When asked her thoughts on the churches that don’t support Israel and the Jews, Yael commented, “It shows people how strong the evil is in the world right now. Unfortunately there has always been anti-Semitism in the church for the past 2,000 years.”
She said the recent tide of anti-Semitism in the church now just shows how strong the enemy is that they can sneak into the church and have such a negative influence.
“The enemy is using fallacy and lies to infiltrate the churches to not support Israel.”
Yael added, “It is positive that millions of Christians are bucking this trend in support of Israel. There is a new generation of Christians that are reading their Bible and seeing that they should support Israel. We have the Judeo-Christian values. We’re linked in values whether we like it or not.”
She said that Christians are starting to realize more of the historic and biblical roots of their faith.
“If you want to understand Christianity, look at what Jesus was studying, look at the Torah. Go back to learn and study the Torah.”
“If you want to understand Christianity, look at what Jesus was studying, look at the Torah. Go back to learn and study the Torah," said Eckstein.
Yael says they believe the IFCJ is helping to fulfill biblical prophecy of bringing home the Jews that are dispersed around the world.
On top of bringing the Jews home from Russia, they have been helping bring home Jews of Ethiopia, India and the Arab world.
Due to the sensitivity of the Arab Aliyah efforts they cannot even say where they are helping these Jews come to Israel as it is illegal for them to leave.
As an organization the IFCJ doesn’t identify dispersed Jews as part of their mission.
They work with the Israeli government to access the need and then develop a program to bring them back to Israel.
When asked further about using DNA testing to identify dispersed Jews she said the concept is interesting because of the broad array of Israelis that were dispersed throughout history.
