SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM
?
Day 6 – Content and Intent
?
?
?
Previously, we saw that a statement which is essentially derogatory is forbidden, regardless of the speaker’s opinion regarding that statement.? Conversely, it is forbidden to utter a statement which, essentially, is not derogatory, if either the speaker or the listener considers it derogatory.
?
An illustration of this would be where an individual’s mode of dress is being discussed.? Although there may be nothing wrong with the way the person dresses, nevertheless, it is forbidden to say that the individual dresses in that manner, if either the speaker or listener has an unfavorable impression of those who dress that way.
?
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Beyond Comprehension
?
Let us address the contention that it is virtually impossible to faithfully observe the laws of shmiras haloshon for more than a day or two:
?
Even if this were correct, is it reason enough to ignore this mitzvah? Imagine a person walking along the seashore, who sees that the sea has washed ashore precious gems. Would such a person — even if he were wealthy — refrain from picking up any gems because he knows it will be impossible to gather them all?
?
It is exactly the same regarding shmiras haloshon. It is well known that the Vilna Gaon (in his famous letter) quotes the Midrash which says that for each moment in which a person refrains from speaking the forbidden, he merits a hidden light that no angel can fathom. Note that the Midrash does not speak of refraining from forbidden speech for a month, a week, or an hour — but for only a moment!
?
Scripture states: “If you will seek it like silver and hunt for it like hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of Hashem, and knowledge of God you will find” (Mishlei 2:4-5). One must strive to attain spiritual goals in the way that he would seek the greatest valuables that this world has to offer. This is the intent of the statement, “Do not distance yourself from a quality that is without limit.” Avoiding forbidden speech brings infinite merit; if we will only pursue this quality, and not tell ourselves that it is out of our reach, then we will have achieved that which no angel can fathom.
?
Keep reading Day 7, the lesson for Shabbos
SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM
?
Day 7 – Matters of Taste
?
It would seem that there is nothing derogatory about a statement of taste.? To say, “I don’t like dry wine,” is a description of the speaker’s preferences and not a critical evaluation of the wine.
?
Ostensibly, then, one should be allowed to say that one does not like the oratory style of a given lecturer.? In fact, however, such statements are generally prohibited, for they imply that the speaker lacks effectiveness.
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Breaking Bad Habits
?
?
In truth, there is no basis for the contention that the average person cannot avoid forbidden speech for more than a day or two. It is a proven fact that the longer one persists in guarding his tongue, the easier it becomes.
?
To gossip is a habit, and habits, as time goes on, become a part of a person’s nature. But bad habits can be broken, especially when one becomes aware that a given habit involves numerous Torah prohibitions and is described by our Sages in most severe terms. Such an awareness, coupled with a bit of zealousness, goes a long way. One who would speak whatever came to mind without a moment’s hesitation, will now find himself weighing his words before expressing them.
?
One should not grow frustrated if, after he resolved to avoid forbidden speech, his evil inclination got the better of him and he spoke loshon hora. Even if this happens time and again, nevertheless, he should not despair. Rather, he should forever strengthen himself to avoid improper speech, and persevere. This is how one should conduct himself his entire life.
?
This is the intent of the Talmud’s statement, “One should forever arouse his good inclination to subdue his evil inclination” (Berachos 5a). Life is an ongoing struggle with one’s evil inclination. One must forever be poised for battle and never be discouraged by failure. With knowledge of what the Torah requires of us and proper resolve, our efforts will ultimately succeed.

Become a Partner in Spreading Torah

 

Shalom Friends

As we prepare for Shabbat and Pesach, please consider becoming a regular member of our to help to spread Torah.

You can support creation of Torah videos put onto YouTube. There has also been a request to look into placing them elsewhere as well for those who use strong filters.

In addition to our videos that go up for people to listen to or watch for free, my husband teaches Torah online. We have a growing list of Yidden who would like to learn Sofrut but can't afford to pay for the course. Those in South Africa for example where the currency is weak, have difficulty paying in Shekels. Some have other topics they wish to learn.

Please join us to be able to subsidize Torah Shiurim or come up with a potential scholarship.

Thank you for your help

Shabbat Shalom

The Bratslaver on "Leadership"

"In every person who comes to the leader, there is? some quality of good will which the leader can bring out and fortify. thereby refreshing his soul. The stronger the good will a man possesses, the more he gains from listening to his leader. The first sign of this gain is his ability to show greater love towards his fellow men."

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM?

