Reply To: Working with Non Jews

To everyone: Thanks for the replies! All are appreciated, and noted.

@Oomis-One of the things I dont like about cybercommunication-especially when we are all strangers, is that the intention or expressions behind the words-and the person is missing.

I have no problem being a mentch 🙂 (If I can brag;) In the past, before I became more religious, I was very close to Non Jews, we would chat about personal things, we would get together purely socially, and we would have close friendships. However as I got more religious, I picked up on the fact that there are certain boundaries in our relationships to the Umot Haolam, and to be honest, I am not sure how “close” I am allowed to get to the Non Jews at work, especially when we are all (Jews +Non) are sitting around freely conversing. Halacha can be grey here I think, however I feel that I dont want to trangress by doing what I may not be allowed to in terms of closer relationships. Hence my OP.
