Orthodox Union warns Passion film could weaken faith

NEW YORK - A major Jewish American Orthodox body Tuesday warned Jews that seeing Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ," which premiers Wednesday, could weaken their faith.




"If Jews see the film and identify with the image of Jesus, they will dis-identify with their own God given Jewish identity. The result might be inner doubts about their Judaism," the executive vice president of the Orthodox Union, Rabbi Dr.Tzvi Weinreb, said in a statement. The leaders of the Orthodox Union appealed to member synagogues to prepare what they called "an antidote to the potential challenge the film will create." They said rabbis should make special efforts "to educate and further motivate our community."

"My concern is for the effect that seeing this movie or even seeing part it, or reading about it, will have on my Jewish brothers and sisters, observant or non observant, old or young."
