00:05 male announcer: Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God
00:08 for Israel is that they might be saved.
00:11 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek,
00:14 for the same Lord over all is rich unto all
00:17 that call upon him.
00:20 "Zola Levitt Presents."
00:22 ♪♪♪
00:29 David Hart: Thank you so much for joining us today on
00:31 "Zola Levitt Presents," I'm David Hart.
00:34 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
00:35 Jeffrey Seif: And I'm nostalgic Jeffrey Seif here.
00:37 And I say nostalgic, I'm thinking back to the old
00:39 Mickey Mouse days.
00:41 I remember at the end there was a song,
00:42 "Now it's time to say goodbye."
00:44 Now, we're not saying goodbye, we're saying hello, but we are
00:49 changing a name.
00:51 "Zola Levitt Presents" is going to morph a little bit.
00:53 Same program, same people, but...
00:56 David Hart: A lot has changed in 40 years.
00:58 This is a change.
01:00 Bible prophecy, a lot has stayed the same, yes?
01:03 Jeffrey Seif: Yes, and a lot has changed with this ministry, not
01:06 least of which is the fact is that Zola Levitt has not
01:09 presented for well over a dozen years.
01:11 He's gone on to his reward.
01:13 And the thinking was that the ministry needed to reflect
01:17 more what Zola was all about rather than build
01:20 around his person, his name.
01:23 Kirsten Hart: Some of you are watching us right now
01:25 and thinking, "What are they talking about?"
01:28 If you only watch us here on a station, a local station,
01:33 or Daystar, please know that we are remaining the same.
01:37 The three of us will be here.
01:39 The set will look the same.
01:40 Zola Levitt Ministries is now presenting this program
01:44 as "Our Jewish Roots."
01:46 And also, just to let you know, you can find us on YouTube, we
01:51 have our own YouTube channel, and on Facebook, and levitt.com.
01:55 So, much is staying the same.
01:57 Just the name is changing.
01:59 Jeffrey Seif: Yes it is, and I think it's
02:02 a good thing personally.
02:04 Zola in his day--now of course, it's been well over
02:07 a dozen years.
02:09 People that have watched this program for years have seen me
02:11 for many of them teaching, and we've been carrying
02:15 on with the work, but we just kept the name.
02:18 It's a brand name, in effect, in Christian television.
02:22 This--under this name has gone on for over 40 years.
02:25 Most programs don't go four seasons.
02:28 And so, there was some reluctance to change the name,
02:31 but finally the board had prevailed.
02:35 Let's do it.
02:36 So, it was done.
02:38 David Hart: You just got back from Israel and did
02:39 a whole series.
02:41 We also do dramatic reenactments there and it seems like we're
02:44 trying to do a lot more with less finances.
02:47 We need your support and we thank you for that.
02:50 What's up for this year, do you think?
02:52 Jeffrey Seif: Well, a lot of good things.
02:54 New series coming out.
02:55 We haven't rolled back production at all.
02:59 New series, a redo of a series on Paul, a great series
03:04 on Joshua just rolled out.
03:07 We have just so many good things in the can.
03:09 Need the help.
03:10 Kirsten Hart: And we're building on the legacy of Zola Levitt,
03:13 and I think he would like this.
03:15 Jeffrey Seif: I think so as well, too,
03:18 that we've been carrying on.
03:20 I mean, it would be one thing if Zola went to be with the Lord
03:21 last year and then we're, "Uh, uh, what are we going to do?"
03:24 But it's been well over a dozen.
03:25 David Hart: I'd like to tell our folks, our viewers,
03:27 to don't panic, don't worry.
03:30 It's all staying the same except for the name change.
03:32 Jeffrey Seif: I wonder if we care more than they do.
03:33 At the end of the day, people have their own issues and their
03:36 own problems.
03:37 David Hart: True.
03:38 Jeffrey Seif: People in their living rooms, in their homes,
03:40 in their head, what they call this television program is I
03:44 think less important at the end of the day to them.
03:47 The anxiety, don't panic, is probably with us, you know,
03:50 because will it carry on?
03:53 That's why people vote with their dollars.
03:55 If you like what we do, please show it at year end by making
04:00 a generous donation and say to us, by virtue of your
04:03 so doing, "We support you.
04:05 Call it what you will.
04:06 We're all about the good news to the eyes of the Jews and we
04:09 love what you're doing."
04:10 Kirsten Hart: We are going to carry on into 2020.
04:12 New programs, new vision, but right now on "Zola Levitt
04:17 Presents," we wanna give you a look at what we brought you
04:21 in 2019.
04:24 David Hart: 2019 began with the story of David,
04:26 originally presented in 2009.
04:29 It's "The Warrior King: David-like Leadership
04:32 in Goliath-like Times."

