ZD you are right about proselytizing. That’s not what I had in mind. I have been around many non-Frum Jews long ago in school, now at work. I knew that people at work were very wary of the presence of a chareidi among them, because they thought I would want to forcibly “covert” them. But I also got many questions over the years, which I tried to answer and although no one became frum, at least I hope that I decreased the negative anti-Torah attitudes that they had before they met me. One story always makes me feel good. I was once trying to find a place to go for shabbos, it was Thursday and had run out of my usual options. In the end one of my regulars set me up by her married kids, who I didn’t really know. My co-workers, when hearing the details, were floored that someone would agree to host a stranger, and that I considered it perfectly normal. So that was a kiddush Hashem! Still, I always wished that I could have done more.
