 Hi, I'm Carol, and I'm very proud to be celebrating 21 years of working with Jews for Judaism. It is the only Canadian outreach and counseling organization that combats the efforts of Christian missionary and cult groups that solely target Jews for conversion. For my very first day on the job, Jews for Judaism captivated my heart, mind, and soul. Their dedication, compassion, and love for their fellow Jews captured my heart. Jews for Judaism's programs that demonstrate the wisdom, logic, and truth of Judaism won my mind. Their imparting of the beauty, depth, and spirituality of Judaism seized my soul. Jews for Judaism is successfully combating the following six threats to Jewish survival. Number one, Christian missionaries converted over 350,000 Jews worldwide in recent decades. They spend millions to attract Jews to a new form of Christianity called Messianic Judaism. Number two, destructive cults cause many Jews to abandon family, friends, and careers. Number three, Eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism are the spiritual choice for many Jews. Did you know that 25% of non-Asian American Buddhists are Jews? Number four, apathy and ignorance leave many Jews unaffiliated, assimilated, and unaware of the beauty of Judaism. Number five, intermarriage is exploding with a 75% rate in some American cities. And number six, anti-Israel activists and BDS propaganda are inhibiting young Jews on campus from standing up for Israel and for Judaism. These threats are happening in our very own backyards. We're losing thousands of precious, vulnerable Jews to these challenges. Jews for Judaism must reach them, but we can't do it alone. We need your financial support. I must ask that you please consider contributing a special year-end gift of as much as you can to support the life-saving work of Jews for Judaism. Your donation today, whether it's $36, $360, or even $3,600, will help Jews for Judaism continue to save Jewish lives. Jews for Judaism is a 911 emergency lifeline for Jewish survival. Launch 29 years ago to meet the daunting challenges threatening our people. Jews for Judaism's vital programs and counselors help keep Jews Jewish. Without Jews for Judaism, one of your family or friends could tragically become a Jewish survival statistic. Today with the Internet, Jews don't have to come to our programs in Toronto to be invigorated with Jewish passion. They can access our dynamic lectures and cyberspace at YouTube. Thanks to generous donors like you, every day Jews for Judaism is reaching 3,000 individuals through our global Internet outreach. When you do the math, we're reaching over 1 million people annually. Yes, Jews for Judaism has been very successful, but there is so much more that we have to accomplish. We must always stay one step ahead of these growing dangerous threats.

But what makes me really proud is hearing from Jews that have been helped, like Marlene, just one of thousands of people whose lives are forever changed because of Jews for Judaism. And I quote, I thank you for your vital work and in particular for your counter-missionary seminar on the Internet. Yours is an incredibly important effort to reach Jews who as I was are trapped in Christianity. Jews for Judaism is affecting more people than you will ever know. May God continue to be with you and give you strength. End of quote. Jews for Judaism's success in bringing back countless Jews who have been influenced by missionaries, cults and other religions and in motivating so many others to return to Judaism has profoundly impacted and inspired my own Jewish life. For my desk I've seen so many people come into our office looking dejected and confused. After hours of counseling and advice received at Jews for Judaism, they leave with renewed hope. What it takes is the willingness to listen with an open heart and mind and to be sensitive, kind and caring. What it also takes is concrete support from friends like you. Please donate generously today. Just click on the donate link in the description below this video. Your gift today will help Jews for Judaism create educational programs, distribute thousands of pamphlets, books and CDs, increase its popular presence on the internet and help to bring countless Jews back to their loved ones and their heritage. Even as you are watching this video, Jewish families are being torn apart because their child may now be a Jew for Jesus, might have joined a cult or embraced Islam. Your gift will help Jews for Judaism expand its vital programs, counseling services and internet presence. A few weeks ago we celebrated Chanukah and the miraculous victory of a few Jews against the overwhelming Greek suppression of Judaism. Today our battle for the Jewish soul is with Christianity, cults, other religions and assimilations. While the battle is far from over, the miracle is that you can help save Jewish lives. In celebration of my 21st anniversary working with this vital organization, please join me in supporting Jews for Judaism with a generous donation right now. Together we can keep Jews Jewish and save Jewish lives. Thank you.
