Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein’s Commentary
Days of Awe
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | September 19, 2017
The High Holy Days, which begin this week with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, remind us of God's sovereignty over a world that can be a dangerous and chaotic place. Even as we sit in awe of God's power, I am in awe of the generosity and open-heartedness of you, our Fellowship
Take a Stand Against Evil
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | September 13, 2017
The terror-sponsoring nation of Qatar recently hired an American public relations firm in an attempt to improve its image. But no makeover can hide the truth, and Qatar needs to be held accountable for its actions. Take a stand against evil by telling our elected officials to Stop Terror Now!
Great Is His Faithfulness
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | September 7, 2017
As we remember one of the darkest days in U.S. history on September 11, let us pray for all those who still grieve the loved ones they lost on that day, and honor the ordinary Americans who showed us the meaning of heroism. And let us give thanks to God that His love and faithfulness to us endure.
Standing with Us Through the Storm
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | August 31, 2017
To the people suffering from the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey, many Fellowship friends among them, I want to say that all of us at The Fellowship are praying that God would watch over each and every one of you.
They Are Not Alone
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | August 24, 2017
Last week's horrific terrorist attack in Barcelona underscores the critical need for The Fellowship and our supporters to continue to do whatever we can to support and help defend Jewish communities around the world.
Our Response to Hateful Fanaticism
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | August 16, 2017
There is a sobering lesson to be learned from the events in Charlottesville, and we ignore it at our peril: Wherever people stir up violent hatred for any ethnic or religious group, we must stand resolutely against them.
Turning Their Weeping into Rejoicing
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | August 9, 2017
The dire economic crisis in Venezuela has been devastating for that country's Jewish community. I am so grateful to The Fellowship's supporters, who have helped provide Freedom Flights and turned weeping into rejoicing as Venezuelan Jews make new lives in their biblical homeland.
A House of Prayer for All People
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | August 3, 2017
We invite you to submit your prayers, so that we can bring them to the Western Wall - it is one way of returning the blessing of your prayers and support for God's people.
The Lord Will Surely Comfort Zion
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | July 26, 2017
A terror attack on a family celebrating the birth of a new grandchild on Shabbat. The shooting of two Israeli police officers. Palestinian officials suspending all contact with Israel. A "Day of Rage." Israel's enemies claim all of these are the result of increased security on the Temple Mount. But really, they are just more attempts to undermine and cripple the Jewish state.
A Helping Hand for Persecuted Christians
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein | July 20, 2017
Recent atrocities against Christians in Egypt have created a humanitarian crisis and spurred The Fellowship into action. Just as we fight anti-Semitism and assist Israel's victims of terror, join with us as we work to meet the needs of Christians suffering throughout the Middle East.
