Question

i learned in school that rabbeim are allowed to demand kavod. is that true? the teacher gave an example: leaving the room without turning your back to the Rabbi, like we do at the kosel. thank you!

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

You do what at the Kosel? AKA Kotel, AKA Wailing Wall, AKA Western Wall. We step back three steps when we leave from before God, after prayers. People who are busy demanding excess respect, usually need a shot of humility. AA
