With anti-Israel protesters around the world rallying against the Jewish state, a group of rabbis in Israel and North America gathered with leading evangelical pastors and other leaders from the Christian community for a Zoom webinar this past Sunday night to reaffirm their commitment towards working together to stand up for Israel and combat anti-Semitism.
The event was organized by Rabbi Tuly Weisz, founder of Israel365, an organization committed to connecting Christians with the Land of Israel and its people. Other sponsor organizations included the Ohr Torah Stone educational institutions, the Religious Zionists of America World Mizrachi Branch and StandWithUs.
Weisz told the group that while he viewed the past 10 years as the “golden age of Jewish/Christian relations,” he felt some “cracks in the system” following three specific events in recent weeks. Those included the discovery of a family in Jerusalem serving as secret Christian missionaries, along with the findings of a recent study commissioned by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, administered by the Barna Group (as reported by The Times of Israel) indicating that young evangelicals might not be as supportive of Israel as their parents.
