They are here to fulfill the second half of this posuk<br /><br />Vayikra 19:16. You shall not go around as a gossipmonger amidst your people. You shall not stand by your fellow's blood. I am the Lord.<br />לֹא תֵלֵךְ רָכִיל בְּעַמֶּיךָ לֹא תַעֲמֹד עַל דַּם רֵעֶךָ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה <br /><br />Why does the statement "You shall not stand by your fellow's blood" follow the one prohibiting Lashon Hara?

If that were the case then no Bais Din could issue a seruv and the Jewish Press would not be allowed to list those who chain agunot!<br />LashonTovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036714389715221515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468479120021796230.post-42212496664312909212012-05-23T06:04:14.940-07:002012-05-23T06:04:14.940-07:00Anyone who wants to know what the Torah really say...Anyone who wants to know what the Torah really says about prostitution should read Ramban's commentary on Deuteronomy 23:18.
