The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (often referred to as “The Fellowship” or IFCJ) is a renowned global philanthropic organization founded in 1983 by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein. Its mission is twofold: to promote understanding and cooperation between Christians and Jews and to provide humanitarian relief to people in Israel and across the Jewish diaspora.
"Bless Israel" is a 26-minute ministry segment delivered by Yael Eckstein, President and CEO of IFCJ. Each episode shares emotional, real-life stories, providing updates on the organization’s efforts delivering vital aid such as Holocaust survivor support, food, medicine, shelter, and life-saving services amid crises in Israel and beyond.
Under Yael Eckstein’s leadership, IFCJ continues the legacy of Rabbi Eckstein, mobilizing billions of dollars in partner donations to support vulnerable Jewish communities through initiatives like “On Wings of Eagles,” “Guardians of Israel,” and disaster relief efforts in places like Ukraine and Ethiopia. Program content includes both devotional messages and real-time ministry updates given in a format accessible to Christian audiences—with an emphasis on biblical teachings, reconciliation, and advocacy.
Through Bless Israel feature, listeners gain regular exposure to IFCJ’s humanitarian mission, spiritual encouragement, and opportunities to participate in faith-based partnership supporting Israel and persecuted communities.
For over 35 years, The Fellowship has worked tirelessly to help desperate Jews in Israel and around the world. With Bless Israel, your listeners will learn how they can help poor widows, orphans, Holocaust survivors, families and elderly, victims of terror and war, and those who are persecuted and oppressed.
