Thanks for your wisdom 🙂
1. “The fact that our kesher with Hashem is important does not mean that halacha is not important and should not be used as an excuse to criticize people who feel that their Avodas Hashem involves being makpid in halacha (and maybe even engaging in chumras on occasion). “
lilmod ulelamaid: Yea those rabbis helped me shift my focus towards Hashem, which was a refreshing approach.
2. “I know that you don’t do that, but there are those that do. “
lilmod ulelamaid: I know 🙁 But the weird thing is that why is it okay for kiruv professionals to criticize people who aren’t observing Torah? I know that the whole Torah is Truth thing means that a Jew who isn’t observing Torah is not living properly. Yet it’s kind of judgey imho.
