I’m just curious, are you Jewish? I was wondering because you said “Blessing.” I think I’ve seen Jewish friends omit the name of the L-rd (I wrote it like that just in case), and I was wondering if you are Jewish, because if so, maybe you can help me know how to bless someone in a way that doesn’t make our Jewish Freepers uncomfortable. If so, please help. Maybe just saying what you did is acceptable?
If you’re not Jewish, this e-mail, while verbose, might be kinda pointless.
Thanks so much,
David
Oops, that was supposed to be a PM. Well everyone, there it is!

I am a Christian, but I have run into some truly wonderful, remarkable Jewish Freepers. I will ping a couple of them, and see if either of them has the time and inclination to comment.
My personal experience/observation is that our Jewish Freeper brothers and sisters are very accepting of us and our manner of speaking and of blessing. But it would be better to get it from a more firsthand source, if possible.
