Targeted for conversion

Two articles I came across about trying to convert Jews. Unfortunately, these people expend great resources in targeting Jews. Hopefully, they won't succeed.

A VIN article reports that "Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) is alerting the community about the dissemination of a missionary paperback book entitled, Ten Amazing Jews: They Thought for Themselves currently being mailed to teenage residents throughout Boro Park. For wider distribution, free copies of the book are also being dropped off at various shuls in Boro Park..."

A second article describes how "The Hope of Israel is a Christian church targeting Jews for conversion to Christianity."
The Hope of Israel Congregation occupies the second floor of a swanky new building in Brighton Beach. Looming above a glitzy Russian produce market the angled façade of the four-story citadel straddles an obtuse corner of the neighborhood’s busiest intersection. A banner hugging its wall reads, “Hope of Israel – Savior and Light of the World.”

Incidentally, I liked the copyright notice at the end of the article, making people aware of what exactly the author would tolerate in terms of having his article copied.

Just a reminder, though -- It’s not considered polite to paste the entire story on your blog. Most blogs post a summary or the first paragraph,( 40 words) then post a link to the rest of the story. That helps increase click-throughs for everyone, and minimizes copyright issues. So please keep posting, but not the entire article. arturc at att.net
