DEUTERONOMY | 27:26 uphold — DEUT1513 If one completely disregards the prohibi...

DEUT1513 If one completely disregards the prohibition of lashon hara, Heaven forbid, and does not resolve to guard against transgressing it, then he incurs a third curse, that of אָר֗וּר אֲשֶׁ֧ר לֹא־יָקִ֛ים אֶת־דִּבְרֵ֥י הַתֹּורָֽה־הַזֹּ֖את לַעֲשֹׂ֣ות אֹותָ֑ם, “Cursed is one who does not uphold the words of this Torah, to do them” (Devarim 27:26). This curse refers to one who does not resolve to keep the entire Torah. One who completely disregards the prohibition of lashon hara is referred to as a mumar l’davar ehad, since he flagrantly violates this severe prohibition and views this aspect of Hashem's Torah as inconsequential, similar to a mumar who disregards the entire Torah. His sin is therefore unbearably severe.
