Speaking of Food.....how about Donors?

Speaking of Food...how about Donors?
I remember eating a fine restaurants with the Executive Directors (Rosen and Brickner) of Jews for Jesus, and at different times with other Senior Staff of Jews for Jesus.

It was common to have bills in excess of $500 for a party of 4-7 people. Fine wine, fine food.

For example, I remember sitting in a restaurant in New York City eating steaks with Rosen. It was one of the Top 10 steak houses in the country (still is), and getting to see the $800 bill! There were only five of us eating!

I remember another time sitting at dinner with Brickner in San Francisco at a Sushi restaurant and getting to see that $700 bill (about $100 per person)!

I remember another time in at a restaurant in Brooklyn, NY with another senior staff person and having a $600 bill for five people!

And these weren't few and far between examples, either! These were at least once a month or more experiences!

What would the donors of Jews for Jesus do if they knew how freely their $5 monthly donation was spent on this kind of stomach Evangelism?

Yes, it seemed our reimbursement forms were filled up with receipts from restaurants.
