Support and Take Action For Israel 6

AIPAC:

Senators have introduced a resolution (S. Res. 574) calling for the International Criminal Court to investigate Iranian leaders for violating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The resolution also calls on U.N. member states to fully implement existing U.N. Security Council sanctions against Iran and to impose their own sanctions against the country. Click here to urge your Senators to cosponsor this critical bill.

International Fellowship of Christians and Jews:
PART 1:

Friend, In Ezekiel 39:28, God says, “Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.” The Fellowship’s On Wings of Eagles program gives you an opportunity to help us fulfill God’s promise by lifting Jews from oppression in the former Soviet Union, Arab lands, and elsewhere to freedom in the Holy Land. Since I first began On Wings of Eagles, we have airlifted tens of thousands of Jews and brought them home to Israel. People such as Oshra from Yemen. For years she lived in fear. Fear of being persecuted for being Jewish in an Arab country harshly ruled by Islamic law. Fear of her abusive husband and fear of losing her children. Oshra had only one hope — The Fellowship and caring friends like you. With your help, we put Oshra and her children on a “Freedom Flight” to Israel through our On Wings of Eagles program. Today, they are safe in their biblical homeland. But there are still many more Jews around the world who face hateful anti-Semitism and poverty, who long to make aliyah to Israel. My friend, please join me in providing aliyah and bring these remnants of Israel home to the Holy Land. Your compassionate gift not only provides a safe passage to the Holy Land, but offers assistance as they adjust to a new life. Oshra is so grateful for The Fellowship and friends like you. And she hopes we will continue our “wonderful and godly work” to rescue her spiritual brothers and sisters still suffering in Yemen. “I pray that they will all come home soon,” she says. Please help us answer Oshra’s prayers — and the prayers of needy Jews around the world — by making a generous gift to The Fellowship today. With prayers for shalom, peace, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein President

PS     I have seen the horrors and brutality that Jews are subjected to in places like Yemen, Ethiopia, and the former Soviet Union. Does God not command us to care for his chosen people? Please help me fill the next “Freedom Flight” and bring them home to Israel!

PART 2:

Joseph, My friend, we are witnessing the miracle of aliyah and the ingathering of the Jewish people here in Jerusalem. Tragically, there are many thousands of Jews from around the world who are desperate to make this journey but are unable to, simply because they are too poor. Please, watch this important video about the critical mission of bringing God's children home to Israel. In it you will meet Vlad, a little boy from Ukraine whose only wish is to escape the heartbreaking conditions and oppression of the former Soviet Union. Together, we can help fulfill God’s prophecy and bring these Jewish people home to the Holy Land. With prayers for shalom, peace, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein President

MAOZ:
   Dear Friend,

   On the morning of Simchat Torah (the last day of Sukkot), a week ago Monday, over 50 Hamas rockets launched from Gaza hit communities in Israel's south. Only by God's mercy there were no injuries. 

   Throughout this past weekend, rocket barrages continued even as the IDF hit terrorist targets in Gaza.

   Israelis across our nation are preparing for war. We pray that will not happen.

   But the same Scriptures that promise that all Israel will be saved, also foretell that Israel will not have peace until our people open their hearts to the Only One who can save them..

   And so we have water and long-term staples in our bomb shelter. We have flashlights and candles, and a gas burner to heat water.

   However, in Israel there are many who can’t stock up on staples in case there is a war because 20% of the population is now under the poverty line. And in the cities of the south where rockets continually hit, the poverty is chronic and debilitating.

   Businesses are few - and therefore unemployment high - because of the constant rocket attacks from Hamas.

   These people have no other place to go. Many are immigrants who had no idea they were leaving Russia or Eastern Europe only to find themselves in Israel under constant fire.

   Many, especially the children, suffer post-traumatic stress disorder.

   These are the people we want to help.

   In partnership with the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America's large new warehouse in Sderot, Maoz has committed to raise $50,000 to provide floor-to-ceiling shelving for the entire storehouse. That's 258 10-feet-long (3-meters) shelves that can hold 3 pallets of humanitarian aid each.

We have raised just over $31,000 so far,
and only have $19,000 to go!

