[quote=Anonymous]The thing that really jumps out at me is that the rabbi and his wife are verbally making ad hoc passive aggressive remarks to individual congregants regarding something that is really a broader policy issue. I think that is improper. IMO it's well within the reasonable rabbinical range of opinion to disapprove of certain styles or degrees of parties, but such opinions should be carefully considered, thoughtfully articulated, carefully qualified, and tactfully communicated. If a policy is established (e.g. maximum number of guests), same goes for the policy. The rabbi and his wife should not be making the issue personal by reacting grumpily to individual congregants' celebrations. Is this issue representative of the Rabbi's approach to other issues?[/quote]
