Lesson 1 We are not allowed to speak
negatively about someone’s inborn traits. Claiming that "I’m not really saying
anything negative about the person because it’s not her fault she was born that
way" doesn’t make it any less lashon hora.
Lesson 2We are not
allowed to talk negatively about someones appearance/clothing even if it is
obvious to all those who see the person. For example "her hat is so ugly" "did
you see how much wait he gained?"
Wednesday - 23d of Tishrei -
Shmini Atzeret
