Israel's anti-Semitic friends

Submitted by: MarilynLeff, November 4th, 2009 Topic: Community Forums

Shalom Rabbi

Submitted by: Tzidkenu, October 4th, 2008 Topic: Messianic Forums

A couple of months ago, I had an email conversation with a Rabbi in the North Eastern U.S. about a sermon he wrote for his synagogue on why Jews should not be evangelized.  I sent him an email rejecting his position and lo and behold, he actually responded.  What ensued was a dialogue over a few days on why I could not be Jew.
