The following program, “Bless Israel with Rabbi

Yechiel Eckstein,” is made possible through the

friends and supporters of The International

Fellowship of Christians and Jews… presenting

the plight facing God's chosen people today, so

that you can be a blessing to them through your

prayers and Christian love.

Here’s the president and founder of The

Fellowship, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: My friends we're facing

2 turbulent tumultuous times around the world today.

MALE SPEAKER: Many are calling an Arab spring is more like a radical Islamic winter.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: We are witnessing the rise of antisemitism around the world. In Europe --

FEMALE SPEAKER: Many little children on the floor, with blood around them.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: In the former Soviet Union.

FEMALE SPEAKER: The neighbors say we will poison you dirty

Jews, they say it openly.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Terrorist attacks.

MALE SPEAKER: They say they were tortured and killed before the final shooting.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Time is not on our side.

MALE SPEAKER: [Hebrew spoken] exist and is big problem.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Every Jew who is in need of escaping from the forces of antisemitism today there is an

Israel, that is the home for every Jew who flees there.

MALE SPEAKER: It's our Promised Land. It's a very important --

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Time is of the essence. We must seize this opportunity today in this miracle of God bringing his children home on Wings of Eagles.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: The phenomena of antisemitism, people who hate Jews and are prejudice towards the Jewish people

3 has been with us perhaps from the very time of existence of the

Jewish people.

But for many of us in North America the concept of antisemitism may seem foreign.

MALE SPEAKER: The Jews killed Jesus.

MALE SPEAKER: Jews did not kill Jesus.

MALE SPEAKER: God is going to come after them with a vengeance.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: It's just not a part of our culture. But here in the former Soviet Union antisemitism continues to be a very real force.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: I was walking down the main road here in Kharkov, the city in the former Soviet Union and I came across this and I looked across the street and I saw the same graffiti and I saw it and I said the past is still here. And we're learning in the newspapers of attacks in synagogues and of assaults on Jews in the universities. And now, we're seeing fresh graffiti attacking Jews.

OKSANA GALKEVICH: This inscription says that Yids should all be stabbed. Yid is a derogatory, negative word for Jew used all over the former Soviet Union. This is the name that the

Nazis called Jews when they put us -- yellow Star of David, it's the same now.

FEMALE SPEAKER: They called us Yid and I realized that I am a Jew and because of the antisemitism that I felt it was very

4 important for me and for my family to come to Israel.

NATAN SHARANSKY: There is a lot of street antisemitism, there are a lot of anti-Semitic feelings and there is no future for Jews in most of the parts of the former Soviet Union.

FEMALE SPEAKER: My name is Alexa and I came from Russia and the main reason my wife and I decided to leave was antisemitism, it was really awful there and we just did not want to bring up our children in a situation that was frightening.

NATAN SHARANSKY: Jews are in real danger. There are tens of thousand Jews who have to be rescued. I believe that we help to bring them to make Aliyah.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Aliyah means literally going up.

And you find it in the Bible; let us go up to Zion. When you come to Israel to live you come on Aliyah, you are going up spiritually in the sense that you are closer with God.

There are still thousands, tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of Jews yearning to come to this Holy

Land. Jews who, cannot afford to pay for their trip themselves.

FEMALE SPEAKER: It's very hard to describe for someone in the west.

FEMALE SPEAKER: [Hebrew spoken]

FEMALE SPEAKER: The antisemitism that still lives here in the former Soviet Union.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Valentina is the mother of five children

5 and when they went out for one Shabbat in the synagogue --

FEMALE SPEAKER: -- the neighbors they broke the door, came in and stole all what they have and left a note, “dirty Jews go out.”

FEMALE SPEAKER: The neighbors told them we will poison you and you will all be dead, we will accomplish Hitler's task,

Hitler lives in our heart Valentina's neighbor told her. And she's frightened now so, she has to live in fear because they promise her that they will poison her.

