Leading Authority on
Countering Hebrew^
Christian Missionaries
Coming to Charlotte
March 13^15.
Temple Israel Men’s Club is bring
ing one of the nation’s leading author
ities on countering Hebrew-
Christianity, Rabbi Tovia Singer, to
Charlotte March 13 -IS.
The theme of the weekend ‘Their
Target: Our Children,” is an effort to
alert parents of Jewish high school and
college students to the threat posed by
“Evangelical Christians dressed up in
traditional Jewish clothing.”
Events scheduled include a Friday
evening dinner with Rabbi Singer, a
presentation during Saturday morning
services and a special workshop co
sponsored by the Consolidated High
School for Grades 9-12 Sunday morn
ing.
Rabbi Singer is Director of OUT
REACH JUDAISM, a full-time
national organization dedicated to
countering the efforts of Christian
groups and cults that target Jews for
conversion.
“Hebrew-Christians,” also known
as “messianic Jews,” are the foot sol
diers in a rapidly growing movement
funded largely by evangelical
Christians. These groups dress
Christian worship in Jewish symbols
and traditions in an effort to win new
converts. Rabbi Singer authored a
guidebook called “Countering
Hebrew-Christianity,” published by
the Federation of Jewish Men’i Clubs,
an arm of the Conservative
Movement. The curriculum outlined
in the book lepresents the first orga
nized response to messianic Judaism.
Jews must be aUe to recognize their
tactics and have enough knowledge to
counter their auertiou. To this end.
Rabbi Singer has been woriung to
ec^p high school and coU^ students
with information and an adM
ciation of theu’ Jewish heriti>se. O
