Some 120 Jewish youths demonstrated Thursday night in front of the offices of Beth Shar Shalom, a missionary movement, to protest their activities. A spokesman for Betar, the Zionist youth organization that sponsored the demonstration, said there will be an organized campaign against missionary groups such as Beth Shar Shalom, which he said call themselves Hebrew Christians and attempt to persuade-Jews that it is possible to be Jewish and also accept Jesus. The Betar spokesman said his group has also started a counter-missionary campaign to protest against “Key 73.”
