Apology owed to Jews

Sun., Oct. 24, 2010

Saturday’s (Oct. 16) paper had a piece by one David D’Auria, which he presents as an apology to the Jewish community. Indeed, Mr. D’Auria and the rest of the so-called Messianic Jews owe an apology to the Jewish community. They also owe an apology to the Christian community.

As he says, “It is not what it appears to be.” They are Christians and deny it; they claim to be Jews and they are not.
