It was obvious that he caught that I didn’t answer the question, and I feel terrible for my reaction. I know that I should have just lied and said yes and dealt with the consequences whenever they would arise in the future, but I wasn’t thinking on my feet and now I just feel really bad. He had no right to put me on the spot like that, but I still feel bad that he now knows how little I respect his halachic opinions and how little faith I have in his observance of halacha. I don’t know if I should say something in apology, or if I should just let it go, since he’s probably forgotten it at this point. One of the other kids in the room thinks that I should talk out my issues with him, but I don’t think that would be productive at all, since there’s nothing he could say that would make me think he keeps a home up to my standards of kashrus.
I’m sorry you have to deal with this situation. It sounds really challenging, and it’s a credit to you that you can stick to your standards in a less than accommodating environment.
I agree with Popa’s comment.
