SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM ? Day 37 – Constructive Negatives ? Below we will see that in certain situations one may – and sometimes must – provide people with negative information that is important for them to know, either to avoid being harmed or for some other constructive purpose. ? Whenever faced with such a situation, one must explain why he is saying something that would ordinarily be prohibited, so that the listener understands that the prohibitions regarding loshon hora are not being transgressed.? To say anything that the listener thinks is loshon hora when, in fact, it is not, constitutes speaking avak loshon hora 1. ? ? Footnotes and Background ? 1.?????? Avak Loshon Hora – Lit. Dust of Loshon Hora, meaning that you are coming close to transgressing the issur (sin) of Loshon Hora, evil speech. ? ? ? SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON ? Love Peace and Pursue It ? Sefer Ma’alos HaMiddos concludes its discussion of the quality of peace with the following: ? Our Sages state: Peace is precious, for one who erases a single letter of God’s Holy Name transgresses a Torah prohibition, yet in order that peace be restored between husband and wife, the Torah commands, “The Kohen shall inscribe these curses on a scroll and erase it into the bitter waters” (Bamidbar?5:23)1. [The Scriptural verses written upon the scroll contain the Name of God.] Said the Holy One, Blessed is He, “Let My Name, which was written in sanctity, be erased upon the water!” (Vayikra Rabbah?9:15). ? Our Sages (ibid.) further state: Peace is precious, for all the good blessings and consolations that the Holy One, Blessed is He, brings upon Israel conclude with peace. The blessings of the evening Shema conclude with, “Who spreads the shelter of peace.” The Shemoneh Esrei concludes with, “He Who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace on us...” Bircas Kohanim concludes with, “May HASHEM... establish peace with you.” ? Therefore, my son, be zealous regarding this trait. Love peace and pursue it, for there is infinite reward for those who do so. ? 1.?This verse is from the Torah portion dealing with the laws of the sotah, a married woman who is suspected of immorality and is forbidden to live with her husband until she undergoes the procedure detailed in the Torah. The sotah’s drinking of the bitter waters in which the scroll’s verses are erased determines whether or not she sinned; if, indeed, she had been guilty of immorality, she would miraculously die a gruesome death upon drinking the water. If she would not die, her innocence would be proven and she would be permitted to live with her husband once again. Dedications and Sponsorships Do you know someone who needs a refuah shleima?

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM ? 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 SHMIRAS HALOSHON ? Spiritual Blessings ? 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).
