Messianic Jewish Preacher Kirt Schneider Uses Billboards to Promote Christian Conversion in Heavily Jewish Areas
Kirt Schneider, a self-proclaimed Messianic Jewish rabbi, is behind a billboard campaign in heavily Jewish areas of New York City and Tel Aviv, featuring the website 'Jews.com'. The billboards, including prominent placements near the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, direct visitors to a site where Schneider advocates for the belief that Jesus is the Jewish messiah. Schneider, who has not been ordained and did not attend yeshiva, states his mission is to bring the 'truth of Messiah Yeshua to Jewish people' and create a 'spiritual harvest.' This initiative is part of a broader effort by Schneider, who also hosts a TV show and radio programs, to convert Jews to Christianity. He previously conducted a similar billboard campaign in Times Square in 2019. Schneider maintains that his belief in Jesus does not diminish his Jewish identity, asserting that Judaism is carried by bloodline rather than belief.
