Jews for Judaism Speaker to Discuss Jewish Survival



A free program will be offered to the entire community titled, Meeting Today’s Challenges to Jewish Survival, on Sunday, December 6, 2009 from 10:30 – 12 noon at the Binghamton Jewish Community Center. This program is one of the many topics offered through the Jews for Judaism Speaker’s Bureau with the goal of keeping Jews Jewish. The free program is being funded by The Jewish Federation of Broome County with additional assistance from the Jewish Community Center and Beth David Synagogue,



A recent full-page ad in Jewish publications warned, “If you’re Jewish, chances are your grandchildren won’t be.” Meeting Today’s Challenges to Jewish Survival will examine four serious threats to Jewish continuity: aggressive Christian evangelism, manipulative cults, intermarriage and the lure of Eastern religions, as well as the ways to meet these challenges. Jews for Judaism provides inspirational programs all across the country and Canada. Their work’s mission is to keep Jews Jewish and their programs can provide a powerful way to strengthen communities against the threat of deceptive and aggressive missionaries.



Jews for Judaism was founded by a core group of community activists to counter missionary activity targeting Jewish people, and to win back those Jews who had already converted to Judaism. The organization monitors and provides prevention education to Jews who have been influenced by Christian missionaries. Jews for Judaism has six international offices which have become an essential resource promoting Jewish continuity worldwide.



The Jewish Community Center is located at 500 Clubhouse Road in Vestal. The JCC is a not-for-profit, United Way agency that serves the community at large regardless of age, race, religion, sexual orientation or ability to pay.
