• “If I had the money, I would pay to send every American child to a Conservative or Reform Sunday school, or an afternoon Hebrew school, because it has proven to be the greatest turnoff of Jewish life.” – Moses Rosenfeld, one of the leaders at the ‘Jews for Jesus’ movement, said this because after their Sunday and Hebrew school experience, these Jews are easy prey for the ‘Jews for Jesus’ missionaries.

Can such a page of history be ingested without lacerating the Jewish self-image? No child willingly accepts membership in a community that has seemingly lost so radically. It is better to be the hero in history.
