(Translation: "The situation cries out for heavenly mercy,
for prayer and beseeching. And at this time we have an obligation to
strengthen ourselves in repentance and prayer and in simple faith that there is
none other than Him, and our eyes are turned only to Him, may He be blessed.?
And moreover we must increase in saying Tehillim and Avinu Malkeinu during
prayer or after it, and give charity every day and say "Just as I am
giving charity, in Your great benevolence may You also act benevolently with me
and rescue me from this difficult situation")

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Without Rule or Regulation
?
A primary cause of speaking loshon hora is that people consider matters of speech as without rule or regulation. Tragically, many do not even consider speaking loshon hora a sin. Such blatant disregard for this severe prohibition weakens the resolve of those
who might otherwise be cautious with their words.
?
The following parable is a fitting response to the above situation:
?
A sizable portion of a city’s inhabitants contracted a dreaded disease. All the city’s doctors despaired of curing the stricken. One day, a world-renowned physician appeared who was known for his ability to restore the seriously ill to their original health.
The illness that had swept through the city was viewed as incurable, and thus many doubted that even this doctor could save them. One sick man, however, hurried to the doctor’s lodgings at the first opportunity. “Where are you rushing?’’ one of his friends
asked. “No one else seems to be in a hurry to see this doctor.’’
?
“Foolish man,’’ the patient replied. “A wise person understands that when one’s life is at stake, even the most remote possibility of a cure must be pursued. In this case, the possibility is not at all remote. This doctor has earned himself a reputation as
being able to heal when no one else can. He has cured people who were at death’s door. Should I neglect to seek his expertise because so many fools ignore this opportunity for salvation?’’
?
If the above argument is true regarding physical health, how much more so does it apply regarding spiritual health. King David declared, “Go, O sons, heed me ... Which man desires life, who loves days of seeing good? Guard your tongue from evil, and your lips
from speaking deceit” (Tehillim 34:12-14). Who is a greater healer of the spirit than King David, of blessed memory? One who ignores David’s advice will remain spiritually ill eternally, and will suffer retribution in this world as well, as explained above.
Surely, then, one should pay no heed to those who make light of this most severe sin.
|
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Within Everyone’s Reach
?
Any Jew who reflects upon his ways regularly, and resolves to scrupulously refrain from speaking the forbidden, will surely succeed in attaining the quality of shmiras haloshon. As our Sages teach, one who seeks to purify himself is granted Heavenly assistance
(Shabbos 104a). They further state that if a person sincerely strives to be a tzaddik (righteous individual), then Hashem will assign him an angel who will treat him as a tzaddik; and if he will sincerely strive to be a chassid (exceedingly righteous individual),
then Hashem will assign him an angel who will treat him as a chassid (Tanna D’vei Eliyahu Zuta ch. 3).
?
The Talmud qualifies the statement, “Everyone is [guilty of speaking] loshon hora” (Bava Basra 165a) by saying that this refers not to actual loshon hora, but to avak loshon hara (the dust of loshon hara); that is, statements which can lead to loshon hora being
spoken or from which negative information can be inferred.1 Moreover, Maharsha (ibid.) comments that “everyone” refers only to a person who is not careful in matters of speech, and speaks whatever comes to mind. Such a person will surely be guilty of speaking
avak loshon hora. The Sages did not, Heaven forfend, mean that it is impossible for anyone to be free of this sin. With knowledge of the relevant laws and proper zealousness, any Jew can acquire the golden quality of shmiras haloshon.
?
1.?As an example, it is forbidden to praise someone in the presence of his enemies, as his enemies will
probably respond by voicing their criticism of him.

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON-Day 137
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Despair
?
Another primary reason why people speak loshon hora is despair, meaning that they despair of being able to live by the Torah’s laws of proper speech. There are those who convince themselves that anyone who interacts with others in normal business and social
relations cannot possibly live by these laws. To support this contention, they cite the Talmudic statement that “everyone is guilty of loshon hora” (Bava Basra 165a).? Of course, they are grossly mistaken.
?
It is a known axiom of Jewish belief that Hashem does not make excessive demands of His creations. If the Torah places a certain obligation upon us, then surely its fulfillment is within our reach. Would adherence to the laws of shmiras haloshon be an inordinately
difficult achievement, then it would be optional, a matter for the exceedingly righteous who strive to perfect themselves in ways that others never attempt. In fact, to refrain from speaking loshon hora is required by the Torah, and involves numerous commandments.
Obviously, the Creator has endowed every Jewish soul with the ability to observe these laws.
?
“A God of faith without iniquity” (Devarim 32:4) — God created man to be righteous, not wicked (Sifre ad loc.). This means that Hashem endowed each Jew with the ability to observe all of His commandments, for if not, it would be unfair to hold him accountable
for their transgression.

This week’s shiur:
Thesis - Antithesis – Synthesis: Historical Responsibility?
??
Mizmorim 105-107
?
What can we learn from the connection between 2 historical overviews (105-106)
and giving thanks for salvation (107)? What does this relationship, which also
bridges between Books IV and V, come to teach us?
Mizmor 105, the thesis, contains God’s blessed leadership; Mizmor 106, the
antithesis, focuses on disobedience resulting in Exile and the prayer for
return; ?Mizmor 107, the synthesis, is
filled with thanks and a return from the Exile after calling upon God.
?
Contextual interpretation will explore the interface between the
mizmorim closing Book IV and opening Book V that request and begin to describe
the redemption in Eretz Yisrael. With these insights, it becomes clear that
Mizmor 107 serves as a meaningful opening for Book V, which will be discussed
in the next lecture.

