Lashon ha'Ra = Avodah Zarah, Gilui Arayos, Shfichus Damim (Hilchos Deios 7:3)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 15 minutesSynopsis: This afternoon (4/25/23), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we began by reviewing our definitions yet again - albeit very briefly! We then attempted to take up the question of what it means that the Meraglim spoke lashon ha'ra about the land of Israel, only to discover that the topic was too big for us. We ended by attempting to analyze Chazal's equation of lashon ha'ra with AZ, GA, and SD, but didn't quite manage to complete our analysis.-----מקורות:רמב"ם - פירוש המשניות אבות א:טזבמדבר יג:כז-לברמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות דעות ז:ג -----This week's Torah content has been sponsored by my dad in loving memory of our friend, Alan Woog (a"h), who took his final breath on April 18th, just a little shy of his 99th birthday. It has been a privilege to learn with him and from him over the course of these past ten years, and although we will all miss him, we are grateful that he is no longer in pain.-----If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
