Hyman, a Reform Jew from Germany moved to Vilna. He was רע לבריות ורע למקום. Ultimately, he became a מומר. Once, a member of the קהילה saw him on the street and said שלום מר המן. The מומר got angry and said: “My name is הימן not המן.” The קהילה member responded: “You are mistaken. When the ׳יוד׳ is missing, it’s pronounced המן.”
