The prophetic hopes of Israel's Rabbi Eliezer Melamed and his post, "Christians Fulfilling the Prophecy of Isaiah" met the harsh reality of the streets of Brooklyn in the news feature "New Brooklyn Messianic center set to missionize Orthodox neighbors."

How disturbing that Israeli Jews are so ignorant of who they are and about our history, laws, Torah, that they can be so influenced by these missionaries.
