Protestors are upset about a second Deaf Messianic Jews (DMJ) conference that will take place during the Messiah ’97 conference, a four-day event to take place in July at Messiah College in Grantham, PA. Rev. Sigmund Epstein and DMJ president Joe Cohn are the key people organizing the Deaf gathering. Robin Polin of Tulsa, OK is reportedly trying to expand the ministry and she is said to have contacted a Jewish outreach worker, a Jewish teacher, and three Messianic Jewish rabbis who are all hearing-impaired. Among the topics discussed at the first DMJ conference that was held at the Kellogg Conference Center at Gallaudet University last year, ten people tried to disrupt the event which had, among its topics and workshops: the Jewish Feasts, ‘How to Win Jews to Messiah’, anti-Semitism, and ‘The Deaf Hear – At Last’ presented by Rev. Robert Nathan of Fort Wayne, IN based on Isaiah 29.19.
