by I went to youtube this morning, for an entirely different reason. On the side, I saw this link for a “Yom Kippur” service. I thought that I would take a look for a minute or two. I stayed much longer. This was a live stream.

Yom Kippur Shacharit
One of the phrases used in this, is Lashon hara. Lashon hara is the halakhic term for derogatory speech about a person, which emotionally or financially damages them or lowers them in the estimation of others. Lashon hara differs from defamation in that lashon hara is truthful speech rather than lies.
