Hayovel Ministry: A Tragic Tale Of Jewish Collaboration With Missionaries

For years now, a handful of Jews have tried to expose Tommy Waller's "Hayovel Ministry", a crafty organization of evangelical missionizing in Israel. With their deceptive use of "relational evangelism" (a clever take on restoration theology), Hayovel accomplished an unbelievable thing. They formed relationships with religious Jews (including a small group of Rabbis) and successfully infiltrated religious communities. Twenty years ago this would have been unimaginable. Jews who would have dared to align with such people would have been ostracized by Torah-minded Jews in their own communities.

When Hayovel first came on the scene in Israel, their shocking candor showed their true intentions. As a result of these tactical errors, the earliest promotional videos were quickly removed, although they continue to make mistakes time and again. These occasional errors (less frequent today as they are groomed and taught by Jews how to behave ) occasionally compel Tommy Waller to engage in his patented apologies where he chalks up Hayovel's errors to a "learning process". Inevitably they still make mistakes, thus continuing the predictable cycle of Waller's breast-beating "apologies".

Although they are clever students, sometimes the truth comes out in other ways. Occasionally a video that wasn't supposed to be released shows us Hayovel's true "heart" when in an intimate American home-setting with fellow believers. In such settings, Waller can be seen praying for Jewish souls and explaining that his organization helps Jews discover "their messiah".

Hayovel is having a Livestream conference today featuring prominent religious Jews who've aligned and collaborated with them. The most tragic aspect of the story is that so many of the worst players in this saga are religious Jews. Some actually believe the distorted rationalizations they use to justify halachically problematic/prohibited associations. The sincerity of others is more suspect when you consider the enormous economic benefit they receive from these historically unprecedented associations and the inevitable explosion of libel and slander when the facts are exposed.

See for yourself. Behind the good old boy "heimish" veneer, this is the true face of Hayovel:

"Cry For Am Yisrael": Portrait of A Chillul Hashem

Reminder: When Jews in public positions who fancy themselves leaders, make bad decisions which adversely affect Am Yisrael, EVERY concerned Jew has an obligation to address the outrage and call out the culpable party. Failure to do so renders one a silent partner in chillul Hashem. I am sure that Moshe Feiglin has many merits. But the intention of this article is to show that he lacks the requisite abilities for Torah based Jewish leadership.

On Chanukah, G-d-fearing Jews recall the legacy of Maccabee heroism and Kiddush Hashem (sanctification of Hashem's Name). Those of us who are fortunate to live in Israel have opportunities to witness and partake of great things to sanctify G-d's Name. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. The holiest place in the world is precisely where the greatest defilement of Torah values can occur. And because of our sins, this is commonplace today. 

On December 5th, 2018, we witnessed such an outrage against Hashem, when an interfaith convention was held at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center. It was even worse. In an age of social media, the sin was live-streamed to the entire world. We cannot calculate the extent of this vulgar display. Who knows how many millions of evangelical Christians witnessed religious Jews and one prominent religious politician, participate in a public event with renowned missionaries?

In the aftermath of this egregious chillul Hashem, I listened closely and I heard tumbleweeds. The sound of silence, save for a few brave voices who addressed the event and were largely excoriated on Facebook by the kinds of people who support such events. The outrage of the Torah community was non-existent.

Moshe Feiglin of the religious "Zehut" party spoke at the event. In fairness, Feiglin wasn't the only religious Jew involved in this disgrace. Many of the names in attendance are heavily involved in such forbidden relationships. Ari Abramowitz spoke. So did Yisrael Medad. And Tuly Weisz of course, the Director of the notorious interfaith organization Israel365. Other posts will deal with these and other religious participants. 

