I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

I keep trying to convince myself to switch to kindle version, but I like them on my shelf (and in my "to read" stack so I can't ignore them). So I'll be ordering the paper version... Carl I. Jerusalem, do you guys want one?
BTW, it isn't just the Catholics. And there is a 3rd thing, where only believers in Christ (and belief/faith is the key, not life actions) will go to "heaven." And the rest, including Jews, will burn in "Hell" for all eternity. Those lovely liberal progressive Episcopalians (prime interfaith partners to Jewish communal organizations) teach that to the extent that the one who goes along with it will cut off relationships with parts of a family who raise the kids Jewish. There's some Anglican program out of the UK called Alpha that spread this poison throughout the '90s.
The church I attend is already very pro-Israel but I plan to order that book for the library.
I find the history of Israel strangely comforting. From the beginning the people of Israel have messed up big time and yet God has never disowned them. I have also messed up a lot and have had to remind myself that God's promises do not depend on me but on his faithfulness. God's covenant is eternal.
