This section of the website offers an array of articles, critical investigations, biblical texts, and personal stories spanning various topics.  We hope you will use this section as a resource to defend yourself and others against procselytization, as well as an educational tool to further your own intellectual pursuits.

It is absolutely essential to learn and understand the various tactics missionaries use in their attempts to proselytize. Contrary to popular perception, it is not only emotionally unstable Jews who fall prey to the missionaries' efforts; in fact, all Jews are susceptible. Missionaries often target college campuses, hospitals, drug rehabilitation programs, seniors' residences, and shopping malls in Jewish neighborhoods, as well as the Israeli community, Soviet immigrants and intermarried couples. They deliberately misquote, mistranslate and misinterpret Jewish scriptures and rabbinical texts in an attempt to "prove" that Jesus was both the Jewish Messiah and G-d. Their delegitimization of Judaism, in concert with their misleading exploitation of Jewish symbols, religious artifacts and even traditional music, serve to confuse the potential convert, making him or her more vulnerable.