ANNOUNCER ASK #1

(With feeling) There are thousands of people who desperately want to flee to Israel. But time is not on our side. It’s important to do what we can now while the doors to immigration are still open in most countries to bring these persecuted Jews home to Israel. Every month throughout 2016, The Fellowship is conducting Ukraine Freedom Flights, rescuing Jews out of the war-torn regions of the former Soviet Union and flying them to a new life in Israel. With a generous gift of $1,500 you can help one Jew return to Israel from a life of brutal hardship and religious persecution.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: There are thousands of people who

7 need to flee to Israel. And it is imperative that we do what we can now, while we have the opportunity to do so; while the doors are open in most countries, to brings those Jews here to

Jerusalem. Time is not on our side. Today we have that opportunity to join with God in the fulfillment of these prophesies in providing hope in the midst of what may appear like a hopeless situation by tangibly and meaningfully bringing them to freedom, enabling them to escape anti-Semitism.

MALE SPEAKER: To be Christians supporting this organization, for us it's all about showing the love of Jesus.

Then I go back to God's word where he says I will bless those that bless Israel and I will curse those that curse Israel. And we would encourage anybody to step up, take that step of faith and see if God is true to his word. If, you will bless Israel, he will bless you.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: The Bible teaches us to bless the people of Israel, the Jewish people. How do you bless them?

Well, certainly you can bless them through your words. Bless them by speaking out against antisemitism.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Jews attacked. Cemeteries destroyed. Threats of terrorism against Jewish institutions.

But very often it's also beneath the surface, systemic to the society in which is exists.

FEMALE SPEAKER: There is something which is called

8 everyday antisemitism. I feel this. And I do not want it.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: When a child goes to school and because of his or her name is called dirty Jew. Where a person can't get a job because the boss doesn't like Jews.

MALE SPEAKER: I met a lot of newcomers from Russia and they said that we never felt equal, not in the university, not in the hospitals, not in getting jobs, not in -- no where.

FEMALE SPEAKER: My parents they weren't ah, promoted in their jobs, my mother heard at work don't you have like a, a country of your own to go there?

MALE SPEAKER: This kind of antisemitism, once you face it personally there is a terror atmosphere there for the Jewish people.

FEMALE SPEAKER: [Hebrew]

FEMALE SPEAKER: We came because of a lot of antisemitism in the Ukraine, people would come knocking at our doors and ah, call out anti-Semitic remarks and tell us to go back to our own country.

FEMALE SPEAKER: [Hebrew]

FEMALE SPEAKER: And my mother basically was very worried for my safety so we decided to pack up and come and live in

Israel.

[Singing]

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: The ingathering of the Jewish people is a sign of the redemptive period for the world. It's a

9 sign that God has not forsaken his people. That God's words in the Bible through the prophets, foretelling a day when the

Jewish people would be ingathered from the four corners of the world and come right here to Jerusalem to Israel when those prophesies would be fulfilled. That God's word is true.

MALE SPEAKER: For all of them to begin to come home, to fulfill the prophecy after they've been scattered all over the world for these hundreds of years and to know that we can be a part of that and help that is even more just such a blessing to us.

11 RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: My friends, that's why we need your help now to fight the battle against antisemitism, to help those Jews in countries where they are oppressed to flee to

Israel. And time my friends is of the essence.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: We are witnessing a very, very difficult, dangerous rise of Islamist radicalism around the world.

NATAN SHARANSKY: If we would look broader on the world, we believe there are at least 70,000 Jews who are in real danger due to some Arab country, Jews of Iran who are in big danger.

Each of them is a person who tomorrow can be persecuted or declared a, a hostage.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Jews are coming from the four corners of the world and there are countries in distress especially

Ethiopia that on Wings of Eagles helps bring them from there as well. But because of the sensitivity of the situation and the possibility of the closing of the doors we need very quickly to get them out and in to Israel. The fact is that their life is an extraordinarily difficult one, living under very, very harsh, gruesome, difficult conditions, seeking desperately to come to their homeland. The situation today is a very sensitive, very complex one.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: It is important number one to pray

12 that the doors of immigration continue to remain open and it's important to expedite this Aliyah quickly while we have the opportunity to do so.

MALE SPEAKER: Believe it, it's our Promised Land, our

Promised Land, it's a very important.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: The Bible says rescue the weak and the oppressed, rescue them, rescue them.

