Deputy Foreign Minister Dani Ayalon's wife Anne is a "born-again believer" who is openly proselytizing on evangelical television and in official banquets.
In this video she appears on Daystar, a missionary network with “a singular goal—to reach souls with the good news of Jesus Christ”. Mrs. Ayalon considers it good news that, "Eighty percent of Jesus' ministry is up in the Galilee. You walk there and you just feel God's love!"
Anne uses her position as the wife of a Jewish Israeli leader to “share her testimony about Jesus, “witnessing" on the banquet circuit. According to the Charles Carrin Ministries:
"While I was surprised by the Ambassador and his wife’s youthfulness, I was more astounded that Anne Ayalon used the Banquet-occasion to share her testimony about Jesus. She is a born-again believer. Speaking before high-ranking Jewish delegates, Washington’s media-reporters, and other international figures, she told of her love for Jesus and even gave a capable explanation of God’s Trinitarian nature. I sat there astonished. Never have I witnessed more graciousness, more spiritual beauty, or more gentleness than she displayed. No one could have criticized her loveliness. The incoming Ambassador’s wife, Noa Meridor, listened attentively as she spoke. More so, I was overwhelmed, wondering about the effects of such a woman becoming Israel’s First Lady. Pray for this couple!"
I noticed this excerpt is done in such a way to portray a different message. There are a couple of key sentences that were left out. I wonder why, because it didn't agree with a xtian viewpoint. I think it's disingenous to edit an article to give a different impression than that of the original. If this is going on how much can we trust II.
First, I was speaking of the text that was left out. That should have been obvious. When I first looked at this I wasn't aware there was a video on the page. In any event what does Ephraim have to do with this, unless you, aslo, believe in the replacement theology of xtianity, namely the Ephraimites. Also, all of xtianity preaches replacement theology, only in different modes. The descendants of Ephraim are unknown this day. They Won't be known until Mashiach reveals who is a Jew and who they are Descended From. This is speaking of the envy of the past, namely during the two kingdoms and that in the days of Mashiach there won't be this envy anymore. I guess we all must realize, according to xtians, that the Jews are "blinded" to this truth, which so many want to profess constantly. Of course, from that viewpoint, that means that G-d "blinded" the Jews since the beginning of the Common Era, and in so doing condemned all those Jews who did't accept jc. Evidently those Jews don't even have a chance. They are blinded so they "can't see" the truth and also condemned for Not "believing" the turth. This insinuates that G-d is a vengeful, spiteful G-d. Certainly Not the G-d of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov.
In truth, we Know who has the Truth. As written in Tehillim 147:19,20 "He relates His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. He did not do so for any other nation; such judgments they know them not"
One thing I would like to point out is that Christians are not the 'righteous gentiles' the B'nai Noah are, the Noahides who keep the 7 Laws of the Noahide Covenant. And learn with rabbis. We do not worship any false gods at all and we certainly do not pray to any intermediary between us and HaShem.
Frances, as much as Christianity is most likely considered a violation of the prohibition of Avodah Zara (the 2nd of the 10 Commandments and 1 of the 7 Noahide Laws), I frankly don't know how Hashem takes into consideration that they have been doing so blindly for 2000, in addition to taking into account that I have no idea how to measure in judgement such a person who has done so many good deeds to their fellow man over a life-time. No group of people have a monopoly over kindness and achievement of good.
I highlighted my words "most likely" above because there are Halachic authorities who have said that certain forms of intermediary worship ("Shi'toof), while forbidden to Jews, may be allowable in some cases to non-Jews.
Wife of Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister is a “Born Again Believer”
Posted by Ellen Horowitz for Jewish Israel
She may be "born again", but this “Judeo-Christian union” could be the death of us all (G-d forbid)…
Evangelical Christian Anne Ayalon, the wife of Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon, can be seen and heard on Daystar Television kvelling (sic!) about Jesus’s ministry in Israel (see 8 minutes into the video).
