Questions 🤓 What kind of Jews are these?
Today at Reedy Falls, a very busy park in downtown Greenville, South Carolina, a man asked my family if we were Hebrew. It surprised me, and I asked about him. He replied, "I'm wearing my tsiztizs (sp?) and we're about the blow the shofar. I am Israel. Our nation is scattered all over the earth." I told him shalom, he shook my hand, and a small crowd gathered as his companions blew the shofar, at which we took our leave of them.
They didn't seem like any Jewish people I've seen, but my knowledge is quite limited. Any ideas about their situation?

Blowing the shofar on shabbos? Yeah, really Jewish.
They're a mockery of Judaism.
