Days 42,43: Preconditions

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

12 Cheshvan
SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM

?
Day 42 ¨C Parameters
?
The most common constructive purposes which justify speaking negatively about a person fall under four categories:
?
1) To help the person about whom one is speaking (e.g. to discuss a person¡¯s faults with someone else in order to help the person improve).
?
2) To help those who are being adversely affected by the person¡¯s behavior:
?
a) Providing help for people physically, psychologically or financially victimized by him;
?
b) Protecting people from falling victim to his behavior in the future¡ªincluding warning the unsuspecting who are seriously considering entering into an unhealthy social or business relationship with him.
?
3) To help put an end to a dispute in which the person is involved and which threatens to divide the community.
?
4) To help others learn from the person¡¯s mistakes.
?
?

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Affliction of the Soul
?
The fact that tzaraas is a spiritual malady which afflicts the soul [aside from afflicting the body] is stated in the Midrash:
?
¡°One who guards his mouth and tongue, guards his soul from tribulations. (Mishlei 21:23)¡± ?¡°His soul from tribulations¡± can be read homiletically, ¡°One who guards his mouth and tongue guards his soul from tzaraas¡± (Yalkut Shimoni, Parashas Metzora).
?
Thus, one who is in the habit of speaking loshon hora should bemoan the state of his soul. Though Hashem has mercy on him and does not reveal his disgrace in this world, such will not be the case in the World to Come. There, the shame of his malady will be revealed to all. Alone will he sit Above, outside the camp of Israel ¡ª unless he repented properly before departing this world.

Day 43: Preconditions

????????????
The fact that a situation falls under one of the previously listed categories does not necessarily mean that discussing it constitutes constructive speech.? No less than 7 conditions must be met before a critical statement about an individual may be said.
?
Condition #1: The first set of conditions deals with verification of facts. It is absolutely forbidden to make any critical statement about a person on the basis of information obtained through hearsay.? Only through first-hand information may one assume that a Jew¡¯s character or behavior is wanting.? An exception would be where one seeks to protect someone from potential harm; such instances would permit one to pass on second-hand information.? This will be discussed later.
?
Condition #2: Even if one has witnessed seemingly unacceptable behavior, he must not hastily pass judgement on what has occurred.? An incident taken out of context can be terribly misleading, both as a reflection on an individual¡¯s character as well as in determining who is right in a dispute between parties.? Circumstances must be carefully investigated before one can be sure that he understands a situation correctly.? Above all, before concluding that a person has, in fact, transgressed Jewish law, one must be knowledgeable of the relevant halachos.
?
?

?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON

?
Poverty

?
Above, we discussed the question of how it is that in our day those who habitually speak loshon hora are not afflicted with tzaraas. Another answer to this is found in Sefer Davar Kedushah, who cites Sefer HaKaneh:
?
The sufferings of poverty take the place of tzaraas, for by being dependent upon others for survival, the poor man becomes rid of any arrogance ¡ª a prime cause of loshon hora.1 Moreover, the poor man is actually afraid to speak disparagingly of others, lest they learn of his remarks and cease to assist him.
?
Tikkunei Zohar, as well, states that this sin can lead to poverty. Therefore, one who seeks to avoid material strain should be zealous in shmiras haloshon.

The Hermit

Said the Medzibozer, commenting upon the utterance: "And be not wicked by yourself" (Ethics 2:18): A man has been given his life to contribute his share in the improvement of the world. If you are a hermit, avoiding the society of your fellows, you are inclined to wickedness."

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM????????????????????????????????
Day 41 ¨C Toeles ¡ª Constructive Purpose
?
?
Based on the rule that one must endure social and financial loss rather than speak loshon hora, it would seem that there should be no halachic justification to speak loshon hora for a constructive purpose (l¡¯toeles). Why then does the halachah permit constructive statements to be made?
?
We have noted that all forms of loshon hora fall under one of two categories:
?
1) Derogatory statements;
2) Statements which have the potential to cause the subject harm.
Derogatory speech was explained as being lowly in that the speaker focuses on the negative aspects of someone¡¯s character or behavior.
?
There are times when discussing someone¡¯s shortcomings is clearly constructive, and the responsible thing to do.? This is true either: when one is attempting to assist the person he is speaking about, or when he is trying to protect others from that person.? In such cases, though negative traits or actions are being mentioned, the statements made do not constitute loshon hora.? Destructive speech is loshon hora; constructive speech is not.? Similarly, there is no such thing as ¡°constructive rechilus¡± (gossip); a statement can be classified as rechilus only if it is destructive.
?
Nevertheless, the Chofetz Chaim refers to derogatory statements made for a constructive purpose as ¡°loshon hora l¡¯toeles¡± seemingly for lack of a better term.? We, too, have made use of the term ¡°loshon hora (or rechilus) for a constructive purpose¡± at various points in this work.
?
A great deal of sensitivity, objectivity, and knowledge of halachah is required in order to distinguish between genuine constructive speech and what amounts to nothing more than rationalized loshon hora.? The Chofetz Chaim lists several conditions necessary for a statement to be deemed one of toeles, constructive purpose, as opposed to loshon hora.
?
The conditions for a statement to qualify as constructive¡ªsoon to be discussed here¡ªmust be studied carefully before taking the liberty of making a statement that would otherwise be considered loshon hora.? It would also be wise to discuss the matter with a competent rav, as an incorrect decision could result in irreparable harm.
?

?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON

?
To Inspire Repentance

?
God would take note of the metzora¡¯s repentance and would heal him of his affliction. The Kohen would go outside the Israelite Camp to examine the metzora. Having been declared healed by the Kohen, the metzora would begin the purification process, which included the offering of Temple sacrifices, as detailed in the Torah.
?
Having benefited from God¡¯s infinite kindness in being cured of his affliction and restored to a state of taharah (ritual purity), the person would, upon returning home, surely uphold his earlier resolutions. He would beg forgiveness of those he wronged and strive with all his strength to avoid speaking loshon hora in the future. Thus, he would be completely cleansed of his sin.
?
One may wonder why in our day the affliction of tzaraas is not manifest upon those who habitually speak loshon hora. The Chidah offers the following explanation:
?
When God visits punishment upon an individual, He does it for the person¡¯s benefit, to purify him of his sins and to stir him towards repentance. Now, it was only during the Temple era that a metzora could attain taharah (purification). Today, however, when due to our sins there is no Temple, no sacrifice, and no way for the Kohen to perform the other components of the purification process, if God were to afflict a person with tzaraas, he would remain in his impure state for the rest of his life, without any possibility of ridding himself of it. Therefore, in the absence of the Temple, the impurity of this affliction clings only to the soul, but is not manifest on the person¡¯s body.

The Rarity of Holiness

Said the Koretzer: "The learned are fewer in number than the ignorant; still fewer are the righteous; fewest are those who can truly pray. Holiness does not care to leave its heavenly abode for this mundane world, and only a few ardent supplicants can induce it to descend."

Awakening Holiness

Said the Apter: "Holiness has the effect of awakening holiness. It cultivates the better nature of those who observe it. We learn that when the artists who wrought the holy objects for the Tabernacle reported a surplus of materials, Moses did not ordain that no more materials should be brought, but that no more work should be done (Exodus 36:4-6). This was because the people, aroused to a sense of holiness and dedication , could not be restrained from bringing gifts as long as a holy work was being performed."
