5 Nissan (Pesach)

Why is the answer to the Rasha's question to smash him in the teeth and tell him you would have no part in the redemtion? All that that would do is completely make sure that he will never ever do Teshuva (according to the opinions that it's literal). What we should do is sit down with him and slowly and lovingly show him he's wrong. We've seen time and time again that that works. Hitting someone in the face has never been Mekarev anyone!
