Thank you, Uncle Miltie.
I found that disturbing, just like I found the "Catholics pray for 'Jews' conversion," distrubing, because as I life-long Catholic, this article is the first I have heard of such a thing!
I think next year, we will be having a prayer as follows:
“Let us Pray for the Conversion of all those who are offended that we pray for their conversion
followed by:
Let us Pray for the Conversion of all those who are offended that we pray for those who are offended
According to Menachem Wecker here: here:
"Orthodox Jews, both in Israel and throughout the world, recite the prayer Aleynu (Upon Us) three times a day thanking God for distinguishing them from non-Jews, including Christians, who pray to a God who doesnt help. The Orthodox version of the Passover Hagaddah, which has been variously edited by Conservative and Reform Jews, petitions God to Pour out your anger toward the gentiles who do not know you and chase them with rage and destroy them.
