Israel Taps Into Interfaith Tourism

As Israeli tourism officials focus on their main demographic with seven new tourism DVDs targeting Christian churches, 233 people will travel to Israel on Dec. 20 for the Los Angeles Jewish community\’s 10-day, post-Chanukah Mega-Mission. The number falls short of the 400 Jewish tourists who were expected to go, with the drop-off partly due to the Orthodox Union\’s (OU) convention last month in Israel.

Jesus vs. Kyle

\”South Park\” is known for its irreverent take on political and social issues of the day, and this episode is no different.

For years, Kyle\’s loud-mouthed friend Eric Cartman has slammed him for being Jewish. But in the beginning episodes of season eight, Cartman feels justified in his anti-Semitism after seeing \”The Passion.\” He taunts Kyle to watch the movie and prove him wrong.

Quiet Debut for ‘Passion’ DVD

When Rabbi Harold Shulweis learned that the DVD of \”The Passion of the Christ,\” which debuted on Aug. 31, would be just a bare-bones, no-frills copy of Mel Gibson\’s controversial movie, the spiritual leader of Encino\’s Valley Beth Shalom said, \”That\’s very good. I don\’t think the Jewish community has to repeat, regurgitate, all the anguish, all the anger.\”
