The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was founded in 1983 to promote understanding between Jews and Christians and to build broad support for Israel and other shared concerns. Our 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.

25 Years of History

Based in Chicago and Jerusalem, The Fellowship operates under the leadership of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein and is governed by a board of directors made up of members of both faith groups who share a strong belief in building bridges between the Christian and Jewish communities.

In recent years, The Fellowship has provided millions of dollars to help Jews make aliyah (immigrate to Israel), supply emergency aid in times of crisis in Israel, and support needy Jewish children, families and elderly in distress around the world.
