I'm glad at least some observant Jews know who their friends are.

Then pray tell why do Jews vote for Democrats? Is there a difference between secular Jews who attend religious services but question if there is a God, and Jews who believe in God?

Excellent article. I'm glad someone in the Jewish community is saying it. It's embarrassing that we have all these liberal Jews (in name only) that think they speak for everyone.

I thank G-d every day for Evangelical Christian support.

...Most rabbinic authorities associated with positions of spiritual leadership in the Torah-observant Jewish community have taken one or the other of two positions regarding "interfaith dialogue" and "interfaith cooperation".

One position, advanced by Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik of blessed memory in 1965 in the Torah observant ("Orthodox") quarterly "Tradition", in an article entitled "Confrontation", stated that the Torah observant community should not participate in interfaith dialogue, but it could and should involve itself in interfaith cooperation [on shared social issues].

The other position, advanced by Rabbi Moshe Feinstein of blessed memory in his responsa collection, "Igrot Moshe", was that the Torah observant community should neither participate in interfaith dialogue nor interfaith cooperation...

...There are also Evangelical Christians who covertly use forums for "interfaith dialogue" as a come-on for proselytism. In private discussions among themselves which have come to our attention, Evangelicals openly acknowledge this intentional misuse of "dialogue"...

Rabbi Ekstein is a visionary who takes a lot of flack in the Jewish community. Some in the Jewish community believe Christians' only interest is in converting them, some Jews have residual prejudices and fears born of historical persecutions, and some just dislike all religion. Neither of the first two are relevant today in the Evangelical community, and the third is the bane of both communities.

I've met him and he's a wonderful person who has devoted his life to this organization:

That's him in the prayer shawl on the left side.

Other than evangelical American Christians, I wonder who MK Vilan thinks is a better friend for Israel--in the whole world. Turks? Chinese? Russians? Democrats? Indians? French? Japanese? Who?

[Quix]

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

[HereInTheHeartland]

At least someone sees the truth, Evangelical Christians are Israels best friends and supporters.
They are the tree, we've been grafted on.
