Dvar Torah Parshas Emor

Liyluy Nishmas Elchonon Tzvi ben R'Yisroel Menachem.....
In perek chaf dalid posuk yud beis it says regarding the mekalel ''Vayanichuhu bamishmar lifrosh lahem al pi Hashem'' Rashi explains that the word 'livado' is telling us that he was put alone,and not with the mikosheish eitzim,because the mikosheish was vadai chayav misa and they were unsure of whether the mikalel was chayav misa or not. The sifsei Chachamim explains Rashi , that had they been put together the mikalel woud've assumed that he was chayav misa just like the mikosheish and therefore they were not put together because maybe the mikalel will end up not being chayav misa and will have been put through unecessary tzaar and fear based on his assumptions that he too was going to be killed.
The Rosh Yeshivah Ztl asks,why didn't they  put them together and just tell the mekalel that they weren't sure yet if he was chayav misa or not?He answers that you have to say that they were afraid that maybe he wouldn't believe them completely and would still have the fear of death that may end up being unnecessary. We see a tremendous chidush from here,how far not causing someone tzaar goes.The mekalel was a rasha gamur and as the Daas Zekainim explains that the only reason they weren't sure if he was chayav misa is because misa may not have been able to be mechaper.Furthermore,it wasn't a vadai that there would be unecessary tzaar because maybe he will be chayav misa,and even if he isn't maybe he would believe them when they told him that they were unsure of his din. Still they kept them seperate. We see how much we have to worry about the tzaar of someone and make sure that we don't
 cause him to be hurt in any way, for our friends and family deserve at least as much as the mekalel! 
Good Shabbos!
