Quoted verbatim from GTT, pg 123
“It is a grave sin to say anything derogatory about Klal Yisroel (the Jewish People) as a whole.”
Very often words are pushed around, i.e. cheap, stingy, loud, etc..
Even if the comment is true, it is not allowed, as lashon hara refers to derogatory information that is true. If it’s false = motzei sheim ra.
BTW, I’m curious (I guess that’s why my user name is what it is) to know how many people are reading these halachos. Should we continue this? If so, suggestions to improve…
