Rishon L’Tzion Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef Shlita released a letter on Sunday, Rosh Chodesh Kislev, regarding missionary activities around Israel. Rav Yosef calls on the tzibur at large to be aware of the threat that exists, as they distribute CDs and literature, which on the service appears innocent.

In the letter to his Bureau Chief Rav Yitzchak Daniel, he reveals that Yad L’Achim has passed missionary materials that it found in various areas around the country. Yad L’Achim calls upon Rav Yosef to use his office to do whatever possible to act against the missionaries.

Yad L’Achim reports that the missionaries are working without interruption throughout the country, working to persuade people to leave their religion for their way of life.
