Jews for Jesus are standing defiant against continued assaults on their ministry after vandals have again smashed the windows of their Bondi Junction bookshop.
Jews for Jesus National Director Bob Mendelsohn told the Wentworth Courier three youths were caught on the shop's closed circuit television camera (CCTV) committing the crime in the early hours of Sunday 26 June, which caused more than $3000 damage.
It is the third time the shop has been vandalised in three months.
The store front is the alleged target of a violent campaign to stop the staff from evangelising Jews.
Pictured is an attack on the shop in January caught on CCTV footage.
"It's as if someone is trying to intimidate us and make us leave town," Mr Mendelsohn told the Courier.
"We are not going anywhere. We are very happy in Sydney."
Since the bookshop opened in January 2005 Mr Mendelsohn, a member of Holy Trinity, Mowbray, says he has become the centre of on-going attacks.
The tyres of his car have been slashed, paint has been thrown over the vehicle and he has received threatening letters from a group calling itself "the team'.
The latest assault was broadcast on the Network Ten evening news.
Police are investigating the incidents.
It comes in the wake of a Jews for Jesus mission in Melbourne in March in which a billboard showing a Holocaust survivor who converted to Christianity was vandalised.
Australian Jewish leaders reject allegations Jews were responsible for the Victorian attack.
"Jesus suffered rejection far worse than this," Mr Mendelsohn says.
"He came to die, to rise again and to heal broken hearts. A few broken glass pieces show evidence of our need for such repair."
More information about the ministry led by Mr Mendelsohn is available through the Jews for Jesus website.
