that statement is 110% correct.

But who knows, maybe non-Orthodox Jews will die off, a good thing.

At the last Agudah convention, an annual orthodox convention where Torah leaders and sages get together to dicsudd critical issues concerning Torah Jewry and Jewry in general. An outreach organization spoke for over an hour on the "monumental disaster" that is unfolding in American Jewry due to assimilation, intermarriage etc....
Jews only survive through Torah--these secualr Jews will either A) die-off B) become orthodox (like me)

Well I would disagree that the Christian aspect is only secondary to Lockean (Classical Liberal) foundations of our nation, just look at all the invocations of Christianity that our early fathers cited to claim that we are, but nonetheless both Enlightenment and Christian principles founded America (which is now being torn apart by rampant secualarizaion/progressivism/socialism), after all (you and I both) would pr. agree that 'secular" lockean principles do not altogether contradict Christian theologial principles since they both are incorporated into God's real natural order.

Excellent post (#45). Am in full agreement!

I understand some of the problems Jews face (assimilation). I'm a Christian, and have just taken some pretty tough hermeneutics, theology, and Pentateuch courses, so it's fresh in my mind.

I have a LOT of respect for the moral fibre of *most* Jews. About 2/3, I think. I genuinely like 'em. Most Christians, in fact, do.

Jews have a tremendous, untapped, reservoir of support among American Christians.

Abe Foxman and his ilk, however, so infuriate me that I'm tempted to generalize my anger (that's my heart--quick to wanna fight), but on reflection I realize he's definitely in the minority (that's my brain saying to calm down).

Peace.

"Foxman was even thrown out of his own N.J. synogogue for his anti-Israel views."

Can you send me any links to any stories about this?
I would love to send them to my father who is a hopelessly liberal Jew who thinks the ADL is the best thing to come along since sliced rye bread. He also thinks the State Department is pro-Israel and that left wingers are just "a few kooks" who have no influence within the Democratic party.
