Christians United for Israel Speak at Beth El Synagogue Center

Two leaders from Christians United for Israel will speak about who Christian Zionists are and why they support Israel on Thursday, Dec. 9 at Beth El Synagogue Center in New Rochelle, in a free lecture sponsored by the synagogue's Israel Affairs Committee.

Pastor Victor Styrsky, Eastern Regional Coordinator, and David Brog, Executive Director, of CUFI, will talk about the work of the 500,000-member strong organization, which was formed only five years ago and has already sent $50 million to Israel. CUFI organizes events to honor Israel at churches nationwide and does outreach on more than 200 college campuses.

Pastor Styrsky has devoted his life to working to strengthen ties with the Jewish people. He is a frequent speaker at synagogues and churches, AIPAC events and on college campuses and is the author of "Honest to God, Christian Zionists Confront 10 Questions Jews Need Answered.''
