health care facility. The
If a Jewish couple in Eastchester,
N.Y., had known what they
would find in a box of Shabbat
candles a few weeks ago, they
might have taken a match to
that object as well as the can-
dlewicks.
They found a Christian mis-
sionary pamphlet.
Joan Freedman, of Eastch-
ester, says she noticed the pam-
phlet, marked "Eretz Yisrael"
with a Magen David underneath,
at the bottom of the box whose
contents she had kindled each
Friday night for the last several
months.
"I thought some Orthodox or-
ganization had put something in
there," she says. She bought the
box at a local "major supermar-
ket" earlier this year, but does not
remember when or where.
Then she read the typed pas-
sages, with the Creator's name
spelled G-D, from the Torah and
the prophets — and the state-
ment that "G-D wants you to ac-
cept Yeshua as your Messiah and
believe in Him.
"Yeshua, whose name ap-
peared several times in the pam-
phlet, is the Hebrew name of
Jesus and is often used, instead
of the English version, in prose-
lytizing literature.
"Once I started to read, I
knew" the pamphlet's origin,
Freedman says. "I was very an-
noyed. I was very upset."
The pamphlet is anonymous,
bearing no sponsoring organiza-
tion's name or address. The box
is marked "Holyland Candles: Is-
raeli Candles ... Distributed by
HKS Marketing Limited ...
Brooklyn 11211."
No such firm is listed in the
phone book or is available from
the NYNEX information opera-
tor.
The pamphlet was likely
placed in the box at the super-
market or at the manufacturing
plant by an evangelistic-minded
shopper or employee, says Philip
Abramowitz, director of the New
York Jewish Community Rela-
tions Council's Task Force on
Missionaries and Cults.
He says he receives occasion-
al complaints from people who
find such tracts in Judaica items.
"It happens every once in a
while here," says David Kerner,
manager of J. Levine Books and
Judaica, in Manhattan. "They
come and stick things in books
promoting their agenda."
