Each of us needs to make consideration for various Yidden and their diverse, CURRENT observance levels of Yiddishkite. Many will not be just like you, where you are. Further, each of us has individual limits on how to handle ourselves in certain situations, so thank G-d for Jews for Judaism. It sounds like you would have much to contribute to the organization, being that you seem to know much about ways to be successful against missionaries. You could share with the less-informed on a broader scale than via a comment tucked away in COLLive. You know what to do? GREAT,… Read more »

Probably much of the interest in Jes-s as G-d or son of G-d is either misconception, idolatry or some emotional need it fulfills–lack of self-esteem, need to feel superior, etc.

Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz does a wonderful job. I heard that several years ago he approached my niece in the S. Francisco area but was not successful. Interesting, but my sister will not listen to anything I say about Torah. She feels there are many different interpretations and one is ‘as good as the next.’ I went online and zeroed in to this Reform (Lehavdile) ‘interpretation’ where, for instance, it is deemed that the ‘Chumash’ has more than one author.

No reason to become embroiled in a two-hour controversy. Just say “No thank you, I’m not interested” and close the door. I really do not understand why people get so freaked out over missionaries. Are we really that weak in our faith that some silly kids knocking at the door can steal away our neshamos?

Even if a Jew doesn’t have the answer to a missionary, doesn’t mean the missionary is right. Every missionary argument ever presented has been refuted by Judaism and Jews.

I appreciate how you brought them into your home for a 2 hour education and for suggesting prompts and approaches for us to consider if encountered by them.

Additionally, the resources you provide are a great reference to consult for our enrichment. Thanks for helping us prepare by displaying and describing their materials and platform.

To be a strong klal we need to continue to bring up the rear, and may our continued efforts, like yours, be with koach b’emes! …Will post this on Facebook as a resource.
