Misguided ‘Zealots’ harass patrons in Norwood
J L Lowenstein
He is not liking the aggressive, heavy-handed proselytising he’s experiencing. As far as I am aware, there is little history of evangelism in Jewish literature.
Religion, culture or ritual should not be foisted on another. This unnecessary zealotry is creating disharmony and ill-will in those who normally are quite accepting of other traditions.
We are a people who should be spreading light, an atmosphere of caring and a display of exemplary behaviour.
To those responsible for such pursuits: Kindly refrain and desist from unbecoming acts which only serve to alienate and antagonise.
Religion is a personal matter and any religious demand imposed on others is entirely unacceptable.

I want these words framed. Well said. I could not agree more. No man or woman can tell you what your relationship is with G-d only you can.’
