“What are you doing today?
BEN TZION TODRIN: We’re looking for Jewish people, doing mivtzoim. It’s translated as “outreach.” We ask men to put on tefillin or do another mitzvah, tzedakah. The women we give Shabbes candles.
How do you know if someone’s Jewish?
BTT: Most of the time I just ask everybody. ’Cause you never know. I mean, I’ve asked black people before, and they’ve been Jewish. I ask Asian people. I ask everybody.” more@NYmag

Shalom! I’m from Bangladesh, I am not a Muslim, I am a Humanist. Personally, I support Israel and I love Jewish people. Most Bangladeshis don’t know about Jewish people properly. Muslim priests wash general people’s brain for political reasons. I am Gay and my new boyfriend is Jewish. I love him and I love Jewish people. Jewish people are the most talented people in the World, I have ever seen. I want to go to Israel to visit. But our government is Anti-Jewish, sorry to say. So, I feel sad. Shalom!
