Reply To: Going off the Derech

S1/Ultimateskier-I’m not sure he really wanted us to know it bc it came about in a round about way (and maybe it’s not even true??). At the Shabbos table, he started to hit a younger brother. When asked why he was hitting him, he said it was bc he dropped challah crumbs in the salad. So I said, why should he get hit for that? He said, bc he deserves it. So I said (I couldn’t resist), if that’s what he deserves for dropping challah crumbs into the salad, what must someone deserve if he is being mechalel Shabbos? That’s when he said he doesn’t mechalel Shabbos. He said that he decided on Rosh Hashanah he would try to stop. Ya think it was genuine?
