The campaign, known as Flags of Fellowship, serves as a visual and vocal demonstration of solidarity amid a rise in international anti-Semitism. Participating churches, synagogues, and universities will display fields of 1,200 mini flags while hosting worship services and community gatherings. The movement’s reach has expanded significantly beyond North America, with 1,775 international organizations joining from nations including Australia, India, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates.
Global 'Flags of Fellowship' Campaign Doubles Participation to 5.2 Million
More than 5.2 million Israeli flags will be planted across 13 countries this October as the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews marks the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks. The initiative has seen participation more than double since last year, now encompassing over 4,375 participating organizations globally.
Growth is largely attributed to a new hub model, where leading churches act as regional distribution centers. In Colombia alone, approximately 1,000 churches are set to display 1.2 million flags. Yael Eckstein, President and Global CEO of The Fellowship, describes the initiative as a spiritual declaration of friendship rather than a political statement. Since 2023, the organization has committed $432 million in aid to Israel, providing emergency food, security equipment, and support for vulnerable populations affected by the ongoing conflict.
