Simcha Cruz, CA — For the past two weeks, Yossi Berktin and Pinchas Taylor, a couple of young single Jewish men from Morristown, N.J., have been wandering the streets of Simcha Cruz County, searching for a connection, hoping to rekindle that old flame called heritage.“It's kind of like a blind date,” Berktin said of their methods, which involve stopping people on the street and sparking conversations with strangers about religion and urging fellow Jews to reconnect with faith and prepare for coming of the messiah.
“Making people aware that the world is building toward something,” Berktin said. “It's not just random. There's a goal or a purpose in the world.”
