Irony

Just wanted to point out a bit of irony as it applies to Jews for Jesus. According to Jews for Jesus, one of their core values is "Deploying only front-line missionaries who are Jewish or married to Jews." I find this ironic as David Brickner, the leader of Jews for Jesus, does not have a Jewish mother. Therefore, by Jewish law he is not Jewish. Neither is his wife Jewish. However, I am pretty sure that he has quite a lengthy history as a front-line missionary, especially as his father was a missionary to the Jews for many years. Then again, there is nothing Jewish about Jews for Jesus.

It is rather ignorant to claim that there is nothing Jewish about Jews for Jesus.

Jews for Jesus is a Christian evangelical ministry created by an ordained Baptist minister who had left Judaism prior to creating this ministry. The fact is that there is nothing Jewish about Jews for Jesus.
