Take One: Pesachim 118 and 119

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Pesachim 118 and 119, warn us against engaging in the sin of lashon hora, or slander. Alana Newhouse, Editor in Chief of Tablet Magazine, joins us to talk the lines that separate journalism from gossip, and how social media have become lashon hora machines. What question might we ask ourselves to help us determine if we're about to speak maliciously and needlessly? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
