Rabbi Yechiel Zvi Eckstein, founder and president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, died suddenly on Feb. 6 in Jerusalem. He was 67. The fellowship, under his chairmanship, raised about $500 million each year for Israel and various Jewish causes.

The Fellowship is a philanthropic organization founded in 1983. Its goal is to promote understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians, and to build broad support for the State of Israel.
