In the Gospel according to St. Mark, Our Blessed Lord said:

Nowhere did he say, “except for your ethnic brothers and sisters, the Jewish people because they are all okay and don’t ever have to believe in me or be baptized to be saved.”
"Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned."
And again according to St. Matthew :
"Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
Nowhere did he say, “except for your ethnic brothers and sisters, the Jewish people because they are all okay and don’t ever have to believe in me or be baptized to be saved.”What would our "Hebrew" Catholic brothers and sisters think of this such as Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God, OSB, (Rosalind Moss) founder of the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel's Hope? What about the author of Salvation is from the Jews Roy Shoeman, or Brother Bob Fishman a Third Order Franciscan? What about St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) or Cardinal Lustiger, the former Archbishop of Paris; what must they think of this?
It would seem to me then; that to not pray for the conversion of and to not evangelise our Jewish brothers and sisters is actually the worst thing we could to them and frankly, anti-Semitic.
If we really love the Jews we should be preaching to them that the Messiah has come and will come again and His name is Yeshua!

What must our Blessed Lord Jesus think of these men who have taken control of His Holy Church. His blood was shed for the Jewish people and the whole world. He came first to them. Not all of them rejected Him as most of the early Christians were Jews. Yet the Church, mandated to convert the world, has done a grievous harm to our Jewish "elder brethren," by failing to carry it out to them.
I cannot imagine being these men when the Lord will call them to account for leaving Muslims, Buddhists, Hindu's and especially, His Chosen People in darkness.
