Dozens of mail deliverers who were supposed to deliver copies of the Christian "New Testament" Bible to homes in Ramat Gan refused to do so, arguing that the deliveries constituted "missionary material."
The mail deliverers said that distributing missionary material is forbidden by Jewish law (Halakha) and may also be against state law. They therefore asked that a legal inquiry be held before taking a decision on whether to hand out the Bibles.
The postal workers contacted MK Zevulun Orlev (Jewish Home) and asked him to assist them vis-à-vis the Postal Authority, which they say demands that they "do their job" and distribute the material that was sent.
MK Orlev spoke with Communications Minister Moshe Kahlon (Likud), as well as with the director of the ministry and the Postal Service chairman. He asked that delivery of the books be halted until the legal inquiry into the matter is completed. Orlev reported that both Kahlon and the Postal Service chairman agreed to temporarily halt the distribution.

Busily ‘ape-ing’ the rest of the Semitic tribesmen who drool over ManMo and the Miood God.
Stop drooling, start delivering.
Email is bearing down on you MailPersons, or didn’t you hear?
Don’t hand out/deliver Christian Bibles to Jews.
Why? Don't they have the right to make their own decisions? Sounds like some are awful insecure about their faith.
Some people just don’t get it.
We don’t adhere to the Christian Bible,only the Hebrew Scriptures.
No true Jew wants a Christian Bible.
It has nothing to do with insecurity.
Christian Bibles are for Christians, NOT Jews.
Why would a Jew want a Christian Bible in the first place?
To discover true Israel and salvation.

How about Christian money do they take that?
Christian Bibles are not for Jews.
Christian Bibles are for Christians.
I will repeat it ad nauseum if I have to.
Sorry. We have salvation in G-d. We don’t need your false god for salvation.
“True” Israel? I see. You are one of those christians who think YOU are the true Israel.
You have another thing coming.
What’s the fuss about and the pavlovian reactions? I don’t mind receiving the Jewish Book of Mormon!
My first guess at the title before opening the article was that this was in Dearborn, MI.
And I will ask is Christian money only for Christians?
Jewish money isn't just for Jews,either. Many Jews contribute to Christian causes.
my grandparents are Lutheran and belong to a Lutheran group whose name slips my mind. We go to Rays games in St.Pete and it doesn't bother me that my ticket money is going to a Lutheran charity.
What is the Jewish Book of Mormon?
What people fail to understand is that delivering Christian bibles to Jews is forbidden according to Jewish Law. The most observant Jews will not inquire about another religion and will not read the christian bible,except to refute it.
According to Judaism Jesus is a false god.To worship him is to commit idolatry. It is a grave sin. It is heretical to us to equate a man with G-d.
Nope. It’s in a strictly Jewish neighborhood in Israel.
A STRICTLY Jewish neighborhood with no Christians.
That is why people are upset.
It is.
Good for these mailmen.
Does the Jewish people need Jesus for salvation?
No. Only G-d.
Thank you,ZC. Another voice of reason. I was hoping you’d jump in!
The Torah clearly states that G-d is the ONLY redeemer. We don’t need to believe in a “risen” man-god “savior” to be righteous. In fact,all the righteous of the world have a place in the next life. This is a Jewish teaching,unlike the Christian teaching that one needs to be a Christian in order to get to heaven. Everyone else is doomed to hell.
I have evidence from the Torah that proves my statements.
G-d shares his glory with no one. That is one tenet of Judaism.
I can provide scriptural evidence if you would like.
Here are some verses from the Hebrew Scriptures. They explain that G-d is not a human,that human sacrifice is an abomination and that one does not need blood to cleanse their sins. One goes to G-d for forgiveness. It is that simple.
Isaiah 44:6
Exodus 20:3
Deuteronomy 12:30-31,24:16
Malachi 3:6
Jonah 3:10
ALL of Leviticus 17
Numbers 14:20,16:47,23:19,31:50
Jeremiah 7:22-23
Hosea 11:9
Psalm 106:37-38
G-d accepts other sacrifices. You need to read ALL of Leviticus 17.
Chosen merely to usher in Christ. After that Jesus is the only path to salvation. Looks like someone could really use the message those mailmen refuse to deliver.
