Rebshidduch: Your chessed is so strong and you want to help these guys because you see the GOOD in them that it is so difficult to see anything wrong with being a light.
You are way more skilled in this than myself, but I recognize it and am learning from you right here when you share and LU is telling you what not to do. I had family telling me at certain points to stay away.
However, I was also doing things on my own and didn’t talk about it with anyone, which had consequences. The whole time I thought I was doing a good thing.
It may even look like other people are wrong about you needing to stay away and you are helping this guy see light so he can come closer to Hashem.
At least that is how it looked to me.
Frankly I still find myself over stretching myself to mekarev.
And the more I learn about Torah, the more I want to share that beauty with someone else.
