Be’er Mayim Chayim .וֹתוּנרְָתּובּ וֹנוֹממ תא רזִּפּ
(RK8/2/1)-(2)..and by doing so: We can also learn this concept from
what was brought down in the first part of this sefer in the 9 Kelal (in
th
st
the 1 halacha), that it is forbidden to praise someone if it will result in םייח םימ ראב
someone else degrading him, and this concept is automatically extended
to any type of harm that may come to the person who was praised, as ליעל אתיאד הממ דמלנ הז םג .'וכו ז"יעש םוקמב )ב(
is brought down in Gemara Arachin (16a) “one should not praise the ז"יעש םוקמב דחא חבשל רוסאש ]א"ס 'ט ללכ א"חב[
goodness of his fellow Jew because in praising him it can evolve into
something bad” and this statement of the gemara is inclusive of all of the ,הער ראשל ןידה אוה אליממו ,ותונגב ורפסיש םרוג
bad (that can happen to him). And that which we wrote in the context of לש ותבוטב םדא רפסי לא אתיא )ז"ט( ןיכרע ארמגבד
“giving charity” is specifically in the context of giving a large sum (and
similarly in extending a large loan or paying a high salary, each according .ללכב תוער לכו ,ותער ידיל אב ותבוט ךותמש וריבח
to its circumstance), that because of the comment this man’s partner would הבורמ הנתמ איה םא אקוד ,הקדצה תניתנב ונבתכש המו
become very demanding of him.
