51:27 Min. Listen

April 9, 2025

In this fascinating episode, Pesach and Doug sit down with entrepreneur, philanthropist, and best-selling author Mark Gerson. Mark is the co-founder and chairman of United Hatzalah of Israel, a revolutionary volunteer emergency medical service saving lives every day. He also co-founded African Mission Healthcare, a groundbreaking organization that supports Christian medical missionaries serving the poorest communities in Africa.

We discuss Mark’s best-selling book The Telling: How Judaism’s Essential Book Reveals the Meaning of Life — an insightful guide to the Pesach Haggadah that has inspired readers of all backgrounds.

Then, Mark gives us a preview of his soon-to-be-released book God Was Right: How Modern Social Science Proves the Torah is True. We explore powerful examples from the book — from the biblical wisdom about marriage and clothing to modern scientific studies that now confirm the Torah’s ancient truth.

This is a rich and inspiring conversation about faith, generosity, entrepreneurship, and the enduring wisdom of the Bible.
