Glad they didn’t think that (spoiler alert)

After my husband converted to Judaism and we were married under the chuppah, I was hired to work at Jews for Judaism of Baltimore.  During my time there, I fielded phone calls from all sorts of people.  There is one phone call though, that stands out in my mind.

We had just done some advertising about a few local programs we were holding in preparation for a local campaign by Jews for Jesus and someone in the community felt he needed to call and voice his opinion.  The man informed me that we were wasting our time (and valuable resources) trying to keep Jewish people from converting to Christianity.  After all, he explained – the only Jewish people who convert to Christianity are those who are emotionally unstable or needy and, besides, who needs them anyway?  Judiasm, he argued, is better off without them.

“Well!” I huffed, “I sure am glad that the people involved in my return didn’t think that way!  They thought I was important enough to expend valuable time and resources helping me to understand Judaism and to answer my questions concerning Judaism’s answer to Christainity’s claims.”  I explained to him that I feel that I am a valuable and contributing member of Jewish society.

The man was left with nothing to say.  After hanging up, I thought to myself again, “boy I sure am glad they didn’t think that way about me!”
