Burning Christian Missionary Propaganda in Or Yehuda
“Or Yehuda, a small town near Tel Aviv, did what bigger places should have already done a long time ago. Inhabitants collected Christian missionary material and burned everything publicly. Thus, several hundred New Testaments were burned.I just wish that other places would follow this example.As soon as I see a pile of New Testaments laid out by Christian missionaries, I throw everything into the garbage.” Shearim.blogspot.com
“Or Yehuda deputy mayor: I’m sorry about burning New Testaments” JPost
” To #2: Without getting into wether I agree or disagree withtheir actions, the fact that the old testament is also printed together with their new testament doesnt make it against halacha to burn. On the contrary, the Rambam clearly states that a sefer torah that was written by an apikorus (even if it is a “kosher torah scroll” with ink on parchment) MUST be burned!!! It has absolutely no kedusha and one may not learn from it.Comment by boruchhashem — May 20, 2008 @ 9:55 am” Comments@TheYeshivaWorld.com