Day 5 – Character
?
It is forbidden to say that someone possesses a negative character trait.? For example, it is forbidden to say that an individual is quick-tempered, argumentative, stingy, arrogant, etc.
?
To say that someone is of bad character is forbidden as it is a derogatory statement.? However, to indicate that someone is of average character (for example, that he does not overlook the wrong done to him) – while not complimentary – is also not derogatory and may be permissible.? In common situations where the term “average” has negative connotations; such a statement would also constitute loshon hora.
?
On the basis of the principle of relative statements discussed previously (Day 4), the claim that a person known for his piety is, in actuality, no better than average, is certainly loshon hora.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Claims and Counter-Claims
?
R’ Yochanan ben Dehavai said: Do not distance yourself from a quality that is without limit and from a labor that is without end.
To what can this be compared? To someone who took water from the ocean and cast it onto dry land. The ocean did not appear any less full and the land did not become filled [with water]. The man grew frustrated. His employer said: “Foolish one! Why are you upset? Each day you will receive a gold coin for your work.”
(Avos D’R’ Nosson 27:3).
?
The “quality” to which the sage refers is shmiras haloshon. The evil inclination seeks to discourage us from striving to develop this quality, by way of the following argument: “What benefit will you have from studying the laws and concepts of proper speech? Are you really capable of guarding your tongue all your life? Try to avoid speaking loshon hora for even a day or two! And do you really think that you can avoid everything that one is forbidden to speak? Why, you are a man of the world, you have dealings with scores of people!
?
“Don’t even attempt to acquire this quality — it simply cannot be done. Guarding one’s tongue requires constant vigilance. It is relevant countless times a day, every day of a person’s life, and it applies to virtually every situation that can occur between man and his fellow.”
?
R’ Yochanan ben Dehavai teaches us that this is simply not true. One should not distance himself from this quality which, indeed, is “without limit,”1 as we shall explain.
  1. ???? “A labor without end” of which the passage speaks is that of Torah study.

The Duty of Leaders
?
The author of "Tefillah le-Moshe says: "If God had granted you the privilege of being a leader in Israel, do not rebuke your people with an angry heart, but with a soft tongue. For Israel is a holy congregation blessed of the Lord. Let every man be important in your eyes, and not inconsequential. For you cannot know who is worthy and who unworthy. Man often looks upon a fellow-man as despicable and worthless, but God looks into every heart."

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM

Day 4 – Relative Statements
?
Certain statements are loshon hora when said regarding one person, yet are perfectly acceptable when said regarding someone else.? For example, to say that a businessman studies Torah five hours a day is obviously not derogatory.? However, to say this of a kollel member who is assumed to be spending his entire day engrossed in Torah study would be derogatory.? Similarly, it would be forbidden to relate the amount of tzedakah given by an individual, if that amount is considered respectable only for a man of lesser means.
?
[There may be factors which would prohibit relating such information even when it is clearly complimentary.? For example, people who give charity generously often do not want that fact to become public knowledge.]
?
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
The Imperative of Halachic Study
?
Knowledge of the Aggadic teachings regarding loshon hora must be complemented by study of the laws of proper speech. In the words of Midrash Mishlei (1:2): “‘To know wisdom and mussar [inspirational,
ethical instruction]’ (Mishlei 1:2) — If one has wisdom [i.e. knowledge of halachah] then he can study mussar, but if he lacks wisdom, then he cannot study mussar.” The Midrash’s intent is clear: If a person is not knowledgeable in the laws of a given topic, then no amount of mussar will help him.
?
For example: If a businessman thinks that a given practice is not robbery, [when, in fact, it is] then what good will it do to inform him of the severity of the sin of robbery? The same applies to all other negative commandments. Therefore, one must study the Torah’s laws to know what is permitted and what is forbidden, and he must also learn the mussar teachings which inspire a person to fear Hashem. Through study of such teachings, one arouses his soul toward observance of Torah, aside from fulfilling the positive commandment, “Fear HASHEM, your God” (Devarim?10:20).
?
And so it is with regard to shmiras haloshon. Of what benefit will all the mussar in the world be, if one convinces himself that a given forbidden statement is not in the category of loshon hora?! Or, if he tells himself that the laws of loshon hora do not apply when speaking of a certain individual [when, in fact, they do]?!
?
Therefore, it is imperative that one know what is and what is not in the category of loshon hora according to halachah. This study should be complemented by inspirational study of the relevant Aggadic teachings.
