LDS, Jewish ties are strong - Mormons show 'a continuous record of support,' expert says
LDS, Jewish ties are strong
You don't have to look very far (Zions Bank, for example, or the Jordan River) to see the affinity that early Mormon settlers felt for Judaism. A century and a half later, it's still "a unique and special relationship," says Mark Paredes, who is both director of Jewish relations for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Southern California and outreach director for the American Jewish Congress. ... The LDS affinity for Judaism stems in part, he says, from the belief that Mormons are members of the house of Israel, a belief that "causes us to regard the Jews as more our brothers than other Christians do." Jews have flourished in Salt Lake City, says Paredes, who notes that the city elected a Jewish mayor in 1932 — years before New York City did — and that the first two Jewish governors in America were from Utah and Idaho, states with large LDS populations.

It's an interesting connection. But - I've had many evangelicals tell me that Jews would laugh in our Mormon faces if they saw how the priesthood is organized. They claim it's much different than how it is in the Torah. Any thoughts on this, anyone?

Do you not see how that is offensive? FYI - it isn't funny to dress up in a white sheet with a pointy hat for Halloween in case you were thinking of doing that.
