DAF DISCUSSIONS - NAZIR 49

Eli asks:

Hi, on the second amud Rebbi Yehuda told his students not to allow Rebi Meirs students in the beis midrash, how is the reason he told them and what he said about Rebbi Meirs student not Loshon hara?

Thank you for your time.

The Kollel replies:

Shalom Rav

Rebbi Yehudah considered Rebbi Meir's Talmidim trouble-makers whose aim was to disrupt his Shi'ur. He therefore instructed his Talmidim not to allow them in - in order to avoid Bitul Torah and to maintain Kavod ha'Torah.

That is not Lashon ha'Ra.

Be'Virchas ha'Torah
