ujm: “The Torah makes quite clear (aside from the issue of Geirim) that we Yidden must keep our distance from the goyim”
agreed! but just as we have special mitzvos in how we relate to geirim (despite the fact that they are full-fledged Jews), perhaps one can argue that geirim have special circumstances in regards to their non jewish blood relatives!
In any case i fail to understand how this constant back and forth is going on so long! Each ger should seek daas Torah, finished! Why is it that that is the bottom line in every thread, but in this one just doesnt seem to do the trick??
Lets go back to the original posters point, if you want to talk about anything.
