Reply To: scary "off the derech" – need help

How did my asking for help and guidance become a Jew bashing opportunity? This has the guise of being a religious/philosophical debate, but has turned into something else. Is this what was meant by lots of learning but Sinas chinam underneath it all that destroyed the bais hamikdash?

I didn’t ask if you thought this man, this person, this human being with the same Tzelem Elokim mimaal was worth spending the time on. Every yid, frum or not frum, is. Whether I can be successful or have the tools or ability is another issue. C’v, if someone you loved went off the derech, or was drifting further, would you not want any help you could get? And if you were too ignorant to know that he needed help would you not want someone with greater vision than you to help?? I didn’t ask if I should help, I asked how I could help. Derech eretz kadma letorah.
