    The only obstruction in one's spiritual life is the mind, that is thoughts, once one realize that thoughts are the greatest obstacle, then he'll definitely walk on the spiritual path...everything comes from own experience....sometimes one has to suffer to realize what is good.........one has to suffer to be close to God......

    I try to do my best to explain, including the explanation that Judaism doesn't automatically see members of other religions as sinners. As a matter of fact, there are laws within the Tora (mostly moral laws) that are required of Gentiles. Maimonides discusses these laws in his section about the laws of kings.

    Try to teach them. Try to clear up the misconceptions that they have about your faith.

    Remember that to ask for understanding is to be dependent on the other for their approval. Not necessary and won't help you any.

    Bless them and move on. We do not have to be liked or accepted by everyone. We do need to be kind and compassionate to all and pray.
