Okay friends
of what could be better than to learn
the
forab
here is a very interesting and important
ingredient when it comes to lash and
that is even when there's a to speak
lash
if you have the same problem of the
person you're talking about you can't
speak about it
if you have the same deficiency
You may not talk about it.
This is only if the person who sees the
infraction is better than the person who
he's talking about.
But what if you yourself you yourself
are dishonest?
You say this guy is a a thief, but you
you cheat on your taxes, so you're also
a thief. So you can't talk about him.
You're also a thief. Or let's say you
say, "Oh, he's stingy." Stingy. You give
less than he does. Can't talk about him.
So So
if you're a sinner like him
and you're also a sinner like him
and I'll talk about him. You know why?
You say, "Why not? I'm trying to help
the guy." No. then obviously you're not
because it can't be you have
for this terrible infraction because you
yourself do it. So obviously you're just
trying to badmouth him.
A guy like this his in revealing his
hidden faults is not for a good purpose.
You're just trying to rejoice about his
downfall.
and to shame him
already says
what's the story
was commanded to kill out in Israel. The
Nvi told him do it and he did it and he
was rewarded with Maluca for four
generations.
Nevertheless, he was considered a
murderer even though the Nvi told Yahoo
to kill Akav and he did and he was
rewarded with four generations of Malos.
But since he also served a little bit
like so now he's killing an innocent
person. He can't say no I'm killing him
because he was no you weren't because
you yourself were in that. This is a
very great principle that even when
you're authorized
and commanded and obligated to reprimand
someone or give them or talk about them
if you have even a smattering of that
fault then everything you did is
considered spilling innocent blood. Even
though you're required to do it anyway,
you're still going to be punished.
I'm going to visit the blood of Israel
on the house of
did a say by cutting off the house of
Israel.
He was commanded by the prophet
and he was rewarded with with four
generations.
Since it was in my heart what you did to
the house of
four generations will sit on the throne
of Israel.
In the end he was punished for the blood
of
Ra Pesh because
Yahoo was also of great sin.
This comes by the way from
the fifth ingredient that we said
earlier
is as we will explain.
You know what it means to be?
It goes without saying if the people who
you're talking to could help the one who
it was stolen from or oppressed or
damaged or embarrassed,
it's certainly import uh correct to
speak about it.
What if you're not really going to be
helping the person who was harmed? He's
not going to get his money back. If he's
going to get his money back, of course,
you should speak about this wrongdoing.
But even if he's not going to get his
money back,
your covenant is just is
you just want people to distance
themselves from the bad path
when they hear.
Let's say you saw Py going to the fruit
store and he ate a cherry. Now Ply is
not going to pay for that cherry. But
when people hear that you're bad
mouthing the guy who stole a cherry from
the store, people are going to stop
stealing cherries. When people hear that
you're now to steal money not from a not
from a Israel and not from a
gazuma
and if some let's say you know someone
stole from an aum and they're not going
to give the money back, are you allowed
to badmouth them? Yes. Why? So that
people learn their lesson that you're
not to do that and maybe
he's talking about maybe the guy himself
will repent from his bad ways and
correct his actions
when he hears people.
This is not
it's considered a benefit.
You're not trying to benefit by putting
the guy down.
You're just trying to be zealous for the
truth.
Maybe it will bring a benefit for the
future
says
in this case. Very interesting. If the
guy will be able to get his money back,
you're allowed to talk about the
oppressor even if the one who was
oppressed doesn't know that he was
oppressed or was stolen from him. But if
you're just trying to be
then you can only do it if the person
who was oppressed knows about it.
If they don't know about it,
you can tell others
now. Now we're dealing with because
since the person who was hurt doesn't
know about it yet. So then by you
talking about it, he's going to find out
about it. So if he's going to get his
money back, you could do it. If he's not
going to get his money back, it's just a
matter of standing up for the truth.
Then you can't talk about it. And and
not only could you not tell him, you
can't tell anybody. Why?
One friend has a friend.
It's going to cause animosity.
In other words, there are two levels of
for to help somebody retrieve recoup a
loss. You're allowed to talk about it
even if the person who had the loss
doesn't know about it. If it's not going
to help him rec recoup a loss, it's just
standing up for the truth. You can't
talk about it if the one who was hurt
doesn't know about it.
However, let's say you estimate there
will be no benefit.
You're just shooting the breeze in front
of bad people.
Let's say you're saying
he drives recklessly. He hits people. He
damages their car and he drives away. So
if you're and who you're telling to,
you're telling people who they
themselves do this.
They don't consider it a sin at all.
Let's say you say this guy, he has no
respect for the he walks in and he has a
phone on him. Can you imagine?
Not that there are even people like that
nowadays that do that cuz everybody
knows you now do that. But in the last
generation before it became well known
that you can't bring a phone into a shul
there were people who used to do that.
So let's say you badmouth somebody that
they bring a phone into in front of
people who bring now actually bad
example because that's okay this cl is
talking about
if you if you say let's say always
insults people right
it's more you have to be more guarded
they're more uh they're more ingredients
that have to be fulfilled
if you're telling people who they
themselves have the same deficiency then
you're not to tell
to such people to be careful not to say
anything
aside from the fact that no benefit will
come from his speaking.
It could also bring about a great
destruction.
He they're going to tell the robber and
the oppressor the one who embarrassed
and they're going to be violating
it's going to cause big fights
especially if it could come to tattling
on a Jew to the government
even if the details are all fulfilled
you're not to say anything so the has to
be only if you're disparaging it in
front of god-fearing people and it will
lead to the violator or to others being
careful about this uh area.
There is no difference in whether the
one who was hurt asked you to help him
out or he didn't. When it's you could do
it even if he didn't ask you. When it's
prohibited even if he asks you
when it's permitted
it's even if he didn't ask you
and when it's prohibited
that you didn't meet meet the above
criteria
it's not going to help even if he asks
you
even if he's your relative
with this many people are
if they hear that someone
anything to the relative
even though it has not been verified to
them whether it's true or why it was
done
they go and they pay back
with bad immediately they think they're
being
they think they're fulfilling the
mitzvah of not to ignore your own flesh
there's no between a relative or a
distant individual.
The prohibition of do not ignore your
relative, do not ignore your flesh and
blood was not said regarding any of
a great day and a wonderful Shabas
everyone. I guess we'll do uh tian mats
shabas. That's what we usually do. Okay.
