Aish Follow-Up

More about the AISH Shabbat dinner (in response to Prof. Cohen)....

The point of the guy's speech was indeed to urge people to "live a Torah way of life," as he said, but I don't think his motive for telling the story undermines the actual events. The path he took was extreme, and obviously that's why Aish asked him to come speak. Of course, not every young, secular Jew looking for religion is going to become a Christian youth minister, but I think that his feelings as a child are valid and probably common.

Completely unrelated note--that's interesting that Aish is trying to convince people to become Orthodox 'cause the chocolate cake they served for dessert was totally from 2nd Ave. Deli (and yes, I've ordered it enough to know). Maybe it's all from one glatt kosher bakery....
