- Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu
Indeed, Rabbi Eliyahu called him over, rebuked him, and even raised his hand, giving him something between a slap and a caress. With his other hand, Rabbi Eliyahu presented him with a candy. "Take it and make a blessing."
"I have received more than a few reprimands and smacks in my life," the man said. "But I never received a rebuke that affected me like the one I'd gotten from Rabbi Eliyahu. He knew how to deliver a rebuke with such love and care; it touched the deepest, most inner parts of my being."
