<p>Cuando <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="33678">Miriam</span> habló mal de su hermano, <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="34733">Moshe</span>, Di-s la reprendió y la castigó con la enfermedad de tzarat. Debido a las oraciones de Moshe, ella se curó poco tiempo después pero debía permanecer fuera del campamento durante siete días.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('1a5803719');" name="footnoteRef1a5803719">1</a> Aarón, que había escuchado su discurso negativo sin protestar, también fue castigado, pero no tan severamente.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('2a5803719');" name="footnoteRef2a5803719">2</a></p>
<p>Los espías que fueron enviados poco después a <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="33779">Israel</span> no aprendieron la lección de esta historia y hablaron negativamente sobre la tierra de Israel. El resultado fue que todos los israelitas de esa generación murieron en el desierto.</p>
<p>El <b><i>lashón hará</i></b>, conversación difamatoria, es un pecado que ha provocado numerosas tragedias para el pueblo judío y el mundo desde el comienzo de la historia.</p>
<p>Algunos ejemplos son:</p>
<ul>
<li>El <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="32468">Midrash</span> nos dice que la serpiente le habló mal de Di-s a Eva al convencerla de comer del Árbol de la Sabiduría.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('3a5803719');" name="footnoteRef3a5803719">3</a></li>
<li>Iosef habló negativamente de sus hermanos con su padre, Iaacob, ocasionando que lo odiaran. Esto los llevó a que lo vendieran y, finalmente, causó el exilio egipcio.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('4a5803719');" name="footnoteRef4a5803719">4</a></li>
<li>Al principio, Moshe se preguntó por qué los judíos se merecían tal esclavitud en Egipto. Cuando escuchó que había chismosos entre ellos, dijo que ahora entendía por qué se merecían ese destino.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('5a5803719');" name="footnoteRef5a5803719">5</a></li>
<li>La calumnia de <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="36446">Doeg</span>, pastor principal del rey Saúl y el jefe del Sanedrín, causó la masacre de casi toda una ciudad de cohaním.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('6a5803719');" name="footnoteRef6a5803719">6</a> De hecho, los ejércitos del rey Saúl perdieron la batalla contra los filisteos como resultado de que la gente hablaba mal del (futuro) Rey <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="35536">David</span>. <a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('7a5803719');" name="footnoteRef7a5803719">7</a> (Por otro lado, los ejércitos del célebre Rey Ajab tuvieron éxito en sus batallas, a pesar de que eran idólatras, porque no cometieron el pecado de <i>lashón hará</i>).<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('8a5803719');" name="footnoteRef8a5803719">8</a></li>
<li>De acuerdo con el <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="33656">Talmud</span>, fue la calumnia de judíos por judíos lo que condujo a la destrucción del Segundo Templo.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('9a5803719');" name="footnoteRef9a5803719">9</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Las leyes de <i>lashón hará</i> son demasiado extensas como para incluirlas en un artículo. De hecho, el rabino Israel Meir Hakohen de Radin escribió un libro sobre estas leyes, en un libro llamado “Jafetz Jaim”. El título está inspirado en el verso de los Salmos, que dice “Quien quiera que desee la vida… refrene su lengua del mal”.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('10a5803719');" name="footnoteRef10a5803719">10</a></p>
<p>No obstante, lo anterior, aquí se encuentran algunas de las leyes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>1. Lashón hará literalmente significa “hablar mal”. Esto implica que está prohibido hablar negativamente sobre alguien más, incluso si es verdad.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('11a5803719');" name="footnoteRef11a5803719">11</a></p> 
<p>2. También está prohibido repetir algo sobre alguien, incluso si no es algo negativo. Esto se llama <i>rejilút</i>.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('12a5803719');" name="footnoteRef12a5803719">12</a></p> 
<p>3. Además, está prohibido escuchar <i>lashón hará</i>. Uno debe reprimir al orado o, de no ser posible, debe alejarse de dicha situación.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('13a5803719');" name="footnoteRef13a5803719">13</a></p> 
<p>4. Incluso si uno ya ha escuchado <i>lashón hará</i>, está prohibido creerlo. Por el contrario, uno siembre debe juzgar favorablemente a los demás.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('14a5803719');" name="footnoteRef14a5803719">14</a></p> 
<p>5. No obstante lo anterior, uno debe de sospechar que <i>lashón hará</i> es verdadero, y tomar las precauciones necesarias para protegerse a sí mismo.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('15a5803719');" name="footnoteRef15a5803719">15</a></p> 
<p>6. Está prohibido incluso hace una moción que sea despectiva hacia alguien.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('16a5803719');" name="footnoteRef16a5803719">16</a></p> 
<p>7. Uno no deberá volver a contar un evento negativo usando nombres, si es que los receptores o escuchas podrán adivinar de quién se está hablando.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('17a5803719');" name="footnoteRef17a5803719">17</a></p> 
<p>8. En ciertas circunstancias, tales como para proteger a alguien de un peligro, es permisible o incluso obligatorio, compartir información negativa. Como esta ley tiene muchos detalles, uno debe consultar a un rabino competente para aprender qué puede ser compartido en una situación en particular.<a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('18a5803719');" name="footnoteRef18a5803719">18</a></p>

Hola! Yo quer&#237;a preguntarle ya que la ley de Lashon har&#225; proh&#237;be el hablar mal o la mala lengua, quisiera saber en qu&#233; contexto mi pregunta es la siguiente : en el caso de que la persona halla vivido violencia intrafamiliar psicol&#243;gica y f&#237;sica, y esa persona expone al agresor en su familia y a terceros, eso es Lashon har&#225; o est&#225; permitido. Desde ya agradezco su respuesta saludos!

Lashon Hara en casos de abuso
</span>
En casos de abuso sexual o cuando hay un estafador en una comunidad, y uno advierte sobre esta persona para evitar que siga abusando de otros, no se considera lashon hara y es permitido.
