I still feel it isn’t right to evangelize among Jews-—unless the Jewish person wants to convert.

It is "right?" Do you mean that it is immoral? Impolite? Unseemly? Intrusive?

Just why should Jews have an immunity from the outreach of the Christian Church? Does the Christian church enjoy immunity from agitation against it by secular Jews? Why should not Jews be subject to the same rubs and chafes of the world as everybody else?

And, if the Jewish person wishes to convert, then should Jews of the same brand just turn their backs, or what?

You are aware are you not (both of you) that way back in the 1800s the fellows who founded Reform Judaism in America spent so much time at the task they ended up losing their families to the Lutherans, Methodists and other Protestant groups.

Just one of the ironies of proselytizing among the Orthodox I guess.

You guys did know about that didn't you?

Christians who want to talk about Jesus may do so. People who don't want to hear may ask them to switch to a different subject.

How would a Jewish person know if he wished to convert if he never heard about Christianity?