But this post is focused on Moshe Feiglin because he aspires to become Prime Minister of Israel one day. Forget about the likelihood of such an occurrence (it will never happen). He wants to be a leader. So his participation is even more egregious since it shows the kind of leader he would be. A Jewish leader has to be willing and able to combat Esau and Ishmael. Again we deal with issues of spiritual and physical survival. Clearly, Feiglin doesn't understand the missionary problem in Israel and abroad, and his participation speaks volumes about the kind of weak-kneed approach he would take to evangelical missionaries. Frankly, I don't understand why Feiglin ever left the Likud.  If he was going to sleep with Esau, he could have always remained with Likud, where such affairs are commonplace, public, and acceptable. And they are so much better at it.

So much for Feiglin’s past claims that he opposed such unholy associations. Baloney. And where are all those die-hard Feiglinites today who insisted that Feiglin opposed these problematic relationships? Over the years, more than a few people castigated us when we called him out for his past dalliances with questionable personalities. Anyone remember Joel Bell? (JewishIsrael) At the time, his defenders rose up with righteous indignation to defend him. These were innocent mistakes, we were told. Feiglin himself assured people that he would be more careful in the future. 

Furthermore, there were more recent issues relating to certain personalities who were chosen to be in Zehut. There was silence when we questioned the inclusion of those who are highly involved with halachically prohibited interfaith endeavors. Again we were told by certain Feiglinites that these issues were being addressed behind the scenes. What will they say now? Will they call for Feiglin's ouster from Zehut? I haven't heard anything from any of his supporters since his shameful participation at the convention last week. 

It all makes more sense now. The writing is on the wall and those with Torah based common-sense can read it. It is clear to me and to many others that Feiglin's Zehut Party is desperate for money. I think it is reasonable to assume that the Jewish well ran dry after a 14 year failed experiment with Likud. And in the aftermath of that debacle, Feiglin seems to have made a pragmatic decision to hold hands with evangelicals, since they are generous and their money never runs dry. They are always eager to share it with religious Jews. Only a man of principles and integrity would reject such pragmatic resources. The kind of person who might indeed be fit to lead. 

Who is Doron Keidar? Here are some naked facts, without exhausting this issue. 

• FACT: Doron Keidar is a notorious missionary.

• FACT: "Cry For Zion" is a missionary organization. 

• FACT: Most of the speakers in attendance were missionaries.

Feiglin's attendance and participation speak volumes about his ravenous political ambitions. He is unfit for Jewish leadership. No sane Jew who truly gave a damn about these issues would participate in an event with Keidar. It also shows arrogance. He doesn't give a damn. He believes he can weather the resistance of the cadre of Jews who give a damn about these things.

Remember this when the next elections come around: This past Chanukah, on December 5th, 2018, Moshe Feiglin publicly chose Brother Esau as his partner.

A personal message for Moshe Feiglin: 

Shame on you. When it was time to become a Maccabee you became a mouse. On the night of Chanukah when we recall the heroism of fighting Hellenism, you contaminated the oil and defiled the Temple at a missionary convention. I ask you one question, Moshe. What would the Kohen Gadol Matityahu have done were he within arm's reach of a rasha m'rusha such as Doron Keidar? Don't answer the question. Heaven forbid the walls may be listening.  

Kipah or not, we Jews don't need such religious "Temple Mount" activists. On the contrary. Such a Mikdash would be unfit to enter. The oil would be contaminated.

Kay Wilson: The Obligation To Ask Questions

No one should get a pass for an unsavory past, particularly when one denies her past, and shows zero indication of any changed ideology or repentance. For those who don't live under a rock, Kay Wilson has a lot of questions to answer. And to this day, she bullies those who do what any reasonable, self-respecting, Jew should do, when asked about her past, rather than respond with sensible answers. For those who aren't afraid to oppose the spineless, unprincipled, hasbara machine, start your research with the following articles and audios:

Dennis "The Menace" Prager: Friend of Missionaries

Hasbara shill @DennisPrager breaks bread with CUFI missionary Dumisani Washington @dumisani6. So shameful. Prager’s “conservative” values are based upon his warped interpretations of Torah. Who else remembers when R’Kahane destroyed & exposed him during their classic debate? https://t.co/rCONKeVfKe

IsraellyCool's "Big" Stand: Part II

Update 1-21-18: David Lange of "Israellycool" has resorted to harassing/cyber-stalking me on twitter and email in response to the article. Additionally, he threatened me with a lawsuit, though I am quoting his own words and citing documentation for everything. He subsequently seems to have blocked me from his Twitter account so that I cannot respond. Clearly, he is a bully who cannot debate, and so he resorts to defamation in the manner of his arrogant colleague Ryan Bellerose, who has truly engaged in libel/slander against myself and my colleagues on many occasions. No one from "Stop Hayovel" is impressed nor will we be intimidated by this faux-tough guy. And if necessary, we will fight back legally. 

