Synopsis: This afternoon (4/24/23), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we refined our definitions of rechilus and lashon ha'ra from last week and segued into the Rambam's discussion of the severity of lashon ha'ra, which we'll continue tomorrow (בג"ה).

This week's Torah content has been sponsored by my dad in loving memory of our friend, Alan Woog (a"h), who took his final breath on April 18th, just a little shy of his 99th birthday. It has been a privilege to learn with him and from him over the course of these past ten years, and although we will all miss him, we are grateful that he is no longer in pain.
