Warmth and Coolness
?
Said the Tzanzer: "After we are warmed by the glow of our fervent service to the Living God during the High Holidays, we are commanded to find coolness in the Sukkah. After our exhausting labors in the service of the Lord during the Fearsome Days, we are commanded to recuperate by a week's rest in our tent-home."

The Season of Our Joy
?
The Kotzker Rabbi said tha the joyfulness is the outcome of the holiness. Therefore, Sukkoth, coming after Yom Kippur when we become holy and sinless, is called "the Season of Our Joy."

Day 15 – Other Forms of Negativity
?
?
While the Scriptural prohibition against loshon hora applies only to speaking about the living, our Sages prohibit making slanderous remarks about the deceased.
?
It is also forbidden to speak negatively of our beloved land, Eretz Yisrael.? As the Torah relates, the generation that merited to be liberated from Egypt spent forty years in the Wilderness and died there because of?? evil speech concerning the Land ( See Bamidbar chs. 13-14).
?
In truth, it is proper to avoid focusing on the negative unnecessarily even when discussing non-sacred objects.? The early commentators tell of the wise man and his students who came upon the carcass of an animal.? When the students commented on its foul odor, the wise man responded, “But see how white are its teeth!”
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
A Dreadful Scenario
?
Picture the following scenario: A Jew is instructed to enter the Temple of God, stand before the Holy Ark and accuse his fellow Jews of whatever sins he knows them to be guilty of. Without a doubt, even the lowest among us would endanger his own life rather than carry out this dreadful order.
?
Yet people fail to realize that this is exactly what they are doing when they speak loshon hora! As stated in Tanna D’Vei Eliyahu (I, 18:64): “When the wicked speak loshon hora, it ascends before the Throne of Glory...”
?
It is therefore not difficult to understand the gravity of this sin, and the heavy price that the speaker is liable to pay, both in this world and the next. Therefore, David cautions us that if we seek to enjoy the bliss of eternal life in the next world and desire good days in this world, our first step must be to guard our tongues.
?
On the holy day of Yom Kippur we beseech Hashem “Silence the Accuser and let the Defender take his place.” How can one utter these words without feeling shame and humiliation, if through his own loshon hora the Accuser is aroused and endowed with the strength to accuse?
?
Conversely, those who are successful in their efforts to refrain from speaking ill of others can rest assured that their entreaties before Hashem to “silence the Accuser” carry great weight in Heaven.
?
May Hashem cause love, peace and brotherhood to dwell amongst His people.

Day 16 – The Listener
?
?
Once something is defined as derogatory, it is forbidden to relate it other than for constructive purposes and under specific conditions which will be discussed later.? One may not share negative information about people with friends and family, including one’s spouse.? It must be underscored that relating loshon hora to one’s spouse is no less forbidden than when relating it to anyone else.? To focus on another’s shortcomings is undignified and wrong.

SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Man’s Superiority
?
The person who restrains himself from speaking the forbidden merits the “hidden light” ?which was stored away for the righteous at the time of Creation.1 Conversely, regarding the sin of loshon hora, our Sages state (Yerushalmi Pe’ah 1:1): “Punishment for this sin is exacted from the person on this world, while its principal [i.e. primary punishment] remains for him in the World to Come.”
?
This is yet another reason why David declares: “Which man desires life... Guard your tongue from evil.”
?
Consider the following: Man is superior to all other creatures by way of his Heavenly soul, which the Creator has endowed with intellect that is granted expression through the power of speech. As mentioned above, the Torah defines man’s essence by calling him a “living being,” which Onkelos translates as “a speaking spirit” (Bereishis 2:7). But man can claim superiority only if he uses his power of speech in a constructive manner. If he uses this power wickedly, then all other creatures, who cannot speak and cause the destructiveness that only words can cause, are actually superior to him.
?
Thus does Scripture state: “Which man [desires life... guard your tongue...],” ?for it is this quality that makes one deserving of being called a man.
?
  1. See Rashi to Bereishis 1:4.

