Six years ago, The Fellowship lost its beloved founder, and Yael Eckstein lost her beloved father. The sudden passing of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein on February 6, 2019, left a hole in the hearts of so many—his family, his friends, and the millions of lives touched by his lifework.
On this podcast, Yael celebrates her father’s extraordinary life with a special guest—Beryl Eckstein, her father’s younger brother. In this very personal and emotional episode, Beryl recalls growing up with Yechiel, walks us through the early, painful days when his brother was ostracized by the Jewish community for his work reaching out to Christians, and honors the lasting legacy of Rabbi Eckstein’s historic bridge-building work.
You won’t want to miss this inspiring tribute to a man whose vision literally changed the course of Jewish-Christian relations.
