Form US Rabbinic Group To Aid
Israeli Fight Against Missionaries
NEW YORK, (WUP)—Leading
American Orthodox rabbis,
representing the Union of Ortho
dox Rabbis, the Rabbinical Coun
cil of America the Rabbinical
Alliance, the Metropolitan Board
of Orthodox Rabbis, Young
Israel and the Union of Orthodox
Jewish Congregations, met here
last week and decided to estab
lish a unified American organi
zation whose task it would be to
support, financially and other
wise, an Israeli movement which
has been actively engaged in
fighting the Christian missionary
activities in the Jewish State.
The decision to create the
U.S. group followed a conference
the rabbis had with Rabbi Zvi
Weinman, who arrived in this
country recently as the official
representative of “Peylei Hama-
chane Hatorati,” the Israeli
organization of activist religious
students who have embarked
upon a dynamic campaign to
rescue Jews, especially children
reared into the insidious mission
ary nets.
Among the supporters of the
new U.S. group is the renowned
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik.
During his conference with the
American rabbis, Zvi Weinman
produced vital documentary evi
dence showing to what great
lengths the missionaries In Israel
have gone to entice hundreds of
Jewish children into the accept
ance of Jesus and the Gospels.
In an exclusive interview with
the World-Union Press. Rabbi
Weinman revealed that the soul-
snatchers in the Jewish State—
representing rich and powerful
outside institutions—have estab
lished missionary villages and
monasteries that use Hebrew as
the language of prayer and in
struction. “The greatest danger,’’
Rabbi Weinman said, “emanates
from a group which calls itself
‘Hebrew Christians,’ consisting
largely of apostate Jews who
claim that they are the authentic
Jews.

Israel Taxes
Will Go Up
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Israel’s
Cabinet approved the levy
of higher tax and the further im
position of compulsory loans to
raise the funds needed for the
next budget. The budget for the
next fiscal year, expected to total
4,600,000.000 Israeli pounds ($1,-
533,333,000), was to be presented
to the Knesset (Israel’s Parlia
ment).
Income taxes are to be raised
from 1 percent to 2 and a half
percent, beginning with incomes
of $200 monthly. The compulsory
loans will be extended for two
years. Loans for immigrant ab
sorption will be calculated in ac
cordance with the income tax,
amounting to 18 percent of the
tax. Each year’s loan is to be re
payable in 12 yearly payments.
In another action, the Cabinet
also raised building restrictions
imposed last year, except on pub
lic construction. The Cabinet al
so voted to hold the next Inde
pendence Day parade in Haifa,
where Israel’s sea and air power
will be displayed. Independence
Day is expected to be observed
this year on April 25.
man continued, “they publish and
disseminate literature so dis
guised that the uninformed
draw the conclusion that these
tracts are Jewish holy works.
They also celebrate the Jewish
holidays,” he added, “but inject
Christological concepts into
them.”
Rabbi Weinman was critical of
the role played by the Israel
Government on the whole ques
tion of conversion. “There are
various instances indicating both
direct and indirect Government
assistance to missionary institu
tions,” he stated. “Public pres
sure has not been brought to
bear because the Yishuv was not
aware of the seriousness of the
problem. . . There are mission
schools with Jewish children in
attendance which receive finan
cial support from the Govern
ment, although they are not
legally recognized institutions,”
he stressed. “Also, there are in
stances where the Government
has given land gratis to the mis
sionaries, i.e. Nes Amim, the
Germans in Zichron Yaakov, the
Catholics in Beersheba and
others.”
Rabbi Weinman’s movement,
which has branches all through
Israel, has already rescued about
100 youngsters from the mission
aries’ grasp. The “Peylei Hama-
chane Hatorati” has created its
own Intelligence Department,
of which Rabbi Weinman
is one of the leaders. The group
also employs several Moslems as
intelligence officers who infil
trate into the Christian mission
ary ranks and report on the
number of Jewish children at
tending their schools.
In his report to the American
rabbis, Zvi Weinman warned
that “a new Jew is being created
in Israel; a ‘Christian Jew’ who
denies that he is no longer a Jew
and who claims bo be a loyal
Israeli, but who threatens to
emerge as a new and dangerous
force in the Yishu compromis
ing the spiritual and physical
existence of our people.”
Deeply concerned over the peril
facing so many Jews in Israel,
the rabbis comprising the newly-
established American organiza
tion have set up a standing com
mittee which is currently ex
amining a dynamic program of
action with the view of finding
practical means to combat the
insidious activities of the Chris
tian missionaries in Israel.
