Day 161¨C Ignore and Rebuke
?
As in the case of loshon hora, it is forbidden to listen to rechilus spoken by one¡¯s parents, siblings or spouse. Familial closeness is not a reason to share information that promotes strife and ill will among Jews.
???????????
When subjected to gossip, one is required not only to distance himself from the conversation, but must also reprove the speaker for violating a Torah commandment. Only when rebuke will cause the gossiper to speak with greater malice should one not offer rebuke.
???????????
If one¡¯s employer or colleagues are prone to gossip, one must ignore their conversations. (One is not required to offer reproof if this might cause him to lose his job. Fulfillment of a positive commandment [such as the mitzvah to offer reproof] does not require
a monetary risk of such magnitude. However, one should attempt to voice disapproval at some point so as not to be guilty of chanufah (false flattery.)
???????????
In all situations, the listener must do his best to stop the gossip ¨C perhaps by tactfully changing the subject.

Daily Pursuit
?
?It is imperative that one uproot a complacent attitude toward certain mitzvos. Doing so is crucial if one is to fulfill his obligations toward his Creator and toward his fellow man.
?
¡°Hillel used to say: If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?¡¯¡¯ (Avos?1:14).
If Hillel was wont to repeat this maxim, surely it must contain teachings which are fundamental to one¡¯s Divine service and purpose in life. In fact, Hillel is awakening us to approach Torah and mitzvos with alacrity and zeal, each and every day.
?
When a man is seen refraining from day-to-day involvement with earning a livelihood, the logical question is: How does he support his family? A variety of possibilities exists:
?
1) He may own a factory which is staffed by dependable workers, so that periodic involvement on his part is sufficient.
2) He may be a highly skilled professional who earns enough in a few hours of work to provide his family with their weekly needs.
3) He may be a merchant who does business only at the regional market, which is open for a few weeks at a time at regular intervals during the year.
?
In the above-cited Mishnah, Hillel teaches that with regard to Divine service none of the above-mentioned possibilities exists. Nothing less than daily pursuit of spiritual accomplishment will suffice.

Drinking for a Month
?
The Sachatzover Rabbi was accustomed to relate this story on Purim: "In Cracow there lived a drunkard who was in the habit of drinking more than usual two weeks before and two weeks after Purim. He gave the following reason: Haman was no fool. He understood that it was not possible to find all the Jews in a single day for slaughter. It would require at least a month to ferret them out of their hiding places. Hence his original plan was to devote the entire four weeks of Adar for this purpose. Later it ocurred to him that if his plan miscarried, and the Jews would have the occassion to celebrate their deliverance, they would enjoy a month's festivity. This Haman could not bear, and he therefore issued an order for a single day's execution. For this reason, I deem it proper to defeat Haman's evil plan to limit our enjoyment, and I celebrate the whole month."

Day 160 ¨C The Subject
?
It is forbidden to listen to gossip when it involves others, and even more so when it involves how others dislike the listener himself. (When there is a constructive purpose in the listener knowing such information, listening
may be permissible. This will be discussed later.) It is forbidden to listen to accounts of how others have spoken negatively about one¡¯s family members or friends. Such listening usually serves no constructive purpose and causes the listener to dislike the
person mentioned.

Two Tablets
?
For a Torah scroll to be kosher and endowed with proper sanctity, it cannot be missing a single letter. Even an imperfection in one letter can render a scroll invalid. In a similar vein, a Jew is considered a believer and is worthy of a portion in the World
to Come only if he believes that every letter contained in the Torah is God given. If, Heaven forfend, one denies the authenticity of even a single letter in the Torah, it is as if he has denied the authenticity of the entire Torah.
?
We are all ma¡¯aminim b¡¯nei ma¡¯aminim, believers, sons of believers. All of us believe that every letter of the Torah was received by Moshe from Hashem. How then is it possible for a person to approach even a single mitzvah without proper reverence? This is
not an indication of faulty belief; rather, it points to habitual transgression of a commandment which results in one viewing the forbidden as something permissible: ¡°Once a man has been guilty of transgression and repeats it, it becomes to him like something
permissible¡± (Kiddushin 40b).
?
The Torah states: ¡°He [Hashem] gave Moshe the two Tablets of Testimony¡± (Shemos 31:18). The Torah omits the vav from the word Tablets, so that the word can be read as if it is the singular Tablet. Rashi (citing Tanchuma) writes that this teaches that the Tablets
were identical in dimension with supernatural precision so that they appeared as if they were one.
?
The commandments inscribed upon the first Tablet concern man¡¯s relationship with God, while those on the second concern man¡¯s relationship with his fellow. The Tablets were made identical to teach that all mitzvos are vital and it is the totality of their spiritual
light within a single individual that produces the man of spiritual perfection. |

