Talking negatively about a Rav or his decision is Lashon Hora (unless
it is for a constructive purpose). When we degrade a rav - aside from the
personal impact, we are also causing him to lose his authority. Because of what
we say, people may not value the Rav’s words and can have a tremendous negative
ripple effect.
Lesson 2
Talking negatively about a respected
person is lashon hora. Therefore, parents are not allowed to talk badly about
their children’s teachers. This is unfortunately something that happens at
P.T.A. and school functions. ex:"my daughter said her teacher has been so boring
lately" or "what did you think of your sons’ teacher? i think she is too
strict". Legitimate concerns affecting the welfare of the child should be
expressed directly to the teacher.
