The Other's Arguments
?
Said the Apter: "We find that when Abraham spoke in defense of Sodom, he enumerated fifty men, forty five, and so forth (Genesis 18:24-32). The Lord could have replied to him at once that Sodom did not contain a single just man, but He wished to teach a lesson, namely, that permission should be granted to one who argues, to bring out all his points. These should be answered one by one, with patience. It is not fitting that a man should give an abrupt answer immediately in order to silence his adversary."

Day 167– Soliciting Information
?
Not only may one listen to rechilus that is important for him to hear, he may even approach someone and request information that would otherwise be considered rechilus. Obviously, the solicitor must make it clear that his solicitation
is sanctioned by halachah.
?
One must also be careful to request only pertinent information and nothing more. Should the person from whom the information was requested begin relating unnecessary gossip, he should be stopped immediately.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Day after Day
?
Torah is also likened to bread, as it is written, “Come partake of my bread” (Mishlei 9:5). Now, if man does not eat bread for a day or two, he becomes weakened; if he goes a week without bread (or a comparable substitute), he becomes extremely weak and it
is difficult for him to regain the strength that he has lost. This is exactly the way of Torah study, which is sustenance for the soul. If a Jew lets a few days go by without study, his soul becomes weakened; if he lets an entire week slip by, his soul grows
extremely weak.
?
One must be extremely zealous not to allow even a day to pass without Torah study. Such interruptions have a negative impact on the Torah study that will follow, as the Sages state, “If you forsake me [the Torah] for one day, I will forsake you for two” (Yerushalmi
Berachos 9:5).
?
If extenuating circumstances cause a cancellation of one’s daily study session, the student should consider this as “borrowed time” that must be repaid. He should strive to repay his debt quickly, in the way of the Talmudic sage who “borrowed by day and paid
back that night” (Eruvin 65a).
?
As mentioned above, one must ensure that his study sessions not be marked by interruptions. Diligent uninterrupted study causes a spirit of sanctity to become manifest upon the student; such is not the case with study marked by disruption. |

Many Ways to Choose
?
Rabbi Schmelke interperted the saying in Pirkei Avot: Rabbi Yehudah ha-Nasi said: 'Which is the right course that a man should choose for himself? That which he feels to be honorable to himself, and which also brings him honor from mankind.'
?
"Nevertheless, he must not believe that this is the only correct course. He must be prepared to admit that there may be other ways in which other men may take pride and feel to be honorable."

Goodness Through Reason
?
Said the Gerer: "An inclination towards goodness attained through calm reasoning is worth more than an inclination attained through the ecstasy of prayer. The first is rational and lasting; the second contains much untrue imagination, is not enduring, and is prone to lead to pride."

