Proper Way of Admonishment - Hilchos Deos (37) #Torah

In this session, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner explores the complex laws of admonishment and the severe ethical prohibitions against embarrassing a fellow Jew. Drawing from the Oral Torah and the teachings of the Rambam, Rabbi Lerner explains the delicate balance required when rebuking someone for their actions. While we are commanded to guide others toward the right path, the Torah warns that we must not bear a sin because of them by causing public shame or humiliation. The discussion delves into the spiritual consequences of public embarrassment, which our sages compare to bloodshed. Rabbi Lerner highlights why a person who shames their colleague in public risks losing their share in the world to come, often because the act is so damaging that the perpetrator fails to achieve true repentance. The video further clarifies the distinctions between personal grievances and spiritual transgressions, explaining when it is necessary to speak softly and when, in cases of public desecration of Hashem, a more forceful public response might be required. Viewers will gain a deeper understanding of how to handle conflict, the importance of private versus public rebuke, and the high value the Torah places on the dignity of every individual, regardless of their status. Rabbi Lerner also addresses the unique challenges of admonishing children and those with limited understanding, emphasizing that our ultimate goal must always be to help others return to the path of righteousness with sensitivity.

It could be surprising for many people that personal growth is associated with commandments that we are obligated to fulfill, and it’s not a matter of personal choice. But don’t worry, you don’t have to do this alone. G-d, in His mercy, shows us a path that enables each one of us to grow intellectually and emotionally and use our potential for the service of G-d. Hilchot De’ot is one of the sections within Sefer Mishneh Torah by Rambam (Maimonides). Rambam demonstrated in Sefer Hilchot De’ot the objective law of personality developments as the path G-d shows us. Be’Ezrat Hashem, through learning and following the process of personal growth, we will be able to carry out all the other mitzvot with greater awareness and conviction. Eleven Mitzvot and dozens of Halachot are taught with commentaries and detailed explanation in Hilchot De’ot class, including five positive commandments and six negative commandments, as follows: to imitate His ways to cling to those who know Him to love others (fellow Jews) to love converts not to hate one’s fellow Jews to admonish [a wrongdoer] not to shame not to oppress the unfortunate not to bear tales not to take revenge not to bear a grudge Learning with Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner, and Be’Ezrat Hashem, we all adjust ourselves to the middle path and modify our middot to fulfill our potential for the service of our Creator. —————— #TorahHealth #TorahHealthAdvice #JewishObligation #JewishHashkafa #JewishValue #JewishMentality #ProblematicExtremeCharacterTraits #HilchosDeos #ShemonehPerakim #ThirteenPrinciplesOfFaith #HilchotDeot #LawsOfPersonalDevelopment #PersonalDevelopment #PersonalityDevelopment #Middos #Middot #LawsOfPersonalityDevelopment #CharacterTraits #CharacterTraitsDevelopment #LawsOfCharacterDevelopment #LawsOfCharacterTraitsDevelopment #CharacterDevelopment
