I did some work with that group in the late 70s. They were a fine bunch who reflected well on their founder and his Boss.

When my son was in high school I made him a T-shirt with my favorite Moishe Rosen quote.

On the front: “Experience is the best teacher...

On the back: “...but if you can accept it second-hand, the tuition is less!” Moishe Rosen

Yeshua bless him. I still remember the presentation he made at my church about Passover. G-d bless the Jewish Christians; I’m a Gentile, but am glad to worship our LORD with my Israelite brethren.

Yes, God rest his soul, but I’d like to think I would have turned Christian rather than try to subvert Judaism.

Good riddance.

My path went in the opposite direction of Moishe Rosen. I was born and raised Episcopalian, but ended up sympathizing with Judaism. Although I never completed my conversion - addiction to the Internet interfered with that - my belief still resides in Judaism. My wife was born a Jew.

Now, I hope you didn't mean that "Good riddance" comment. :)

22 years ago I was doing some volunteer work with some of these guys and was sitting across from a little old bald guy who told me an amazing tale.

He said that they had a bunch of them going to Israel and he really wanted to go but he was short on funds but he knew God would provide.

The day they were leaving he got a sale that would pay his way but it involved 8 hours of driving and they were flying out in 5 hours.

He believed he was going on that flight anyways and started off on his drive praising God all the way.

He had just barely started but suddenly found himself at his destination over 3 hours sooner than the drive was supposed to take.

He made his sale and made his flight.

Prayers go out to his family and friends. God bless this man and his ministry that has reached so many for God and helped bridge the gap between Christians and Jews. Rest in peace my brother. Job well done.
