Rabbi Beinish Ginsburg

Ginsburg begins a discussion of when one may speak lashon hara in order
to warn others not to imitate bad behavior. If one sees another doing
an aveira (transgressing a Torah law) on purpose multiple times, he may
point it out to others in order to prevent them from copying this
behavior. However, this may be done only if those hearing the lashon
hara will not fully accept it, but rather view it as a cautionary
warning. People who did not receive a Jewish education and therefore
are unaware of Torah law may not be spoken about. |

Chofetz Chaim emphasizes that one is not allowed to tell others if he
saw someone commit a transgression once, because the person may have
done teshuva. Rather, he should approach the person and rebuke him
himself. Rabbi Ginsburg discusses the proper way to give tochacha (rebuke), as constructive criticism, gently and respectfully. |
