Sorry,
you view it as shul giving an honor, assigning her to teach without asking.
A married professional with a J.D. and L.L.M sees it as they were trying to get something for nothing. They hired the husband at a salary for his services. They did not contract for her services.
These were not classes on Shabbos or Yuntif, or at night, but smack in the middle of the business day.
Before publishing and distributing the schedule, the shul should have asked her if she was willing and available to teach. For too long, shuls think the Rabbi’s wife is unpaid help, a bonus to his salary.
