#realtalkwithyou: I got into it today with someone about whether a Jewish politician's observance or stance on Israel makes them a "bad" Jew.
tldr, Torah-educated Jews giving secular people a hard time should consider the multiple examples in the Talmud, mainstream and whacky, of people who were not just lax about Judaism but deep into some very not-kosher stuff and it is clear that their repentance was accepted.
If you want to say that someone "is not a Jew" bc they don't keep this or that-- hello, you are talking smack about another Jew and don't tell me it's letoelet.

It doesn't make you less a Jew that you're doing it; it makes you an imperfect human being, just like the rest of us.
My point isn't that we should treat people nicely bc maybe they'll repent one day and won't you feel like an *** then. My point is that we are all at different stages of imperfection and personal journeys of redemption, and you can believe what you believe and give ppl mussar,
but consider whether your frustration with other people's shortcomings, perceived or real, is bringing out the best in you.
