four categories of people will never merit to see G-d's radiance…the

Therefore, someone who lives with this terrible character trait of
“informing” does not follow in the ways of Hashem, whose sole

purpose is to do good, and this person does exactly the opposite. ךְלוֹה וֹניא ,וֹזּה הערָ הדִּמבּ וֹמצע ליגּרְמֶּשׁ יִמ ןכּ םִאו
Therefore this person is called “Ra \ evil” and so he also violates ,וֹכְּפהל הֶשׂוֹע אוּהו ,וֹתלוּזל ביִטיהל קרַ אוּהֶשׁ ,'ה יכרְדַבּ

We have now discussed fourteen Aseen that are violated by

the person who speaks Lashon Hara or gossip in addition to the .ןכּ םגּ וֹז הֵשֲׂע
seventeen Laveen that were identified above. Even though not all
of them are violated each time someone speaks Lashon Hara or םהילֲע רֹבֲעל ןיִליגרְֶשׁ ,הֵשֲׂע תוֹצִמ ד"י וּנבַשִּׁחֶשׁ ירֲֵה
