What do you think of somebody who comes to shul; just for the kiddush?

[ChabadKahanist]

There is an individual he comes into our shul only for the Kiddush.
I think may daven at another shul in the  neighborhood.
But what really gets me is before the gabbai or rav makes Kiddush he grabs something & eats it.
I think this tacky & a chutzpah on his part.

[Hrvatski Noahid]

I don't know. For Noahides going to shul is optional, but I don't go because there is no Orthodox synagogue where I live. Even if there were, I'm not sure how Jewish people would feel about my presence there.

Trust me, they’ll trip over themselves happy at a someone who isn’t Jewish that doesn’t hate them.

Tell him wait no? If he comes and follows the rules better than not coming. At least he makes a bra ha no?

Sure he makes a brocha but it is not nice when he is davening elsewhere & just coming for the kiddush

It depends on the congregation. Some Rabbis are comfortable with Noahides attending their synagogue services. Some are not.

My shul in America had a Gentile named  Merle who called himself chometz man & he davened with us every Shabbos & even donated a new stove to the shul

So I guess he's the one who bought the chametz every Erev Pesach.

He is.

I would try not to judge this person. Maybe he’s poor hungry and religious.

Or maybe he’s a freeloader.

He's a freeloader he is quite well off.
IMHO Even if he comes late he can at least daven with us