   Help us make it happen! You can give $65 to help store one pallet of aid. You can give $195 to furnish an entire shelf. Or you can give as much as the Lord leads – no amount is too small!

   The first containers arriving will deliver survival kits for use in the community bomb shelters.

This is our opportunity to help and bless the oppressed families of southern Israel.

   Together, we will see the shelves of this warehouse be fitted against its walls and filled with goods to bring HOPE and LOVE! We will help those in need today, and we continue to bring hope for Eternal Life at the same time.

Thank you for your help in bringing God’s chosen people back to Him!

       Ari & Shira Sorko-Ram

Bless the poor and oppressed in the South of Israel

Example of type of palletized shelving Maoz has committed
to supply for the new S'derot warehouse.

Blessing Israel and Jewish People Through (On Wings of Eagles)

 A biblical call to in gather Israel, and a promise for you to claim!

 On Wings of Eagles friends are acting with commitment and compassion to help every Jewish emigrant possible come home to Israel from the lands of their exile, in response to the biblical mandate: "I will beckon to the Gentiles, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders." Isaiah 49:22

 Fellowship friends like you are helping save Jewish lives through Wings! Yet more emigrants like those in the former Soviet Union, Ethiopia, India, and Arab lands need the miracle of aliyah and klitah.

 Through your faithful contributions, you can help provide rescue and relief for needy Jews like:

 Marina and her elderly mother who made aliyah to Israel from Russia, where they escaped poverty, hunger, and brutal treatment at the hands of hateful bullies.

 Alena and her family who suffered hardships to make their return to Israel from Ethiopia. They spent two months in absorption center while doctors helped them recover from their suffering_and today this family is safe and well in Israel!

 Anna, a young Ukrainian Jewish girl who was abandoned by her parents. As we saw the hopelessness of Anna's situation, we arranged for her to come to Israel, and now Anna is happy young woman looking to the future with true hope_thanks to the commitment of our Fellowship family and members like you!

More Desperate Jews Need Help to Return to Israel!: The Fellowship needs your help to bring more needy Jews home to Israel 'On Wings of Eagles' while there is still time! I urge you to join us today in carrying forward this critical work, and I pray God's great blessing on you, in return, my friend!

How many Jewish girls are trapped in Arab villages?:

Jewish teenage girls from dysfunctional homes are seduced and lured into Arab villages regularly beaten and raped, often locked up with no way to escape. Muhammed calls himself Moshe, and what started out
as a search for love become a nightmare.

At Learn & Live , we work to prevent teenage girls from entering such relationships. We offer them a warm environment, counseling, and nightly activities to help them choose safe relationships and stay off the streets. Our Centers are open every evening, providing a safe haven where at-risk teens gather for fun, support, food, and a listening ear. We reach these girls before they enter abusive relationships and save them before they are entrapped.

We work with over 600 girls in Akko, Tzfat, Haifa, Hadera, Jerusalem and Beersheva.

	Sponsor the rescue of one girl from an Arab village	$5,000
	Sponsor one girl in a shelter for one month	$1,000
	Sponsor one girl to attend Teen Center activities for one month	$600
	Sponsor a special evening for 20 girls	$400
	Sponsor a 24-hour hotline with a counselor for one day	$200
	Sponsor one hour of psychological counseling	$125

To rescue a girl from an abusive relationship is a risky, life-threatening operation.
To prevent a girl from entering such a relationship is our obligation.
Please help us prevent any more Jewish teenagers
from being lured into a life of suffering.

Help the Ethiopian Jews go to Israel:

Joseph, Freedom Flights are boarding now! And we need your help in filling every last seat. Two thousand Ethiopian Jews are desperate to leave the harsh living conditions of refugee camps to return to their biblical homeland, Israel. Time is running out. There are limited days remaining for Ethiopian Jews to make aliyah (immigrate to Israel). Just days left for them to end the excruciating wait to be reunited with family already in Israel. But they can’t do it without you and your generous support of The Fellowship’s On Wings of Eagles ministry. Thanks to your faithful partnership, we are witnesses to the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. These Jews are the “lost” tribe of Dan, and have been praying to return to the land of their forefathers. Your support of our On Wings of Eagles ministry will help them do just that – and will help fulfill God’s promise to “gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth” (Isaiah 11:12). Join us in God’s work, in filling these final Freedom Flights, and together, let’s bring His children home! With prayers for shalom, peace, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein Founder and President

Blessings 2

Joseph, Because of your support, Jewish people living in extreme hardship and facing danger around the world – from those recently under attack by terrorists, to those battling the silent killers of poverty and illness are protected and comforted in their time of need.

