Day 33 – Negative Allusions
?
There are times when a speaker makes a positive statement about a person and intends it as such, but negative and harmful information can be inferred from his words.? The Torah would not consider one who does this to be a holech rachil, peddler of gossip, since
both his intent and his words are clearly sincere and positive.
?
Rabbinically, however, this too is prohibited, under a category referred to as avak loshon hora, the “dust” of loshon hora, which is spread by way of carelessness.
?
A common form of avak loshon hora is where one sincerely praises another person, but in doing so, alludes to a shortcoming of that individual.
?
“Who would have believed that he would have come this far?” clearly suggests something negative about the person.? Such a statement can cause the person embarrassment when said in his presence, and can be harmful to him even when he is not present.? Hence,
it is forbidden.

When Foes Become Friends
?
Sefer Ma’alos HaMiddos continues:
?
The Talmud states that no man —even a gentile in the marketplace —ever preceded Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai in extending a greeting of peace (Berachos 17a).
?
Our Sages taught: “Initiate a greeting of peace to every person” (Avos?4:20). What is meant by “every
person”? Even if you know that someone bears you ill will, nevertheless, initiate a greeting of peace toward him. This will awaken a feeling of love for you within him. And even if he will not humble himself to make peace with you, God will humble him before
you [so that he will not cause you any harm]. An allusion to this is found in Scripture, “But if he does not make peace with you ... HASHEM shall deliver him into your hand” (Devarim?20:12-13).
?
Illustrative of the above is the story of David and Shaul. David sought peace with Shaul, while Shaul, far from being appeased, pursued David with the intent of harming him. Thus did David say, “I am peace —but when I speak, they are for war” (Tehillim 120:7).
In two separate episodes, Hashem gave Shaul over into David’s hands [and David could have easily killed him]. Yet, it did not enter David’s mind to cause Shaul any harm, for man must love peace and pursue it. |

Day 32 – Non Kosher Entertainment
?
It is forbidden to relate a story for entertainment purposes only, if it contains derogatory or harmful information.
?
To relate an amusing incident that would cause embarrassment to any of the people involved if told in their presence constitutes speaking loshon hora.? Many a humorous situation is actually quite painful to the person involved.
?

Peace is Precious
?
Sefer Ma’alos HaMiddos (24) states:
?
Know, my son, that peace is an exalted quality, for it [Peace] is one of the Names of God ... Wherever
peace is found, fear of God is found; wherever peace is lacking, fear of God is lacking.
?
Our Sages state: Peace is precious, for God altered the truth for the sake of peace between Avraham and Sarah. Sarah [in expressing disbelief that she would yet bear a child] said, “And my master [Avraham] is old” (Bereishis?18:12),
but Hashem [in relating her statement to Avraham] said, “And I [Sarah] am old” (ibid. v. 13).
?
After Yaakov died, the brothers sent Yosef a message: “Your father gave orders before his death,saying, ‘Thus shall you say to Yosef: O please, kindly forgive the spiteful deed of your brothers...’” (ibid. 50:16). We do not find any indication in the Torah
that Yaakov did, in fact, give such instructions, for he did not suspect Yosef [of bearing any ill will toward his brothers. Yet the brothers, out of fear that Yosef had not forgiven them, altered the truth for the sake of peace].
?
Peace is precious, for in times of war, we must first seek peace, as it is written: “When you draw near to a city to wage war against it, you shall call out to it for peace” (Devarim?20:10).
?
Peace is precious, for it is with the blessing of peace that we conclude Bircas Kohanim (The Priestly Blessing), as it is written, “... and [may Hashem] establish peace for you” (Bamidbar?6:26).
?
Peace is precious, for it is with a request for peace that we conclude our daily prayer [i.e. the Shemoneh Esrei], as is derived from the verse: “HASHEM will give might to His people, HASHEM will bless His people with peace” (Tehillim 29:18).
?
Moreover, on the great day of consolation at the End of Days, the first good tidings will be of peace, as it is written, “How beautiful ascending the mountains are the footsteps of the herald, making heard, ‘Peace!’” (Yeshayahu 52:7). |

Today's Inspiration Yom Haatzmaut
Broadening Your Heart
?
Said the Yud: "Accustom yourself to good-heartedness by degrees. At first refuse not a request for a pinch of tobacco, for the light of a match, or for other small gifts. Little kindnesses like these will broaden your heart so that you will in this way habituate yourself to helping your fellow man in many ways."

The Lord is your Shade
?
The Besht commented upon the verse (Psalm 121:5) "The Lord is your shade." He said: "As you conduct yourself towards others, so does the Lord conduct Himself towards you. If you are kind and merciful, the Lord will be kind and merciful towards you."

Day 30 – Without Names
?
All forms of loshon hora are prohibited even when no names are mentioned, if it will be possible for people to determine who is being discussed.
?
Furthermore, if names are omitted but the story will reflect badly on an entire group of people, it may not be spoken.? Speaking critically about an unnamed student at a yeshiva is often taken as a statement about the entire student body or as a reflection
on yeshiva students in general.? If this is the implication, the statement is a more serious form of loshon hora, for it reflects on a multitude of Jews.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Rewards
?
Zohar states (Parashas Chukas) that one who is zealous in avoiding forbidden speech becomes enveloped in a spirit of sanctity.
?
Midrash Tanchuma (Tehillim 52:2) states: “The Holy One, Blessed is He, said: ‘If you seek to escape [the punishments of] Gehinnom, distance yourselves from loshon hora. Through this, you will be deemed meritorious in this world and the next.’ ”
?
The Torah states: “You shall not eat flesh of an animal that was torn in the field; to the dog shall you throw it” (Shemos?2:30).
In fact, it is permitted to dispose of such meat in other ways as well. However, the Torah says to throw such meat to dogs as a way of reward for their not having howled at any Jew on the night of the Exodus (ibid. 11:7), for Hashem does not deprive any creature
of its just reward. Surely, then, there is infinite reward reserved for man, who, through his own free choice, refrains from speaking the forbidden (Mechilta, Parashas Mishpatim 20). |
