Some people are reluctant to reach out to others because they say that there is no benefit to only having a few minutes in which to dialogue with someone about Judaism. What value is a few minutes when there are so many influences in the other direction? Anyway, the conversations don't seem to have any effect.
The fact is that even if a person finds only a tiny bit of inspiration, it has a great effect on their soul. Such things can't be judged with the naked eye. Experience shows that even a short conversation can lead to a close relationship and to a person renewing his relationship with Judaism. It's like a small hole in the dike, as the water flows, the hole grows larger.
Also, when it comes to tasting Torah, quality counts for more than quantity. Just the exposure to Torah ideas, which sates the soul with a holy drink, without the person himself even being aware, will cause an impression that the soul won't forget.