MALE SPEAKER: Please.

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: Time has already run out for many Jews that have been waiting for their rescue and return. Doors which were once open have recently closed for good due to anti-Israel politics, antisemitism and economic collapses. Right now we fear that others may soon close. It is imperative that we act now.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: To stand with the Jewish people, to help those Jews in need in Israel and around the world, precisely during these difficult challenging times.

ANNOUNCER ASK #3

13 takes to help rescue one Jewish life is a phone call from you and a loving gift of $1,500, $500 or $150, whatever God is placing upon your heart to give today. Here’s that special telephone number for you to call. 844-80- WINGS. That’s 844-80-WINGS. 844-80-WINGS. The restoration of Israel is one of the greatest promises of God in history. God is working to bring his people back home, and now today, you can be a part of this biblical prophecy. Please call right now. 844-80-WINGS. Again, that’s 844-80- WINGS. A friend Fellowship operator is standing by waiting for your call. Desperate, poor Jews, many of them street orphans and elderly Holocaust survivors, living in Ukraine and other parts of the former Soviet Union, are hoping and praying that one day, they’ll be able to come home to Israel, to the Promised Land. You can make this possible today, right where you are, with one phone call. 844-80-WINGS. That’s 844-80-WINGS. Numerically, the number is 844-809-4647. That’s 844-809-4647.

14 RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: My friends, the dream of the Jewish people for centuries has been to return to this land, to this city and thank God over the past hundred years Jews have returned to this land from Russian, from Ethiopia, from India.

We've discovered and brought to Israel some of the Lost Tribes.

But the battle is not over yet. The redemption has not come yet.

NEWS REPORTER: The bodies of the six Israeli and Jewish victims murdered by Islamic terrorist in Mumbai will arrive in

Israel around 11 o'clock --

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: The Chabad House in Mumbai, India was attacked and the young Rabbi and his wife were killed.

FEMALE REPORTER: Synagogues around the world have increased their security after the tragedy.

MALE REPORTER: They found Rivkah and her husband dead, police say they were tortured and killed before the final shootout.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: This is antisemitism today.

There's a growing antisemitism even in Europe, in Western

Europe, countries where there's been a growth of Islamic radicals, places like France.

FEMALE REPORTER: Fears of antisemitism in Europe are rising again after a deadly shooting at a Jewish school in

Toulouse, France.

15 FEMALE REPORTER: A Jewish community under attack in a quiet neighborhood, but they were targeted because of their religion.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Parents shouting and crying, many little children on the floor with blood around them.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Jews are encountering antisemitism not at the states sponsored level but at the grassroots level.

MALE SPEAKER: One time when I was in Germany the train was full of skin heads. There was 20 or more guys and ah, they tell me Hitler have ah, the birthday, we will go to the house where he get the power. And they attack me, they broke my hand,

Nazism exists, real exist and is big problem.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Hatred and prejudice are not things that we are born with. Man through his free choice, he chooses between good and evil.

[Singing]

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Six million Jews died in the

Shoah, the Holocaust of World War II.

[Singing]

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: It's hard to even comprehend that event, to fathom the magnitude of the numbers, to remember that they were people one, two, three, four, five, each an individual life. How could people do that? How could such evil be demonstrated?

[Singing]

16 RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: Today, Christians have an opportunity by helping sponsor every Jew in need of escaping antisemitism, Christians can demonstrate solidarity with the

Jewish people and a promise for Israel's future by sharing in this vision. By helping sponsor Jews who seek to come to Israel on Wings of Eagles.

RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN: My friends we are all aware of the fact that antisemitism has been around for 2,000 years, perhaps even longer. And that there were many generations of those who called themselves Christians who in the name of their Lord Jesus

Christ oppressed, tormented, persecuted and killed Jews. Today, we are witnessing the opposite. We are witnessing in our time what I believe to be the miracle of Christians providing a witness of God's love to the Jewish people. We're seeing

Christians who through their deeds, through their actions are blessing the Jewish people, who are reversing that history of oppressing Jews in the name of the Lord and instead blessing

Jews in the name of their Lord.
