World Jewish Congress, Knesset Christian Allies Caucus to honor Israel-committed Christian leaders

Christian leaders Jay Rawlings and Duke Westover will each receive a special award at the ceremony for their steadfast commitment to the State of Israel Thursday when the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus together with the World Jewish Congress will hold its tenth annual reception honoring Christian leaders.

 

Government leaders and Knesset members from across the political spectrum will join Jewish and Christian leaders at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for the “Night to Honor our Christian Allies.”

 

Rawlings has produced, directed and written more than 130 documentaries about Israel, educating a global audience and winning several awards. He was instrumental in smuggling in and out information on behalf of Refusenik Jews in the former Soviet Union. He and his wife Meridel run Israel Vision TV, which seeks to challenge, inform and inspire a wide audience to stand up against bigotry, racism and ignorance regarding Israel.

 

Additionally, the caucus, together with the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, will present Duke Westover with the ‘Night to Honor our Christian Allies’ Tourism Award. Westover has organized tours to Israel more than 75 times with his wife, Carlene. Thousands of people have participated in the organized tours, including church members, representatives of Christian ministries, political & television personalities, advocacy organizations and students. Westover was at one time the right-hand man of Reverend Jerry Falwell and one of the founders of the Moral Majority.
