From: Paula Yulish <PDY@a1.ucc.nau.edu> Subject: jewishness To: heb_roots_chr@geocities.com Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu, I was pleased to read of your speech to the CJF in November of 1997 where you stated that "no one, nobody, can deprive a Jew of his Jewishness. There can be no such thing as a second class Jew. Every Jew is a legitimate Jew. Period!" You were of course speaking of the conversion bill and your reference was to Reform and Conservative Jews. I would hope and pray that you would also consider the plight of Messianic jews-jews who believe in yeshua hamashiach. They also are still Jews and should not be considered second class citizens or be denied the right of return. Remember what you so eloquently said. "Every jew is a legitimate jew-period!"
