JERUSALEM -- November 12, 2026 -- More than 600 Christian leaders and pastors spent eight days in Israel from November 4 to 11, and one evening of the trip ended with a lifetime award for the head of a Christian-Jewish charity. The Black Christian Leadership Council on Israel Relations gave Yael Eckstein, President and Global CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship), its Lifetime Achievement Award at a gala in Jerusalem on November 9.
The gala fell on day six of an eight-day Holy Land tour
The dinner was part of the council's 'Unfinished Business' tour. The delegation included Black American and African pastors. The council says the trip aimed to commemorate Black-Israel solidarity and to stand with the Jewish community amid rising anti-Semitism.
