The Reno Gazette Journal hosts Faith Forum on Sundays.  A question is answered by clergy from many faiths.  Rabbi Beyer provides the Jewish response. 
 
RGJ asked:  Would you "unfriend" someone because
of their religious views?   
 
 
Compassionate Constructive Critic

Most people can be friends even when they disagree as long as each person can be respectful. Friends nurture, help and support each other. Sometimes they even call out our bad behavior. If people are controlling or actively support beliefs that are violent or unethical, friendship is unwise.

According to our Sages, part of the responsibility of being a good friend is helping the friend move forward on their spiritual path. Friends polish each other up. As a friend, sometimes it's necessary to point out unethical, dishonest or unprofessional behavior.

Generally, if people are emotionally healthy, they can accept constructive criticism without becoming overly defensive or passive aggressive. It's important to have people who are willing to be truthful with us, even when the truth hurts. They compassionately show us what in our behavior needs fixing and where we have blind spots. Those rare folks are true and cherished friends.        
  
Faith Forum appears each Sunday in the Local Life Section of the Reno Gazette Journal. Faith Forum clergy answer a question posed each week and responses in the paper are limited to 150 words. Rabbi Beyer is featured as the "Jewish" response. In February 2016 it was 5 YEARS for Faith Forum column to run in the RGJ.  This interfaith group is now working towards a book which would be an edited collection of these columns.
