What's a good way to confront people
without getting into into much trouble
when they're randomly making fun
of random people?
Uh well, let me know. That depends.
That depends what
uh what are they Who are they making fun
of? Who are they?
Sometimes the best thing to do is to
change the topic by uh
tell people you guys ever hear the story
of such and such? I always tell people
that they should learn
uh Sifrei Tzaddikim, the stories of
Tzaddikim, to always have one
that uh you're ready to tell. So, as
soon as there's a situation like this,
which uncomfortable situation,
you could just change the conversation
completely by saying, "Hey, did you ever
hear the story about uh the Baal Shem
Tov
with the with the horse?"
Oh, no. Okay. And start telling it. Even
though it has nothing to do with what
they were just saying. He was just busy
making fun of somebody because of their
weight, because of their financial
situation, because of whatever.
Tell them the story. Change the subject.
It's usually the easiest and best thing
to do.
