Day 36 – Obvious Implications
?
There is a form of avak loshon hora that can result from one’s keeping the laws of forbidden speech.? If one says that he is reluctant to discuss a particular individual so as to avoid speaking loshon hora, he is, in effect, communicating
that he knows something negative about that person.
?
“I’d rather not discuss So-and-so,” is avak loshon hora.
?
When faced with such a situation, a person must either attempt to divert the conversation to another topic or indicate that he does not know any pertinent information about the person under discussion.

Sefer Ma’alos HaMiddos continues:
?
When Hashem rewards the wicked in this world for whatever good they have done [reserving their punishment for the World to Come], He grants them wealth, property, longevity, honor, and other benefits — but He does not grant them tranquility, as it is written,
“ ‘There is no peace,’ says my God, ‘for the wicked’ ” (Yeshayahu 57:21). Conversely, peace is a reward reserved for the righteous, as it is written, “And the deed of righteousness will be [rewarded with] peace” (ibid. 32:17).
?
It is through [one’s ways of] peace and brotherhood that others are inspired to repent and draw near to the One Above, as it is written, “I create fruit of the lips: ‘Peace, peace, for far and near,’ says HASHEM, ‘and I shall heal him’ ” (ibid. 57:19).
?
Peace is precious, for regarding all but one of the journeys and encampments in the Wilderness, the Torah writes “they journeyed” and “they encamped” in the plural form, symbolizing the strife that plagued them. It is when the Jews arrived at Sinai that the
Torah states: And Israel camped there opposite the mountain (Shemos 19:2), with the verb “and he camped” in the singular.? “Said the Holy One, Blessed is He: ‘The moment when they shall receive the Torah has arrived’ ” (Vayikra Rabbah 9:9), for as long as
peace dwelled amongst them, the Divine Presence dwelled amongst them. Thus it is written, “He [God] became King over Jeshurun when the numbers of the nation were gathered — the tribes of Israel in unity” (Devarim 33:5). When is God Israel’s King in the fullest
sense, and when does His Presence dwell among them? — when they are united.
?
Precious is peace, for it is through peace that the world endures, as the Sages state (Avos?1:18): “The
world endures on three things — justice, truth and peace, as it is said, ‘Truth and the verdict of peace are you to adjudicate in your gates’ ” (Zechariah 8:16). |

I posted this here in February, and I got a lot of people asking about it. Anyone who is still interested can contact me and I'll send you the contact info for this guy, who does house calls.?
He speaks English.
Kol tov.
My wife told me I don't spend time or money on self-care. I think she said that because she does invest in self-care:? she joined a gym, attends dance classes, etc, and she feels guilty about the cost.?
So, to help her feel better, and maybe because she had a good point, I arranged to get a pedicure.?
I found someone who makes house calls. He advertised that he treats calluses, corns, fungus, and ingrown toenail, as well as cutting nails. That was what it said in the English version. The Hebrew version also added "Heimishe".?I arranged for him to come to my office, which was more convenient for me than my home.?
The pedicurist turned out to be a young Charedi man, honest, good-natured, competent and efficient. He also answered my many questions and gave me some good advice regarding foot-care. The cost was less than I'd expected.?
This happened about three weeks ago and I kept meaning to post a recommendation. I won't post his contact information here but if you write to me I'll forward it to you.?
This is for men only. But if a woman wants to give this as a present to her husband or other relative, I think it would make a nice gift.?

Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) gives us a framework for understanding ourselves in a deep way and being able to work with what we uncover so our lives can improve. This leads to changes which are easy to make as well as less inner conflict and self-criticism.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In this free 90-minute hands-on workshop you will:
?Learn the basics of the Internal Family Systems therapy model
?Get to know a part of yourself through a guided intuitive drawing exercise
?Have a chance to ask your own questions about this way of working
?Receive resources and tools to do your own inner exploration.?

We are pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, May 20 we will present the multi-award-winning, highly acclaimed film Marty.?
Marty was nominated for EIGHT Academy Awards and won four including Best Picture of 1955 and Best Actor for Ernest Borgnine. In addition to winning the Oscar for Best Picture, the film enjoyed international success. It won the first Palme d’Or, the highest prize awarded the Best Feature Film at the Cannes Film Festival, the most prestigious film festival in the world. It is one of only four movies to win both the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Palme d’Or. Marty was deemed “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” and selected for preservation in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry.
Ernest Borgnine is magnificent as a 34-year-old, socially awkward Bronx butcher, pressured by his mother and community to get married. He is the last of seven siblings to remain unmarried. He has given up on ever meeting a woman. And then he meets Clara…
Borgnine’s performance is one for the ages. This film is a cinematic classic. It is a movie that makes you wish they still made movies like this.
The Movie Matinee is at 2:00. The film is 1? hours in length.?
There will be a brief introduction of the film, a short talk and discussion after the screening. There will be an essay about the movie provided to attendees.?
There will be refreshments. No reservations are required.?
Beit Knesset Hanassi is located at 24 Ussishkin Street. The admission is 20 shekels for members of the shul and 30 shekels for non-members.
If you can please bring the exact change, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Not Blood but Service Warms
?
The Kobriner Rabbi said: "A general who had been an officer for over fifty years once met the king. The monarch greeted him with a friendly smile, and said: 'Are you in good health, General? Does your blood still warm you?'
"The old general replied: 'No, your majesty, my blood does not warm me, but service does."
"Comment is superfluous," said the Kobriner.

Day 33 – Negative Allusions
?
There are times when a speaker makes a positive statement about a person and intends it as such, but negative and harmful information can be inferred from his words.? The Torah would not consider one who does this to be a holech rachil, peddler of gossip, since
both his intent and his words are clearly sincere and positive.
?
Rabbinically, however, this too is prohibited, under a category referred to as avak loshon hora, the “dust” of loshon hora, which is spread by way of carelessness.
?
A common form of avak loshon hora is where one sincerely praises another person, but in doing so, alludes to a shortcoming of that individual.
?
“Who would have believed that he would have come this far?” clearly suggests something negative about the person.? Such a statement can cause the person embarrassment when said in his presence, and can be harmful to him even when he is not present.? Hence,
it is forbidden.
?

When Foes Become Friends
?
Sefer Ma’alos HaMiddos continues:
?
The Talmud states that no man —even a gentile in the marketplace —ever preceded Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai in extending a greeting of peace (Berachos 17a).
?
Our Sages taught: “Initiate a greeting of peace to every person” (Avos?4:20). What is meant by “every
person”? Even if you know that someone bears you ill will, nevertheless, initiate a greeting of peace toward him. This will awaken a feeling of love for you within him. And even if he will not humble himself to make peace with you, God will humble him before
you [so that he will not cause you any harm]. An allusion to this is found in Scripture, “But if he does not make peace with you ... HASHEM shall deliver him into your hand” (Devarim?20:12-13).
?
Illustrative of the above is the story of David and Shaul. David sought peace with Shaul, while Shaul, far from being appeased, pursued David with the intent of harming him. Thus did David say, “I am peace —but when I speak, they are for war” (Tehillim 120:7).
In two separate episodes, Hashem gave Shaul over into David’s hands [and David could have easily killed him]. Yet, it did not enter David’s mind to cause Shaul any harm, for man must love peace and pursue it. |
