Kibbutz Ramat Rachel wants to avoid further Damage

B"H

Since Sukkot, Yad Le'Achim has been accusing the Jerusalem Kibbutz Ramat Rachel of too much hospitality for Christian missionaries let alone messianic Jews. During Sukkot, the Christians stayed at the Ramat Rachel Hotel, and Yad Le'Achim asked Jews not to celebrate any further events such as weddings or Bar Mitzwot at the Kibbutz hotel. Or in other words: Boycott the Kibbutz.

Now Ramat Rachel ran some ads and claimed the following:

Ramat Rachel runs the Kibbutz hotel according to Jewish tradition and the hotel as a Hechsher "Kasher Le'Mehadrin".

It is true that Christian groups stayed in the hotel over Sukkot but just in order to participate in the Jerusalem March organized by the Christian Embassy and the Municipality.

Ramat Rachel distanced itself from any kind of missionary activity let alone would invite messianic Jews.

However, fact is, that Ramat Rachel has been the host of many Christian groups for a long time. At certain times during the year, radical Christians travel to the Kibbutz where fanatic lectures are being held. Also anti - Jewish lectures.

Maybe Ramat Rachel should pay more attention to what their guests are talking about.
