Rabbi Yaron Reuven - Is There Such a Thing as Kosher Lashon Hara? | The Torah Answer

🔥 Is There Such a Thing as Kosher Lashon Hara? 🔥 We’re taught that Lashon Hara destroys worlds — but is it always forbidden? What happens when silence causes even more damage? In this powerful shiur, Rabbi Yaron Reuven tackles the critical question: Is there such a thing as Kosher Lashon Hara? Using clear sources from the Gemara, Chazal, and the Chafetz Chaim, Rabbi Reuven explains: When speaking negatively is strictly forbidden When remaining silent is actually a sin When Lashon Hara becomes a halachic obligation How Torah law treats people who intentionally cause others to sin Why exposing those who bring Christian missionaries into shuls is not hatred — but responsibility ⚠️ This shiur draws a sharp line between gossip and protecting Am Yisrael. The Torah is not naïve. Compassion does not mean blindness. And אמת (truth) sometimes requires courage. 📖 Based on the Chafetz Chaim, Gemara, and halachic sources 🕯️ Essential learning for every Jew who wants to guard their speech — and their soul 🔔 Watch until the end — the distinction may shock you.

The reasoning is simple. If we allow a Rasha to rise up unchecked in our midst and we do not take a stand against the evil, our silence is not counted as righteousness, but as foolishness for allowing a cancer to grow unhindered." 2) Speaking Lashon Hara About a Heretic The prohibition against speaking Lashon Hara applies when spoken about someone who is considered “amitecha”עמיתך (of your people), namely in observance of Torah and mitzvot. However, regarding those who are recognizably “apikorsim” (heretics), it is a mitzvah (fulfillment of a positive commandment) to disparage and shame them, to their face and behind their back, for everything that one witnesses or hears about them. The Torah states (Lev. 25:17 & Lev. 19:16) “One should not wrong his fellow” and “Do not act as a talebearer among your people,” but heretics do not fit under this category for they do not act as “your people.” Therefore, we follow the practice (as taught in Avot D’Rabbi Natan, a work from the Talmudic era), “those who hate you, L-rd, I will hate, and your rebellious ones I will dispute.” An “apikorus” (heretic) is one who denies the laws and prophecies of Israel, whether the Written Law or Oral Law. Even if he says, “All the Torah is true with the exception of one Scriptural verse, kal v’chomer, g’zeira shava, or one grammatical detail,” he is included in this category. ["Kal v’chomer” and "g’zeira shava” are Talmudic terms for two of the logical principles from which we understand many laws.] even intentionally wish to destroy it.
