For Your Own Benefit

A youth came to the Lekhivitzer and asked to be taught how to serve the Lord. The rabbi replied; "The Lord does not need your service. Do we not say in the Neilah Amidah: 'And if man be righteous, what can he give Thee?' What you may properly ask me is to instruct you how to serve yourself. You, not the Lord, will receive benefit from your mitzvoth and your Torah."

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM
Day 93 – Admonishing the Speaker
?
The commandment, you shall reprove your fellow (Vayikra 19:17), requires a Jew to inform a sinner that his behavior is improper, and attempt to convince him to mend his ways. In voicing his disapproval, one must be prepared to endure embarrassment and insult and should continue to protest. Only in a case where one knows that his reproof would cause the sinner to react by committing more serious offenses is he to refrain from speaking up.
?
(Reproof must be administered with respect and understanding, and should be done in private whenever possible – see Rashi to Vayikra 19:17).
?
Generally speaking, one is required to interrupt and reprove the speaker of loshon hora, and do his best to ensure that he put a halt to his sinful speech. As mentioned, this does not apply when the speaker would likely react by expressing yet greater negativity towards the person he was speaking about, as a way of defending his sinful talk.
?
Another situation where reproof would be out of place is when:
?
The speaker does not realize that the information he is conveying is loshon hora, or is totally unaware that loshon hora is prohibited by the Torah; and
it is obvious that the speaker will continue speaking loshon hora even after being told that this is forbidden.
?
In such a case, reproof would transform the speaker from an inadvertent sinner into one who sins intentionally. Hence, it is better not to reprove him.
?
?

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?

Choose Your Company
?
One should avoid association with a given group unless he knows that its members are careful to avoid forbidden speech. If circumstances demand such association, one should limit it to a minimum, and maintain silence whenever possible. Even one sinner can ruin an entire group and make it necessary to avoid being in its company.
?
Sefer Rosh HaGivah writes:
?
Be alert, my son, regarding that which King Shlomo said: ”In the ears of a fool do not speak, lest he disparage the wisdom of your words” (Mishlei 23:9). Beware of a gathering of one hundred men among whom is found even one scoffer or fool, and certainly if [one of the fools] is a wise man in his own eyes, for he is the quintessential fool ...1 Strengthen yourself to sit in silence at such a gathering, do not discuss anything at all. Even if you will speak all sorts of wisdom, they [the scoffers and fools] will best you and grant you disgrace, as it is written,”Iniquity appears and disgrace follows” (ibid. 11:2).
?
If you wish to converse [at such a gathering] with a man like yourself, be careful that your words not reach their [the scoffers’] ears. Thus does Scripture advise:”In the ears of a fool do not speak,’’ rather than, ”Do not speak with a fool.’’
?
  1. See Mishlei 26:12. A fool who considers himself wise has no hope of acquiring wisdom, and thus is the greatest fool of all (Metzudos ad loc.).

Day 94 – Group Reproof

?
We have seen that one must reprove the speaker of loshon hora even if it is highly unlikely that the reproof will be effective.
?
When several people are involved in a discussion that includes loshon hora, one must speak up and caution them that what they are discussing is forbidden. However, unlike the case of an individual who speaks loshon hora, if the people ignore reproof, one should not persist in his rebuke unless he feels that his words might ultimately achieve a positive result. In an unreceptive group setting, it is wise to refrain from excessive reproof.
?
An exception to this rule is when one finds himself in a community where the prohibition of loshon hora has long been disregarded. Widespread disregard calls for more than ordinary reproof. It demands persistent protest, calling for an awareness of the severity of speaking loshon hora, and knowledge of what constitutes loshson hora.

?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON

?
Step-by-Step

?
One who seeks to attain the quality of shmiras haloshon should use the very opposite approach of the gossiper. The gossiper makes it his habit to sit among groups involved in conversation, in the hope that he will hear some bit of information that he can ridicule or spread to others. The gossiper is forever in search of ”the latest news” in his town, so that he will have no lack of material to relate all day and night.
?
The quality of shmiras haloshon should be attained gradually. The first step is to accustom oneself to avoid groups involved in idle conversation and to train oneself not to inquire about the latest gossip. One should train himself, little by little, until he reaches the point where he does not even want to be informed of any gossip. With the passage of time, Hashem will help him so that shmiras haloshon will become a part of his very nature. He will find it incredible that others can transgress the sin of speaking loshon hora, which to him has become something repulsive, like anything else which the Torah prohibits.

