Turning Despair into Hope for Suffering Israelis
Posted by admin in Aid Services on September 23rd, 2009

Poverty continues to be a desperate problem in Israel. Reports show that in 2006 the number of poor Israelis rose to over 20 percent of the population, a staggering 1.6 million people – including one in three Israeli children and over 20 percent of Israel’s elderly, which includes tens of thousands of Holocaust survivors. The Fellowship’s Guardians of Israel program responds to this desperate situation through initiatives that ease the suffering of needy Israelis by providing:
* Food distributed through soup kitchens, meals on wheels and food box programs
* Medical assistance, including prescription programs, support for doctor visits and in-home medical care
* Support for the elderly including food, medicine, and grants to pay for essential needs such as winter heating
* Support for children including school hot lunch and school supply programs, day care centers, and children’s homes
* Emergency relief in the form of housing, clothing, food, and medical care for Israelis with nowhere else to turn

Our Mission
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews™ of Canada is a registered Canadian non-profit. Our charitable registration number is 86941 1587 RR0001.
Our mission is to foster better relations and understanding between Christians and Jews; encourage greater cooperation between both communities on issues of shared biblical concern; and support Israel and Jews in crises or need.
Building Bridges
Misunderstanding and prejudice between Jews and Christians remain today, in large part, due to a lack of communication between the two groups. This is particularly true in Jewish relations with Evangelicals. Issues inevitably arise that create tension and ill will between the communities. In addition, many opportunities for inter-religious cooperation through joint programs on behalf of shared concerns are lost due to this lack of communication. It is against such a 2,000 year backdrop of fear, ignorance and mistrust that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Canada carries out its bridge-building work.
