    A History of the Emeser Movement

    The Emeser Movement (Torah Students) believe that Pastor Charles Taze Russell's teachings represent many of their own beliefs. Of course, there are Christian views Pastor Russell expressed in his ministry that we may do not necessarily agree with. We are not interested in converting Christians over to "our" Faith. However, our main interest is in developing within in our own body of members a class that is faithful to the True Torah and all that the Torah commands.

    We are not interested in converting Christians over to "our" Faith.

    If their “Faith” is so important and true, then why aren’t they interested in others being converted over to it? Undoubtedly that explains the reason few people have ever even heard of their “Faith”.

    In 1956, Rabbi Avraham Kohn, then 77 years of age, with some of his associates moved to the United States and purchased much land, which later became known as the Kohn Estates. … There are more than fifty different languages represented on the Kohn Estates.
    One wonders where all such land is located in the United States?

    Daniel 11:35 ... a KEY prophecy that must be fulfilled before the "time of the end" gets underway.

    On February 2, 1996 at the age of 118, Rav Avraham Kohn died and was succeeded by Menachem Kohn. Br. Menachem succumbed to a fatal heart ailment in 1999 and was succeeded by Rav Israel ben Shefan Kohn. Shefan Kohn resigned in 2001 and Rav Alfred Kohn was elected in his place.

    Wow! That's 38 years over the 80 mark. This guy must've ate a lot of spinach and pinto beans.