05:18 one last time.

05:31 ♪♪♪
05:34 Jeffrey Seif: The expression, "To fall upon one's sword,"
05:38 speaks of someone taking their own life.
05:41 And we're at a place in David's life where he's learned that his
05:46 nemesis has fallen upon his own sword.
05:52 male announcer: In the anointing of David, we witnessed the birth
05:55 of the new kingdom, a kingdom which we prayed
05:59 would never pass away.
06:02 ♪♪♪
06:12 ♪♪♪
06:17 Jeffrey Seif: I'm coming to you from the City of David.
06:21 At the southern part of what's known as the Temple Complex
06:25 today lie these ruins that have been here for centuries.
06:30 And I'm coming to you, yes, from the Acropolis, the very
06:34 place, if you can imagine that.
06:37 It's one of the benefits of teaching here from Israel.
06:40 We don't just tell the Bible story, we can give individuals
06:43 a window into it, and what a story this is.
06:50 male announcer: From the beginning, our Creator
06:52 revealed his will to the common man.
06:56 Individuals listened to his call and responded in obedience.
07:01 From the first Hebrew Avraham to the culmination of salvation
07:05 in Messiah himself, the Lord faithfully intervenes with his
07:13 "Divine Deliverance."
07:16 David Hart: In our new series, "Divine Deliverance," we
07:18 examined how the Lord offered a message of salvation
07:22 through 12 significant Bible characters, beginning
07:24 with faithful Abraham and culminating with
07:27 the Messiah himself.
07:29 There is enlightened dramatic reenactments from the past
07:31 series, along with Zola's music, completely reorchestrated
07:35 and sung by me and Kirsten.

07:49 Jeffrey Seif: Deliverance comes in different ways
07:52 on different days.
07:54 In this program, deliverance comes through a beauty contest,
08:00 and the winner is Esther, as it says in the text, chapter 2,
08:06 verse 17 of the book that bears her name.
08:09 male announcer: In 593 BC, Ezekiel was among the exiles
08:14 by the River Chebar in Babylonia.
08:16 And the heavens were opened and he saw visions of God.
08:23 A whirlwind came out of the north
08:26 and a brightness was about it.
08:31 Jeffrey Seif: Hebrews call it the "galut."
08:34 It's a word for exile.
08:36 Jews were dispossessed, thrown out of the ancestral homeland.
08:40 They, in effect, were refugees.

09:19 David Hart: 2019 saw the return of our eight-part series
09:22 examining Psalms 120 to 134.
09:26 These psalms may have been sung by ancient Jews going
09:29 up to the temple in Jerusalem, but they are surprisingly
09:32 appropriate and timely for believers today.
09:35 With appearances by Eitan Shishkoff and singing
09:38 by the great Marty Goetz, here are some highlights from our
09:41 series, "Psalms of Ascent."
09:46 male announcer: If it had not been the Lord who was on our
09:48 side when men rose up against us, they would have
09:52 swallowed us up quick when their wrath was kindled against us.
09:58 Blessed be the Lord who hath not given us as prey to their teeth.
10:03 Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven
10:07 and earth.
10:11 Jeffrey Seif: To be sure, war is unpleasant business.
10:16 Whether it's an ancient soldier adorning a breastplate
10:19 and a sword or whether it's someone stepping into a modern
10:23 tank, still if you can imagine what goes on in the minds
10:27 of individuals that are thrown against the prospects of their
10:31 own annihilation.
10:33 Eitan Shishkoff: God keeps his Word, and that sometimes it
10:37 takes a few centuries for it to happen, but the Lord does not
10:41 forget and he is reestablishing a community of believers
10:45 in Yeshua, just as it was with the apostles in the first
10:48 century right here in Israel in our times.

