The rabbi is an orthodox rabbi, but, naturally, the messianic Jews are publicising it It has to do with a general response to the long rambling OP, which has been posted before. |

Israel needs the money of desperate white people. Its a growth industry. The state of Israel could not exist without evangelicals. Period. It is the greatest of historical ironies that Jesus is now quite literally the savior of the Jewish nation.

Though I will concede that Israel can use the money -- and the political support. It seems to me more like a sort of ecumenism that some Jews indulge in -- saying how great Jesus Christ had been. |
