DVD promoted Christ to Jews as the Messiah

Kiryas Joel - The DVD that came in the mail Saturday certainly looked enticing for Orthodox Jewish families.

The package was written in Hebrew; it had a disc tucked inside with a drawing of a robed, Old Testament figure blowing a ram's horn. Anyone who played the DVD found a smoothly produced recreation of biblical stories with a voice-over in the familiar cadences of Yiddish.

But the DVD, which was recently sent to about 80,0000 households throughout Kiryas Joel and other Orthodox communities in New York and New Jersey, carried an unexpected message for intensely religious Jews awaiting the arrival of the Messiah:

He already came.

It turns out the video was not a Shabbos greeting, but the sophisticated product of the Jews for Jesus organization and other evangelical Christians, hoping to convince viewers that Jesus was the Jewish savior prophesied in the Old Testament.

As a jew, I feel the need to speak up, especially since I got that DVD. It was far more erotic than I expected and I actually came.

Seriously tho, I personally don't care. Sure, xtianity has become the dominant religion via marketing... just like VHS beat out Beta-max.

Doesn't matter. Both tape formats are dead in favor of DVDs

Good thing the money was spent on producing and mailing said DVD, and not on something as worthless as food, shelter, after-school programs, etc.

There is no return on the initial investment with needy people.
