> WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PREPARE FOR ANOTHER DAY

Kidushin ~ 30 says that it is a mitzva to teach a kid profession or business so that he will not become a bandit. Would this not betray a lack of emunah?! this actually may bring some light to the thread of proselytizing …

I once was approached by a guy like that in the course of doing business. I quoted him that what do you do when you see people on the road marching to Yerushalaim in the middle of plowing season… They say they are going to greet Moschiach.. So – you finish plowing and then go (in that order). The guy accepted that and got back to work. So, maybe they see a group of people who spend their merits in hope of Hashem solving them from sakanot and parnasa, so they think they can lure some..
