Founded in the 1970s, Jews for Jesus practices Judaism but regards Jesus as the Messiah.

Founded in the 1970s, Jews for Jesus is an evangelical Christian group that tries to convert Jews to Christianity. I can see why Jackie's angry.

Jackie Mason is among the wisest of the Hollywood crowd.

Hmmm...so in other words, they are doing exactly what Jesus, John, Mark, Matthew, Peter, Paul, and many other apostles did. Shame on them.

Yes and no. It's run by ethnic Jews, I think.

Some of their efforts have been directed to bridging the gaps between two communities, which is a good thing.

You have this wrong. Organizations such as J fo J do not "convert" Jews. These people are just as Jewish, and even more so, than Jews who don't believe Jesus is the Messiah.

"Convert"s incorrect - "complete" is accurate. Remember, Jesus was a Jew, all the apostles were Jewish, and every book of the Bible was written by a Jew.
