“Did you mention names or were the names of the particular rabbis understood by those hearing your comment?”

The ones who I was less enthusiastic about?

No not at all. I was thinking back about a number of rabbis and not for everything but in some ways.

I said no names. He does not know of the rabbis that I was talking about or what other shuls I could possibly be referring to.

I did not even have one specific one in mind, but more of a general vibe and meant that recently I found a shul that was different for me in a big way (though honestly all the other rabbis were super good to me and went out of their way to do so much and bless me — and of course I still daven for them and their families with gratitude).

The point was that I was super enthusiastic about this shul and was implying that he would have a fun experience if he went there for Purim (he asked me if I knew of any Purim parties, and I said no not really but yes at the shul that I started going to recently).

The last time I talked to him, we spoke about Judaism and it sounded like while he attended his shul sometimes, he was turned off by the classes (told me that specifically that he didn’t go back after one lesson).

So my intention was that he may really enjoy himself at this shul with this rabbi who was/is a lot of fun.
