A few days from now, thousands of viewing parties are occurring, all
over the planet, for Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Courage” event in
Jerusalem, taking place on Wednesday, August 24 from 10 AM-noon EST. The
Philadelphia area is no exception.
With the expectation of garnering numbers even beyond those of Beck’s
“Restoring Hope” event nearly a year ago at Washington D.C.’s National
Mall, “Restoring Courage” will be viewed by large groups through the
world in halls, rooms, restaurants and homes.
In Philadelphia, the Israel-America Renaissance Institute (I-ARI)
think tank is presenting a viewing for like-minded supporters of Israel.
Dr. Arno Weinstein, Executive Director of I-ARI, explained the great
level of anticipation of the “Restoring Courage” event as due to the
innate desire of Americans to support the shared values of the founding
of America and the Hebraic traditions that mandated the creation of the
Jewish State of Israel.
Dr. Weinstein elaborated: “The Israel-America Renaissance Institute
(I-ARI) is pleased to host the Philadelphia viewing of Glenn Beck’s
‘Restoring Courage.’ We are unyielding advocates of American
Exceptionalism, of the foundational doctrines of America’s founding.
I-ARI supports the efforts of Mr. Beck and understands that the
salvation of this country, the United States, rests in its rediscovering
of its own first principles and, this being absolutely pivotal, the
recognition of Israel’s particular role in relation to America as the
universal.”
Dr. Weinstein continued: “As Israel goes, so goes America. Glenn Beck
has been so articulate on these very points. Mr. Beck has been able to
bring remarkably difficult concepts to the street, to people who might
never have been exposed to such ideas. He has successfully taught
accurate history, classically-understood philosophy and moral theology,
all while imparting the virtue of study and the revered value of each.”
When asked how Beck’s “Restoring Courage” has managed to create
excitement for an event halfway around the world -- and in Israel of all
places -- Weinstein answered: “The fact is, Beck has tapped into that
moral center, he has understood the heart and soul of the thoughtful
American and, most importantly, Mr. Beck knows that by studying,
teaching and promoting the historical connection between Israel and
America he can bring clarity to the shared moral foundations of both
nations.”
