WHO WE ARE
CJUI's officers, board, and members include prominent Christian and Jewish community leaders, activists and clergy who are concerned about Israel’s security, welfare, future, and treatment by the media.
CJUI takes a leadership role in the fight to counter lies and misinformation about Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
CJUI is uniquely positioned to bring people and resources together to take concrete actions in support of Israel, the national and biblical homeland of the Jewish people.
CJUI is a multi-denominational constituency of Christians and Jews who refuse to remain silent in the face of evil, and who stand up to defend liberty and the free exercise of faith in America and throughout the world.
CJUI is making a difference. Our work demonstrates that enemies of Israel, liberty, and people of faith are more easily defeated when confronted by Christians and Jews who are united in conscience, conviction and purpose.

CURRENT PRESIDENT
Tricia has a Masters in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena CA, a Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont CA, and ministerial credentials with Assemblies of God.

Through the work of CAMERA’s Partnership of Christians and Jews, she educates Christians about current issues in relation to Israel through conferences, teaching and publications, equipping them to take action in support of the Jewish State.
Tricia has been a member of the Board of NCLCI, the National Christian Leadership Conference for Israel, for 8 years and currently serves as its President.
PAST PRESIDENTS
MAY LONG
Founder and 1st President of CJUI

FUMIO TAKU
2nd President of CJUI

“I stand with Israel as a national homeland for the Jewish people and Jerusalem as its undivided capital. I support its laws and policies that would provide equal justice, safety, and liberty to its citizens of all ethnic and religious backgrounds, clearly distinguishing Israel as the leading beacon of freedom and human rights in the Middle East.”
RAY HANNA
3rd President of CJUI
2014 -2019
"As a Christian, my faith rests on the God of Israel and His holy scriptures, which clearly state that the Land and people of Israel are inseparable. It is my joy to stand with our Jewish neighbors in support of Israel and of our Judeo-Christian values."
