Government and Religious authorities carry on a constant campaign of
persecution against
parents who send their children to Christian schools. This is an example of
this campaign:
The Grand Rabbinate supported this campaign by an appeal in which it
denounced the
misdeeds of Christian Mission. According to Hatsofe newspaper December 2,
1953 the
Grand rabbinate appeal states: “The Christian Missions open under the feet of
Jewish
children the precipice of assimilation and of change of religion. Those who by
attending
these schools let themselves be drawn change their religion become the enemies
of our
national existence. We want this appeal to reach all in Israel. We proclaim a
special week
for action and for information. We launch an appeal in to collect the
necessary funds for the
realization of this action.”
The newspaper Hatsofe supported the appeal by the Grand Rabbinate with an
inflammatory racist
.
“This action must be carried out with all possible vigor until the impurity is
destroyed by fire
from the face of the earth.”
Large placards were displayed in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities
stating: “Do you
know that 2,000 children receive Christian education in Israel? Do you know
that 400
preachers and Christian sent by 48 Christian missionary institutions were
recruited for the
new immigrants?
Mr. Amos Eylon published an article in Ha’aretz on March 14, 1954 in which
he stated:
“Government employees as well as those working in municipalities who send their
children
to Christian schools were obliged under threat of being fired to transfer
their children to
Jewish schools.”
A section was established in the Ministry of Religious Affairs for the
object of fighting
Christian missions. This section is sending spies into churches, monasteries,
and
Christian schools to detect who visit these Christian establishments and to
take the names
of all those who associate with , or send their children to Christian schools.
