Introducing Alex Artovski, reportedly a former Soviet policeman, former Israeli policeman and current head of Yad LâAchimâs anti-Missionary department.
A few years ago Artovski once boasted to the Orthodox newspaper HaModia that he uses all the tricks of his former trade as a policeman in the oppressive Soviet regime. It is a bit odd then that Yad LâAchim are considering taking Calev Myers, a Messianic Jewish lawyer, to court for describing their tactics as similar to such totalitarian regimes when Artovski made a similar claim himself!
Artovski (Artovsky), in his late forties, early fifties, uses various techniques to wage war against Messianic Jews and missionaries, amongst them included his going undercover and pretending to be interested in Yeshua. He targets the weak inside the congregation and then intensively works on them to âsave their soulsâ.
Artovski boasted that he has paid âinformantsâ in nearly all Israelâs Messianic congregations as well as informants abroad in the upper echelons of the Messianic  movement.
Yad LâAchimâs Facebook page  state: The Jewish soul is a precious, all-too-rare resource, and we are not prepared to give up on even a single one. .. There are no âlost causes.â Yad LâAchim will continue its rescue activities, together with its efforts at Jewish outreach, as long as the problem of missionaries and Jewish-Arab marriageâ¦â   Yad LâAchim really believes it has soul rights on all Jews and will do anything to bring secular, atheist, Reform, agnostic, Messianic Jewish souls to Orthodox Judaism, and the Rebbe!
Yad LâAchim have been linked to the Ami-bomber by Teitel himself who claims he was one of their volunteer activists, a claim Yad LâAchim are predictably quick to refute. However such was the case when Yad LâAchim switched stories when a Chabadnik Yad LâAchim volunteer Raphael Miriashvili, 25, of Lod was found murdered in Israel.
Artovski is no stranger to both sides of the law and knows the terrain well.
