Reply To: Being rigid

Sorry this sounds like I am prejudice and labeling frum Jews who are very makpid on their chumrot as being “rigid.”

The feedback that he’s heard has been that he’s rigid. It’s more than the details here though. At the same time, the rigidity is what it looks like when he’s more frum than his peers.

If he was in an environment that was as committed as he was to Yiddishkeit, he would likely feel like he belongs and may need to step up his life. At least that’s how it seems. Instead of having conversations on what he needs to relax on, maybe he can spend his time growing in Torah and attaining higher levels.
