Announced:

Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC) in Efrat Appoints Dr. Mike Cohen as its Traveling Scholar

EFRAT, ISRAEL - Ohr Torah Stone Chancellor Rabbi Shlomo Riskin has appointed CJCUC’s Israel faculty member Dr. Mike Cohen as the first “CJCUC Traveling Scholar” with a mandate to assist and enhance the Center’s relations with the Christian communities in North America. Dr. Cohen has taken leave of his position at Bar-Ilan University’s Overseas Program in Israel to accept this appointment.

Since Rabbi Riskin’s appearances on Glenn Beck TV during the Restoring Courage events in Israel, the number of Christian clergy and leaders wishing to bring the Rabbi’s message of a Religion of Peace to their congregants has risen dramatically. “I am honored to serve Rabbi Riskin’s vision and help in a small way to facilitate a new dawn in relations between Christians and Jews,” Cohen said. “At a time when Israel appears to be isolated on the international stage, we have learned that Christians worldwide have come to be our stalwart supporters. It is imperative for both ancient biblical faith communities to join hands and bring a prayer of peace and friendship to the world.”

...CJCUC’s Executive Director David Nekrutman said...“This appointment gives CJCUC a huge opportunity to expand our network into Asia and Europe, while Dr. Cohen continues to advance the relations in North America that I have developed over the last four years.”

Cohen is a graduate of Yeshiva University and the City University of New York and is the editor of Ordinary People Extraordinary Spirit (2004); He is now working on a project that will highlight non-Jewish contributions to the rebirth of the Jewish State. CJCUC is affiliated with Ohr Torah Stone in Efrat, the largest private educational institution in Israel with 3,000 students and 16 campuses in the Gush Etzion, Efrat and Jerusalem areas. The Center is first orthodox Jewish organization to religiously dialogue with the Christian world. To book Dr. Cohen at your place of worship, please contact CJCUC at 516-882-3220.

Success for the People of Israel, the Torah of Israel, the spirit of Israel and the Land of Israel to my good friend and comrade, Mike Cohen.

We need coalition umbrella unity in our actions with the Christian Zionist world and I look forward to much achievement.