Daystar is a premier missionary network with “a singular goal—to reach souls with the good news of Jesus Christ”, and I guess Mrs. Ayalon considers it good news that, "Eighty percent of Jesus' ministry is up in the Galilee. You walk there and you just feel god's love!"
It’s reportedly not the first time that Anne has used her position as the wife of a Jewish Israeli leader to “share her testimony about Jesus “ . As the wife of the former Ambassador of Israel to the United States, it appears Mrs. Ayalon witnessed on the banquet circuit…
Here’s a choice excerpt from Charles Carrin Ministries:
"While I was surprised by the Ambassador and his wife’s youthfulness, I was more astounded that Anne Ayalon used the Banquet-occasion to share her testimony about Jesus. She is a born-again believer. Speaking before high-ranking Jewish delegates, Washington’s media-reporters, and other international figures, she told of her love for Jesus and even gave a capable explanation of God’s Trinitarian nature. I sat there astonished. Never have I witnessed more graciousness, more spiritual beauty, or more gentleness than she displayed. No one could have criticized her loveliness. The incoming Ambassador’s wife, Noa Meridor, listened attentively as she spoke. More so, I was overwhelmed, wondering about the effects of such a woman becoming Israel’s First Lady. Pray for this couple!"
Israel better pray long and hard that its Jewish leaders come back to themselves and to their people.
I am a Christian, but I am wary not only of programs like this, but also of the genuineness of Anne's faith, most evangelical Christians would frown on a marriage with a non Christian whatever their background as disobedience- though the warm sentiments for Israel in the video are commendable.
This is Ann Ayalon who is Ambassador for Jesus tells others to bow to her. Great Ambassador for Jesus
Ann Ayalon had verbally abused household staff at her official residence in Washington. Yediot reported that she had called staff members, who are Israeli government employees, "stupid" and "retarded" and forced one to bow before her because her work was unsatisfactory.
In response, Israel's civil service commissioner, responsible for government employees, sent an investigator to Washington over the weekend to gather testimony from embassy workers, said spokesman Aryeh Grinblatt.
Tris this also is fact Danny Ayalon, children are not Jews unless they convert to Judaism
Ann is a christian so are her children
Tris you are as bad as the rest of the replacement christians Print
New scandal haunts Israeli govt
Jerusalem - Israel's latest political scandal involves the foreign minister, the ambassador to Washington, two angry wives - and Madonna.
Underlying the dizzying swirl of accusations is a long-running rivalry between the prime minister's office and the foreign ministry over who controls Israel's relations with the United States.
Traditionally, the prime minister is in charge of the all-important ties and picks the Israeli ambassador to Washington. Successive Israeli foreign ministers have complained they are being sidelined by their prime ministers when it comes to ties with Washington.
The current Israeli foreign minister, Silvan Shalom, reportedly was upset with the Israeli ambassador to Washington, Danny Ayalon, for failing to get him invited to the White House.
Israeli radio stations quoted Ayalon's supporters as saying the White House prefers to deal directly with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, noting Shalom has only shown lukewarm support for the Gaza withdrawal, seen by the Bush administration as crucial.
At Sunday's cabinet meeting, Sharon admonished his ministers over the infighting, asking them to "tone down their disputes," participants said on condition of anonymity.
Sharon was also apparently referring to a row over corruption allegations between vice premier Ehud Olmert and finance minister Benjamin Netanyahu - both of whom hope to succeed Sharon.
Tensions between the foreign minister and the ambassador erupted over the weekend, with the two camps trading accusations of inappropriate behaviour by Shalom's wife, Judy Nir-Moses, a member of the publishing family of the Yediot Ahronot daily, and the ambassador's wife, Ann Ayalon.
"The Ambassador vs Judy," read the front-page headline Sunday in the Maariv daily. "The Spat," summed up Yediot.
