Large ads placed in the daily Maariv have sparked calls for a boycott of the newspaper by members of the frum community.

On erev Rosh Hashanah and erev Yom Kippur, ads appeared in the newspapers by missionaries, promoting their ‘Jews for Yeshu’ agenda, encouraging readers to order free missionary materials.

The public is being urged to phone the Maariv ombudsman, Mr. Meir Bleich, regarding the unacceptable ads in a major newspaper. His number is 03-563-2284, fax 03-561-0614 or [email protected]

The organizers of the effort are also urging subscribers to phone Maariv and cancel their subscriptions, being certain to explain the reason for the cancellation. The number of the subscriptions department is 03-764-8500 / *6200.
