Dr. Dan:
I guess I'll be first to start this thread


Shalom Chaim

Imagine the following scenario:  You have an important event in your own home. Many respectful guests are there.  One, in particular, is a rabbi that you don't know so well and gets drunk.  He becomes unruly and starts turning off the guests, offending many of them.  Some try hard to calm him down, but he gets even more belligerent.  Some tell him, take a walk outside just to cool off..he gets angrier..doesn't pull any punches..but just continues to offend people left and right.  Even you try to exercise patience, and he refuses to listen to you.  He might be a rabbi, but at what point do you call the police..or do you even call the police?  Do you exercise patience even for the rabbi till he dizzies himself out and passes out?  Even if it means all the guests leave in disgust for your important banquet?  What's the Jewish answer to this and please explain when one should exercise patience for a fellow Jew who means well, but is out of his mind..and just happens to be a rabbi?  Or, should a rabbi be treated differently versus a regular Jew?

Thank you for everything you do.

Dear Chaim,

Have you had any contact with Debbie Schlussel? What are your thoughts? She seems to me to have done some great work.

Thank you once again and G-d bless,

Ben Yehuda

TruthSpreader:
Dear Chaim, what is your opinion on Jared Fogle who lost 245 pounds from the so-called Subway diet?

Hello Chaim,

I'm a little confused about Muslims being the descendants of Ishmael.
Who claims it, is it true and what is the evidence to back/disprove it?

Thanks as always,

If you became Prime Minister of Israel, would you have a Kahanist holocaust museum?  How would it differ from Yad Vashem?