11:13 male announcer: "Zola Levitt Presents."
11:15 David Hart: Just last week, we wrapped up an encore
11:17 presentation of "Return to Eden."
11:20 In this series, Dr. Seif detailed
11:21 God's response to the fall into sin by Adam
11:24 and Eve in the garden of Eden, beginning with the creation
11:27 of a special relationship with the people in a land,
11:30 eventually leading to the Messiah.
11:35 Jeffrey Seif: It's a long journey, hundreds and hundreds
11:38 of miles over tough, uncharted real estate to make that trek.
11:43 Something's gotta be stimulated within your heart of hearts
11:46 to do it.
11:48 Much as Abraham made that journey sometime back, it's
11:50 interesting, Hebrews have made their way back to the ancestral
11:54 homeland here, and many others too.
11:57 Christians particularly come here in the tune of millions
12:01 to walk where Jesus walked.
12:03 There's just something about being in what's called
12:06 the Holy land.
12:07 "God cut a covenant with Abram, saying, I give this land
12:13 to your seed."
12:14 It's not just that it's given to him, that it's given
12:18 to his progeny.
12:20 And it's not just given for the moment, it's given
12:23 in perpetuity.
12:24 Now, this is a nice day here modern Israel,
12:26 and the land is abuzz.
12:29 People are taking time off.
12:30 They work very hard to cultivate all of this to bring the miracle
12:34 of Israel out of the Earth into the modern world.
12:37 And there's activity, there's music, there's a kind
12:40 of bustling atmosphere that brisks here.

12:55 David Hart: We've brought so much this last year and we
12:58 couldn't do this without our executive director, also
13:01 the firstborn of Zola Levitt.
13:03 We have Mark Levitt with us today.
13:05 We're so glad you're with us.
13:06 Kirsten Hart: And you're our boss, so you're our favorite.
13:09 Mark Levitt: Well, good to be here, thank you.
13:11 David Hart: So, you've been with the ministry for quite
13:14 a while.
13:15 How'd you get started?
13:17 Mark Levitt: Well, in 1974, when I was 14 years old, I helped
13:19 manage Zola's inventory of Bible teaching study booklets
13:22 and audio cassettes.
13:24 His office was in a temporary building in our backyard.
13:27 The house's prior owner was a potter with a kiln back there
13:31 in which he baked the clay that he'd shaped.
13:34 Little did I realize I was being baked and shaped for a mission.
13:37 Kirsten Hart: That's good.
13:39 Mark Levitt: I also ran a lawn mowing business
13:40 out of that building.
13:42 Kirsten Hart: Multi-purpose room and building, that's good.
13:45 Mark Levitt: Fourteen years later, I had a management degree
13:47 and business experience, and became
13:49 this ministry's manager.
13:51 Kirsten Hart: Your dad founded all of this, I mean, years ago.
13:55 You must have been five.
13:56 Were you just five when he started all this?
13:59 Mark Levitt: No, actually I was about 14 when he began teaching,
14:03 and then the ministry came to fruition, and added the CBN
14:07 and TBN networks and many local broadcasters.
14:11 In 1983, Zola founded the group tour company,
14:13 the Israel tour company.
14:16 Over the next 36 years, we hosted 100 tours,
14:19 never canceled one.
14:21 Shortly thereafter Zola and Jeff created our correspondence
14:24 course, a 12 month program with diplomas for those--
14:27 Kirsten Hart: That we love.
14:29 Mark Levitt: Oh, good, good.
14:30 Kirsten Hart: We just, I mean, learn so much.
14:31 That's a wonderful course.
14:33 David Hart: So, you're talkin' about your dad, and we are sad
14:36 that we never experienced being with him.
14:40 He died in 2006, and it must have really shaken things up
14:45 in the office and with the whole ministry.
14:47 Tell us about how that happened.
14:50 Mark Levitt: Well, it did, and then Dr. Jeffrey Seif
14:52 and Zola's widow, Sandra, took Zola's place
14:57 on television and in the newsletter.
14:59 We continue to uphold Zola's original vision of teaching
15:02 the Jewish roots of Christianity, the continuing
15:06 significance of Israel and prophecy.
15:08 Zola and Sandra led the tours and spoke in churches.
15:11 Several years later, Sandra retired, remarried, became
15:15 active with BSF, Bible Study Fellowship, where she is now
15:17 a leader.
15:19 Then Jeff pursued some personal goals after five years
15:21 at the helm, including another PhD.
15:24 After Myles and Katharine's 5 1/2 years, Jeff returned
15:26 more knowledgeable than ever.
15:28 Kirsten Hart: We enjoy being with him.
15:30 He's funny, he's smart, and also the backdrop in Israel is just--
15:34 I mean, it's just amazing.
15:36 That's what we're known for on this program is
15:39 the teaching is in Israel.
15:40 How many times have you been?
15:42 Mark Levitt: I've been about four times.
15:43 Kirsten Hart: And are you ready to go back again?
15:44 You should go with us on a tour.
15:46 Mark Levitt: That's a great idea.
15:47 That's a great idea.
15:49 Kirsten Hart: We're on I would say a precipice, but we're just
15:51 about to start something brand new.
15:53 We're only changing the name of the program.
15:56 Everything else is remaining the same.
15:58 Tell us about what that looks like in the ministry.
16:00 Mark Levitt: Well, we ministry workers remain sentimental
16:03 about Zola's legacy as founder, later teacher.
16:07 And over the years, his name recognition has faded a bit,
16:13 so we believe now with a new program title, maintaining our
16:18 tradition of teaching about the Jewish roots
16:19 of Christianity, the continuing significance of Israel
16:23 in prophecy, we can move ahead with a fresh program title,
16:27 "Our Jewish Roots."
16:29 Kirsten Hart: I think it's brilliant.
16:30 We're excited about the change and new vision for 2020.
16:34 Just real quick, as our boss and the head over the whole
16:38 ministry, what do you see as the biggest challenge that we're
16:41 about to enter with 2020 coming up?
16:44 Mark Levitt: Well, our ministry needs more broadcasters
16:47 and more viewers.
16:49 In the 14 years that passed since Zola's heavenly birthday,
16:53 several of our networks went away.
16:55 Going forward, we'll continue the same quality, on-location,
17:00 Messianic Bible teaching with a fresh name that will
17:03 attract more broadcasters and viewers.
17:06 Kirsten Hart: Good.
17:07 Well, it's an honor for us to sit with you.
17:08 You're my favorite boss.
17:10 Mark Levitt: Thank you.
17:11 David Hart: Thank you for joining us today.
17:13 It's been a great.
17:14 We're excited about 2020, but right now we want to show
17:16 you some excerpts from the last 40 years.

