Jews for Judaism, established by Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz in 1985, is an
international organization designed to counter Christian missionaries whose
evangelistic efforts are directed toward Jews. They aim to help Jews
strengthen and rediscover their Judaism. It is the largest counter-
missionary organization in existence. It provides counseling services,
education, and outreach programs to all Jewish denominations.
The organization attempts to counter the efforts of "Jews for Jesus" and
other Messianic missionary organizations which believe Jesus to be God and
one part of a Trinity, and attempt to proselytize Jews, claiming to be
legitimate forms of Judaism, but are considered by most Christians and Jews
to be forms of Christianity. "Jews for Judaism" maintains that these
Christian groups that attempt to convert Jews specifically target
unaffiliated, unobservant, old and young Jews, as well as specifically the
Russian Jewish immigrant community.[1][2]
The name Jews for Judaism was developed from Jews for Jesus, one of the
principal missionary organizations it was founded to counteract. One of its
prominent early members, Larry Levey, was a Jewish convert to Christianity
who then converted back to Judaism and led the Baltimore office of Jews for
Judaism for a number of years.[3][4] In addition to its activities in
response to Christian missionaries, Jews for Judaism has also been noted for
its critiques of the Kabbalah Centre.[5][6][7] |
