progress. >> Okay, welcome everyone. We're continuing in safer. We are up to Katan B. This KL which we began yesterday is speaking about speaking about another Jew regarding his deficiencies in his interpersonal relationships. So says like this. Until now we spoke about the of many things that change sometimes depending on the circumstance. And now we're going to speak about the most comprehensive aspect of there is no redeeming rationalization. Nothing can be said in justification for the speaker. There is no the person is only to disparage his friend and it's a stumbling block that is very common that practically most of the world are for the most part not for the most part only out of lack of knowledge. Therefore says, I request it should not be unusual in the eyes of the reader. That I'm speaking at length and I'm setting forth every detail explicitly.