Every day I am humbled by friends like you, and your selfless support for our lifesaving programs that give such blessings of strength and peace to God's people. It is only through your generous gifts that The Fellowship is able to provide critical life–sustaining assistance. Together, through your prayers and gifts, we have helped: People like Eli, a young father living in Ashkelon, an Israeli city recently targeted by terrorist rocket fire. Thanks to you, through our Guardians of Israel program we renovated the bomb shelter in Eli’s modest immigrant housing so that it now has running water, electricity, and emergency supplies.

Or Alexander, who was forced to change schools several times in his native Russia due to numerous incidents of anti–Semitism. Thanks to our On Wings of Eagles partners, Alexander was able to move to Israel, where he finally has freedom to learn and feels fully at home. Or Syla, a Holocaust survivor who lives in a two–room shack in Ukraine with no electricity or running water. Thanks to our Isaiah 58 supporters, Syla receives food, medication, heating fuel, and regular visits from a home–care worker. Sadly, while Eli, Alexander and Syla are getting the assistance they need, their stories of hardship continue to be all too common and reflect the heartbreaking conditions that many Jewish people around the world still face every day. However, by donating to The Fellowship right now, you can provide basic necessities to impoverished elderly in Israel, to Holocaust survivors in need, Jewish orphans in the former Soviet Union, and displaced Jews all around the world who long to come to the Holy Land to escape oppression. With so many around the world lacking even basic necessities like food, shelter, and safety, please make the most generous year–end gift you possibly can. On behalf of all those whose lives you touch, “May the Lord bless you from Zion, He who is the Maker of heaven and earth” (Psalm 134:3). Thank you for your selfless generosity—and may this season be a joyous one for you and your loved ones! With prayers for shalom, peace, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein President PS As 2012 closes, I urge you to make a special year–end gift to support The Fellowship’s lifesaving programs that bless Israel and Jewish people around the world.

The Lost Tribes of Israel Journey Home

The Fellowship helps members of the lost tribes of Israel return home.
Source: http://www.youtube.com/user/IFCJ25?feature=watch


One of the most amazing fulfillments of biblical prophecy is the return of Ethiopian Jews to Israel. These exiled people, whose very existence was unknown for centuries, are descendants of the Lost Tribe of Dan.
Rabbi Eckstein, founder and president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews saw first-hand the desire of the Ethiopian Jews to make their prophetic return, "from the four corners of the earth" (Isaiah 11:12) to Israel. For over 20 years The Fellowship and its supporters have helped thousands of Ethiopian Jews make aliyah (immigration to Israel) and with their klitah (resettlement) transition to Israeli culture. And now, this summer will mark the historic conclusion of a lost tribe's journey home.
As you explore this site you will meet families and individuals who risked their lives for the chance to return to the Holy Land, and see the importance of continuing vital klitah programs for these new olim (immigrants) so that Israel and its Ethiopian community continue to prosper and flourish.

Blessings

Joseph, Your partnership with The Fellowship is truly a gift of life for Jewish people around the world who are facing extreme hardships.

Every day I thank God for you and your support for our lifesaving programs that give blessings of strength and peace to God's people. It is such a privilege to be able to provide this kind of life-sustaining assistance.  However, my heart is also heavy for the many sons and daughters of Abraham who need a compassionate friend like you. People like Yevgeniya, an elderly woman in the former Soviet Union (FSU), struggling to stretch her $134-per-month pension for her and her family.  Thanks to you, The Fellowship has been able to provide Yevgeniya and her family with food, clothing, and warm blankets through our Isaiah 58 program.

