ny100k – I assume that the Rabbi was merely making jest of the expression that is in the air this year and not using it in all seriousness. You could argue that jesting is not appropriate and make comment that in your opinion he should steer aware from such behavior. However, I sense in your comment a disdain and disrespect for this Rav. If I am correct you are way out of line!

Dovid HaMelach made a mistake with Bat Sheva. Non-the-less, Chazal look at him with the utmost esteem.

Shaul HaMelech sinned against Hashem and yet he also is viewed by Chazal with the upmost esteem.

Mistakes that people make do not give room to insult or denigrate them. I suggest you apologize for your rude behavior and explain what you real meant to say instead.

ny100k, chill out and have a latke. I sincerely hope you don’t judge anyone else by one word they say.

It is a shanda for a “Rabbi” to be calling this day “Thanksgivukah”. Chanuka is a holy day and bringing in this non Torah term would be inappropriate for anyone who has any daas torah.
