How grievous a sin is shaming another! The Torah has warned us that even when we must chastise our fellow man, we should not shame him at the same time, as it is said, You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and do not bear sin because of him. That is to say chastise him in a way which instructs him in the way of life, but do not shame him.
