You shall not be a tale-bearer among your people; you shall not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor; I am Adonai.
[translation by AJWS]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. What does it mean to "stand idly by"? What if you are not in a position to directly save the life?
2. Who is the "neighbor" the Torah is talking about?
3. What if it seems like there is nothing you can do?
