The Bridge Builder: The Life and Continuing Legacy of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein

The amazing story of Yechiel Eckstein, a Chicago-based orthodox rabbi who founded the worlds largest philanthropic organization of Evangelical Christians in support of Israel.When the Anti-Defamation League sent a young Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein to Chicago to foster interfaith relations in the late 1970s, he was surprised to see how responsive Christian evangelicals were to the cause of supporting and defending Israel.Eckstein founded The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in 1983 to promote cross-cultural understanding and build broad support for Israel, Soviet Jewry, and other shared concerns. The Fellowship has grown and thrived over the last three decades, raising more than 1.1 billion, and is one of the largest 50 NGOs in America today.
