"OTOH do 2 rudes make a right?" He asked rhetorically. It seems Shim'on COULD have shushed in a kinder fashion the first time, and saved his rudeness ONLY for the case of repeat offenders. Thus he might have done the "right" thing but did it the "wrong" way."<br /><br />Isn't a win-win approach better?<br />What if Shim'on gently shushed or simply turned to them with a finger over his lips? or Whisper please be quiet? And only got bent out of shape if they refused to comply?Rabbi R Wolpoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363979745921237363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314914268727443114.post-36247074267495832962010-05-28T16:30:39.563-04:002010-05-28T16:30:39.563-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Rabbi Richard Wolpoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06757294561837786107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314914268727443114.post-2564146871909415602010-05-25T16:32:08.184-04:002010-05-25T16:32:08.184-04:00As my great Rabbis have said:
Instead of David st...As my great Rabbis have said:<br /><br />Instead of David stepping into a shul, let's have him stepping into a movie theatre where the movie has already started. The problem is we don't see G-d and we don't see the beauty of our prayers and so instead of just coming in and quietly sitting down we see our friend Yonaton and make a big production out of it much to the angst of Shimon who's sitting nearby. Some of us are really connecting or want to connect when we're in shul and so I have to agree with Shimon who feels the Chilul Hashem when people are speaking in shul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