We are not impressed with you, David. You aren't a tough guy. You are a petulant bully, and personally I have always eaten up bullies for breakfast. How about threatening the enemies of Israel? As far as using your real name, where do you get off thinking you can get away with harassment by hiding behind a pseudonym. Ha Ha! Real tough. #hasbaramafia #hasbaranebs 

Attention hasbara bully, David Lange (aka Aussie Davis/Dave), and like-minded folk:

The administrative staff at “Stop Hayovel” and "The Judean Hammer” will not be intimidated by the impotent efforts of unscrupulous hasbarites to silence us from exposing missionaries and their enablers. Israellycool's David Lange recently became unhinged after reading our article "IsraellyCool's "Big" Stand". True to hasbara form, Lange leveled false allegations of libel and threatened me with lawsuits. What Lange didn't do was address or respond to one single point of the article. Hasbarites don't deal well with facts. Their knee-jerk response to evidence is to insult and defame. And to threaten to sue you for expressing a dissenting position.

As a notorious bully, David Lange is unaccustomed to being punched back (metaphorically, of course) in the nose. Unlike him, we at the "Stop Hayovel" blog stand up for authentic Jewish ideals, and we document everything we disseminate.We do it with disregard for popular sentiments. Threats of baseless lawsuits do not intimidate us, since everything we write is well documented. If anything, we have been repeatedly maligned with libel/slander by the likes of Israellycool's Ryan Bellerose, and countless other hasbarites. David should understand one thing. We have documentation and witnesses (who will testify) of genuine libel and slander, and if pushed, we have powerful legal resources at our disposal.

We are recirculating the article that triggered David Lange (aka Aussie Davis, Aussie Dave?). Of course we are, David. What did you think we would do? the article is a treasure trove of hasbara's weakness, hypocrisy, and penchant for pandering. The thoughtful reader can learn a lot about some critical issues and dangerous personalities on the hasbara scene today. It is the epitome of chutzpah for Israellycool to take Hananya Naftali (a miserable missionary creature in his own right) to task, yet ignore Kay Wilson's messianic past which she continues to deny, and to praise CUFI's messianic pastor Dumisani Washington.

Here is the article which triggered the ever-irritable Lange. As an aside, Israellycool is about as "right-wing" as StandWithUs, and as nebbish as same:IsraellyCool's "Big" Stand

*Note to the reader: Notice how I originally pointed out Israellycool’s tendency to show greater anger at us than missionary Hananya Naftali. I am not a prophet, but I predicted Lange's reaction, because hasbara is ridiculously predictable.

The Source of the Missionary Problem

The Source of the Missionary Problem- By Moshe Schwartz 

I write this in the hope of bringing clarity to the issue of missionaries in Israel.

As a consequence of the State of Israel's tolerance and support of foreign religions, we have the inevitable result of missionizing. It is unreasonable to assume that when we allow foreign worship to flourish in Israel, that other negative aspects of idolatry won't appear. Those who tolerate and promote avoda zara in what they deem to be a democratic State of Israel, are responsible for aiding to the missionary problem. Because the support of idolatry lays the foundation for missionaries to succeed.

A few basic truisms, from a Torah perspective:

• Halacha opposes the existence of Churches in Israel.
• Interfaith prayer and worship endanger Israel.
• CUFI, John Hagee's powerful evangelical organization is a menace.
• The missionary "volunteer" organization "Hayovel" is an unprecedented platform for missionizing in Israel.
• Those Jews who promote the fictitious "roots" of avoda zara are harming the Jewish people.

