reuventree555: What DY and LU said.

The rabbi is still being authentic.

Think about a professor who passes out a syllabus on the first day of classes.

It says that:

-There is no leniency on tardiness and u excused absences.

-Five tardies equals one unexcused absence.

-Five unexcused absences is an automatic fail.

Surely there have been some exceptional circumstances where a student broke these rules by coming late to class. However the student still passed the class.

Whether it was arranging something with the teacher before the semester or explaining emergency circumstances, and making up the time and classwork in another way, the professor found a way to accommodate the student’s needs.

The professor also still implemented these rules as stated with the general student body.

… It’s just so weird that I never thought of these books in such a way until now. Maybe that means that I am starting to be more critical of the information and recognize that there are variations that make living Torah a personal relationship with Hashem.

Thank you
