Oh, I remember my kiruv krovim speeches in HS… I left five minutes in as I found some of what the speaker was saying and particularly how he was saying it breathtakingly offensive to the people to whom he was speaking. I told my principals I was never going back to one of those speeches. When I told them why, not one of them could argue with me. It didn’t stop them from hiring the speaker back, though.
I honestly don’t think I missed anything, even if I had liked the speaker. I find it difficult to be like R Meir and Acher and eat the fruit and throw away the peel, but somehow I don’t think it would have helped/have been necessary in this case.
