Italian Wedding Part 2
Question
Dear Rabbi Abadi, Last week I wrote to you about a dilemma I had with respect to kissing the bride and her mother at my Italian boss' daughter's wedding. You suggested that I take the boss aside before the wedding and 'explain things' to him. Well, on the weekend, at the company sponsored picnic, while while boss was nicely liquored up with wine, I decided to follow your advise. I took the boss aside and nicely explain to him that my religion doesn't permit me to kiss the bride (but I was still very honored to be part of the wedding party). The boss got very mad at me and suggested that if I valued my job I would not insult him and disrespect him by refusing his request. He said "think it over, and by Friday I want your answer .. it's either "yes" or it's a letter of resignation on my desk." Rabbi Abadai, I can't afford to lose my job. What should I do?