Urgent Help Needed ¨C A Purim Mitzvah to Help Us Move
Dear Friends
As Purim approaches, we are reminded of the importance of helping one another in times of need, bringing joy to others, and fulfilling the mitzvah of Matanot L¡¯Evyonim (gifts to those in need). I never imagined I would find myself in a situation where I needed to reach out for help like this, but unfortunately, I have no choice.
Our home has become unsafe due to severe mold growth, spreading along the ceiling and walls and even damaging a cherished painting by my late grandfather. It's got into our wardrobes and I fear i will have to replace all my clothing. The worst part is how it¡¯s affecting our health¡ªespecially my mother, who has asthma and is struggling to breathe. Staying here is simply not an option anymore, and we must move as soon as possible.
I am doing everything I can¡ªre-doing my websites, selling my artwork, listing items for sale, and exploring every possibility¡ªbut we need urgent financial help to secure a safe home. In the spirit of Purim, a time when we celebrate Hashem¡¯s hidden miracles and the power of community kindness, I am asking for any support you can offer.
Ways you can help:
? Tzedakah: If you can contribute any amount, it would mean the world to us. ([Insert payment details or crowdfunding link])
? Buy My Artwork: I am offering my handmade cushion covers, paintings, and jewelry at special prices to raise funds. Buy one of my items in my
? "You can also support us by purchasing a copy of our books on Amazon. Every sale helps us move closer to our goal while sharing meaningful content with others
????? ???? ?? I have been revising my book, it should be available for sale again soon, Bezrat HaShem
? Share this Message: If you know someone who might be able to help, please forward this email.
Another way to help is by joining our Patreon community, where your support will not only assist us in moving to a safe home but also enable us to continue creating meaningful art and resources. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference!
or If you know of any other google groups, please let me know.
Even a small act of kindness can create a Purim miracle for us. Thank you for any support you can give, and may Hashem bless you with Simcha, Bracha, and Yeshuot.
With gratitude,
Shoshanah Shear

Day 159 ¨C The Prohibition
?
As in the case of loshon hora, one must do his best to ignore someone who is about to begin or has already begun to speak rechilus.? If someone begins talking of how one person has wronged another, to willfully listen as he continues
to speak is, according the the Chofetz Chaim, in violation of ¡°Do not accept a false report¡± (Shemos 23:1).? Just as it is lowly to speak gossip, so too it is not befitting a respectable human being to listen to gossip.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
The Whole of Man
?
In summation: One must strive to fulfill each and every mitzvah, be it between man and God or between man and his fellow, for each is an expression of Hashem¡¯s will. Thus does the Torah state: ¡°Apply your hearts to all the words... with which you are to instruct
your children, to be careful to perform all the words of this Torah. For it is not an empty thing for you, for it is your life...¡¯¡¯ (Devarim 32:46-47). Let no one think that even a single mitzvah is extraneous, a matter left to those who seek exceptional refinement
of character or spiritual attainment. For it is your life. No part of the human body is extraneous; each serves an important function without which the body would be unsound. Similarly, each mitzvah provides its own unique spirituality and is vital to the
soul¡¯s well-being.
?
Thus do we conclude the reading of the Book of Koheles: ¡°The sum of the matter when all is considered: Fear God and keep His commandments, for that is the whole of man¡± (Koheles?12:13).
To be the adam hashaleim, man of spiritual perfection, one must fear God so that he will refrain from doing that which the Torah prohibits, and he must keep His commandments, that is, all positive commandments. That is the whole of man.

The Upright Sheaf
?
The Gerer Rabbi said: "The twelve months are the same as the number of Jacob's sons; each month is a symbol of one of the tribes. The month of Adar represents Joseph, and in asmuch as two tribes are descended from him, we have two months of Adar in leap years. Haman held the same high position as Joseph, but when he wished to annihilate the Jews in the month of Joseph, the latter's dream was fulfilled: 'my sheaf arose and also remained standing uprght' (Genesis 37:7)."

The Sanctity of Purim
?
Rabbi Samuel Abba of Slovitz said: "There is a saying that when other memorable days are no longer observed, Purim will still be commemorated. (Piyut from Shabbat Zachor). This means that all our festivals are demonstrations of God's miracles, but Purim is in commemoration of a natural event. Though we may not merit it that God deliver us in a miraculous manner, nevertheless we may still hope for aid in a natural way."
