authorities and those comments are characterized as Lashon Hara since ,ןייטש א"רהמ םשב ב"קס ך"שב ט"י ןמיסב מ"חב
ultimately Rebbe Shimon Bar Yochai turned him into a pile of bones. The
th
Kesef Mishneh alludes to this proof (in that reference at the end of the 4 ןיד דמלש ג"מסה לע ןייטש א"רהמ ירואיבב ןייעו
halacha). Another proof comes from the mishnah in Gemara Sanhedrin .ל"נה ק"בד ארמגמ הז
(29a) “Where is the source that teaches when a judge comes out of court
after rendering a decision he may not say - I found in favor of so-and-so ותנווכ םא וליפאד .ירקימ תוליכר ה"פא )ב(
but my colleagues found against him.” The implication of that unqualified
mishnah is that it is forbidden to say this even to someone else because that כ"ג יאכזה בייחתנש תמאה לע אנקל קר וירבדב
remark might get back to the loser of the court case. תועטל בורק יכ ,)ל"נה ק"בד ארמגמ היארו( רוסא

not to reveal the comments to his son, the comments are absolute gossip ךלי קר ,ןודינה ינפל הז רמול ןיא כ"ג ,ןידה רזוחש
since with certainty his immediate response will be to form a negative
impression about Plony because it is well-known that a father will hate ילוא הז ןינעב הלחתמ םהמע רבדיו ןיד-תיבה לצא
anyone who criticizes his son in any way (as is brought down [in Yalkut ט"י ןמיסב םינורחאה ירבדב ראובמ ןכ ,ןידה ורזחי
Shimoni- Yeshayahu, paragraph #406] smash the mouth of anyone who

telling a son what was said about his father or his mother and is derived
from the Sifri, perashat Reh’eh (commenting on the pasuk in Devarim
13:7) “If your brother comes to entice you.” “Your fellow Jew who is like םייחה רוקמ
your own soul”- is a reference to your father, as Rashi comments on that
