[זאת חנוכה, ה'תשל"ג]

שלום וברכה!

לפלא

גדול ומצער ששואל המותר להלבין (בלשונו 'לדקור') פני חברו ובפרט ברבים - הזהו . . . 'תורת אמת'?!

Zos Chanukah, 5733.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

It is astonishing and distressing that you ask whether it is permitted to shame (in your words, 'to stab') another person’s face, especially in public—is this really... 'Torat Emet'?!


Summary

The Rebbe strongly condemns shaming others, especially in public, emphasizing that such behavior is incompatible with the true values of Torah.
