The Pastor Who Helped Israel Become a Nation is Honored"It is very important to Israel and the Jewish people to recognize the incredible efforts and friendships made by our friends and supporters in the Christian world. [We have] very strong links to the Christian community, which we value enormously." (London, England)—The Jerusalem Post has published an intriguing article on the Rev. William Henry Hechler, who—as a close friend of Archduke Frederick I of Baden and a tutor of his children—helped Theodor Herzl in his dream of seeing Zion become a reality.

Said Dr. David Breakstone, vice chairman of the World Zionist Organization, who attended the commemoration. "In honoring [Rev. Hechler] as we did this week, we not only paid him the respect that was long overdue, making good on an historical debt of gratitude, but also publicly recognized the vital role that so many Christians have played—first in the establishment of the Jewish state, and since then, in support of it."
