are categorized as people who read “external books,” which is םֵיּקְַל וֹמְצַעְבּ קֵזַּחְתִיְו ,ויָלָע וֹבִּל ל ֹּפִי לַא םוֹקָמ לָכִּמ ,ןֶהָל
something that must be avoided, as Chazal were very strict about
this matter. This subject is brought down in Gemara Sanhedrin ךְָכיִפְלֶּשׁ ,א"רְָגַּה םֵשְׁבּ יִתְּעַמָשֶּׁשׁ וֹמְכוּ .ךְרַָבְּתִי 'ה ירְֵבִדּ

[ 6 ] Oppressive \ Abusive speech: This esur is learned from .דיִחָי ןוֹשְׁלִבּ ,"'וֹגְו בוֹטַּה תֶאְו םיִיַּחַה תֶא םוֹיַּה ךָיֶנָפְל
the pasuk (Vayikrah 25:17) “And one man shall not oppress his
fellow Jew,” meaning, one may not annoy his fellow Jew (in any ,רוֹדַּה תוֹנוֲֹע וּבּרַ ,םוֹלָשְׁו סַחֶשׁ ,תֵעְבּ וּלִּפֲאֶשׁ ,תוֹרוֹהְל
way). Chazal have taught (Babba Metziah 59a) that one may קֵזַּחְתִהְל דיִחָיַּה ךְירִָצ יִכָה וּלִּפֲא ,הָחָכוֹתּ םֶהָל ליִעוֹמ ןיֵאְו
not do things that would annoy one’s wife, and all the more so
to those who provide one’s domestic services, particularly if the תירְִבּ תֶא וֹדַּבְל וֹמִּע הֶשׂוֹע אוּה ךְוּרָבּ שׁוֹדָקַּהֶשׁ ,עדַיֵלְו
provider of that service is a widow or orphan. The sin of one who
upsets a widow or an orphan is very grave. 30 :)'ב-'א ו"ס הָיְעַשְׁי( בוּתָכַּה ןֵכּ םַגּ זַמרָ הֶז ןָיְנִע לֶאְו .הרָוֹתַּה
[ 7 ] Embarrassment: One may not use language that would יִנָע לֶא טיִבַּא הֶז לֶאְו ,'וֹגְו יִאְסִכּ םִיַמָשַּׁה 'ה רַמָא ה ֹּכ"
cause embarrassment even when reprimanding someone, as the ."ירִָבְדּ לַע דרֵָחְו ַחוּר הֵכְנוּ
pasuk states (Vayikrah 19:17) “You shall rebuke your fellow Jew
but not to the point of causing sin.” ,וֹמְצַע לַע הרָיִמְשַּׁה תַלָבּקַ ידְֵי לַעֶשׁ דַבְלִּמְדּ ,דוֹע עַדְו
[ 8 ] Haughtiness \ Pride: This esur is learned from the pasuk
(Devarim 8:11) “Be very careful not to forget Hashem your G-d,” וֹמְצַע יֵנְפִבּ רָכָשׂ לֵבּקְַי דוֹע ,םירִוּסֲא םירִוּבִּדּ הָמַּכִּמ לֵצָנִּי
which is a warning to those who are haughty, as the Gemara Sotah ,הרָיִמְשַּׁה קֶסֵעְבּ וֹשְׁפַנ תֶא סיִנְכִהֶשּׁ הַמ לַע ,םוֹי לָכּ לַע
(5a) relates. Please see that reference. Even pride that is secreted
within one’s heart is forbidden, as the pasuk states (Mishle 16:5) םִא וּלִּפֲא ,"ערֵָמ ךְָנוֹשְׁל רֹצְנ" :)ד"י ד"ל םיִלִּהְתּ( בוּתָכַּכּ
“Those who possess a haughty heart are disgusting to Hashem.” לַע רֵמוֹשׁ הֶנַּמְמֶּשׁ יִמ תַמְגדְֻו .תוֹנוֹיְסִנ וֹל וּנְמַּדְּזִנ אלֹ
[ 9 ] Argumentative \ Provocative \ Controversial speech: This םִא וּלִּפֲא ,וֹתרָיִמְשׁ ןַמְז לָכּ רָכָשׂ רֵמוֹשַּׁה לֵבּקְַי ,ויָתוֹרְצוֹא
esur follows from the pasuk (Bamidbar 17:5) “And you shall not
be like Korach and his supporters,” as the Gemara Sanhedrin .תֵעָה הָּתוֹאְבּ םיִבָנַּגּ וֹל וּנְמַּדְּזִנ אלֹ
relates (110a) that this is a warning not to get involved in disputes.
Included in this category are all of the preceding categories of ,הרָיִמְשַּׁה תַבוֹחְבּ וּנדְַחִיֶּשׁ ,םיִנָיְנִע הרָָשֲׂעָה לָכּ הֵנִּהְו .זט
forbidden speech, because during a dispute people treat all of
these prohibitions as being permitted.
[ 10 ] Anger: Chazal have taught (Gemara Nedarim 22a) one the Senior Angel Michael, who brings the souls of the righteous near to
must be very careful to avoid this, because the sin of anger is the Creator, approaches this righteous soul and extends to it greeting of
peace, as the pasuk relates “and Malki-Tzedek,” this is the angel Michael,
the Chief Watchman at the Gates of Righteousness, “the King of Shalem,”
meaning, the Heavenly City of Jerusalem, “he brought out (to Abraham)
29. In that Mishnah Rebbe Akivah holds that this type of person has no portion bread and wine,” he pre-empts this soul and approaches him and says to
in Olam Haba. him- Shalom, peace to you as you come in. (Quoted up until this point).