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM
?????????
Day 165 – Constructive Listening
?
Just as it is not lowly to speak (what would otherwise be considered) rechilus for a constructive purpose, so too it is not wrong to listen to rechilus if the listener honestly believes that it is important for him to be aware
of the information. This includes any discussion that could help the listener protect himself from others who plan to harm him, or to protect others from damage about to be inflicted upon them. It is also permissible to listen to information that could be
of help in rectifying damage already done to oneself or others.
?
In these cases, the discussion is not labeled as “gossip”; rather it is constructive speech.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
The Lazy Traveler
?
King David pleaded, “I am a sojourner in the world; hide not Your commandments from me” (Tehillim 119:19). Man is but a sojourner on this earth; the World to Come is his eternal home. Realizing that his days of Torah study were numbered, David begged Hashem
to reveal to him the wisdom inherent in His commandments.
?
Iyov declared, “There is a fixed service-term for man upon earth” (Iyov 7:1). A person’s life-span on this earth is allotted to him with exacting precision. Therefore, one cannot tell himself that he will compensate for having wasted one day by making constructive
use of the next day. Each day is a gift for itself; if squandered, it is lost forever.
?
This can be illustrated with a parable: A man who had been unable to earn a livelihood sailed to a faraway land in the hope of finding some way to provide for his family. He remained there for some twenty years, accomplishing nothing in all that time. Lazy
by nature, he spent his days strolling here and there, surviving on an occasional handout.
?
One day, he was surprised to meet a neighbor from his hometown. “I can’t believe that you’ve spent all these years doing nothing!’’ the neighbor exclaimed. “Didn’t you come here to find a proper livelihood for yourself?’’
?
“Oh, I’m quite aware of that,’’ the man responded, “but I still have plenty of time for that — I’ve only been here twenty years!’’
?
“Have you lost your mind?’’ the neighbor retorted. “Even if you would be a permanent resident of this land, it would be ridiculous for you to have wasted so many years of your life. The facts being what they are make your story most incredible. For you came
to this land temporarily, for the express purpose of providing for your family. How, then, could you have spent so many years accomplishing nothing?!’’
?
Some people spend their younger years accomplishing little spiritually, content to enjoy what they perceive as the “good life’’ in this world. They know that life here is not forever, that it is the next world where the soul lives on eternally. However, they
convince themselves that there will be time in their old age to concern themselves with matters of the spirit. And so, ten, twenty or more years swiftly pass, as the cycle of work and relaxation repeats itself again and again, with little earned for the long
road that all men eventually travel. Those with such an attitude are like the man in our parable who failed to recognize the real purpose of his journey.
?
Let us make the most of our years, days and hours. The potential for accomplishment is without limit. |

Day 166 – Informing the Speaker
?
For one to listen to rechilus within the framework of halachah, it is not sufficient that the listener be justified in paying attention to the information being conveyed; the speaker, too, must have constructive intent. If the
speaker is unaware that the information he is relating is of significance to the listener, then he is guilty of speaking rechilus. The listener, then, is cause for the speaker’s transgression and has violated the prohibition “Before a blind person do not place
a stumbling block” (Vayikra?19:14), which prohibits one from causing another Jew to sin.
?
Thus, it is the responsibility of the listener to explain to the speaker that the information is important for him to hear and is therefore not considered gossip.
?
If the speaker was already in the process of relating the gossip to others when a person to whom the information is relevant appeared on the scene, he would not be guilty of causing the speaker to transgress. Even so, it is proper for the listener to explain
why he is listening, so that the others will realize that he is not transgressing and that he considers their non-constructive listening a sin.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
The Waters of Torah
?
It is clear that through shmiras haloshon one saves himself from transgressing thousands of sins each year — literally. Moreover, in place of these potential sins, one earns for himself thousands of merits.
?
Let us suppose that a given individual begins to exercise caution in matters of speech and thus refrains from speaking (on the average) ten forbidden words per day which he otherwise would have spoken. This means that each year he exercises self-control in
not expressing more than three thousand forbidden words. The Talmud states, “One who sits and does not commit a sin is given reward equivalent to that of one who performs a mitzvah” (Kiddushin 39b). Above, we have cited a Midrash quoted by the Vilna Gaon that
the reward for refraining from speaking the forbidden is beyond the comprehension of angels.
?
For one who has a fixed daily Torah study session, the quality of shmiras haloshon can ensure that his learning is not interrupted by idle chatter. Aside from the sin of speaking loshon hora, the sin of bitul Torah, unwarranted disruption of Torah study, is
most severe. To disrupt one’s Torah learning shows a lack of regard for this greatest of mitzvos and causes one’s learning to be fractured and lack the power and accomplishment of continuous study. In the sphere of Torah study, a half hour plus a half hour
does not equal one hour.
?
Torah study is a prime antidote against the impurity wrought by sin, including that of loshon hora. Sifre (Devarim?11:22)
likens Torah study to the waters of a mikveh, which purify. It follows then that just as the mikveh purifies from an impurity which encompasses the entire person, so too does Torah purify even if one’s being is totally immersed in the morass of sin.
?
However, just as the mikveh purifies only when there is no chatzitzah, interposition, between the person’s body and the water, so too can the purifying effects of Torah elevate the person only when he is totally immersed in its study.
