Jews for Judaism
From Free net encyclopedia
Jews for Judaism, established by Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz in 1985, is an international organization with the aim of helping Jews of all ages rediscover and strengthen their Jewish heritage. It is the largest Counter-Missionary organization in existence. It provides counseling services, education, and outreach programs to all Jewish denominations. The organization focuses on those who are according to Jewish law a Jew.
The organization is a primary response to the challenge presented by the deliberate evangelization of Jews by Christianity. Of particular concern to them is the Messianic Judaism movement, which considers itself as a legitimate branch of Judaism, but maintains a belief in Jesus as God, which Orthodox Judaism believes makes them illegitimate according to traditional Judaism, Jewish law and the Torah.
The name Jews for Judaism is a parody of Jews for Jesus, one of the missionary organizations it was founded to counteract.
