The Rabbi from Burbank

Plot

"Just come along quietly, Rabbi," one of the officers said. "We're leaving the synagogue." This was not Germany, or Russia, or some Iron Curtain country - this was Burbank, California. Rabbi Isidor Zwirn was being physically dragged off the bimah and out of his synagogue for sharing what he had discovered in Isaiah's prophecies. An Orthodox Jew, using the very methods of doresh (research) taught to him in rabbinical school, after a lengthy and careful search of the Old Testament Scriptures, made an announcement that radically changed his life: "I have come to the conclusion that the Yeshuah of the Christians is also the Messiah of the Jews." The news spread through the neighborhood, to the synagogue, and finally to the Los Angeles Orthodox Jewish Council, who ordered the synagogue to expel him or lose their orthodox status. The Rabbi from Burbank is an exciting story of the faithfulness of God, who responds to anyone searching for truth.
