[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to follow up for those who were curious. The rabbi said that it would be ok to call said student by name. Thanks for encouraging me to call. I feel better going into this with his blessing.

I've got to say, however, that I was really disgusted by all the negative and nasty comments. I don't think it was very nice to jump to conclusions about my character. I was simply trying to gain some perspective. Hopefully you'll think twice before slinging the nasty comments. Or not. Your choice. Thanks to those who showed empathy and gave my quandary some real thought. It was helpful to hear your comments. [/quote]

Thanks for writing back, OP. I'm not Jewish, but have many Jewish friends and know a bit about the culture and practices, so I was interested to hear what the rabbi said. I predicted that would be the answer. I've actually found one of the interesting/appealing things about Judaism is that while there are many rules and customs, there is also and long-standing tradition of exploration, questions, and debate when it comes to potentially challenging issues like this, and the attitude seems to be more in the vein of problem-solving rather than very black and white absolutism.
