Reply To: from otd to back on, ask away

GOLFER- sorry for skipping your post earlier, and i choose to not pay attention to negativity, and am sorry if i had something to do with bringing out negativity from others. as to your post earlier, most of what you asked has already been clarified,(i grew up “modern” with little understanding of Judaism, and did not leave out of disgust or rebellion)

– when i am dealing with teens or young adults who are in similar situations that i was in i just try to show them naturally the beauty of their heritage. i do NOT judge or try to convince them to “repent” and become religious, kids pick up on your agenda so quickly and then you are locked out and can have no affect anymore. the most importat thing is never to judge and to always try to relate. i know that if i can do that, than by osmosis i can usually have some type of impact, usually positive.

i hope i am being helpful
