I am a good friend to Jews. Jesus was a Jew and because of my faith, I love Jews and will defend them to the death.
But they are all wet WRT "The Passion." All wet!

Although I haven't seen this film yet, I can guarantee that it will never ever make me hate or blame the Jews. How sad that those who are against this film think otherwise.

Thanks for posting this article. What a pleasant surprise I received as I started reading it further and further...I had intended to grin and bear it while I read it. I figured the piece would attempt to trash Mel and Passion.
To: Mr. Mulliner
They failed at everything they attempted. They were hoping to ruin Gibson rather than enrich him. That often happens when you try to dis The Man. (Jesus, not Mel.)

All right! Rabbi Lapin is a bridge builder between Jews and evangelical Christians and he understands the situation. Lapin is a blessing to us all.

Strangely, I have a little problem with this movie, and I'm a Christian. This movie is absolutely historically inaccurate as it is in Latin, when only the Romans spoke the true "Latin". The original text of the gospels is in Greek, with many people of that day speaking Aramaic and other 'dead' languages.
Just a note.

Most American Jews, experiencing warm and gracious interactions each day with their Christian fellow-citizens, would feel awkward trying to explain why so many Jewish organizations seem focused on an agenda hostile to Judeo-Christian values. Many individual Jews have shared with me their embarrassment that groups, ostensibly representing them, attack Passion but are silent about depraved entertainment that encourages killing cops and brutalizing women. Citing artistic freedom, Jewish groups helped protect sacrilegious exhibits such as the anti-Christian feces extravaganza presented by the Brooklyn Museum four years ago.
One can hardly blame Christians for assuming that Jews feel artistic freedom is important only when exercised by those hostile toward Christianity. However, this is not how all Jews feel.
Hear hear.
Outstanding post.

"I am merely an Orthodox rabbi using ancient Jewish wisdom..."
Just a quick reference for lurkers/posters...to show Rabbi Lapin is exercising discretion
like a great historical teacher of Jewish law:
ACTS 5
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of
the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles
forth a little space;
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend
to do as touching these men.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody;
to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain;
and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much
people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this
counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even
to fight against God.

I read this earlier in my e-mail and thought it was a great essay, but that the title was not quite appropriate. It doesn't really convey Rabbi Lapin's point.

As it was two thousand years ago, so it is today. Try as they might to quench the fire, it only spreads, because it is impossible to fight against God. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. It is the story that God wants told to every generation.

Beautiful, brilliant article. I often wondered how Jews could think most Christians would go rioting in the streets after seeing this movie. A bunch ado about nothing. But the hoopla will be good for those who might have been exposed themselves to this experience. I am taking the day off when this movie comes out and can't wait to see it.

Rabbi Lapin is and always has been a man with wisdom, grace, and discernment. I have read his books and must say that he is a blessing to the Jewish and Christian communities.
