Don’t Curse a Deaf Person

from Simply Deep · host Elie Feder

Rashi (Vayikra 19:14) says that even though one isn’t allowed to curse any Jew (from Shemos 22:27), the Torah singles out a deaf person to teach that the prohibition is limited to the living. This seems like a strange way to teach this Halacha?! Besides answering this question, we discuss the nature of the issur of cursing people.
