Jewish groups to counter Jews for Jesus evangelism campaign

FAIRFAX, Va. The Jewish Community Council of Greater Washington is holding meetings to counter an evangelistic effort by Jews for Jesus that starts this week. The council’s executive director, Ron Halber, says Judaism and Jesus are incompatible.

Scott Hillman, who heads a group called Jews for Judaism, says it’s deceptive for people who are really Christians to even call themselves Jews for Jesus.

But Jews for Jesus Washington director Stephen Katz says Jesus was a Jew who claimed to be the Messiah that was prophesied in Jewish Scripture.

The Jews for Jesus plan a full month of evangelism in and around Washington D-C.
