Reply To: Is it ever appropiate to talk back to a Rebbi?

Thank you, catch yourself, for injecting a dose of reason and reality to the discussion. Your perspective rings true to me. Sure, I’ve seen a few rebbeim who have had an occasional lapse of judgement, but it’s the minority even for them, and they are the minority. The vast majority of my sons’ rebbeim over the years have been wonderful, and the rebbeim I’ve seen from other vantage points have also been dedicated and caring – the farthest thing from abusive.
