ISRAEL: MESSIANIC JEW WINS SUPREME COURT BATTLE

Many of you who visit here are aware of the very difficult struggle and persecution believers in Jesus Christ, or messianic Jews, undergo living in Israel today from the orthodox and secular Jewish people from the many reports I have written about here.

Three years ago a bakery owner in Israel lost her Jewish dietary law certificate because of her faith in Jesus Christ. The good news is that recently it was announced that this messianic Jew wins the Supreme Court battle.

JERUSALEM , July 15 (Compass Direct News) – For three long years a Jewish believer in Christ struggled to keep her bakery business alive after the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, the country’s highest religious governing body, annulled her kashrut (Jewish dietary law) certificate because of her faith.

Pnina Conforti, 51, finally gave a sigh of relief when the Israeli Supreme Court on June 29 ruled that her belief in Jesus Christ was unrelated to her eligibility for a kashrut certificate. While bakeries and restaurants in Israel are not required to obtain such a permit, the loss of one often slows the flow of customers who observe Jewish dietary laws and eventually can destroy a business.

Conforti said that the last three years were very difficult for her and her family, as she lost nearly 70 percent of her customers. Read more at Compass Direct News
