Feb 23, 2017 at 15:59 comment added mevaqesh @SAH What I said is that Judaism is much larger than the HH, as evidenced by my answer, and as should be obvious even without it. As I said before, there is no other "book" for them to teach, since according to pretty much everyone else, such a book cannot exist, since the point is general human decency which cannot be reduced to rules. | I cannot fathom why an answer from leading living poskim representing the apparent near consensus of all Jewish sources, is disqualified based on the teaching curriculum of unnamed schools; surely the opposite should be the case!
Feb 23, 2017 at 15:49 comment added SAH @mevaqesh I disagree that the view of "Judaism" is widely different from the CC. Based on my own (admittedly limited) experience, schools teach the CC when teaching laws of loshon hara, and yirahdik people try to apply the CC's parameters to their own behavior. In what communities do you find it is otherwise?
Feb 21, 2017 at 22:26 comment added mevaqesh I would respond Pok Chazi that it seems that this view of the HH was rejected by pretty much all of his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors, including such classic modern day authorities as the eminent Rabbis Asher Weiss, and David Cohen, Shlit"a. | Limiting questions to the view of one lone 20th century writer, rather than the view of Judaism, makes it hard to answer, and not particularly valuable.
Feb 21, 2017 at 22:15 comment added SAH @mevaqesh Thanks for your very detailed answers to my questions on this topic but they don't settle the matter for me. Pok chazi, people accept the Chofetz Chaim's definition. So I'd like an answer to my second subquestion in light of it

Dec 20, 2016 at 1:46 comment added SAH @DonielF according to the CC there are prerequisites for saying loshon hara with a toeles. Must they all be met in this case?

Nov 21, 2016 at 4:32 comment added mevaqesh He is certainly very influential, and a starting point and point of departure for later poskim.
Nov 21, 2016 at 4:28 comment added SAH @mevaqesh I would really like to know about the Chofetz Chaim's seven, since I was under the impression that today's halacha on the topic of loshon hara follows the CC. Am I wrong? ... Independent of that, I (and presumably others) would of course be interested in any available information on this topic, but I can't promise I would accept the answer. Thanks in advance!
Nov 18, 2016 at 19:01 comment added mevaqesh Is this question only according to the Haffets Hayyim, or can answers be based on contemporary poskim, and classical sources?
