Preview version! Save the Date for "Building Bridges, Saving Lives" Wednesday, November 17, a joint campaign kick-off event of the Tampa Jewish Federations of Pinellas and Pasco Counties on Wed., Nov.17 at 7:00 pm featuring Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, founder and president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Rabbi Eckstein has devoted the past 25 years to building bridges of understanding between Christians and Jews as well as broad support of the State of Israel. He is recognized as the world's leading Jewish authority on evangelical Christians. He currently serves on the executive committee of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and the board of directors of the Jewish Agency for Israel, both overseas organizations supported by the Jewish Federations of North America. In Israel, Rabbi Eckstein serves as an unofficial adviser to the Prime Minister and recently was appointed Goodwill Ambassador of the State of Israel with special emphasis on Israel's relationship with evangelical communities in Latin America.
He's done a lot to help his own people, but it would be much better if he didn't use gullible Christians (who are NOT allowed to present the Gospel, as the Bible has asked us to do, to those Jews who Christians are helping as well), and told them up front that he'll accept their money, but will not let them know how much Yahweh and Yeshua Hamashiach really cares about them. How very sad and heartbreaking for his people.
