I'm #Jewish ok? I wasn't going to tweet this but....it's the sweet and sour I exist in. I met a very nice lady at the kosher grocery store who told me that they didn't have lulavim/etrogim but that her community was giving them to those who needed and told me where to go (1)
We went to the place, I had a kippa on and didn't sound out of place but the first thing was one of the boys with the adults (I'm not going to speculate why) ran off screaming in terror and while the adults present were direct and fairly cordial they did not respond to (2)
To me saying #ChagSameach or wishing them a gut Shabbos . I tried to say goodbye a second time and thank you but was ignored and kinda got weird looks.
Like. I didn't pull out my book or show my credentials or achievements. I was just a Jew inquiring about the arba minim. (3)

WHEN FELLOW JEWS SAY SHABBAT SHALOM, GUT SHABBOS AND CHAG SAMEACH AND GUT YONTIF, REPLY BACK AND SMILE. unless you're getting massive messianic etc vibes just do a mitzvah and greet another Jewish person in joy and solidarity. #BaselessLove
I'm really tired of the "yeah okay whatever u are or think u are" attitude...
I taught hundreds of kids over 15 years. I have given tzedakah, welcomed babies, buried the honorable dead, celebrated weddings and helped people amicably divorce. I say mayim achronim 5cryingoutloud

But
I didn't harbor any ill will.
I was the next thing they needed to work on to bring them closer to Hashem.
They were my challenge...to wish them only the best and as we left I wished them multiple blessings for helping people achieve a mitzvah.
Its the love points that count.
