MY DUTY AS A JEW ( part two )

THE FIRST PASSAGE IN THE SHULCHAN ARUCH SAYS, " ONE SHOULD NOT BE EMBARRASSED BY PEOPLE WHO LAUGH AT YOU ".
UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HIDE THEIR JEWISH IDENTITY AND THE FACT THAT THEY KEEP THE TORAH.
A PERSON MUST DISPLAY HIS JUDAISM WHEN HE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD, IF NOT HE IS ROBBING JUDAISM OF ITS LEGITIMACY.
THEY CLAIM THAT BY DRAWING CLOSER AND ACTING LIKE THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD, WE WOULD NOT BE HATED ANYMORE.
 IT SOUNDS LIKE GOOD LOGIC. THAT VERY COUNTRY WHERE THEY KOWTOWED TO THE GENTILES ULTIMATELY DECREED DEATH ON ANYONE WITH JEWISH BLOOD.
THEIR MISGUIDED WAYS STEMMED FROM A LACK OF EMUNAH IN HASHEM.
IN ERETZ YISRAEL ONE CAN SEE THE ROTTEN FRUITS THAT ARE EMERGING FROM THE SECULAR EDUCATION.
CHAZAL TEACH US THAT TZADDIKIM HAVE CONTROL OVER THEIR HEARTS( desires) RESHA'IM ARE AT THE MERCY OF THEIR HEARTS (desires).
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN LOVES US BOUNDLESSLY AND WANTS US TO GO OUT AND TEACH THE JEWISH WORLD TO KEEP THE TORAH AT ALL COSTS.
 USE THE MEDIA TO SPREAD THE TORAH WORD.
THE JEWISH SOULS LOST TO ASSIMILATION ARE A THIRD HOLOCAUST MANY JEWS SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY ARE JEWS.
IT IS VITAL TO ENSURE THAT EVERY JEW SHOULD AT LEAST KNOW THAT HE IS A JEW.
A FEW YEARS AGO THERE WERE STUDENTS LIVING NEXT DOOR TO US.
THEY WERE FROM AUSTRALIA SOME OF THEM HAD NEVER SEEN A JEW SPECIALLY WITH CHASIDISH GARB. 
THEY STARTED TALKING WITH MY WIFE AND MYSELF.
 THEY WERE SO INTERESTED IN YIDDISHKEIT.
I ASKED THEM WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED  ? THEY SAID THAT THEIR GRANDMOTHER ( THEIR MOTHERS  MOTHER WAS JEWISH  ).
I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT IF YOUR MOTHER IS JEWISH SO ARE YOU.
 I ALSO TOLD THEM TO GO ON THE INTERNET AND LOOK AT THE ORTHODOX JEWISH SIGHTS WHICH EXPLAINS YIDDISHKEIT.

MAY HE REDEEM US SOON AND GATHER IN OUR DISPERSED FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH

Mr Lock, ignore the detractors here. Your message is a glass of water in a desert. I never knew that London Jews could be so similar to a tiny town like Leeds etc, curtain twitching but not so timid when it comes to gobbing off if a teacher speaks. Ignore them, but your message is the freshest air I've heard in a long long time, and paradoxically it was from very old men that time. Ignore the detractors here. If they don't like it they can head back to heedlessness. Thank you Gaby Lock.
