I hope I do the same.<br>This comment bothered me both because I am close to the person who said it, and as you stated these days its overtly offensive<br>I understand that Judaism is difficult for many to understand as it's both a faith and a culture--- but all people have to do is ask questions. People love to explain.Piahttp://courtingdestiny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-16112815755978773292016-12-24T21:31:56.781-08:002016-12-24T21:31:56.781-08:00Yes it does...most people are not mean or unkind. ...Yes it does...most people are not mean or unkind.

If they are, the kind thing to do is apologize, try to understand the reason they find something offensive, and try not to say it again. On the other hand, I also think that most of us could also be more forgiving and understand that many (most?) slights are not made with malice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-12335731009249990762016-12-24T04:33:13.796-08:002016-12-24T04:33:13.796-08:00Oh what an enlightening thought to start out my ho...Oh what an enlightening thought to start out my holiday weekend with Barb.