19:34 Zola Levitt: Not so much this side or that side, but watching
19:37 the pilgrims and knowing how they're gonna react when we turn
19:40 the bend in the road.
19:42 When I know I can say, "Ladies and gentlemen, the sea
19:44 of Galilee, or the Mount of Beatitudes,
19:48 or the Mount of Olives," and just watching the faces.
19:50 So, every one of those is special.
19:53 Zola Levitt: It's the first of the feasts that God gave
19:55 Moses on Mount Sinai and it has been celebrated all that time
20:00 through those millennia, through the inquisitions,
20:03 the crusades, the concentration camps.
20:05 Everywhere the Jews were, Passover was always celebrated.
20:10 Zola Levitt: Solomon's temple was a wonder of the ancient
20:12 world, I should say.
20:14 You can put the Great Pyramid of Egypt down three times
20:18 within the walls, and the walls are similar now.
20:21 We're looking straight at the southern wall.
20:24 Sandra Levitt: All of a sudden we're seeing Delilah, who is
20:26 just this horrible, horrible woman that did nothing

20:32 And just, nightmare, you're right.
20:35 It's every parent's nightmare.
20:37 Jeffrey Seif: So, we're looking at an eight-part series.
20:39 Now we're looking at one that got away.
20:41 A lesson to learn about how not to be in the world, as we
20:44 continue on with our story of women in the Word.
20:49 Jeffrey Seif: Just finished raining in the Gaza.
20:54 Gaza's right off the Mediterranean Sea,
20:56 and we do get downpours every now and again.
20:59 But in the break in the rain, we're getting some work done
21:01 and this young lady's putting out the wash.
21:04 This fellow's taking care of the roof.
21:07 He'd do well to be careful.
21:08 Jeffrey Seif: I believe Jesus is the hope of the world.
21:11 The King of the Jews is the hope of the world.
21:13 The Lord, when he ignites passions in people like these,
21:17 it's beautiful.
21:18 Sandra Levitt: I agree.
21:20 And here's the start of the March of Bisingen.
21:23 Jeffrey Seif: Here in Bisingen lies the beginning
21:26 of the infamous Death March in 1945.

