Limmud Zchus!!

Social media is abuzz with the latest brouhaha. Nancy Pelosi publicly ripped up a copy of Donald Trump's speech that he handed her. Some feel that it was because her feelings were hurt after he snubbed her offer of a handshake [NEGIYAAAAAA!!!!!! What does she expect? Our Commander In Chief will not touch an Eishes Ish] and as the English playwright and poet William Congreve wrote in his play, The Mourning Bride, 1697: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". 

I prefer to be melamed zchus. Nancy is above that. She is koolo li-shem shomayim. She wouldn't react based merely on feelings. 

It was Yud Shvat, the day of the crowning of the "Nasi Ha-dor" in 1951. Trump, as Nasi of America, didn't mention this event. As a show of "Kavod Ha-nesius" [the TRUE Nasi, Nasi Ha-dor] Nancy ripped up the guilty speech.

YECHI!!! 😊
