FAMILIAR FRIENDSHIPS

[62a top] R’ Dimi bar Shishna quoting Rav: One may not hoe together with an idolater on Sheviis (7th year) nor may one give a double greeting of “Shalom” to an idolater at any time.

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: Although we must be nice and peaceful to our fellow non-Jews, we must make sure not to become too overly familiar, too comfortable, or too friendly with others. We have to keep our Torah values strong and not let outside influences to seep into our Holy people and places.
