It looks like a scam, playing on the emotions of Christians that have bought into the whole dispensationalism heresy.
Thanks Mr. Darby, thanks a lot.  |

You sure its for Israel, and not for Jews in Siberia?
I have seen the commercials for sending money for food boxes for Jews in Russia, where they are supposedly (since I don't know for sure, and thats what the commercial implies) mistreated/persona non grata....they always show some old babushka in a hut made of twigs and such.... Never saw one for Israel.... |

Tried to find the commercial online but couldn't. I did, however, find a transcript.
It's by the "International Fellowship of Christians & Jews". It opens with a person identified as Rabbi Yechel Eckstein explaining:
“Each of these food boxes represents a gift of life for people here in Israel who are in desperate need. These are very difficult times for Israel and the Jewish people as the government spends more and more of its resources for battling terrorism. The situation has become a crisis. Every week the lines get longer and longer, more and more people come – you can see the desperation for food. The Bible teaches: Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob. He upholds the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Psalm 146: 5-7 This is pasta. This $25 Food Box will provide one desperately needy family here in Israel with food, with hope and with a note inside each of these saying that it’s from Christians and Jews in America who seek to bless them.” Female Voiceover: “With your phone call, right now, a food box will go out to one desperate family in Israel. Inside the food box is a special note that will bless them and let them know that America stands strong in solidarity with Israel in their struggle for survival.” Rabbi again: “Many of these people are ill, they’re sick, they’re alone – they don’t have the money to afford things that many of us, most of us, take for granted. I ask you to please help – go to your phone and tell us that you stand with Israel at her time of need.” Female Voiceover: “Israel and its people need your help now. You can make a life-changing difference by calling and saying that you will give e a $25 Food Box to help a family in need in Israel. Thank you and God bless you for your support.” |

A quick Google search turns up this site: http://www.wildolivebranches.org/ifcj-a-scam/
This little gem if true is from that link: “…As the head of a nonprofit that is almost entirely supported by donations, what makes Yechiel Eckstein’s compensation noteworthy is its proportion to his organization’s overall income compared to other ministries. While the salary and benefit package of the head of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (ICFJ) is at least five times higher than any other leader of an Israel-related ministry, clocking in at $1.2 million, Eckstein’s compensation is more than double what the president of World Vision—a ministry with a budget 10 times larger—earns…” |

1. Learn to spell "Israel" you you are going to mock it.
2. "$25 dollar"? Does that mean you pay twice? Or do you mean that it originally cost a dollar - but you are paying $25 for the "dollar" box? |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yechiel_Eckstein
Criticism A July 24, 2005, New York Times magazine article by Zev Chafets notes: “Some of Eckstein’s fellow Orthodox rabbis would like to exile him for consorting with Christians,” adding, “Even those who applaud Eckstein’s philanthropies are sometimes skeptical about what he calls his ‘ministry.’ For Jews, who are used to seeing themselves as victims of bigotry, the saga of Yechiel Eckstein raises uncomfortable questions about who loves – and who hates – whom.”[3] For decades, according to the Times article, Orthodox critics have accused Eckstein of being a closet Christian; in addition, The Jewish Observer, the house magazine of the ultra-Orthodox organization Agudath Israel of America, called Eckstein’s work “a curse.” The Times article also states, “Many of the Jews who once derided Eckstein for depending on the kindness of strangers now want to be his best friends.”[3] According to the Times article, Abraham Foxman, Anti-Defamation League national director, remains one of Eckstein’s most prominent critics, accusing the rabbi of “selling the dignity of the Jewish people” by pandering to Christians. Eckstein has no apologies for his support from Christians, insisting he does more than fund-raising. “It’s a ministry,” he told the Times reporter.[3] |

I asked the same question last year and from what I understand they are on the up and up as far as what % of the donated monies go to disadvantaged Jews. One of the better ones in fact.
