Why Israel Podcast - From Hate to Healing: Arab Pastor Shares How God Gave Him a Love for Israel

In this powerful interview, Dr. Erez Soref sits down with Pastor Salim Shalash, an Arab Christian pastor from Nazareth, to explore one of the most remarkable transformation stories you’ll ever hear.

Born in a Christian Arab home and raised with deep hostility toward Israel and the Jewish people, Pastor Salim describes how media, culture, and theology shaped years of bitterness and “replacement theology.” But one night, God confronted him changing his heart, his mind, and his entire calling.

Today, Pastor Salim leads Home of Jesus the King Church in Nazareth and serves Jewish, Arab, Druze, Muslim, Ukrainian, Russian, and Holocaust-survivor families with the love of Yeshua.
