In a powerful display of interfaith unity, 300 rabbis, pastors, and other religious leaders gathered this week in Washington, D.C. for Israel Advocacy Day, organized by Eagles’ Wings Ministries, American Christian Leaders for Israel, Zionist Rabbinic Coalition, Israel Allies Foundation, and Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM).
The annual gathering underscored the urgency of bipartisan action to protect Israel, confront rising antisemitism, and address the Iran nuclear threat.
“Antisemitism thrives in silence and division, but the discrimination and violence faced by Jewish communities demand a united response,” CAM Director of Christian Outreach and Engagement EJ Kimball said. “When Christians join Jews in prayer, advocacy, and action to support Israel and defend the Jewish people, we forge a powerful alliance that can shift hearts, influence policies, and foster peace.”
“Israel stands as a beacon of religious freedom in the Middle East, where Christians and Jews alike benefit from its democratic protections,” Kimball added. “Together, our shared commitment can dismantle hatred and build a future of mutual respect and security.”
On Wednesday morning, Kimball co-led with Dr. Os Guinness a workshop on antisemitism for evangelical Christian pastors. In his presentation, Kimball highlighted the importance of Christian support for the Jewish people, outlined the many modern-day forms of antisemitism, and explained how Christians can help fight the world’s oldest hatred.
