Xerox has an amusing advertisement, actually an update of a much older commercial, showing Brother Dominic, who, after painstakingly writing a manuscript, is instructed to make 500 copies and (in the update) to translate it and distribute it worldwide.
The monk, naturally, uses Xerox technology to do this. His words are spread worldwide.
Notice at what happens at the 0:45 second mark.
Religious Jews are discussing Brother Dominic’s words!
Is Xerox advocating missionary activity among Jews?
I’m being tongue in cheek.
But I can imagine some Jewish groups protesting to Xerox over this trifle of a commercial.
Please don’t! There are enough real problems with antisemitism that we don’t have to make up issues and force apologies over what was simply meant to be amusing.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
