Maybe u r taking this as a personal rejection , have u been witnessing to him ? And he's rejected your witnessing and chosen a different religion in spite of your efforts . Also he's moved away from u to another city . I can c why u would take this as a personal rejection .
In case u didn't know , it takes a lot of hard work to convert to Judaism and if your friend isn't really serious about it , he won't get very far through the process .

Just to let u and all others who r not from the UK know : there is no such thing as a ' british ' accent . It drives me crazy when I c people ( mostly Americans ) on TV , talking about a british accent . Britain isn't a country , it's made up of 4 countries , England , Northern Ireland , Scotland and Wales . These four r very distinct in their customs and culture and in their accents . If u asked a Scottish person where do they come from , they would not say britain or the UK or anything like that , they would say Scotland , same goes for the Irish and Welsh . They would state their own particular country , not britain . Within each of these countries is their own very distinct accent and then , in each of these countries , if u go a distance of about 15 miles in any direction , the accent is completely different and occasionally incomprehensible , even to a native of that same country . Here endeth the lesson 😁 .

Who said anything about British? I mean... This is a text based medium, and "T'is" could possibly have been British, but I thought all those used together would make it very clear I was going for Irish.

First time in my life I've ever heard that. It seems to be pretty common here that British = English.
Cool bit of info.
Similar to oriental is not to be a racial term, but rather a descriptive term of the style used.
Such as oriental rug is correct.
Oriental person is incorrect.

A very dear friend who I wish to see on the other side of the veil was from Boness, Scotland, that was when I learned of the friction between Scot and English. Wonderful history to learn.

Don't even get me started on accent misappropriation. As a southern boy, in a world where TV and movies use such a horrible approximation of a Southern accent... I reckon I have a right to use any doggone accent mishmash whenever I flipping well want to.

Converting to Judaism is much better than being an atheist; if anything, it will get him reading the Old Testament, and that's good.

I enjoyed studying some of the accents 7th-12th grades British and other languages. My first class started with My Fair Lady, a classic example of Cockney.

The funniest IMHO was in the stereotype Cop comedy Hot Fuzz, given to me by a cop in the family.
Some British accents need 2 translators.
