Speaking Loshon Hora to a Group of People


You are forbidden to relate loshon hora to a single individual or to a group.  The larger the group that hears your loshon hora, the graver your sin, since the victim will be degraded in the eyes of more people.  Furthermore, a larger number of people have sinned by their hearing your loshon hora. ~ Guard Your Tongue

    I read today in Rabi Pleskin’s sefer, Our Father Our King, that Hashem asks us to refrain from speaking about others, because they are his children too, just as we (I am) his child, and so he doesn’t want to hear anything bad about us.. We certainly would not want any one to say something bad about us to “Our Father!”
