This is the role of the Israel Christian Nexus, to bring together (connect) Christians and Jews in support of Israel and of our shared Judeo-Christian heritage and values.
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to live together in unity."
The Israel Christian Nexus was created in 2002 to bring Christians and Jews together in support of the people and state of Israel. Established by one of Israel's founding fathers and one of its most decorated war heroes, General Shimon Erem (ret.), the organization is guided by a Board of Advisors that includes prominent Christian and Jewish clergy and community leaders from across a broad spectrum of denominations and traditions.
A principal focus of the Israel Christian Nexus is education -- working with churches, synagogues and religious schools on programs to promote better understanding of Israel's past and present from both a biblical and historical perspective and to bring the two communities together in expressions of solidarity.
The Nexus also serves as a resource for Jewish and Christian groups on issues facing the Middle East today and on the escalating worldwide threat to Judeo-Christian values and democratic societies from fundamentalist Islam.
The Israel Christian Nexus is a nonprofit program of the Promoting Israel Education Fund founded with a grant from the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles and supported through the generosity of churches, synagogues, Jewish and Christian community groups and individuals who share our vision for a more secure Israel.
MISSION STATEMENT
