Practically Speaking

Practical Advice i would like to suggest a piece of practical advice for Rabbis as well. Rabbi Gutnick's father waited until the third time the Holocaust survivor came to greet him. If a Rabbi (or Rebbetzin) sees a new face in shul or someone who hasn't been there a while, not to wait but greet him or her the first time, if possible., and to greet those who have been there a while too and ask how they and their family are doing., And if a congregant hasn't come for a while, for the Rabbi to call the person at home, if possible,and ask how they are doing.
