RK9/ 3. Everything that we have said applies only if Reuven
recognizes Shimon’s personality, that if he tells him he was cheated, הלווע השוע אוה יאדוב דחאבד .ול תולגל רוסא )ד(
Shimon will not take matters into his own hands but instead he will
go and file charges in Beit Din and take Plony, the cheater, to Beit אוהה ןינעה תא ןיעדוי םינש םא וליפאו ,ל"נכו ורופיסב

careful in reporting this gossip to Shimon and must conform to three
rules in order not to violate the esur of Lashon Hara or Rechilut: (1) ,םרופיס י"ע ול ןירפסמש שיאה התע השועש ומכ )ןיד

from others, it is forbidden for them to tell Shimon (36) (that he הארנ אלש ןמז לכ רחא םדא םע השעש תופתושה ז"יע
was cheated). (2) There must be two speakers (37) (conveying this םינפב םירבדה יתמתס ןכ לע ,וילע הלוע הזה קסעב התע
report \ gossip to Shimon). (3) The consequences of their report to
Shimon may not cause any more damages to Plony that he would .רוסיאל

Plony guilty (and penalized him to the extent that the law required). התע דע גהנתהש המב וילע םתעידי ןפואש ימרתיא םאו
