Chosen People Ministries, an American Christian missionary group, is scheming to arrange for mass baptism of Jews fleeing from Ukraine to Israel, Yad L’Achim has informed Matzav.com.
The group has specifically put out a call for help in accepting the Jewish families fleeing the Ukraine, stating that it plans to orchestrate a large, mass baptism for these beleaguered Jews this coming Pesach, r”l.
Chosen People Ministries describes itself as a messianic “nonprofit organization which engages in Christian evangelism to Jews. It is headquartered in New York City and currently led by Mitch Glaser, who was raised Jewish and converted to Christianity.”
Yad L’Achim is familiar with three churches in Yerushalayim, Ramat Gan and Bat Yam that are operated by Chosen People Ministries and are focused on drawing Jews in Israel away from Judaism and into Christianity.
To accomplish their goal, the missionaries are providing food, sleeping arrangements, and more to the Jews coming from Ukraine.
On their website, this dangerous organization states, “We not only met [the Ukrainian Jews] in the airport, but also found and furnished the apartments for them, thanks to donations from the congregation. These people have attended our congregational meetings and some of them have already received the Lord. Before the Passover, we are planning to baptize 15 people.”

I thought that it’s against Israeli law to proselytize
It’s against proselytizing Judaism. Anything else if fine.
I think it is illegal only if they offer “material benefit” (like money) during the process (it is also illegal without both parents permission if the target is under 18 years of age).
Ignoramus poor peasants will remain that way their entire lives. These Ukrainians, if even halachicly Jewish, are not going to change one way or the other. A total waste of time and energy.
Be on the lookout:
This morning I received a e-mail from France (don’t how they got my address) full of missionary stuff.
