day 117 in a nutshell there are times when one should offer negative information about a shirakh without being asked and there are times when one should remain silent it is remarkable that the verse which begins will say that do not go as a gossip monger among your people concludes do not stand by as your brother's blood is being shed in its plain meaning the second in its plain meaning the second prohibition forbids us to stand by idly when we see that a jew's life is in danger obviously and satoru placed this prohibition in the very same verse as the primary prohibition against speaking english and haram achilles there must be some connection between them earlier in the savior explains that raheela's can kill three the speaker the listener and the subject the torah is telling us do not cause your brother's blood brother's blood to be spilled by speaking evil of him we know that a single verse in the torah can be interpreted in a variety of ways in today's segment sees a completely different connection between the torah is telling us that although speaking lashinar is usually terrible any destructive sin there are times when one must speak flesh and horror in order to prevent someone from being harmed
