From the Cleveland Jewish News:

Over 50 evangelical Christian leaders signed a full-page ad in The New York Times earlier this spring urging conversion of Jews, notably by followers of Jews for Jesus.

While dozens of pastors and other evangelical Christian leaders signed The Times ad, Poupko says it’s important to note that no major leader of American evangelical Christianity signed.

I have a recollection that one of my siblings was a Jew for Jesus during college years (30 years ago) and performed in Godspell a lot. But I don’t really remember much more than that.  He’s been very active in a reform shul for at least the last ten years.

I believe this is the statement that was published (notice how few women are signators?).  Here’s someone else’s take on the ad and one more that hints at the cost of the ad.
