CJUI is a multi-denominational constituency of people providing
factual information to the community in support of Israel and her people.
|
 We live in a world that is
increasingly anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and anti-Christian… a time when
moral clarity and righteousness are an endangered species. Yet, in
these difficult times CJUI is building a bridge of common decency and
purpose, with clarity, courage and determination.
CJUI is
uniquely positioned to bring Christian and Jewish volunteers
and resources together to take concrete actions in support of Israel,
the national and biblical homeland for Jews. CJUI takes a leadership
role in the fight to counter lies and misinformation about Israel and
the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Refusing to
ignore the winds of evil, we stand up to defend liberty and
the freedom to exercise our faith in America and throughout the world.
All the while we are seeing local pastors and rabbis and Christians and
Jews coming together in common purpose, strengthening our mutual bond
of trust and friendship. It is truly a miracle that must keep
multiplying! |
CJUI Mission
Christians and Jews United for Israel was
formed in Massachusetts in 2006. Its members, officers, steering
committee and advisory board include many prominent Christian and Jewish
community leaders, activists and clergy who are concerned about Israel’s security,
welfare, future and treatment by the media.
CJUI is making a difference. We are
defending Israel against some of the most virulent anti-Israel groups. We are
demonstrating that these groups are more easily defeated when confronted by
both Christian and Jewish activists.
More and more individuals and organizations
are recognizing that passivity in the face of assault will lead to a worsening
situation. Led by their consciences and biblical convictions, both
Christians and Jews are welcoming a first ever opportunity to embrace one
another and share their common love for Israel in an active way.
For
example, we sponsored a March and Rally for Jerusalem in
Brookline in May 2010 that drew well over 500 enthusiastic
participants. Our members have also actively participated in rallys and
events in New York City, Washington DC and in Florida. In
October 2007, CJUI volunteers demonstrated in Boston, against an anti-Israel conference being held within a church. We passed out hundreds of brochures
focusing on Israel’s history as the Middle East’s only peace-loving democracy.
GOALS:
● Unite Christian and Jewish activists in
material and spiritual support of a
strong Israel.
● Create an effective alert system to
mobilize community opposition to anti-
Israel events and initiatives.
● Promote dialogue between Christian
and Jewish leaders for the benefit of
Israel.
ACTIVITIES:
● Present speakers at churches,
synagogues, and community centers
to address Israeli-Palestinian issues.
● Join with other like-minded Christian-
Jewish groups in support of Israel.
● Create outreach to churches targeted
by anti-Israel forces.
● Maintain a website to disseminate
current and accurate information about
Israel.
● Participate in demonstrations
countering anti-Israel programs.
