Shmirat Haloshon
SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM Day 32 ¨C 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. SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON 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." Source: Niflaoth ha-Yehudi

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM Day 26 ¨C About Children It is forbidden to speak loshon hora about children. While most people understand that ¡°kids are kids¡± and the Torah does not hold children responsible for their actions, if one speaks about a child in a manner that either the speaker or listener sees as derogatory, then the laws of shmiras haloshon have been violated. It is also forbidden to say or write something about a child that potentially could prove harmful to him. A teacher who is prepared to enter a negative comment on a student¡¯s record should pause to contemplate the effect that entry might have on the student¡¯s future educational and employment opportunities. Likewise, teachers should exercise caution and fairness when conveying their feelings concerning a student to his teacher for the coming year. SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON Pure and Untainted The Talmud states: Reish Lakish said in the name of R¡¯ Yehudah Nesiah: ¡°The world is sustained only in the merit of the breath [of Torah study] of school children.¡± Said R¡¯ Pappa to Abaye: ¡°And what is with yours and mine [i.e. our Torah study]?¡± Abaye replied: ¡°There is no comparison between breath that is tainted by sin and breath that is free of sin¡± (Shabbos 119b). If the Sages were, to their minds, guilty of forbidden speech, it could only have been an inadvertent and rare occurrence. Yet they declared their words of Divine service to be tainted because of this. How much more so is this true of one who habitually speaks the forbidden ¡ª especially loshon hora, which causes ill will and strife among Jews. Dedications and Sponsorships Do you know someone who needs a refuah shleima? A shidduch? Or perhaps a meaningful yahrtzeit is approaching? As a merit for a recovery from illness or for a departed family member you can sponsor a daily email and have over 8,000 people, every day, learn and be inspired as a z¡¯chus for your loved one.

Today's Inspiration - Chodesh tov!
Why Mortals Precede A hasid asked a zaddik: "Why is it customary to say: 'Lechayim," before reciting the benediction over a drink of wine? Is it not disrespectful to bless mortals before blessing the Immortal One?" The zaddik opened the prayer book and showed the hasid the passage wherein we are enjoined to accept the mitzvah of loving our neighbors before accepting the mitzvah of loving God. The reason doubtless is that mortals need our love and sympaty more than God." Source: Derekh Zaddikim
