Rabbis and Their Families
Question
What is the Rabbi’s opinion about rabbis who outwardly appear wise, great, and highly respected, and then it turns out that within the family there are serious problems, their behavior is inappropriate, or they are simply harsh toward the children, for example?
Answer
There is no connection between behavior and wisdom. Each one should be judged separately.
Beyond that, it is not right to judge a person until all sides have been heard.
