A7. Everything written until now has not been in the context of קרפ ם"במרב אתיא ןכו ,והויצש הממ ונוק תעד לע
speaking in the Beit Midrash (7). However, if one speaks Lashon הארי לש ורקיע והזד ארמגהמ חכומ ןכו ,תובאד 'א
Hara or gossips in the Beit Midrash or in a synagogue, he violates
the Aseh of (Vayikrah 19:30) “and you should be in awe of My holy בא ארומ ןינעל )א"ל ףד( ןישודיקב ארמגה ל"זד
places.” Our Authorities have decided the law is that our Batei .ש"יע 'וכו וירבד תא רותסי אל ארומ והזיא ר"ת
Midrash are included in this category of G‑d's holy places and we
are commanded to be in awe of those places because His presence םינפואה 'ח לכב ונייה רבועד םינפב ש"מו
resides there. Accordingly, the only deliberations that can be made .תוטישפב
there must relate to mitzvot, such as calculating the amount of
money in the public charity box and similar calculations. Most
certainly nonsense would be unconditionally forbidden there as
are mockery and empty talk, as cited in the Shulchan Aruch Orach םייחה רוקמ
Chayim (section #151, paragraph #11). All the more so is Lashon
Hara or gossip forbidden there because of the awe that one must ערָה ןוֹשׁל רוּפִּס לֶשׁ ןמזּה הזבּ רבוֹע )בי( םלּכּ לעו )בי(