Sukkot and Shabbat
?
Rabbi Bunam said: "The command to dwell in a Sukkah during the Festival of the Tabernacles is highly important, inasmuch as this is the only precept we fulfil with our whole body. The Lentzer Rabbi commented on this, saying that the Sabbath Day is of greater merit , inasmuch as it surrounds us everywhere; whereas the command of the sukkah is limited to indoors, and cannot be fulfilled out-of-doors."

Day 13 – Obvious Intent
?
?
While statements which have a negative connotation are prohibited, this would not apply where the listener can be expected to understand that nothing derogatory was intended.
?
Therefore, halachah permits making an ambiguous statement if:
(1) Nothing derogatory is intended; and
?
(2) The unintended meaning of the statement is only mildly derogatory; and
?
(3) The statement is made in the presence of three people or in the presence of the person being discussed.
?
As an illustration, the early commentators offer the statement, “In that house, something is always cooking on the stove.”? This could mean that this family’s door is always open to guests, or it can mean that the family is overindulgent.? If the statement were to be made in the presence of three, one can safely assume that it would eventually become known to the family of whom it was said.? Such being the case, the listeners would assume that the speaker intended it as a compliment.? It would also be permissible to make such a statement in the presence of the family of whom it is said, since it would be obvious to all that there was no derogatory intent.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Awakening the Accuser
?
Sifre1 states that Hashem, as it were, does not want to associate with gossipers and rescue them from troubles. Zohar states (Parashas Shelach): “R’ Shimon said: Of everything is the Holy One, Blessed is He, forgiving — except for loshon hora.” The reason for this is perfectly clear.
?
When a Jew speaks loshon hora, he causes accusation in Heaven toward the Jewish people. In the words of Zohar (Parashas Pekudei), this sin “brings plague, sword and murder to this world. Woe to those who awaken this evil force, who do not guard their tongues and pay no heed to this! They do not realize that the ways of Heaven are reflective of the ways on this world, both for good and for bad. [Through evil talk,] Satan is aroused to voice accusation against the entire world.”
?
A father’s great love for his child can impel him to make allowances for the child’s bad behavior. When a father is forced to rebuke his child, he does it lovingly, with abundant compassion. However, if people come to the father and report that they witnessed how the child quarreled with others over nothing, and that he embarrassed and ridiculed his peers, the father will have no alternative but to take strong measures to ensure that his child mend his ways.
?
Hashem loves the Jewish people with a deep, unfathomable love. In the words of the prophet: “Is Ephraim My most precious son or a delightful child, that whenever I speak of him I remember him more and more? Therefore, My inner self yearns for him, I will surely take pity on him...” (Yirmiyahu 31:19-20).
?
Of course, Hashem is well aware of all that transpires both in public and in private, as it is written, “Can a man hide in a hidden place so that I will not see him’ says Hashem?” (Yirmiyahu?23:24). Nevertheless, out of His great love for Israel, He is slow to anger and seeks to find merit for His nation, as it is written, “He gazes at no iniquity in Yaakov...” (Bamidbar?23:21; see Rashi). In His infinite wisdom, Hashem has decreed that His judgment of man reflect the intercessions and accusations of the Heavenly angels. When the Accuser [i.e. Satan] comes before Him to relate the sins of His people, then He feels compelled, as it were, to respond.
?
And it is those who speak loshon hora who cause the Accuser to speak against the Jewish people.
?

Essentials for Sukkot
?
A hasid asked the Dzikover before Sukkot to grant him a blessing so that he might have an exceptionally fine palm branch, etrog, myrtle twigs and willows of the brook for the festival. The rabbi replied: "What you need for Sukkot is a kind heart, a humble spirit, a truthful mind, and the will to perfect yourself. After you have attained these, it will be time to concern yourself regarding an exceptionally fine set of the symbols for Sukkot."

The Tzanzer's Charity
?
On Sukkot Eve the Tzanzer would borrow great numbers of thalers, and distribute them among the poor. When asked why he insisted upon special charity for Sukkot, the rabbi replied: "We are commanded to adorn the? sukkah. And what better ornament can there be than the distribution of charity among those who lack the means wherewith to be glad in the 'season of rejoicing'?"
