SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON-Day151
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON Two Failures I passed by the field of a lazy man, and by the vineyard of a man devoid of understanding, and lo! It had become overgrown with thorns, briars had covered it over, and its stone fence had been destroyed. I perceived this and considered it well, I looked upon it and took from it a lesson (Mishlei 24:32-33). These verses describe two individuals who took divergent paths, both ending in failure. I passed by the field of a lazy man — a man whose laziness caused him to neglect the study of Torah, or to forget what he had already learned. The owner of the vineyard was a man devoid of understanding — a foolish man who did not take care to hold on to those mitzvos which he had accomplished through much time and effort. The first man, instead of planting seeds of spiritual attainment, allowed his field to become overgrown with thorns, the thorns of idle chatter and fruitless endeavors. As for the second man, the sacred words of Torah study and prayer which he had uttered with fervor and devotion, which could have ascended Heavenward as a song of praise to the One Above, had become unrecognizable — briars had covered it over — the briars of spiritual impurity wrought by evil speech.

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON-Day 152
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON Torah Study vs. Loshon Hora The Talmud states (Arachin 15b): “R’ Chama bar Chanina said: If one has spoken loshon hora, how can he rectify his sin? If he is a Torah scholar, he should toil in Torah study, as it is written, ‘A healing for the tongue is a tree of life’ (Mishlei 15:4). Torah is the ‘tree of life,’ as it is written (ibid. 3:18), ‘It is a tree of life to all who grasp it.’ ” “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (ibid. 18:21). Evil speech can deny one the eternal bliss of the Next World. One who seeks to heal his tongue of this terrible malady should partake of the tree of life that is Torah. At the same time, he must be on guard to avoid repeating past sins. This can be likened to a person who is being treated for food poisoning. It is not enough to take the necessary medicines; one must also be careful to avoid eating more contaminated food. The Talmud further states that immersion in Torah study is itself a preventive measure against speaking loshon hora. As Scripture states, “For man was born to toil” (Iyov 5:7). The Talmud (Sanhedrin 99b) understands “toil” as a reference to speech, specifically the speech of Torah study. The Talmud is teaching us that man’s tongue differs from his other limbs in a very important way. Use of man’s other limbs requires energy. If man is lazy, his limbs will not be put to maximum use. Such is not the case with the tongue. Man need not overcome any innate laziness to engage in conversation. To the contrary, he is naturally bent toward speech and it is to refrain from speech which requires effort. Thus do the Sages state that “man was born to toil” refers to the toil of speech. It is for the toil of Torah study that man was born. However, man has free choice to decide what the nature of his speech will be. If he will not use his natural inclination toward speech for the study of Torah, then inevitably he will speak other matters and will transgress the laws of forbidden speech.

Hebrew follows English ??"? EMBRACING OUR SOLDIERS AT OZ VeGAON It’s winter in the Judean hills, south of Jerusalem, and it's freezing cold. It’s the middle of the night. There is a place in Gush Etzion where our soldiers can come for a hot drink 24/7 – the Oz VeGaon Nature Reserve, above the Gush Etzion junction. Watch the short video of our soldiers: https://www.jgive.com/new/en/usd/donation-targets/50080 Since the establishment of Oz VeGaon in 2014, in memory of Gil-ad, Eyal, and Naftali, the three teenagers killed by terrorists, Oz VeGaon has become a thriving educational and Zionist center, attracting thousands and strengthening our connection with the Land of Israel. IDF soldiers and security forces serving in the region come to visit the Coffee Corner at Oz VeGaon every day of the week, day and night, where they can enjoy a light break in preparation for their next mission. During the week, we provide hot and cold drinks and snacks, and on Shabbat mornings the soldiers are invited to join our Kiddush for kugel, cake and drinks. Oz VeGaon also has an air-conditioned tent for soldiers with a kitchenette and refrigerator. All this is done thanks to your donations. https://www.jgive.com/new/en/usd/donation-targets/50080 This is our small way of expressing all our love and appreciation to our soldiers and security forces, who devote their lives to keep us safe!

