Shabbat
R' Amram the son of R' Shimon bar Abba said in the of his father who said in the name of R' Chanina Jerusalem was only destroyed because they did not rebuke one another, as it says "...her princes were like harts who did not find pasture..." (Lamentations 1:6) Just as harts stand with this one's head next to that one's tail, so too Israel in that generation pressed their faced to the floor and did not rebuke one another. R' Yehudah said: Jerusalem was only destroyed because they disparaged talmidei chachamim in her, as it says "But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words and scoffed His prophets, until the Lord's wrath ascended upon His people beyond remedy." (Chronicles II 36:16) What does 'beyond remedy' mean? R' Yehudah said in the name of Rav: Anyone one who disparaged a talmid chacham, his wounds will not heal.
