Dozens of missionaries from Canada are operating all over Israel according to Yad L’Achim.

The group of ‘J Witnesses’ arrived in Israel and in recent weeks, they have visited at least ten cities around Israel, proselytizing to bring people to Christianity. They are going door-to-door trying to engage people in discussion to permit them to explain about “life and its meaning”.

They are distributing missionary literature and B”H Yad L’Achim was notified immediately and responded to the call, working aggressively against them, including a media campaign warning Israelis of their actions.

To date, Yad L’Achim activists have found the missionaries operating in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Bat Yam, Holon, Yahud, Netanya, Yokneam and Tiveria. Yad L’Achim is receiving calls on a daily basis, signaling the fervor of these activists in so many areas, working to chas v’sholom take people from their Yiddishkheit.

According to reports they come to homes in groups of three and at least one is a Hebrew speaker. They are also leaving literature in public areas, always pointing out to all the material is available free of charge.
