Overview

Origins
ETRFI was founded in Jerusalem in February 1966 by a group of clergy and theologians living in Israel. They shared the feeling that recent history demanded a fundamental consideration of Christian attitudes towards the Jewish faith and people, and that the State of Israel offered a unique setting for facing this task together.

Objectives
  • To deepen the Christian relationship with Jews, Judaism and Israel.
  • To draw together the different Christian traditions into a theological fraternity.
  • To be a catalyst in Christian-Jewish dialogue and reconciliation worldwide.

Today, ETRFI is the recognized roof-organization for Christians engaged in Christian-Jewish dialogue in Israel. It is also the ecumenical group containing the widest range of members from all the historic churches.

Affiliations

ETRFI collaborates with a very great range of organizations and institutions in Israel, including all Christian institutions and many Jewish ones.
