Treat each day as if it’s your last. One day you’ll be right!
People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care!
Sam2 – One is not permitted to hate another Jew in his heart. One is REQUIRED to rebuke a person who hurts his feelings. I am not recommending that he go behind her back. Rather, he should encourage her to bring up the issue.
If she feels uncomfortable with your Rabbi, she will have a hard time respecting his opinions, especially when they are contrary to hers. Disagreements in marriage can come up often, so it is important to choose a Rabbi that you BOTH feel comfortable with and respect.
It is wise to either judge the Rabbi favorably (perhaps his intentions were not as she percieved it) or have the Rabbi apologize for hurting her feelings.
If you were frying Kibbeh, then you may have an issue with ‘Tataah Gavar’, not with ‘Tasaah Gavar’!
A Rebbe and his followers went out to recite Tashlich by the waters. As soon as the Rebbe began throwing his sins in to the water, his followers began to push each other to try and grab some of his holy sins. The Gabbai shouted, ‘There is no need to push, there is enough for everyone’!
There were three old ladies sitting on a park bench. One said ‘It is so windy out here’. The second one replied, ‘It is not Wednesday, it is Thursday’. To which the third replied, ‘Yes, I am also thirsty’!
I would suggest reading ‘Gateway to Happiness’ by R’ Zelig Pliskin on Friendships.
There is no OBLIGATION to hear Kaddish. Nor is there an obligation for an individual to hear the Torah reading. There are Poskim who hold that praying with a minyan is not obligatory either. We may not follow those opinions but it helps to keep them in mind to enable you to be more patient and understanding. I would not rebuke him. That is the role of his Rav or Rosh Kollel. What you can do is clarify why it really pains you and share your feelings with him.
