While there is widespread interest in the practice of meditation, there is an equally widespread misconception that we must go outside of Judaism to find any guidance. This program provides an introduction to Jewish wisdom dealing with the nature and importance of meditative practice. We examine the cultivation of Kavanah (mindful awareness) as well as discussing the history of Jewish meditation and its different varieties. Questions should be directed to RabbiSkobac@JewsForJudaism.ca.
JEWS FOR JUDAISM is an international organization dedicated to countering the growing multi-million dollar efforts of Christian missionary groups that target Jews, the impact of cults and eastern religions, assimilation and other challenges to Jewish continuity. JEWS FOR JUDAISM’s goals are to strengthen Jewish pride and identity and to win back Jews who have been influenced by missionaries and cults. We achieve our goals through FREE educational programs, materials and counseling services that connect Jewish people to the spiritual depth, beauty and wisdom of Judaism and keep Jews Jewish.

Today 1,000 Christian missionary groups spend over $300 million annually, targeting Jews for conversion worldwide. In recent years, they’ve converted over 500,000 Jews. In an effort to win Jews, many of these organizations camouflage themselves to appear Jewish in order to lessen resistance by Jews to convert to Christianity. They may call their clergy “rabbis” and refer to their churches as “messianic synagogues.”
Adherents in this movement may refer themselves as Jews for Jesus, Hebrew Christians, Messianic Jews, or Messianic Jewish Christians and present Christianity in the guise of Judaism to attract potential Jewish converts. They often celebrate Jewish holidays with a Christian spin, hold Shabbat services on Friday or Saturday and wear Jewish skullcaps and prayer shawls to create the impression that a Jew can become a Christian and still maintain their Jewish identity. The Shabbat candle lighting, Hamotzei and Kiddush make unaffiliated Jews feel very welcome.
These missionaries operate widely over the Internet, through TV and radio programs, run large public events, send their field workers to distribute missionary literature and visit people at their homes and work places.
