About International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship) was founded in 1983 to promote understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians and to build broad support for Israel and other shared concerns. Based in Chicago and Jerusalem, The Fellowship operates under the leadership of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, and is governed by an independent board of directors that shares a strong belief in building bridges between the Christian and Jewish communities.
