He Looked Jewish
He is from Brazil, so he spoke Portuguese … and a little Spanish. He
surely looked Jewish, but when I asked him in Spanish if he was a Jew he
said that he was not a Jew… that he was catholic. It didn’t fit. When I
looked at his face I saw a sweet Jewish man.
I brought him over to Shlomo who speaks Portuguese and he checked it
out. Turns out that the guy is a Jew.
Shlomo helped him with tefillin and after he finished I had him
translate my briefest knockoff of xianity.
“Where s G-d?”
As almost all xians do, he answered, “In your heart.”
“G-d in not only in your heart, He is everywhere. G-d is Infinite. The
Infinite is everywhere. G-d is everywhere.”
He agreed.
“When they buried that Jew who they crucified 2000 years ago and went
to his grave on the 10th day, was he in the grave?”
“No. he went to heaven.”
“Well, if he is not in the grave then he is not everywhere. Don’t
worship him. Worship only the Father, the Infinite G-d Who is
everywhere.”
I assume that his parents escaped the holocaust, fled to Brazil and
converted to catholicism to hide their being Jewish.
Picking him out of the crowd at the Kotel was like picking up a stone,
brushing it off, finding out that it really was a diamond, but then having
to see it go back to where it has been for so many years.
But he heard what I told him... How much did it help? I don’t know.
But I do know that you cannot let a Jew who is entirely used to idolatry
walk away without giving the him the information that Hashem sent him to
you to learn.
