You wouldn’t be embarrassed to mention that your father is David Berkowitz (Son of Sam), if that were the case?
No. I had no part in the murders, why should I be embarrassed because of it?
You wouldn’t be proud to mention that your father is Rav Moshe Feinstein, if that were the case?
No, because I would have had no part in his accomplishments. I would be happy that he is my relative (much as I might be unhappy that Sam Berkowitz is). But shame and pride? No. I only feel shame and pride for things that I am responsible for or have a part in.
I don’t know why you’re finding this such a difficult concept to grasp.
