Rav Elchanan Elgrod-Posek-Laws of Lashon Hara-31January2013

A detailed discussion of l lashon hara.
Lashon hara is the halakhic term for derogatory speech about another person. Lashon hara differs from defamation in that its focus is on the use of true speech for a wrongful purpose, rather than falsehood and harm arising. By contrast, hotzaat shem ra (“spreading a bad name”), also called hotzaat diba, consists of untrue remarks, and is best translated as “slander” or “defamation”. Hotzaat shem ra is worse, and consequentially a graver sin, than lashon hara.The act of gossiping is called rechilut, and is also forbidden by Jewish law.
