Ops, denominação errada...

Outrage as Pence brings out Messianic ‘rabbi’ to pray for synagogue victims (Times of Israel):

US Vice President Mike Pence sparked outrage on Monday when the “rabbi” he invited onto the stage to say a prayer for the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre turned out to be a Messianic Christian, who invoked “Jesus the Messiah” at the event.

However, a spokesperson for Pence later said he did not know Rabbi Loren Jacobs of the Messianic congregation Shema Yisrael, when he called him onto the stage to offer a prayer for the victims during a Michigan campaign stop.

“God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, God and Father of my Lord and Savior Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, and my God and Father too,” Jacobs, wearing a tallit, intoned, causing much consternation, two days after a gunman who said all Jews should be killed shot dead 11 worshipers at a Pittsburgh synagogue, the worst attack on Jews in US history.
Chamar-lhes "cristãos" e pôr rabi entre aspas, como faz o Times of Israel, será também discutível (seria como por entre aspas o papa dos coptas ou os popes ortodoxos só porque não são o papa da Igreja Católica), mas de certo os judeus messiânicos são muito diferentes dos judeus tradicionais (p.ex., aceitam Cristo como Messias e filho de Deus), nomeadamente com os da sinagoga alvo do atentado.
