[ 14 ] (Emphatically) How so very important it is to be careful ןא ָּכ ןיֵאְו ,ארָָמְּג ַּב םָשׁ ןֵּיַע ,"קָחרְ ִּת רקֶֶשׁ רַב ּדְִמ" :)'ז ג"כ
to avoid this sin is taught by Chazal in a statement that is well
known to all (Yerushalmi Yomah 5a), that in every generation in .ךְירֲִאַהְל םוֹקָמ
which the Beit HaMikdash was not built in its time is considered,
Gd forbid, as if it was a partner to its destruction; as is known
that this sin was the prime reason for the destruction of the Beit הָלוֹדְּג הָלֲעַמ ידֵיִל הֶכוֹז ,וֹמְצַע רֵמוֹשֶּׁשׁ תֵעָה ל ָּכ רוּבֲע .ד

the company of those people who speak disparagingly of their
fellow Jew, because when their words ascend On High they are
inscribed in a book and everyone who was assembled within that לַע םָלוֹעָה םֵּיקְַת ִּמֶשׁ ,וי ִּפ תַמיִסֲח ידְֵי לַע הֶכוֹז םיִמָעְפִלְו .ה
group is recorded as being part of an evil group of people (even
if they are passive and don’t participate in the conversation. The וֹמְצַע תֶא שֵׁבוֹכּ אוּהְו ,הֶּז ַּבְת ִּמֶשׁ ,הָבירְִמ תַעְשׁ ִּב :ןוֹג ְּכ .וֹדָי

this person as a ‘Rasha’). With absolute certainty, a spirit
of awesome defilement hovers over this entire group and the לַע ?םָּיקַ םָלוֹעָה יִמ לַע ."הָמיִל ְּב לַע ץרֶֶא הֶל ֹּת" :)'ז ו"כ
Yetzer Hara incites everyone in that group to participate in that םיִמָעְפִל ּדְ .ה ָּדִמ ְּב ה ָּדִמ אוּהְו .הָבירְִמ תַעְשׁ ִּב וי ִּפ םֵלוֹבֶּשׁ יִמ
conversation with various stories (i.e., Lashon Hara) in order that
every person in that group will be judged at some future time to ,הֶל ָּכִהְל םָלוֹעָה לוֹכָיְו ,ןיִגוּרְט ּקִַה וּבּרְַתִנ תוֹנוֲֹעָה ידְֵי לַע

companions. All this is derived from a well-known Mishnah (in
Gemara Makkot 5b) One who is attached (in any way at all) to a ירֲֵהֶשׁ ,ךְ ָּכ ל ָּכ בוּשָׁח םָדָא הָיָה אלֶֹּשׁ ,טוֹל וּלִּפֲאֶשׁ ,דוֹע

Therefore anyone who has any sense will run away from these
kinds of people just as he would run away from a fire. ,רַמָא םָהרְָבַאֶשׁ עַמָשֶּׁשׁ יֵנ ְּפִמ ,יִכָה וּלִּפֲא .)י"ִשּׁרַ שׁוּר ֵּפ ןֵּיַע(

[ 16 ] The Tosefta (Peh’ah 1:2) (cited in the Yerushalmi Peh’ah
1:1) contains the following statement which is also quoted in לקַ ְּב ןוֹדִּנ הֵּנִּמוּ .םירִָב ּדְ תַשׁרָ ָּפ שׁ ָּמֻח ַּב י"ִשּׁרַ שׁרַ ֵּפֶשׁ וֹמ ְּכ
