Why would they want a rabbi from Israel to go and speak to their church, come into this place in the middle of nowhere? And all of a sudden, all the men have beards, a zillion kids.

Shabbat is in the Ten Commandments on Saturday. They started honoring Shabbat. Then they started reading the Bible, and they're like, how could we be against Israel?
