Reply To: The requirement for everyone to give Tochachah

WolfishMusings,

No one listens to me anyway.

If that were true, you shouldn’t give tochacha. But you are underrating yourself.

I don’t hold myself to be better than anyone that I’m worthy to give Tochacah.

You’re obligated to give tochacha even if you think yourself less worthy than the wrongdoer. (Given the aforementioned conditions.)

Obviously this is discussing where you’re sure the action(s) was an aveira. And you’re doing it for the right reasons, i.e. to correct the wrongdoer out of your love for your fellow Jew. In the absence of those conditions and intentions, one shouldn’t be giving tochacha.
