distinctions: the importance made clear

many times of late i come in contact with christians asking me the differance in what is written in the Torah and the book they call the old testament .
Again and again these people come or are sent to me to ask queastions .

I don`t mind most times ,but when i`m busy it can be annoying .

Many i see a light come on in thier eyes
after the explaination .
Or a nod of the head.
sometimes a AH HA and a nod of satisfied curiousity.
i do this to keep the lines of comunication and good will between us open .
That is why i m glad to see you audio moments .
it teaches me ,so i am better able too communicate to my gentile nieghbours .
Also my work mates.

Toddah Rabbah
