Anger
From Halachipedia
- One should try to avoid anger as much as possible. [1]
- In circumstances where necessary to admonish one's children, one should try to outwardly give off the impression of being angry but not actually getting angry on the inside. [2]
- One should avoid yelling and screaming and banging on the table to prove one's point. However, one may show excitement and can become upset if he is doing so pure heartedly as an expression of love for truth. Anger or losing one's temper out of frustration of being disagreed with is forbidden. [3]
- One should avoid praying when angry. [4]