Or Rosa, who faced harsh persecution in her home country.  Thanks to gifts from our On Wings of Eagles partners she has been able to immigrate to Israel, where she can freely practice her faith. Or Leah, a hardworking Israeli single mother of two who was forced to choose between buying essential medicine for herself or food for her children.  But, thanks to our Guardians of Israel care, now Leah doesn't have to make that choice. Sadly, these three stories reflect the heartbreaking conditions that so many Jewish people around the world are still facing day after day. However, by donating to IFCJ right now, you can provide basic necessities to impoverished elderly in Israel—including Holocaust survivors, Jewish orphans in the former Soviet Union, and Jews all around the world who long to come to the Holy Land to escape oppression. With so many Jewish people in urgent need, please be as generous as you possibly can with your year-end giving.  In Israel alone, nearly 1 million children are growing up in poverty.  Yet with so many of Israel’s resources now needed to protect her people against terrorism and prepare for the possibility of war, these children's needs will largely be left unmet unless we step forward to help today. On behalf of all those whose lives you touch, I pray that you will be blessed according to these biblical words: "May the Lord bless you from Zion, He who is the Maker of heaven and earth" (Psalm 134:3). Thank you for your selfless generosity—and may this season be a joyous one for you and your loved ones. With prayers for shalom, peace, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein President PS With 2011 winding down, I urge you to make a special year-end gift to support IFCJ’s lifesaving programs that bless Israel and Jewish people around the world.

HELP ISRAEL URGENTLY IN THIS YEAR

MAOZ:
Dear Friend,

     Once I heard a favorite minister tell a story of how he asked the Lord a question that was really bothering him. He asked, “Lord, you are so much more powerful than Satan. Why then, does Satan win so many battles, especially when your people are praying?” 

     He said the answer that came back from the Lord was, “STRATEGY.”

     “Satan strategizes with his evil hordes to win a battle, while believers often pray in general terms.”

     Thankfully, there are a growing number of the people of God who do know how to pray strategically and act strategically. The more we ask for specific wisdom from God, the more He will direct us and increase our harvest.

     Sending 22 young Israeli musicians this summer to the Messianic Jewish Alliance’s yearly July conference has strategic importance. These young leaders will absorb the multi-faceted revelation God has given to the Jewish movement in North America and abroad. They will witness a larger harvest of precious Jewish souls than they have seen in Israel.

     They will learn of the skills, talents and creativity given to the Body of Messiah at large.

     They will definitely gain new friends which will strengthen their own walk with the Lord, and give them joy and courage as they catch the vision of how Jews around the world are receiving salvation and becoming leaders in their own communities.

     Furthermore, the North American Messianic Jews and those who come from various countries will receive vision and passion for the lost sheep of Israel.

     It is with delight that Maoz has this opportunity to bring together these 22 Israeli leaders and musicians from seven Messianic Jewish congregations throughout Israel - including an Arab believer who is also a part of the group!

     We want to see them come back home full of grace, fire and even more determination to be a part of the sowers and reapers here in Israel.

     If you grasp the possibilities and the benefits of sending Israeli believers to the Messianic Jewish conference this July, then we invite you to be a part of their growth and vision by investing in their journey.

      May God return to you many, many fold every gift that you give to the Israeli people.

        For the next generation,

       Ari & Shira Sorko-Ram
P.S. Remember, your giving today is an investment in the next generation of Israel’s worship leaders and musicians.

International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

Friend,

For many years now The Fellowship has been participating in a miracle: the ingathering of the Jewish people from the “four corners” of the world to Israel (Isaiah 11:12). Thanks to generous donors like you, our On Wings of Eagles program has helped bring hundreds of thousands of Jews to their spiritual homeland.

Tragically, there are thousands of Jews in the former Soviet Union, Arab nations, and Ethiopia many of whom are suffering from extreme poverty and living with the threat of anti-Semitic violence and oppression who can’t make this trip on their own. This is when they turn to The Fellowship for help, and we have the blessing of bringing them home to Israel. But we need your help.

Please watch this important video to witness the profound impact that making aliyah (immigration) to Israel has on these Jews and then be a partner in prophecy by bringing them home to the Holy Land.

