Question:
Cvod Harav,
My brother has been hiding the toothpaste to prove that I haven’t been brushing my teeth at night. Basically today he came to my mom and said something like “I don’t know how he’s brushing his teeth if I’ve been hiding it.” And than I said “I have been brushing my teeth.” He than called me a liar, and than made a joke that “he just needs to think that g-d commanded him to do it and he’ll do it.”
Is that a chillul Hashem Rav?
Answer:
Hi,
It doesn’t seem to be a chillul Hashem rather simple sibling rivalry, with a touch of jealousy at your being religious. Have patients, and be nice to him and eventually he’ll come around.
Best wishes
