Joseph – I’m not trying to challenge you in any way, but confused, and wondering if you have an explanation.
The Talmud states, that embarrassing an individual in public is equivalent to murdering them (I’m unsure what the exact hebrew text is).
How are you allowed to embarrass this person even when they disregard your attempts of giving Tochanah?
If a person believes that another individual deserves death for their wrong doings, and decides to embarrass them in the replacement of death, doesn’t a B’D have to decide such a decree?
Please clarify this for me, thanks!
