Subject: [chicago-aneinu] Negative Words About Negative Words   (B207)

Negative Words About Negative Words You were right there at the table when your neighbor Aharon stated that he once saw another neighbor, Moshe, shut the curtains and lights and hide from view when he noticed a tzedakah collector coming up the block. "He's that stingy!" Aharon said. "On Purim, he leaves town to avoid the knocks on his door." Moshe, who was at the same wedding, was sitting at a table across the room. Everyone at your table was laughing and looking in his direction. In fact, Moshe was sitting elsewhere because he knew that Aharon disliked him and talked about him.  Q:Feeling terrible about Moshe's humiliation, you changed tables. May you tell the people at your new table why you moved, letting Aharon's identity as a speaker of loshon hora be known? A:Loshon hora is an act against a fellow Jew and therefore, if all seven conditions of to'eles are met, you may relate what Aharon did (but not the substance of what he said about Moshe). This conveys the seriousness with which you take the mitzvos bein adam lachaveiro and upholds the Torah's honor. Reviewed by Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Lowy. For discussion only; actual halachic decisions should be made by a rav or halachic expert on a case-by-case basis.
