Messianic Believers in Israel
Messianic Believers are seriously persecuted in Israel, by the Haradim Jews.
David was nearly killed by a bomb one of the Haradim put in a gift wrapped package outside his door during Purim.
A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:34-35
Dear Friends and Family,
Below is some important information about the organization behind the bombing of the Ortiz family
and the persecution of many believers in Israel. This was compiled by Maoz Ministries, Leah Ortiz and Calev Myers.
Please pay particular attention to the last paragraph.
Pray as you read! May the Lord bless you mightily!

YAKOV TEITEL - YAD L'ACHIM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recently it has been revealed that in one of his interrogations, Yakov "Jack" Teitel, the perpetrator of the crime carried out in our home on March 20, 2008, worked for the anti freedom of religion organization called Yad L'Achim. This organization has a department which it calls itself the "counter-missionary" or "anti-missionary" department. They refer to Gentile Christians and Jews who believe that Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah, as "missionary cults", and admit on their website that they are committed to rescuing Jews who fall into our "net". Here are some quotes from their website -

COUNTER MISSIONARY DEPARTMENT
Ironically, Jews who live in Israel are the most vulnerable to missionaries. That's because missionary groups see making inroads in the Jewish homeland as a special achievement and therefore invest tremendous energy and resources there. The missionary infrastructure in Israel is based mainly on a few large Christian cults and dozens of smaller ones.
In our battle against the missionaries we are even more motivated. We see the saving of each and every Jewish soul from Christian cults as a sacred mission. This is what drives Yad L'Achim's relentless efforts against the mission and its members.
HOW DOES THE DEPARTMENT WORK?
We fight the missionaries in a variety of ways, some of which, due to their sensitive nature, can't be described in detail.
One of our most important functions is to track the activities of missionaries and respond to them in appropriate ways. We are updated every time the missionaries schedule a conference, open a new center or schedule a baptism for Jews in the Kinneret and have a variety of means - all of them legal - to foil them. When we receive a report of a family that has gotten caught up in a cult we intervene with tried and tested methods.
SCOPE OF MISSIONARY ACTIVITY IN ISRAEL
There are more than 100 missionary congregations operating in Israel. Indeed, every city has a missionary congregation that runs programs and activities aimed at luring Jews.
The annual budget of the missionaries in Israel is in the millions of dollars, often funded from foreign sources.
Under the guise of assisting the public, they open community centers, as well as drug-treatment facilities, that serve to advance their cause.
The missionaries have at their disposal kibbutzim, convention centers, youth hostels, coffee houses, publishing houses and much more to spread their poisonous message."
The head of the anti-missionary department of Yad L'Achim is a Chabad Rabbi, Alex Artovsky, Soviet Union born, who has been questioned by the police many times on charges of harassing and intimidating Messianic Jews. You can read about him on the Roshpina website -he is an example of the type of people who work for the organization. http://roshpinaproject.wordpress....alex-artovski-old-habits-die-hard
RESPONSE AND MORE FACTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the revelation of the admission of Jack Teitel that he was active in Yad L'achim for five years, carrying out various missions for them, it became incumbent on us as a community to respond as there had been no mention of this in the newspapers or publicly by the police. The information was given to a reporter from the Ha'aretz Newspaper, and an article was written that was scheduled to appear in Hebrew on the front page of the paper. The article appeared in English in the English edition of Haaretz, but the editors of the Hebrew edition kept on postponing the Hebrew article for a week, every day with a different reasonable sounding excuse, until they declared that the article was old news and had already been published in English anyway It was very suspicious - perhaps they received threats from Yad L'achim that they would sue if the article appeared in Hebrew? Could someone have been paid off, or was someone pulling strings? Was the paper afraid of being blacklisted or of backlash? For sure, it was not business as usual when it came to this news item.
When Teitel confessed to working for Yad L'achim, there were no further attempts to gain more detailed information by the police, and according to Yad L'achim's own statement, they weren't questioned by the police in connection with Teitel either.
At the same time, Caleb Myers of the Jerusalem Institute for Justice has drafted a petition to the Israeli Attorney General, requesting that Y'ad L'achim be dismantled, based on concrete proof of their illegal activities in connection with the harassment and persecution of Messianic Jews, and their connection with Jack Teitel.. The petition can be viewed on his website:

We advise strongly that you read Caleb Myer's document. The research is extensive and he's been able to detail the organization's activities in a very detailed way.
Note: The incidents cited in this report are just a partial report of the activities of Yad L'achim against believers, because many of their attacks on the Messianic community go unreported as the believers are often afraid, or don't take the time and effort to notify the authorities. Unfortunately, they know that nothing will be done as a result which has been the case time and again.
Yad L'achim was founded in 1950 and at first it's purpose was to help Jews who were streaming into the re-established State to "find a suitable religious framework", according to their website. However, very quickly it turned into an organization that focuses on destroying Jews who believe in Yeshua, and to dismantle mixed marriages of Arabs and Jews.
Caleb Myers states in his petition to the Attorney General,
According to the Organization's own publications, both on its website
http://yadleachim.co.il
it is involved, among other things, openly and directly, in tracking, supervising and collecting information about members of various religions and faiths, including Messianic Jews, tourists, residents and citizens alike, who are perceived by its activists as "dangerous missionaries".
Yad L'achim are active world-wide to the point that they were invited by the Chinese government to participate in a conference on "how to help fight cults" - read the head and founder of Yad L'achim, Rabbi Dov Lipschitz shocking comments on
http://roshpinaproject.wordpress..../29/anti-missionary-goes-to-china
Another shocking thing about Yad L'achim and it's associates, is that it receives tax-deductable status from democratic countries like the United States, that stand on the pillars of personal freedoms, one of which is the freedom of religion.
There are about 15,000 Messianic Jews in Israel, who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah.
Israeli pastor Asher Intrater heads Congregation Ahavat Yeshua in Jerusalem.
Asher spoke with Israel Today magazine about the challenges facing Messianic Jews in Israel.
Messianic Jews are Jewish and Israeli citizens. There are also many Arabs who believe in Yeshua.
Jews knew her Messiah, as shown in bethlehemstar.net videos - but she rejected Him then, and as a nation, still rejects Him.
Muslims Love Jesus more than His own people!
The days of Zechariah's prophecies are here. God is about to tear Israel, watch Jerusalem divided, a terrible war - but thru it all His own will see Him. The Hope awaits.
