For many centuries, Christians and Jews have not been able to reach a point where they could see eye to eye, until recently thanks to a man named Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein. The Rabbi Eckstein founded and is president of Christians and Jews and Goodwill Ambassador for the State of Israel. This book, The Bridge Builder, is an Authorized Biography by Zev Chafets. When Zev first began to write about the Rabbi, he wasn't quite sure what he was all about, but as time tells us at the end of this book and as the legacy continues on today, the Rabbi felt there were many Christians who knew there was a desperate need for the support and well being of Israel and it's people and he knew he was chosen to be the person to do this today. At this time in history, not just Israel, but the entire Western world faces the rising threat of Islamist terrorism and growing anti-Semitism. This is why Rabbi Eckstein feels the neccessity to protect the Jews.
