Today over 1,000 Christian missionary groups spend $300 million annually, targeting Jews for conversion worldwide. In recent years, theyve succeeded in converting over 350,000 Jews. In a deceptive effort to win Jews, many of these organizations camouflage themselves to appear Jewish in order to lessen resistance by Jews to conversion. They may call their clergy rabbis and refer to their churches as synagogues. They often celebrate Jewish holidays with a Christian spin, hold Shabbat services and wear Jewish skullcaps and prayer shawls to create the impression that a Jew can become a Christian and still maintain their Jewish identity. These missionaries operate widely over the Internet, through television and radio programs, run large public events, send their field workers to distribute missionary literature and visit people at their homes and work places. But for most Jews, the one asking us to embrace Jesus wont be a missionary, but usually a Christian friend, neighbour, fellow-student or business associate. May you continue to explore and experience the profound wisdom, beauty and joy of Judaism. jewsforjudaism.ca
