As the national Co-director of Interreligious Affairs for the Anti-Defamation League in Chicago, Eckstein, an Orthodox rabbi, began to forge partnerships with evangelical Christians. In 1983, he established the Holyland Fellowship of Christians and Jews to promote Jewish-Christian cooperation on projects for improving the safety and security of Jews in Israel and around the world.[2]
In 1991, the organization was renamed the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
The Fellowship collects over $100 million a year in donations for Israel, half of which are spent in Israel itself, supporting soup kitchens, absorption centers, and bomb shelter renovations. $25 million a year is spent on Jewish aid programs.[3]
In 2003, Eckstein founded the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Canada;[4] in 2006, La Fraternidad Internacional de Cristianos y Judíos;,[5] in 2012, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Australia,[6] and, also in 2012, a new Fellowship affiliate in South Korea.[7]
