I posted about this quite a while ago about a classmate and fellow actor who would always write this and it made me uncomfortable. I got a lot of advice, so thank you all for that. I was considering talking to our theatre teacher and asking her to tell the class that some people were uncomfortable with the religious messages without calling him out specifically. However, my rabbi said that that might not be a great idea because it could contribute to the whole christian persecution complex thing, and that I should learn to navigate some uncomfortable situations as a Jew. So I talked to him individually. I told him that I appreciate him trying to be kind, but that it conflicts with my own religious beliefs so I would appreciate it if he stops writing religious messages and either just sign his name or give secular positivity. So today when he signed my yearbook, it said “You’re an amazing actor and you are very kind. I’m glad you keep fighting for what you believe in!”
This was not as scary as I thought it would be. He didn’t get mad at me or question me or try to convert me or anything, he just said okay and respected my wishes
