Shanda fur da goyim.

I'm Jewish too. She's fakakta. Looks like something out of Rosemary's Baby.

Although it is surprising to see Hasidim advocating for peace. I guess that's what they were doing.

8. Doesn't sound like a winning approach.

I'm reminded of the cartoon strip . . .

First panel: Eager man says to Hasidic man: "I'd like to talk to you about Jews for Jesus."

Two panels of them looking at each other.

Last panel: Hasid says, "You're on kamikaze duty, I presume?"

11. Of the very little messianic Judaism I've read, it unfortunately focuses way too much on a justification of its existence rather than presenting any unique theology. Maybe that's the second wave, but the first wave seems never-ending.

I've never had any use for messianic Jews. To me they are Christians, not that there's anything wrong with that. But they aren't Jews any longer, in my opinion. I've been to a few messianic services, and each time it was a born-Jewish rabbi talking to a congregation of Pentecostals who needed another day in church.

One time my wife and I attended a messianic service, and the rabbi began faith healing. My mainline Christian wife just started laughing.