23:31 Jeffrey Seif: I go back with him over 30 years when I began
23:34 the journey, and I've known him and the ministry for many years.
23:36 I was sat at this desk for many years in his wake.
23:39 David Hart: Spiritual life, did that change you at all
23:41 through working with him, or?
23:44 Jeffrey Seif: No, I-- well, I think our spiritual life
23:46 continues to grow, and I grew more professionally
23:50 by virtue of my association.
23:53 And it's nice and it's lost in modernity, by the way.
23:56 And by that I mean in certain trades, you start off as
24:00 a journeyman, an apprentice, and you train under a master.
24:04 And Zola really was a master at this, a master communicator.
24:08 He was early in.
24:10 He was the first, actually, as TV was emerging, to teach
24:15 the Jewish views on Christian television.
24:20 And you know, I benefited by virtue of association
24:23 professionally with him, learning.
24:25 You know, I'm not him.
24:27 I'm my own man in the way I do it, but certainly my association
24:31 with him was was very helpful personally.
24:34 David Hart: Sure.
24:35 Kirsten Hart: He was a pioneer.
24:36 I mean, no one had done that before, right?
24:38 At least on television.
24:39 Jeffrey Seif: No, I mean, he-- most pastors get a pulpit
24:41 somewhere with a choir loft behind them, a few banners
24:43 or some stained glass.
24:45 All of a sudden, people are looking at this guy, Zola,
24:47 and he has Israel.
24:48 He takes people there.
24:50 Not only that, there's the name, Zola.
24:51 That doesn't sound like Reverend Harris.
24:53 Not only that, he would wear these first century garb.
24:56 He looked it, and he took them to the--he gave people a look
25:00 at the Book through the views of the Jews,
25:04 and he left an indelible mark.
25:05 Kirsten Hart: And now this ministry is building
25:08 on his foundation.
25:10 Jeffrey Seif: It's been building on it since--you know, I mean,
25:11 even when he was alive, I developed this Institute
25:13 of Jewish and Christian Studies.
25:15 I had my own innovations at play while he was still walking
25:18 the earth in his day.
25:19 And in the wake of all that, I was here five years after his
25:23 passing, solo teaching at the helm principally.
25:25 And we really haven't lost a beat because our viewers are
25:29 mature enough to realize that the vision is more important
25:32 than the visionary.
25:33 Kirsten Hart: As we will continue on into 2020,
25:35 even with a new name, but we continue on.
25:39 Jeffrey Seif: Yeah, we carry on.
25:40 Kirsten Hart: New things to say and do.
25:41 Jeffrey Seif: And speaking of carrying on, it's the end
25:44 of the year.
25:47 And I don't, and you know, we don't.
25:49 It's really bragging rights to this ministry.
25:51 If you look at a 30 minute program, we really spend any--
25:54 we rarely spend any time talking about money.
25:56 I want to ask you to put your money where my mouth is.
26:01 That is to say, if you find value in broadcasting the Jesus
26:07 story and the Jewish story, putting those two together where
26:10 they touch and kiss, if you value that, please.
26:15 Let me tell ya, it doesn't happen on the cheap.
26:17 We really need you to get behind.
26:21 And I want to tell you that God blesses those who bless Israel.
26:25 He curses those who curse.
26:27 It's a new year.
26:29 There's a new day.
26:31 And start off the year by sowing some seed in this field, please.
26:37 It's good field.
26:38 There's a good harvest to come.
26:41 Help us to facilitate it, please.
26:43 Like, now.
26:44 David Hart: A new season is what I believe this is.
26:47 We're retiring the name, "Zola Levitt Ministries Presents."
26:53 Kind of a loss, you think, or excitement?
26:55 Jeffrey Seif: You know, wintertime, the trees leave--
26:58 they lose their leaves, but new growth comes in the spring.
27:01 It's the nature of things.
27:03 And our viewers realize they don't live forever, we don't
27:06 live forever, but the Word of the Lord carries on
27:09 l'dor v'dor, from generation to generation.
27:12 Kirsten Hart: It does.
27:14 If you're watching this program and you're thinking, "What are
27:17 they talking about, 'Our Jewish Roots'?"
27:19 This is the new name of "Zola Levitt Presents."
27:23 The ministry stays the same.
27:24 The three of us will still be here, same desk, same backdrop,
27:28 same website, same Facebook page.
27:31 No worries.
27:32 Don't worry about that.
27:33 It's just simply we are changing the name of our program
27:35 to the heartbeat of our ministry, and it's the heartbeat
27:38 of the ministry that we've had for 40 years under Zola
27:42 and under you also.
27:43 So don't worry about that.
27:45 And this is actually, oh my gosh, our last time signing
27:49 off as "Zola Levitt Presents."
27:50 David Hart: We also want to wish you a wonderful, happy holiday.
27:54 And we end our program like this.
27:57 Jeffrey Seif: Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim.
28:00 Kirsten Hart: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
