Proselytizing minors is a crime.
The missionaries have been targeting the poorer section of Beit Shemesh, said Klein, rather than the wealthier, newer sections.
That pattern is typical all over the country, said Powers. "If you're going to look for someone to go after, you're going to go after someone who's more vulnerable," he said. Some Christian aid organizations add a dose of their religion to the material support they provide to Jews in need, he said.
Telling others about Jesus is one of the goals of some Christian organizations, said the Rev. Ray Lockhart, director of the Jerusalem-based Israel Trust of the Anglican Church, which ministers to the Jews. "The church is by definition a missionary organization," he said. "We want to share with other people something of the reality of what we have discovered for ourselves."
But burning Christian scriptures is not the way to combat missionary activities, said Powers. "Letting the Jewish community know who these people are, what they're saying, and what's wrong with what they're saying, that's the way to deal with it."
