Reply To: Going off the Derech

zahvasdad-my older son knows the whole thing, it was his chevra that pulled my son away from this man’s wrath!! Anyway, the Rav didn’t say he was a Talmid Chacham, but it does seem to be how most people view him. The Rav was actually appalled by this man’s behavior, and didn’t defend him in the least. He even offered to meet with my son in order to show empathy, restore his emunah, and voice his disapproval over this man’s behavior
