Jesus for Jew

Moishe Rosen, one of the great hedge betters, has died of prostate cancer at the age of 78. Born Jewish, Rosen was ordained as a Baptist minister, then went on to found Jews for Jesus, the world’s largest messianic Jewish organization, boasting no official members, but a “constituency” of 200,000. Born in Haiti, he first came to America seeking freedom of religion to practice voodoo. After being rebuffed by Jobu, he sold copies of the Koran door-to-door while chanting Buddhist incantations. J for J has been roundly criticized as a closet Christian missionary organization, a cult, and for being really annoying on college campuses.
