Dozens of mail deliverers who were supposed to deliver copies of the Christian "New Testament" Bible to homes in Ramat Gan refused to do so, arguing that the deliveries constituted "missionary material."
The mail deliverers said that distributing missionary material is forbidden by Jewish law (Halakha) and may also be against state law. They therefore asked that a legal inquiry be held before taking a decision on whether to hand out the Bibles.
The postal workers contacted MK Zevulun Orlev (Jewish Home) and asked him to assist them vis-à-vis the Postal Authority, which they say demands that they "do their job" and distribute the material that was sent.
MK Orlev spoke with Communications Minister Moshe Kahlon (Likud), as well as with the director of the ministry and the Postal Service chairman. He asked that delivery of the books be halted until the legal inquiry into the matter is completed. Orlev reported that both Kahlon and the Postal Service chairman agreed to temporarily halt the distribution.

No. Only G-d.
Thank you,ZC. Another voice of reason. I was hoping you’d jump in!
The Torah clearly states that G-d is the ONLY redeemer. We don’t need to believe in a “risen” man-god “savior” to be righteous. In fact,all the righteous of the world have a place in the next life. This is a Jewish teaching,unlike the Christian teaching that one needs to be a Christian in order to get to heaven. Everyone else is doomed to hell.
I have evidence from the Torah that proves my statements.
G-d shares his glory with no one. That is one tenet of Judaism.
I can provide scriptural evidence if you would like.
Here are some verses from the Hebrew Scriptures. They explain that G-d is not a human,that human sacrifice is an abomination and that one does not need blood to cleanse their sins. One goes to G-d for forgiveness. It is that simple.
Isaiah 44:6
Exodus 20:3
Deuteronomy 12:30-31,24:16
Malachi 3:6
Jonah 3:10
ALL of Leviticus 17
Numbers 14:20,16:47,23:19,31:50
Jeremiah 7:22-23
Hosea 11:9
Psalm 106:37-38
G-d accepts other sacrifices. You need to read ALL of Leviticus 17.
Chosen merely to usher in Christ. After that Jesus is the only path to salvation. Looks like someone could really use the message those mailmen refuse to deliver.
