  This was my first visit back to Houston to minister at Beth Yeshua HaMashiach (House of Jesus the Messiah) Congregation since their leader Gus Elowitz had died suddenly a few years back.Gus was a man of God who devotedly reached out to the Jewish community with the Good News of Messiah.His wife Kathy, a gifted singer and mature servant of the Lord was a perfect complement in his ministry calling.His faithfulness in boldly sharing Messiah never failed to impress me.
  
  I first met Gus in the late 1970's soon after he came to faith in Messiah.He attended a Bible study that I conducted in midtown Manhattan.He loved to learn and serve.Later as his supervisor, I saw him become an effective evangelist and Bible teacher in New York City.In 1989 Gus and Kathy were called to serve in Houston, and as my schedule allowed, it was my delight to occasionally serve and assist them at their congregation Beth Yeshua HaMashiach.
  ...
  It has been over two years since Gus had gone home to be with His Messiah, so I prayed the Lord would use me as an instrument of encouragement to strengthen their leadership.

  This photo was taken in June 1999 by Messianic Rabbi Gus Elowitz (Beth Yeshua ha-Mashiach, Houston, TX.). I'm wearing a TALLIT (prayer robe) and KUPPAH or 'yarmulke' (little hat).

  Gus Elowitz is the recently deceased leader of Beth Yeshua HaMashiach.
  ...
  Here is a link to Gus Elowitz in the "MinisterSearch" of the South Baptist Convention web-site: Click Here
  ...
  So, Beth Yeshua is a part of the Southern Baptist Convention and Elowitz is a Southern Baptist minister.
  ...
  "Rabbi" Elowitz is clearly referred to as a Southern Baptist pastor by the Southern Baptist Covention's web-site.Here is a quote on their site regarding sponsoring churches, specifically trying to convert Jews and Arabs.
  
  "While peace between Arabs and Jews eludes world leaders, two Southern Baptist pastors, one a messianic Jew, the other a native of Jordan, say the answers can be found in Jesus Christ.
  
  During a Feb. 22 national conference on starting new churches, each pastor committed his congregation to sponsor a new church that will focus primarily on reaching the other's people.Messianic Rabbi Gus Elowitz of the Beth Yeshua congregation in Houston says his commitment has nothing to do with middle eastern politics....
  ...
  At the June 1998 annual convention meeting, Elowitz proposed a motion.Actually, the motion was a procedural issue, and had nothing to do with Messianic Judaism.The motion was
  
  "6) require that all resolutions proposed by messengers to annual meetings be presented for floor votes -- Gustave Elowitz, Beth Yeshua Ha Mashiach, Houston."
  ...
  Actually, Gus Elowitz is quite the leader of the Southern Baptist movement.He was the Vice-President of the North American Messianic Association,the Messianic branch of the Southern Baptist Convention.
  ...
  But, remember a steady diet of (Jewish Roots) any of these issues will stunt the growth of the Messianic synagogue...For information on planting Messianic synagogues contact Rabbi Gus Elowitz ..."
  
  So, let me understand this correctly.Southern Baptists need to evangelize Jews, talking too much about Judaism will hurt the message, and talk to Gus Elowitz for more information.Does this really make sense if you believe that Elowitz is a Jewish leader?Of course not!
  ...
  So in conclusion, "Rabbi" Elowitz was really Reverend Elowitz, an active member of the Southern Baptist Movement, trying to convert Jews.

  If somehow we don't get together very soon and find common ground , this is going to continue to escalate and someone is going to be badly hurt or killed , said Gus Elowitz , pastor of a Houston Messianic congregation , also taken to task by Horowitz in the Jewish Community Relations Council's letter to Patterson.
  ...
  Elowitz serves as vice president of the North American Messianic Association within the SBC.We must have a break in the hostilities , Elowitz said.Messianic Jews are getting chopped up by friendly fire from people who should be on our side on so many issues , but who have a problem with us because being Jews , we refuse to turn our backs on our Jewishness after becoming Christians.We can't do that and we won't do that..
  
  Until and unless Jewish extremists and other organizations teach their members to provide basic human respect for Messianic Jews and respond to them as fellow human beings , instead of something to be cursed and hated , there will only be more terror unleashed against Messianic Jews , said Mitch Glaser , president of Chosen People Ministries.
  ...
  We are a synagogue and I am a rabbi , Elowitz responded.
  ...
  Houston , as most major cities , has more than one phone book , Elowitz said , and his synagogue usually runs a display ad in one or more of the phone books , prominently displaying his church's motto : Yeshua is the Hebrew name for Jesus..
  
  Glaser agreed that Messianic Jews have the right to call their meeting places synagogues and have done so since the time of Christ.The Greek word used for the gathering of believers in the Bible is synagogue.The early churches met in synagogues.They did not go around talking about church.It was synagogue , where Jesus was worshiped and taught as Messiah.What else would they have called it? Glaser asked.
  ...
  As Messianic Jews , we don't tell Jewish rabbis how to conduct their services , nor do we protest when Jewish community groups use symbols from our shared heritage , Elowitz said.Why must we be the targets of such attacks by fellow Jews because we follow the Jewish Messiah?.
  
  ...
  Neither Glaser nor Elowitz , both very active in Messianic circles , are familiar with the congregation.
  
  Glaser said he is very grateful that Patterson , as the SBC's president , has risen to the Messianic Jewish movement's defense in an effort to help stem the rising tide of violence against Messianic Jews by other Jews , which threatens to drown any chances for meaningful dialogue between the two groups.
  ...
  This has to stop before people are killed , Elowitz said.
