re: #225 Anymouse š¹
I havenāt met many Jews in person outside the military, but I donāt recall any of them coming to my house on Friday before Shabbat pounding on my door asking me to convert, or threatening me with eternal hell if I donāt (regardless of how āhellā is defined).
Pretty sure the last ones you met bought you dinner and enjoyed a pleasant evening of conversationā¦ :)
(And would do it again next time your travels bring you this way.)
