The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), founded in 1983 by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, is a nonprofit focused on fostering Jewish-Christian cooperation and providing humanitarian aid to Jewish communities globally. Now led by Yael Eckstein, the organization has expanded its reach to assist Holocaust survivors, impoverished families, and war victims while promoting support for Israel.

IFCJ’s initiatives include:
– : Facilitates Jewish immigration (aliyah) to Israel from regions like the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia.
– : Delivers food, medical aid, and housing support to vulnerable Israelis.
– : Provides essentials like meals and medicine to elderly Jews and orphans in the former Soviet Union.
– : Mobilizes Christian advocacy for Israel’s security and combats media bias.

In 2022, IFCJ raised $228 million, allocating $132 million to grants (primarily for partner organizations), $62 million to fundraising, and $16 million to employee compensation. CEO Yael Eckstein oversees operations, while her late father previously received $2.9 million in annual compensation. The organization holds a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator.

Amid ongoing conflicts, IFCJ prioritizes emergency aid for Israelis affected by war, including Passover food boxes for elderly Jews and trauma support for terror victims. Their work also includes placing bomb shelters and assisting Ukrainian Jews fleeing persecution.

Critics have raised concerns about high executive pay and fundraising costs, but the organization maintains a focus on bridging religious divides and addressing humanitarian crises.
