All HATE II (AV IllEASP116 COVIPOIDATION 24600 Gratiot Ave., East Detroit, MI. 48021 28 FRIDAY, OCT 9, 1987 CLOSE-UP RONALD'S CEM I HOME 1 RI PHONE (313) 778-2800 Confronting Continued from preceding page sionaires say, increasingly vulnerable. Rabbi Bergstein agrees. Where it exists at all it is often "only a third level involvement," he asserts, superseded not only by secular education but by "ex- tracurricular activities as im- portant as skiing, karate and dance." Without a firmer grounding in at least the basics of Judaism, he main- tains, a growing number of young people will succumb to the "ignorant but emotional- ly powerful" missionary appeals. The missionaries themselves believe that the rightness of their cause and their own tenacity will bring more Jews to their fold. Both Lew and Jacobs are aware of the community's hostility. "I live for the Lord. I shall never give up," says 64-year-old Lew, who has been running the Hope of Israel missions for 25 years. He himself became a Chris- tian while searching for a way to come to terms with his terrible experiences in the Holocaust, particularly in Buchenwald. Living as an Or- thodox Jew in New York, he sought help, he says, from several rabbis before he entered a Hebrew mission and "found the Messiah." He aims to help other Jews to do the same, through the Friday meetings and other events at the mission and through his weekly television program on Channel 62, on which he also advertises sales of leather bound study Bibles ($50) and of his autobiography, From Hitler's Hell to God's Peace ($6). (Lew has received a signed letter from Nancy and Ronald Reagan, thanking him for a donated copy of the book and indicating their intention of including it in their presiden- tial collection.) The mission, Lew says, does not ask for individual dona- tions, charge a membership fee or take a collection at its meetings. The church support it receives is mostly from in- dependent Baptists. Accor- ding to a report in the Detroit News, the mission's 1986 financial statement showed $125,495 in total revenues from donations and interest on savings, representing an excess of $4,910 over ex- penses. Lew and his son, Leslie, director of outreach and publications for the mis- sion, drew a combined salary of $39,000 for the year. Lew has lectured and par- ticipated in Holocaust seminars in various churches, temples and schools, in- cluding Wayne State and Temple Beth El, but he denies seeking out any individuals in missionary attempts. "They approach me. They come to me in trouble. Am I supposed to send them away?" Among those who have ap- proached him recently, he reports, is a teenager from West Bloomfield who will ap- pear on his program in Oc- tober. "She had everything money could buy, but not hap- piness." Another troubled per- son who has turned to him, he says, is David Berkowitz, the New York "Son of Sam" murderer. None of the harassment he has received, which has rang- ed from nuisance calls to broken windows and death threats, will persuade him to give up. Community hostility "For such people to present themselves as scholars is fraud. For them to do so in an attempt to tear a child away from its roots is vicious." saddens him, as_, does the alienation of his brother, the only other member of his family to survive the camps. "But," he says, "nothing is go- ing to stop me." Loren Jacobs realizes that antipathy to Messianic Judaism unites all parts of the community and is a ma- jor hurdle in the path of his plans for Shema Yisrael. "They will have to find another rallying point," he says. "This is to important. I don't expect the approval of the Jewish community. I am more concerned with the God of Israel's approval." The small number of Hebrew Christians in the area was Jacobs' reason for his coming to Detroit to build a congregation. "It is clear to me," he says, "that Jesus is the Messiah of Israel. We need to accept Him as Jews and to maintain our culture and identity!" His group sent a letter to many Jewish Detroiters in advance of the High Holidays, reiterating this point. The let- ter ended with an invitation to attend "Messianic High Holiday services!' Shema Yisrael was incor- porated in 1986 as "an evangelistic ministry to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ with an emphasis towards the Jewish people!' At the moment, the group's 30 or so members meet on Friday evenings at the Oak
