Episode description

Kedoshim makes clear that in order to "love our neighbor as ourself" we must be willing to intervene when they are harming themselves or someone else. This is known in Hebrew as "Tochecha." It is one of the most difficult aspects of true friendship, and Jewish teachings offer nuanced and emotionally sensitive guidance on when and how to interrupt someone else's destructive behavior.
