t*A4«ti M - lM.AlXOKAl KM - KHIOAY. JANL'ARY 38. 1981 Church Hosts Speaker JH'AN MOSKOWITZ Jh'an Moskowitz has a way with words: "Being Jewish has always been very important to me and that's why I believe in the Jewish Messiah, Jesus." Mr. Moskowitz will be-speaking at the Alliance church, 3815 W. Bull Valley < road, McHenry, Sunday, Feb. 1, at 11 a.m. Jh'an Moskowitz was raised in a conservative Jewish home in the Bronx, New York. His parents were refugees from Nazi Ger­ many and spent four and one-half years in a con­ centration camp. Says Moskowitz, "I learned at an early age what it means to be a Jew and to be proud of my heritage and my people." Although he became disenchanted with religion in his teens, he was committed to the survival of his people and eventually became a short-term volunteer in Israel. "When I went to Israel," says Jh'an, "I was an atheist, but when it was time for me to leave, I knew that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob existed. I became a seeker. I realized that God purposed the universe and I wanted to know what He purposed for me. I found that answer in 1971 when I came to meet that God and His Messiah, Jesus. Wh*n jjftwwww aria sw ft I've converted, I tell them, "Yes, I've converted - turned away from my sin to God." I haven't turned away from my Jewishness. I'm still part of a" covenant people." Mr. Moskowitz was one of the first Jews for Jesus volunteers even before the organization's incorporation in 1973. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Long Island University in History and Philosophy and has received his theological training from Simpson college in San Francisco. Presently, Mr. Moskowitz is serving as the leader and director of the chicago branch of Jews for Jesus. Jews for Jesus is the largest Jewish missionary agency in the United States. Best known for creative com­ munication techniques, what they communicate is the message that Jew* can believe in Jesus and still remain Jews. Says Moskowitz, "if the Bible is true, and the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ, then withholding the Gospel from the Jew is the greatest form of anti-Semitism. Pastor Robertson extends an invitation to the public to hear Jh'an Moskowitz present Christ in the Passover at the Alliance church Sunday, Feb. 1, at 11. There wiii be no admission fee.
