And so even if they were to realize that their language is forbidden, it is ירבדלד ומכ ,רתומ וריבחל םדא ןיבש םירבדב

are saying is a sin and) to change their ingrained behavior. But this would ם"במרה בתכש המד רמול חרכומ התא הנשמ םחלה

similarly not to curse and not to lie) about any Jew. Then inevitably this .הנוי 'רכ רבוסד רשפא כ"או ,הז םג ןכ ,יאק כ"ג

(K9/6/1)-(15) .. anything that was told to him: This concept
is taught in Gemara Yomah (4b) “What is the source that teaches us if פ"כע הנוי 'רכ ם"במרה רובסי םא וליפא רבד ףוס
