Cursing another Jew is forbidden

(1/7) > >>

SW:
Cursing another Jew is forbidden; even one who doesn't hear the curse or who cannot hear the curse.

One may not even curse oneself.

One who curses another using the name of God - even in English - deserves 39 lashes from Bet Din.

Applies to everybody, everywhere, always

Verse: "Do not curse the deaf" (Vayikra 19:4)

Source: The Chafetz-Chaim's Sefer haMitzvot haKatzar; Prohibition 45

Kahane-Was-Right BT:
But we curse malshinim and God's enemies in the prayer 3 times a day, so it can't possibly apply to "everyone, everywhere"

I got a message from someone on Facebook about it.

Is it wrong to say YimachShemoto a friend who has seriously done us wrong by evilly betraying the friendship?

~Hanna~:
I am not Jewish, but that seems just wrong to me...I've been hurt, betrayed, rejected by so called friends, I might get angry and bitter, but I would never say that about them.