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON Lesson of the Serpent The first slander ever spoken was uttered by the Serpent who, through cunning and deceit, prevailed upon Adam and Eve to partake of the Tree of Knowledge. “The serpent said to the woman, ‘You will surely not die [by partaking of it]; for God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad’” (Bereishis 3:4-5). R’ Yehoshua of Siknin said in R’ Levi’s name: “The serpent began speaking slander of his Creator, saying, ‘He [God] ate of this tree and created this world. He therefore ordered you not to eat thereof so you will not create other worlds, for every craftsman hates his competitors’ ” (Bereishis Rabbah 19:4). The result of this slander was the decree of death upon mankind. As for the serpent, it was punished measure for measure. “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will pound your head, and you will bite his heel” (Bereishis 3:15). The serpent caused death, therefore man seeks to kill him. The serpent claimed that God felt threatened by man and had enmity for him, therefore man hates the venomous serpent who seeks to do him harm. And so it is with the gossipmonger. As people become aware of his wicked nature, they come to loathe him and keep their distance from him, lest he find cause to speak evil of them.

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON-Day 155
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON The Blessing and the Curse The serpent was cursed, “... upon your belly you shall go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life” (Bereishis 3:14). Similarly, the gossipmonger is punished with poverty, as stated in Sefer HaKaneh. I am truly amazed by the fact that people who regularly speak evil of others nevertheless do not hesitate to request blessings and segulos (auspicious omens) from tzaddikim for success in earning a livelihood. Do they expect a blessing to outweigh the strength of their sinful ways? The Torah states, “Accursed is one who strikes his fellow stealthily” (Devarim 27:24), which the Sages interpret as a curse upon one who speaks loshon hora. This curse was uttered in the presence of the entire Jewish people, who collectively answered “Amen” to its pronouncement. Can the blessing of even a tzaddik outweigh the power of this curse? Would such a person seek my advice for material blessing, I would tell him to be exceedingly careful to avoid the sin of loshon hora. In this way, he will merit the blessing, “Blessed is one who does not strike his fellow stealthily” (see Sotah 32b). Additionally, he should avoid any form of robbery, usury, or any other act that might result in another’s monetary loss. Such zealousness will surely bring blessing to one’s endeavors.

Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo on Parashat Teruma: On the Tabernacle, Silence, and Prayer
Many commentators wrestle with the connection between the command to build the Tabernacle (Mishkan) and the preceding Sin of the Golden Calf. In his essay on Parashat Teruma, Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo explains the nature of the Sin of the Golden Calf, which leads us to understand the Mishkan and its place in Judaism. This, in turn, gives us a fresh understanding on prayer and man’s place as he approaches God in prayer. Read Rabbi Cardozo's essay here: https://www.cardozoacademy.org/thoughtstoponder/parashat-terumah-on-the-tabernacle-silence-and-prayer/ **Look out for Rabbi Cardozo’s new book on Shemot - Exodus, another volume in the "Cardozo on the Parashah" series, which includes more essays on the weekly Torah portion.** Shabbat Shalom, The Team at the David Cardozo Academy Subscribe to Rabbi Cardozo's Thoughts to Ponder: https://www.cardozoacademy.org/ Regards, Rochie Hurwitz

Everything you wanted to know about Mizmor 119 of Tehillim – free Zoom lecture this Tuesday!
This lecture is part of a series every Tuesday until April 13; see the details of this week’s shiur below. The Narrative of Sefer Tehillim - with Rabbi Dr. Beni Gesundheit Torah in Motion and 929 present a 30-part series, every Tuesday at 7:15pm Israel time. The classes are FREE and run for one hour. Registration details, source sheets and recordings of previous classes can be found here: https://www.tehillim.org.il/en/courses/929-tehillim-course/ This week’s shiur: Mizmor 119: Structure, Meaning and Context 176 Verses – Identifying the Narrative of the Longest Mizmor in Tehillim This Mizmor praises the Torah in a seemingly monotonous, repetitive 8-fold alphabetic order. Is this merely a long collection of reiterative verse? Why is it placed between the Egyptian Hallel and the collection of Shir Hamaalot? The contextual interpretation (illustrated throughout the course) will be applied to identify the narrative and messages of this long mizmor (comprising 22 units of 8 verses). Additionally, the perfect positioning of Mizmor 119 between the Egyptian Hallel (113-118) and the Shirei Hamaalot (120-135) will be addressed, as will its correlation with the beginning and end of the entire book of Tehillim. Regards, The Tehillim.org.il Team Regards, Rochie Hurwitz