Day 96 – Whom to Rebuke
?
In situations where reproof is required (see Day 93), one is obligated to interrupt even his own parent who is speaking loshon hora and respectfully explain that he or she should not be speaking in this manner.? A rav, as well, should not be allowed to speak loshon hora.? However, it is disrespectful to accuse a rav of speaking loshon hora.? Instead, one should ask the rav for assistance in understanding why it was permissible for him to make a given statement.
?
Children are not included in our obligation to reprove a fellow Jew who has sinned.? However, parents, as well as teachers, are obligated in the mitzvah of chinuch, educating their charges in proper mitzvah observance.? Thus, parents and teachers must train children from an early age to refrain from speaking or listening to loshon hora.
?

?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON

?
Judge Others Favorably
?
The Torah states:”With righteousness shall you judge your fellow” (Vayikra 19:15), which our Sages interpret as a commandment to give one’s fellow the benefit of the doubt (Shevuos 30a). This precept is among those “whose fruit one enjoys in this world and whose principal reward is preserved for the World to Come” (Shabbos 127a). Development of this trait is crucial for perfecting the quality of Shmiras haloshon.
?
To give one’s fellow the benefit of the doubt is to decide in one’s mind that someone who is said to have committed a misdeed did so either unwillfully, out of ignorance, or correctly (i.e. that, in fact, a
sin has not been committed). When the report does not lend itself to any of the above interpretations, one should consider the possibility that the speaker added or omitted details which completely alter the nature of the report.
?
To judge others favorably is also to bear in mind the teaching: ”Do not judge your fellow until you have reached his place” (Avos 2:5).
?
The more one accustoms himself to judge others favorably, the less he will transgress the sin of loshon hora.

I loved being so close to the Kinneret which we saw for a long time and because of the glass painting which was such fun we all have

Dear Devora,

The davening trip to kivrei tzadikim was amazing. The rebbetzin's lectures combined with fascinating stories were stimulating and inspirational. The lunch was truly gourmet (as advertised) and the glasspainting workshop was relaxing and fun. There was a feeling of camaraderie among the wonderful ladies who came.

It was an inspirational and memorable day.

I appreciate all the thought, organization and hard work that went into this.

Thank you

Rivky

Dear Devora,

Thank you so much for a most special trip!!?

This was my first time coming on the trip (I hope the first of many IY"H!), and it was an incredible experience.

Your mother gave such depth to the tefilla, it was a transformative experience.?

The lunch was just amazing (as in- AMAZING), and the workshop was really fun!! It also broke up the day so nicely, a light activity in the middle.?

It was also really nice to meet so many new faces.

I'm carrying the day with me, and please let me know about the next one!

Thank you again,

Day 95 – Proper Reaction
?
Based on the previous rules, it is clear that upon hearing loshon hora, one should promptly interrupt the speaker and reprimand him for his words. In a case where doing so would cause the speaker embarrassment (i.e. others are present), it is preferable that one tactfully change the subject, thus preventing the further speaking of loshon hora, and offer reproof later (in private).
?
If one finds himself unable to change the subject, he should walk away. While incapable of fulfilling his obligation to reprove, one must, nevertheless, avoid transgressing the sin of listening to loshon hora. If one feels uncomfortable leaving, the least he should do is try his best to ignore what is being said, and use facial expressions to show disapproval. Certainly, he should not appear as though he is enjoying the conversation.
?
One must train himself to defend his values, to be more concerned with truth than with his personal pride. Ultimately, one will find that the less he fears scorn and derision of scoffers, the more his self esteem will grow and his stature will grow in the eyes of others as well.
?
?

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Silencing the Gossipmongers
?
It is a proven fact that to restrain oneself from speaking and listening to loshon hora is difficult for only the first few weeks. As others come to realize that an individual will not speak or listen to loshon hora, mockery or other forbidden speech, they will refrain from relating such talk to him, and will peddle their ”wares” elsewhere. They will come to understand that such talk does not raise their esteem in this man’s eyes; to the contrary, he considers them nothing more than gossipmongers and scorners. He will hardly have to guard himself from hearing loshon hora, for the gossipmongers themselves will avoid telling their stories in his presence, lest he belittle their words before others who are present.
?
What is needed is an initial firm resolve to acquire this sacred quality. Regarding such spiritual striving do our Sages say, ”One who reflects upon his ways in this world merits and sees salvation from the Holy One, Blessed is He” (Moed Katan 5a).
