Okay, now I *do* have a Jewish-related question.

I vaguely know who the Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews are. I'm curious, though - the few times I've heard them mentioned, it's been with some hostility. Why?

This is complicated, I think, by the fact that there's Judaism and then there's Jewish culture, which are not *quite* identical.

The problem with the JFJ, as I understand it, is that they're pushy evangelists, who deny their pushy evangelism by claiming that their beliefs are the same as the people's they're trying to convert.

Not that I am Jewish or have met these people to speak to. But that's my understanding from those who know better than I.
