SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM Day 41 – Toeles — Constructive Purpose Based on the rule that one must endure social and financial loss rather than speak loshon hora, it would seem that there should be no halachic justification to speak loshon hora for a constructive purpose (l’toeles). Why then does the halachah permit constructive statements to be made? We have noted that all forms of loshon hora fall under one of two categories: 1) Derogatory statements; 2) Statements which have the potential to cause the subject harm. Derogatory speech was explained as being lowly in that the speaker focuses on the negative aspects of someone’s character or behavior. There are times when discussing someone’s shortcomings is clearly constructive, and the responsible thing to do. This is true either: when one is attempting to assist the person he is speaking about, or when he is trying to protect others from that person. In such cases, though negative traits or actions are being mentioned, the statements made do not constitute loshon hora. Destructive speech is loshon hora; constructive speech is not. Similarly, there is no such thing as “constructive rechilus” (gossip); a statement can be classified as rechilus only if it is destructive. Nevertheless, the Chofetz Chaim refers to derogatory statements made for a constructive purpose as “loshon hora l’toeles” seemingly for lack of a better term. We, too, have made use of the term “loshon hora (or rechilus) for a constructive purpose” at various points in this work. A great deal of sensitivity, objectivity, and knowledge of halachah is required in order to distinguish between genuine constructive speech and what amounts to nothing more than rationalized loshon hora. The Chofetz Chaim lists several conditions necessary for a statement to be deemed one of toeles, constructive purpose, as opposed to loshon hora. The conditions for a statement to qualify as constructive—soon to be discussed here—must be studied carefully before taking the liberty of making a statement that would otherwise be considered loshon hora. It would also be wise to discuss the matter with a competent rav, as an incorrect decision could result in irreparable harm. SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON To Inspire Repentance God would take note of the metzora’s repentance and would heal him of his affliction. The Kohen would go outside the Israelite Camp to examine the metzora. Having been declared healed by the Kohen, the metzora would begin the purification process, which included the offering of Temple sacrifices, as detailed in the Torah. Having benefited from God’s infinite kindness in being cured of his affliction and restored to a state of taharah (ritual purity), the person would, upon returning home, surely uphold his earlier resolutions. He would beg forgiveness of those he wronged and strive with all his strength to avoid speaking loshon hora in the future. Thus, he would be completely cleansed of his sin. One may wonder why in our day the affliction of tzaraas is not manifest upon those who habitually speak loshon hora. The Chidah offers the following explanation: When God visits punishment upon an individual, He does it for the person’s benefit, to purify him of his sins and to stir him towards repentance. Now, it was only during the Temple era that a metzora could attain taharah (purification). Today, however, when due to our sins there is no Temple, no sacrifice, and no way for the Kohen to perform the other components of the purification process, if God were to afflict a person with tzaraas, he would remain in his impure state for the rest of his life, without any possibility of ridding himself of it. Therefore, in the absence of the Temple, the impurity of this affliction clings only to the soul, but is not manifest on the person’s body.

He tried Keto for a while, too. As we discussed the life-saving way of eating The Wellness Clinic recommends, Sam and his wife were doubtful. Could they do this?

The Long Arm Said the Kozmirer: " When all Jews cherish love for each other, they become together as one giant man and their arms together become one long arm.

Shalom Please daven for Tamir ben Cheirut, ???? ?? ????? the cousin of a friend of mine who was abducted from his army base on October 7th. It's over 580 days and his family have had no news, he is the hostage whose status is unknown, there has been no sign of life or any leads about him. All they know from a video when he was abducted is that he was taken in his pyjamas, barefoot, without his glasses. Tamir comes from a Torah observant family. He is basically blind without his glasses. I can't imagine what he must have gone through with no shoes, proper clothing, no glasses not to mention access to Tefillin, a siddur or Torah. Without glasses he can't see if any food might be safe to eat or edible or anything else. He'd only be able to detect movements or sounds.If he is alive it will be a miracle, whatever his status he needs to come home to his family. Preferably alive but if G-d forbid he isn't he would need a Kosher burial. Only united Tefillos can bring him home. Preferably alive but if he is, without his glasses, for so long, as an OT who worked in ophthalmology, my heart aches. As a Jew my heart aches. Please share his name and help appeal to Hashem to send him home. Shabbat Shalom Shoshanah

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM 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. SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON 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. Dedications and Sponsorships Do you know someone who needs a refuah shleima? A shidduch?

Here’s the million-dollar question: If so many people are in therapy, Why is there still a mental health crisis? (It’s quite literally a million-dollar question. Because it’s costing the frum community a fortune — and we’re still not getting the help we need.) People are in therapy for years. They enjoy the sessions. They feel relief. They gain insights, self-awareness, maybe uncover childhood traumas and process difficult experiences. But the panic attacks? The depression? The disordered eating? Still there. And that’s not okay. Because solutions do exist. There are proven treatments. Gold-standard methods. Therapies tested in thousands of studies — and they work. But for some reason, so much of this knowledge hasn’t made it into our community. So we’re changing that. From May 11–15, we’re bringing together the world’s top psychologists for a powerful, free 5-day virtual event: The Therapy Should Work Event. ?

Speak No Evil of Jerusalem Said the Staliner Rabbi: "When a Jew speaks or thinks evil of his fellow-Jews, he shall be expelled from the Heavenly Abode, even as one who speaks evil of the king's sons is driven from the royal palace.
