Jews For Jesus Founder Dies
Moishe Rosen, who was born Jewish, ordained a Baptist minister and went on to found Jews for Jesus, the largest messianic Jewish organization in the world, died Wednesday at his home in San Francisco. He was 78. . . .
Controversial from its inception, Jews for Jesus was officially founded by Mr. Rosen in San Francisco in 1973. In the decades since, its missionaries have been a familiar presence on street corners in cities around the United States and elsewhere. Mr. Rosen was the group's first executive director, a post he held until 1996.
The organization's central tenet is that it is possible simultaneously to be Jewish and to accept Jesus as the Messiah. They simply believe Jesus is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament. See Chick's WHERE'S RABBI WAXMAN?
