How will my gift help a Jewish family overseas?
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was founded in 1983 by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein to promote understanding between Jews and Christians and build broad support for Israel and other shared concerns. Celebrating more than 25 years of lifesaving ministry, the Fellowship’s vision is that Jews and Christians will reverse their 2,000-year history of discord and replace it with a relationship marked by dialogue, respect and cooperation.

The Fellowship’s success has far exceeded expectations. Over the years, we have become leaders in Judeo-Christian relations, building bridges of goodwill that have led to greater understanding and cooperation between members of these two great faiths. We have helped hundreds of thousands of Jews escape poverty and anti-Semitism and return to their biblical homeland, funded humanitarian assistance that has touched the lives of millions of Jews in Israel and the former Soviet Union, provided life-giving aid to Israel’s victims of war and terror and much more.
