far be it from me to disparage any kind of evangelism. but i have notice that in some circles, 'lifestyle' or 'friendship evangelism' has become a euphemism for, 'be nice and don't mention Jesus until they ask'. now don't get me wrong, i believe that christians ought to love and demonstrate respect for jewish people and everyone else. it's the waiting until people ask part that bothers me. frankly, if people had waited for me to ask about Jesus, i would not have heard the gospel. most jews don't bring up that subject to christians; it is too sensitive.
let us approach this subject positively by asking, 'how soon after meeting jewish people (or anyone else) should one mention Jesus?" the answer is simple: it depends on how important Jesus is to you.
