Title
Tazria-Metzora - The New Lashon Hara
Description
And also, and this is important, even if you have information that is true, but is frightening. Maybe stories of people who either have survived COVID or nurses or doctors who treat people who haven't survived. And the graphic difficulty of the story is painful, even though it's true and you send it to somebody for whom, you know, it will be terrifying, not helpful, but terrifying under the guise of well, it's true. And we should know the truth. That too is a kind of Lashon Hara. Titillation that is excitement for its own sake, especially when it involves fear in life. And death is not a worthy endeavor. If you're sending something because it contains information that is true and can be helpful to someone to protect themselves. Okay. Or if you're sending stories to someone who, you know, can read it and absorb it and it won't keep them up at night and it won't wreck their days with anxiety. Okay.
