Rebuke

Hi,

"How do we know that one who sees his friend act improperly should rebuke him? It is written, ‘Rebuke your friend.’

"If he rebuked him and it was not received, how do we know that he should rebuke him again? It is written [a second time], ‘You shall rebuke’ – in any case.

"Should he do it until his friend’s face changes color [in shame]? No; it is written, ‘And do not bear sin for him.’"

(Talmud, Erchin 16b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
