.
Chris: Shalom, Nehemia.
Nehemia: Chris, what are you and your people doing here in Jerusalem, camping out on Sukkot?
Chris: We believe we're doing what we're supposed to be doing during this time; come to Jerusalem for the time that is appointed, mo'ed, and just rejoice, because we're commanded to rejoice in the place that He chose.
Nehemia: Now, are you and most of the people here Jewish? What is your background and how did you get here?
Chris: Most of us can't prove that we've got any Jewish inheritance, but we feel in our hearts this is what we are to do, because we were following a Rabbi by the name of Yeshua that taught us to obey the Torah. And Torah says to come here three times a year. So, that is what we're doing.
Nehemia: How did you get here? This is an incredible story. You actually live in northern Israel. Most of the people here don't even live in Israel, is that right?

I Love this podcast, Each time I listen my Heart sings!! Praise Yehovah!!!
Please pray for me as Yehovah has closed the doors for me to go up for Tabernacles, the last 3 years, but as I sit here with tears in my eyes have a real unction that next year in Jerusalem
Love, Love!! he German and the Jew sharing shalom blessings at Sukkot in Jerusalem 🙂
Update (2022.10.12):
The City of David organization has taken over administration of the Peace Forest in Jerusalem (very large wooded area bordering the Hinnom Valley – Gehenna – and have restored / made available a campsite. You can look it up with Peace Forest Camping on the web. Camp Ephraim has used it several times now. This year (Sukkot 2022) our reservation got “bumped” due to a 5-year-old prayer being answered (Yehovah has quite a sense of humor!). So, as a result, we are instead … still camping in the Peace Forest ! It just keeps getting more and more interesting and far too long a story to tell here. It is Sukkot (2022) right now so, if you are or find yourself in Jerusalem, please stop by join us for worship, bible study, table fellowship under our 100-foot-long Sukkah, prayer, or whatever Yehovah appoints. Chag Sameach!
Nehemia – I really enjoyed this podcast. How wonderful to hear about these people doing their best to follow what they believe to be God’s will for them. It was so very touching to hear you make the point that other Germans tried to annihilate the Jews and here are these Germans in Israel following the God of Israel. Well done! Looking forward to whatever is next.

Thank you Nehemiah for bringing Sukkot to us live. I was there in 2018 and there is nothing like it!! Dancing in a big Sukkah near the Wall with others. Great insights . ♥️
Thank you for the podcast & video interview for Sukkot 2020 as we wanted to represent South Africa but no one could get flights into Israel due to Lockdown. Thanks to the South Africans in the group there in Jerusalem for being obedient. We had a doctor without boarders in Iran which was part of ancient Israels boarders that was unable to be relieved & fly back home so he was there for the time of Sukkot & was relieved straight after, so I do believe he was also there to represent South Africa as well. YHWH is too good to us, as He knew & provided, amen

Shalom Daniel, thank you and hope to meet you Pesach in Jerusalem! Shalom Chris
Sukkot Shalom, Chris! I always pray to make it, and one day will. Bless you and your family, the entire camp, and all the tribes – by extension all the peoples! I heard the Parade of Nations has been steadily growing from just a few dozen 20 years ago, to over a thousand last year. Be safe and healthy one and all, shem YeHoVaH.
What a wonderful presentation! We all pray that it will be “Next year in Jerusalem.”
This was so sweet and exciting to hear and see so many like minded people from around the world. Thank you so much for doing this!
I have not found such facilities, Walter. But as more and more people begin to wake up and keep their appointments, it will become a necessity. I join you in lookiing forward to that.
Re. a Time rather than a Location, I have to say I don’t see support for that view. The priests may not be able to do their part, but there is nothing whatsoever keeping the people from doing theirs. (except, this year, the airlines and the Israeli government, of course).
Current updates would be welcome. I wonder if there are commercial tenting facilities near Jerusalem for such pilgrims?
At this stage of Yah’s timeline, presumably succoth is more of a Time than a Location, but we look forward to the blessed day when Yah will make a way for all to gather in the holy city.
What another wonderful year, when Most are on the same calendar!
Isaiah 56 the chapter of promise to the unclean and gentiles. Prophecy doesnt always happen in the blink of an eye. Isaiah 56:8 in part says ‘Yet will I gather OTHERS unto him..’ Just like the unclean beasts that were taken aboard the ark. They didn’t all show up on one day. YAHOVA has no time line, we do.
Each day Yehovah brings me closer to the needed understanding. Oh how I love thy Law/ Torah!!!
Shalom William,
I agree-
Prophetic doesn’t
equal
fulfillment of prophecy.
Shalom

Yehova bless you Nehemiah!
Only step by step we realize the “way” it takes for each of us to be brought back together under one Sukka.
With deep appreciation –
yours Chris and Anke Günther
followers of The Way
with Johannes, Yael, Noa, Ruth and David
This is so exciting! I’m rejoicing with them. I wish I could go! Some day I will!
Amein! I have to agree,
I find that as I read The Word of YeHoVaH and by the righteous One Yeshua through (H.S.) Ruach haQodesh, the Message, each one, draws me closer and washes my mind (Roman’s 12) and brings newness in my whole being like it says it will… Jer. 31:31-34.
Let us continue to glorify YHVH in all we do!
Thank you for bringing us this illustration
The prophecy is yet to be fulfilled.
I am sure the excursion was broadening but not prophetic. Let’s not jump ahead of God’s timeline.
This video was made in 2018. That spot is either a parking lot or a building now. Last year, it was in the early stages of construction, and I don’t know what it became eventually But every year, the Creator makes a way. Hallelu-Yah !
