Bein Adam L'Chaveiro,  Ethics,  Middot 

Description

In this week's shmuze, Rabbi Shuster asked: How (and why) is living according to the Torah's interpersonal halachot - bein adam lachaveiro - any different than following a good self-help book about interpersonal relationships? He focused on lashon hara (negative speech) as a case in point, and asked: What draws people to speak negatively about others - lashon hara (why is gossip so juicy)?
