A Step Out

.
On Friday, before Sabbath (Shabbat) I took a quick trip to town to buy some new shoes. My but there was an increased amount of Asian Jews that I saw. That was a pleasant surprise.

I wonder if they speak English???

This reminds me of when I was a kid, I would eagerly await these J Witnesses to come to my house to give their magazines and books. I enjoyed looking at the pictures of such multiculturalism, so much diversity. Little did I know that they were just as eager to see me!

(As a matter of fact,it was only after I grew up a bit more that I realized how pushy one of them was. How my mom had to do all she could to ward them off.)

I only wanted those pictures, not the message. Anyway, they eventually got the message and stopped coming. But wouldn't it be nice if all religions had a healthy diversity -not just because they want to have diversity, but just because those who feel called to one particular way goes that way and those who feel pulled to a different way goes that other way. No pressure, no threat, no proselytizing.
