havesomeseichel: im not talking about pple are are off the derech- because that depends on individuals. I personally dont know if I would want to speak to such a person just for the reason that I might say the wrong thing which will turn them off furthur. I was talking about about frum good jews who are not yeshivish.
This is not to say that we should not be friendly with pple who are off the derech. I did speak to many of them already and of courseI was very friendly to them. But I do try to keep away in a smart way. Not that I should sound snobby or anything like that, but I’m scared of saying the wrong thing to them, and Bichlal- I do not want to get influenced negatively.
