The founder of Christians For Israel, receives prestigious award from Knesset
The founder of Christians For Israel, Mr. Karel van Oordt (82) received yesterday in Jerusalem the prestigious award of the World Jewish Congress and the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus.
A few hours before, Karel van Oordt was invited by the chairman of the Knesset Mr. Reuven Rivlin, who expressed his appreciation for all the work Christians For Israel has done in the past, is doing in the present, and will do in the future.
Karel van Oordt received the award from former minister Rav. Benny Elon, in presence of members of the Knesset. During the ceremony he was rewarded for his ongoing support, especially in difficult times, when most of the gentiles didn’t support Israel anymore. Mr. van Oordt was accompanied by a delegation of the board and volunteers from Holland and Dutch Chief Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs.
