Hebrew Voices #239 – Persia, the Bible & Free Iran: Part 1

January 7, 2026

In this episode of Hebrew Voices #239 - Persia, the Bible & Free Iran: Part 1, Nehemia is joined by Dr. Thamar Gindin - often called the “Israeli attaché to Free Iran” - to explore the profound intersection of ancient Persian history and the Hebrew Bible. Together, they dive into the historical evidence that links these two worlds and discuss why these ancient connections still matter for a "Free Iran" today.

I look forward to reading your comments!

Praise the name of Yehovah!!! Nehemiah I learned so much from this interview with Dr. Tahmar Gindin. The Persian Empire is a very large piece of history that everyone needs to study from the middle east. Thanks for all of your questions that you gave her to answer to enlighten us on the persian subjects of history. Absolutely crazy that the book of Esther is a fake?? I hope not!!!!!! Very interesting how she showed the traditions of the kings sons would be killed for sacrifice just like christianity was created by traditions. Can’t wait for part 2 of the video. Thanks so much!!!! Shalom
