Renowned Rabbi Uses Internet to Slam Jews for Yoshke

Outreach Judaism, a leading counter- missionary organization based in New York today launched its new website, http://www.outreachjudaism.org, offering a free, exhaustive library of information regarding Jews for Jesus' multimillion dollar worldwide missionary campaigns, including a point-by-point audio response to their plans to convert Jews to Christianity. In the last year alone, Jews for Jesus engaged in a 65-city tour -- any city that has more than 25,000 Jews within it -- targeting the most vulnerable Jews for conversion: Jewish youth and the elderly. In an effort to combat this disturbing and aggressive assault on Jewish communities worldwide, Rabbi Tovia Singer, founder of Outreach Judaism and renowned radio show host on Israel National Radio, is now making available his notorious tape series, "Let's get Biblical(TM)" free to anyone seeking answers to questions posed by Christian missionaries who engage in evangelism targeting Jews. "Jews for Jesus has launched a deceptive campaign to convert the most susceptible segments of our community to their ranks," said Rabbi Singer. "In their unrelenting spiritual assault on Jewish communities in the US, Israel and Europe, Jews for Jesus deliberately blurs the distinctions between Judaism and Christianity in order to lure Jews who would otherwise resist a straightforward Christian message. Now, Jews worldwide finally have the answers to Jews for Jesus' claims at their fingertips." "Jews for Jesus has stated their staggering goals," stated Rabbi Singer. According to their marketing materials, Jews for Jesus exists, "To make the messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people worldwide." Moreover, as part of their recent effort to convert the Jewish elderly in New York, Jews for Jesus distributed more than 80,000 copies of a conversionist film translated into Yiddish to homes in Brooklyn, Queens and Monsey, New York. Furthermore, Jews for Jesus is expanding its efforts to convert survivors of the Holocaust. The testimonials of those who managed to survive the Holocaust, yet became ensnared by the Baptist missionary group are broadcast on the Jews for Jesus website. "This spiritual war against the most vulnerable members of our community is deeply troubling, and cannot go unanswered," says Rabbi Singer. "Outreach Judaism, a leading counter-missionary organization based in New York, is responding to Jews for Jesus' unyielding assault upon the Jewish faith with point-by-point answers to their arguments. This is an all-out, no-holds-barred spiritual war instigated by Jews for Jesus that Outreach Judaism is responding to with an effective response.
