I recently went thru a training course with 3 jewish counterparts. they had come to our training facility in Vancouver. I had gotten into a conversation with Shimon about what I was reading which happened to be fulfilledprophecy. We had an earlier conversation centered on Creation Science, so he already knew I was a christian. I showed him the prophecies in Isaiah 53 and asked him if he thought this may have been fulfilled in Jesus. He actually had attended a yeshiva (religious school) for some time when he was younger. He took his time in answering, when he did he said that he could see how I would think so. I now have an ongoing relationship with all 3 by email. Please pray for Tamir Harary, Shimon David, and David Dekel for their salvation and safety and that of their families.
hope this helps,
Patrick
