R Micha, I am sorry but I believe you are mistaken in saying - Lehalakhah (MB 608:9) it is prohibited to offer tokhachah more than once. That Halacha is limited to giving PUBLIC Tochacha This is clear in the Rama [608:2] And MBerrurah [608:8] ? where he clearly declares one is obligated to offer Tochacha […]
Rabbi Ari Kahn cites two Gemaras in which Rabbi Akiva himself criticizes a chacham for lack of sufficient respect for another chacham, and the deathly consequence Rabbi Akiva attributed to such behavior. (My translations.) *Nedarim 40a* ? one of Rabbi Akiva's disciples fell sick, but Sages did not visit him. Rabbi Akiva entered [his house] […]
