Hagee Ministries Holds 42nd Night to Honor Israel
To date, Hagee Ministries has donated more than $100 million to Israeli and Jewish charities
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sunday, Hagee Ministries held its 42nd annual Night to Honor Israel at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio. Several thousand people were on hand for the event. The two keynote speakers were founder of Hagee Ministries and Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Chairman Pastor John Hagee and Texas Lt.Gov. Dan Patrick.
Pastor Hagee focused a substantial portion of his remarks on the rising tide of antisemitism in the United States, including efforts by some to use anti-Zionism as a fig leaf for Jew-hatred.
"Anti-Zionism is anti-Israel; both are antisemitic... We will continue to confront the enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in any form, wherever it may be found," Pastor Hagee said.
During his remarks, Lt. Gov. Patrick echoed a similar note, stating unequivocally, "We will not stand for antisemitism in this state. We will fight it!"
Towards the conclusion of the event, Hagee Ministries donated $1.7 million dollars to Jewish and Israeli charities. The donations come on the heels of the ministry raising more than $7 million dollars as part of a larger effort to aid the Jewish Agency for Israel in rescuing Ukrainian Jewish war refugees fleeing Russia's invasion of the European nation.
Recipients of Hagee Ministries donations during the Night to Honor Israel included, The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Afikim Family Enrichment Association, Bikur V'Ezas Cholim, Emunah Israel, Just one Life, the Koby Mandell Foundation, Nefesh B'Nefesh, Save a Child's Heart, and the Women's International Zionist Organization.
Since holding its first Night to Honor Israel, Hagee Ministries has donated more than $100 million to Israeli and Jewish charities.