The latter tactic teaches our enemies how to interact with Jews. The most successful missionaries adapted throughout the generations, at times even giving the false impression that they rejected xtianity. Some of these "evolutions"/movements can be seen today in the following groups/ideologies:

• Messianics
• Two House
• Ephraimites
• Nazerene Judaism

Fact: The "Modern xtian friends of Israel" are just a new version of missionary on today's scene. Because of their clever charade, Jews work with them. The main reason we have this problem is because of Israeli hasbara (PR). This is precisely why organizations like CUFI and Hayovel and so many others are cozy with religious zionists like Likud MK,Yehuda Glick, David "HaIvri"Axelrod, Jeremy Gimpel, Ari Abramowitz, Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, Yishai Fliesher and so many others who've partnered with missionary organizations.

Fact: Mainstream organizations like StandWithUs support CUFI and have even featured their own missionary spokespeople like notorious Youtube personality, Hananyah Naftali. Naturally, hasbara darling Kay Wilson's skates with ease away from her messianic pasdt, and if you raise the documented issue, religious Jews will attack you! Prominent hasbara advocates such as Dennis Prager take a similar stand, as he shows with his many evangelical associations.

Fact: Our own Prime minister(Benjamin Netanyahu) considers John Hagee (founder and leader of CUFI ) a good friend to Israel. The Likud has been in bed with evangelicals for years. Likud leader, MK Yehuda Glick and Zehut's "Golden Boy" Yishai Fliesher openly endorse and support Hayovel.

Today's most powerful missionary organizations work under the umbrella of hasbara. Sadly, most Jews who oppose missionaries have no understanding that their support of avoda zara in Israel inevitably leads to empowering missionaries.  And those who pick and choose which form of xtianity is acceptable, unknowingly align themselves with the enemy. There is no free pass. If you do not understand that converting a Jew is just one aspect of missionizing than you have no understanding of the real problem.

Example: 99% of hunting involves NOT shooting an animal! A hunter first studies his prey.  A hunter uses camouflage and concealment principles. Consider this question: If a hunter doesn't have an opportunity to shoot an animal is he not a hunter?  Preying on Jewish souls requires similar measures. Without preparation and effort, the opportunities will be limited, consigned to the aggressive measure of the textbook street missionary.

Many of us who truly understand the dynamics and nuance of this threat are often accused of, "baseless hatred" and "lashon hara". Those who throw out these accusations are the same Jews who would rationalize xianity in Israel, and provide efforts for these hunters to prosper. To our detractors I say the following: You don't have to fight with us, nor do you have to support or even like us, but when you try to undermine us you are messing with the bull. You show yourself to be corrupt, naive, or both. Because as we show time and again, here at Hayovel: The Enemy Within we document everything and we only deal in truth, however unpopular that may be. Even our sarcasm and unfortunate need to highlight the tragic and the absurd has a bitter point.

Yishai Fleisher calls Hayovel "Settlers in the land of Israel"

Flattering Hayovel missionaries several months ago.

Yishai Fleisher on his show on the Land of Israel Network (starting at 26:37):

"Then, after that, I went to see our good friends, our gentile friends, who have become settlers in the land of Israel. 

I'm talking about the Hayovel organization, and the volunteers who come, the christian volunteers who come to till the land, and to pick the vines of Judea and Samaria to make Jewish wine in the land of Israel, and to fulfill biblical prophecy. 

I got to see the Waller folks, and all of their amazing volunteers, and to address them a little bit, Malka did as well, and to see their beautiful community right next to Har Bracha in Samaria. Har Bracha is Har Gerizim, the Mount Gerizim. 

And check out Hayovel, H - A - Y - O - V - E - L, to connect with them. If you're not Jewish and you're listening to the show, you've gotta come on a Hayovel tour, working tour, believe me you're gonna be getting up at four in the morning to work the fields of Samaria, and you will love every minute of it."
