MIDOT TOVOT II

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

I understand your feelings, but it is based on a more liberal American outlook. The Torah requires us to lash out at such people. It's not from anger, but from my respect for my religion, my God, and his Torah. If you had an opportunity to study the Talmud and the many other Seforim, you will see that certain things require a serious mouthful in response. You need to know when & where, but I think we take more than we give. A bit of our problem these days is taking that stand down liberal attitude. We don't determine right and wrong from our feelings. We have books for that. AA RABBI, MY MOTHER ALWAYS TAUGHT ME YOU CATCH MORE BEES WITH HONEY. I THINK IF YOU SPEAK WITH RESPECT AND LOVE FOR YOUR RELIGION, YOUR GOD AND YOUR TORAH PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW. ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I SPEAK TO MY CHILDREN HARSHLY, OR AS YOU SAY LASH OUT, THEY DON'T LISTEN TO ME, IT ONLY SENDS THEM THE OTHER WAY. IT'S TRUE I AM CERTAINLY NOT LEARNED, ESPECIALLY NOT ON YOUR LEVEL, BUT I FEEL THAT WE SHOULD DO WHATEVER WORKS TO GET PEOPLE TO LOVE AND RESPECT OUR RELIGION, OUR GOD AND OUR TORAH. THANK YOU FOR COVERSING WITH ME. HAG SAMEACH AND ESPECIALLY KASHER MICHELLE
