The settlement was reach- ed after two days of testimony in what was ex- pected to have been a three- week trial in federal district court in Manhattan. Judah Gribetz, president of the JCRC, said his group's lawyer, Theodore Van Itallie Jr., "had done (such) signifi- cant damage to their case" that Jews for Jesus at- torneys jumped at a set- tlement offer identical to one presented by the JCRC before the trial began. The case involved Jews for Jesus's claim that the JCRC had violated the missionary group's civil rights in 1987 by blackmailing the owner of a kosher Catskills hotel into canceling Jews for Jesus's convention reserva- tions. It alleged that the JCRC had threatened to wage an economic boycott of the ho- t e 1 , the now-defunct Stevensville Hotel, if the convention were held there. But the former owner of the resort, Kenneth Din- nerstein, said under cross- examination during the se- . cond day of trial that he may have been mistaken in ascribing the threat to the JCRC's executive director, Michael Miller. It may have been made by an unrelated third party, he conceded. Jews for Jesus had initial- ly demanded that the JCRC acknowledge "wrongful interference" with its 1987 convention and admit that Jews for Jesus "does not engage in any fraudulent or deceptive practices." But in the court-approved set- tlement, the JCRC only agreed not to interfere with any Jews for Jesus contracts and acknowledged that it had "no evidence" that Jews for Jesus has "made statements in the course of their missionary activities without believing these statements to be true." "The JCRC refused to make either of those two concessions," Van Itallie ex- plained, "because the JCRC did not wrongfully interfere with Jews for Jesus's con- tractual relations and be- cause it strongly believes that Jews for Jesus pro- -) mulgates a false message and that its false message \ I misleads and deceives those who hear it." As part of the settlement, the JCRC also agreed to pay Jews for Jesus $15,409 as =( compensation for expenses incurred by the group in moving its convention from /1 the Stevensville to a hotel in New Jersey. Officials of the JCRC said the money was less than it ='\ would have cost for expenses associated with the trial. The executive director and founder of Jews for Jesus, Moishe 'Rosen, said in a statement that the financial settlement "was the least of our concerns." He said the suit was brought "not only because our civil rights and religious c \ / liberties were violated, but we could not allow the JCRC to continue telling people with whom Messianic Jews do business that we use fraudulent and deceptive I methods of evangelism." The "public ought to know ; about how several Jewish agencies have tried to pre- \I vent us from renting facilities, holding public meetings and practicing the -1-` free exercise of religion as Jews," Mr. Rosen said. "Having won this case," ) he added, "we think that our detractors will have second thoughts." But Mr. van Itallie said the JCRC has in no way backed away from its view that Jews for Jesus uses ,) deceptive practices in its work. In a statement announcing the settlement, the JCRC cj\ pointed to Mr. van Itallie's opening statement to the jury in which he said the JCRC does not challenge I\ Jews for Jesus's faith but rather its use of Jewish symbols. Mr. van Itallie had told the jury that the use of such symbols was nothing more than "sales tactics" because ( they are "not decreed by Christianity. They have been selected by plaintiffs for conversion of the Jewish people to Christianity." Mr. Rosen, who was raised in a secular Jewish home, converted to Christianity in I the early 1950s and formed Jews for Jesus in 1970.