Earlier this month, Yediot reported that Ann Ayalon had verbally abused household staff at her official residence in Washington. Yediot reported that she had called staff members, who are Israeli government employees, "stupid" and "retarded" and forced one to bow before her because her work was unsatisfactory.
In response, Israel's civil service commissioner, responsible for government employees, sent an investigator to Washington over the weekend to gather testimony from embassy workers, said spokesman Aryeh Grinblatt.
The investigator, Netanel Lavit, has already spoken to former embassy staff in Jerusalem, he said.
The ambassador, meanwhile, accused Shalom's wife of pushing to have his personal assistant Liran Peterzil fired, and wants the attorney general to open an investigation, the justice ministry said. The attorney general, Meni Mazuz, will review a letter by Ayalon on the matter Sunday, the ministry said.
Ayalon claims that Judy Nir-Moses pushed to get the assistant fired after he failed to arrange a meeting for her with Madonna during the pop star's visit to Israel in September.
"At that moment, Judy took out a contract on me. I called her, tried to explain what happened, but she said 'Steve (Silvan) and I will never speak to you again,' and slammed the phone down," Peterzil was quoted as saying in Yediot.
Shalom's wife denied the allegations, telling Israel TV's Channel Two that it is "clear, completely clear" the accusations against her were raised to detract attention from the investigation of Ayalon's wife.
"Liran is charming, charming, just charming. He's cute and charming and I don't have one bad word to say about him," she said. Asked if the assistant should remain in his post, she said: "I don't get involved. It's not me. You know, it's very easy to blame me for everything."
The foreign ministry said Peterzil's position is being cut as part of general cost-cutting. The ministry said the assistant's three-year contract expired last year.
Tris if you did not always place your remarks and always defending christian posters no matter what they write. How are you defending Israel and the Jewish people, you are pushing christian policy not Jewish ones. How dare you to tell me or any one to leave and where to go to, this is still a Jewish web site and not a christian one. If I see any thing that looks or sounds like christian posting on this site I will post and will get you banded.
What I wrote was the truth and you cant handle the truth you want to make Israel a christian nation its not going to happen because it was tried before and G-Ds people are still here.
You post with your smart remarks but comes out looking upside down
Are you afraid of people like Sharbano and my self? Do you think there would be an Israel if people like us did not fight for it. You don't like me because I can see right thru your responses.
Radio or free2know what ever you are as long as there are people out there who think you cam say or insinuate what ever you want and think you will get away with it forget it, In your heart you do not even like Jews, you have always posted showing it in your false writings. Jews will never accept yashu so forget about it.
Radiant, now your sounding delusional. How can ANYTHING Yoel posted above be construed as a threatening manner. Now isn't that special, you saying Yoel has crossed the line. I have yet to see Yoel being banned for what he has posted. As I've asked before, where are your xtian principles. They surely aren't being shown on this site, espeically when it comes to Jews speaking out. I've been told that your anti-semitism shines through and though. In any event, what it comes down to is your persistence in everyone else "agreeing" with you, no matter what it is. No doubt that comes from the same philosophical position of "who" is a "real' xtian, those who agree with people like you, except that is Not what the GT has to say. Whoever believes in jc IS a xtian, no matter what. That's what the text says. Technically, even the Catholics are "real" xtians. They adhere to the text that defines a xtian. Whoever confesses and believes is what the text says. Since you believe in the teachings of jc, just tell me Where in the text is it that justifies everything you have said on this site, including those statements that you were banned for.
13. Who understands errors? Cleanse me of hidden [sins]. יג.
14. Also withhold Your servant from willful sins; let them not rule over me; then I will be perfect and I will be cleansed of much transgression. יד.
15. May the sayings of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable before You, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Tris I hold no malice, only the prayer that more christians like you who try to follow Torah find the one true G-D of Israel and other christians to follow the heart of Andrew one who respects the Jewish people Israel.