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON-Day 133
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Loser of Two Worlds
?
A? scoffer is liable to suffer retribution in this world for his sinful behavior. As the Talmud states (Avodah Zara 18b): “Whoever scoffs will have affliction visited upon him, as it is written, ‘And now, do not scoff, lest your retribution intensify’ (Yeshayahu
28:22). Said Rava to the rabbis, ‘I ask you not to engage in scoffing, so that affliction not come upon you.’ ” The Talmud further states (ibid.) that scoffing causes one to be denied his material needs.
?
Scoffers bring punishment upon the entire world, as the Talmud (ibid.) states, “Whoever scoffs brings about destruction in the world.’’ It is forbidden even to sit in the company of scoffers, as it is written, “Praiseworthy is the man ... that sat not in the
company of scoffers” (Tehillim 1:1).
?
The Vilna Gaon writes in his famous letter:
?
To the verse, “All man’s toil is for his mouth” (Koheles 6:6), the Sages comment (Midrash Koheles ibid.) that all the mitzvos and Torah study of a person are not sufficient to negate that which he utters [sinfully] with his mouth. They further state: “Which
craft should man pursue in this world? He should strive to emulate a mute [and avoid evil talk] (Chullin 89a), and press his lips together like two millstones [which grind against one another]”.
?
Therefore, one must distance oneself from scoffers so that he will not learn from their ways; rather, he should sit where Torah is being spoken. Praiseworthy will he be, in this world and in the World to Come.
?
|
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Scoffing
?
One of the root causes of loshon hora is scoffing. Some people are accustomed to scoffing at anything, and attach themselves to people who are of their own kind. It is natural for such people to scoff at others who are outside their circle and to speak degradingly
of them. Therefore, one who seeks to cleanse his soul should ponder the terrible sin of such behavior.
?
Our Sages teach that scoffers are one of four groups that will not merit to greet the Divine Presence (Sotah 42a). In addition to his own sins, a scoffer is guilty of causing others to join him in his ridicule. It is well known that to cause others to sin is
an extremely grave offense, and prevents the perpetrator from being granted Heavenly assistance to repent (Avos?5:18).
?
Aside from all of the above, to idle one’s time away, even not in a sinful way, is to waste precious time that could be used for studying Torah and accruing reward for the World to Come. According to one Talmudic opinion, the verse “... for he scorned the word
of Hashem” (Bamidbar?15:31)
applies to one who squanders the opportunity to study Torah.
?
How ashamed, then, should one be to have spent hour upon hour in the company of scoffers! Moreover, were they to restrain themselves from speaking the forbidden, they would thereby merit eternal life, for, as the Midrash states, for each moment that a person
refrains from speaking the forbidden, he merits a hidden light that no angel can fathom.

Segula of Parshat HaMan for Parnassah -Tuesday daytime
Today is Yom Shlishi of Parshat Beshalach, a day in which there is a
Segula to daven for Parnasa.
The Segula, which comes to us from the Chassidic Rebbe, Reb Menachem Mendel
of Riminov [a disciple of the Rebbe Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk], is to read
"Parshat HaMan","Shnayim Mikra v'Echad Targum," reading the Hebrew verses
twice and the Aramaic translation of Onkelos once.
Parshat HaMan can be found in Shemot Chapter 16, verses 4 - 36 [the end of
the chapter], or for those who prefer, from the middle of Chamishi - the
Fifth Aliya - to the end of Shishi [the Sixth].
There are two methods of reading "Shnayim Mikra v'Echad Targum": One is to
read through the entire portion, with the Hebrew once, then twice, and then
read through the entire Targum. The other method is to read each verse at a
time, twice in the Hebrew and once in the Aramaic, before going on to the
next verse.
There is also a custom to light a candle in his memory. You don't have to
light it specifically on his yahrzeit - it can be done at any time. If you
light a candle in his memory and have in mind a prayer, his zechut will
help with that tefila.

How do we transition between exile, rehabilitation and revival in Eretz
Yisrael? What are the stages in the redemptive process?
Mizmor 101 describes the return of King David, 102 the return of the Jewish
people from the Exile and Mizmorim 103-104 praise Hashem for these
developments. Chapters 105-106 give a historical review resulting in the prayer
at the end of Book IV to return from the Exile. Contextual interpretation will
be used to help unlock the psychological and philosophical world of Mizmor 102.

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON - Day 130
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Like from a Fire
?
Anyone of even minimal intelligence should understand that one should flee the trait of anger like one would flee a fire. He should realize that without a doubt a tendency toward anger will ensure his condemnation on the Day of Judgment when he departs this
world.
?
One whose sins exceed his merits is deemed a rasha, wicked person, and as our Sages state, “Whoever is given to anger surely has more sins than merits, as it is written (Mishlei 29:22), ‘And the master of anger has much sin (pesha)” (Nedarim 22b). In Scripture,
this term for sin denotes willful sin with the intention of rebelling against and angering God. The term is used here regarding the man of anger, because in the heat of rage one has total disregard for Torah and mitzvos. Thus do the Sages state, “Whoever is
given to anger has no regard even for the Divine Presence” (ibid.); and, “Whoever rips his clothing, smashes his vessels or disperses his money in a fit of rage should be in your eyes like an idol worshiper ... Which verse alludes to this? ‘There shall be
no strange god within you’ (Tehillim 81:10). Which ‘strange god’ is within the body of man? The evil trait of anger” (Shabbos 105b).
