In 1983, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein founded the IFCJ — the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews — devoting his life to building bridges of understanding between Christians and Jews and broad support for the State of Israel. His tireless effort continues to rescue oppressed and starving Jews in many parts of the world, including for example Holocaust survivors in Ukraine, bringing them to Israel for relief and freedom. Today the IFCJ raises over $140million annually, making it the largest Christian-supported humanitarian nonprofit working in Israel now.