With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President

CUFI ON CAMPUS:

Dear Friend, Ask Holocaust Survivor Irving Roth how the Nazis successfully carried out their agenda and he will answer with one word: Demonization. While the Nazis were defeated, the demonization of the Jews continues. In particular, this demonization — of both Jews and the Jewish State of Israel — is finding a home on our college campuses and shaping the minds of our future leaders. The boldness of these attacks are in part due to decades of silence from Christian students who were either unaware or unable to speak the truth. Hope is on the horizon as we raise up Christian student leaders across the USA who are standing up for Israel and the Jewish people. When we say, "Never Again," we mean it. But we have much more work to do. Before I worked for CUFI, I was a student activist in my home town of Portland, Oregon. I watched as high school students danced to the anti-Semitic lyrics of an anti-Israel band, while shocked parents of Jewish students begged the school board to put a stop to it. When the school board refused, our CUFI on campus chapter took action. Because of our CUFI on Campus chapter's opposition, our small Jewish community in Portland witnessed tens of thousands CUFI members from across the country rally in their support. They told me, "CUFI on Campus gives us hope." Currently, CUFI has over 100 recognized chapters and a presence on 220 campuses across America. That's not enough! We need to be on one thousand campuses! Sadly, the Israel haters don't have to beg and borrow to fund their campus activities they are generously bankrolled by powerful interests. Our pro-Israel Christian students deserve better. They deserve our generous support! That is why we need your help. We have more Christian students than ever who want to speak up for Israel on campus. We just need the financial support to provide the training and resources to enable this volunteer army to compete against a powerful and wealthy anti-Israel coalition. Your action ensures the CUFI on Campus program can reach the most crucial campuses and the brightest Christian leaders at this most urgent time. We ask that you make a prayerful decision to help us.

In 2012, Visit Israel with The Fellowship

2011 Journey Home Tour group

From November 3-12, 2012 The Fellowship will host its annual Journey Home to Israel Tour. Participants will travel the Holy Land, walking in the footsteps of the patriarchs, the apostles, and Jesus. Scripture will come alive for them as they visit the biblical sites they have read about for years. They will gain new insights into the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, and as so many previous tour participants have told us, their walk with God will truly never be the same.

One of the wonderful things about the Journey Home Tour is that it allows me to spend time with Fellowship friends like you. As we have in the past, during this tour I will share a traditional Jewish Sabbath meal with participants, and discuss the Jewish history and biblical themes encountered in the course of the tour.

In addition, we'll again have the chance to visit Fellowship projects, so that you can see firsthand the lifesaving impact our partners' generosity has on Israel and Jewish people worldwide. When you have served food to a hungry person at a Fellowship-sponsored soup kitchen, seen the smiling faces of boys and girls at a Fellowship-supported children's home, or witnessed the gratitude of new immigrants helped through our On Wings of Eagles program, you view the work of The Fellowship with deeper understanding.

When you come to Israel, you are truly blessed by the experience and you, in turn, are a blessing to the people of Israel, especially now, when Israel continues to come under harsh criticism from many world leaders and in the media. When I see the throngs of Christian tour groups walking the crowded streets of Jerusalem's Old City, or visiting the many biblical and historical sites throughout the country, these criticisms lose much of their sting. For Israelis, it is so heartening to know that we have friends like you who show their solidarity and support by coming to Israel to walk the streets with us, experiencing firsthand the blessings of the country God Himself called "the land flowing with milk and honey" (Exodus 33:3).

2011 is about to end and 2012 will begin, and November may seem a long way away. But a trip to Israel requires preparation. Because of this and since spaces on the tour fill up quickly, I strongly urge you to register soon. I encourage you to visit the Journey Home section of our website to learn about this one-of-a-kind tour. There you'll find the itinerary planned for the 2012 tour, a daily journal of previous tours, testimonies from previous tour participants, and much more.

The Fellowship's Journey Home Tour to Israel offers a unique and unforgettable experience, one you will always hold in your heart. I hope to see you this fall in the Holy Land, as we "journey home" together.

With prayers for shalom, peace,



Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
