Property Owner Endures Financial Loss to Stop Missionaries
After nearly 2 years of unrelenting battle against a Christian missionary center targeting youths in Jerusalem – the largest such center in Israel – the Yad L’Achim organization has succeeded in getting the facility closed down.
The story began when information reached Yad L’Achim that Yariv Goldman, a known missionary, had set up a youth center that went under the innocent-sounding name Adullam.
Goldman and his team tried to hide their true identities and intentions, claiming to be an “attentive ear” to religious and chareidi youths.
Yad L’Achim carefully monitored the center’s activities, at first surreptitiously, but the missionaries were cautious, making it difficult to gather incriminating evidence. After a few weeks, though, they let down their guard and were caught preaching Christianity to young people who arrived at the center.
At this point, Yad L’Achim began operating openly against the center. First, it publicized quotes from Christian preachers in the United States singing Goldman’s praises, specifically his ability to reach out to people. “Yariv has a special gift, an ability to connect to people,” said one preacher. “He has a unique ability to deliver sermons about Yeshu.”
Some of these quotes appeared on the missionary group’s English-language website to help Goldman raise funds from churches and Christian donors abroad for his activities among Jewish youths. They were erased from the site as soon as Yad L’Achim publicized them.
