(IsraelNN.com) A Christian Embassy video features Rabbi Shlomo Riskin using language that some Jews charge is theologically problematic. Speaking later with Israel National News, Rabbi Riskin retracted part and explained the rest.
The video shows Rabbi Riskin – a highly-respected Orthodox rabbi and scholar who founded the city of Efrat in Gush Etzion and is now its Chief Rabbi – speaking of the “grafting” of evangelical Christianity onto Israel and "resurrecting" G-d.
Rabbi Riskin says he should not have used the word "resurrect," but explained that the Jewish and Christian view of G-d must overcome and "rescue" the world from the fundamentalist Moslem theological view.
