Julia Fisher talks to Israel Pochtar – Whilst in the ancient Biblical city of Ashdod recently, I met Israel Pochtar. Born into a Jewish family in the Crimea, he came to Israel with his wife soon after they were married. At first he worked in construction by day and in his spare time, as a street evangelist based in Tel Aviv. So, I asked him, why did he move to Ashdod?
Our aim is to build bridges… To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide.
