In our discussion above of the esur of Lashon Hara, in the 10 Kelal, we .הז ידֵי

explained the circumstances which would permit one to speak Lashon Hara
against someone who was behaving inappropriately in an interpersonal .לולא ב"י ,רייא 'ב ,תבט ב"כ - תרבועמ הנש .לולא ג"י ,רייא ג"י ,תבט ג"י - הטושפ הנש :ימוי חול

(Please see that reference). In this Kelal we will explain the circumstances םִא ןיבּ ,תוּליִכרְ רוּסִּאבּ קוּלִּח םוּשׁ ןיאדּ ,דוֹע עדַו .ג

Before I begin this subject I would like to place before the reader an
ַ
ְ
important rule that is essential to this entire discussion. Understand an .תוּליִכרְ ללכִּמ
th
essential rule clearly from the writings of the Rambam in the 7 perek of
Hilchot De’Aut (the 5 halacha), quoted as follows: “If someone conveyed
th
information to his fellow Jew, any remarks at all that if they became known
would cause physical harm to the “victim” or cause a financial loss to him םייח םימ ראב
or cause him anguish, sorrow or to become afraid, is Lashon Hara.” It is
apparent that this law of Lashon Hara is unlike other laws that apply to המ ,רחאל וליפא רפסל רוסאד םגה .ןבואר תשאל )ג(
financial damages (losses), where the Torah absolves a person from being ךרבחד ,ינולפל ז"יע עדווי ןפ ,ינולפ לע רביד ינולפש
responsible if he was an indirect cause that eventually resulted in a loss.
Those laws are very different than this Lav of Lashon Hara where this אקפנ םוקמ לכמ ,ג"ס 'ג ללכב ל"נכו היל תיא ארבח 9
person would immediately be held culpable (even before the onset of any
