11:18) “and you shall place these words of Mine on your hearts,” אלֹ יִכּ ,תאֹּזַה הרָוֹתַּה ירְֵבִדּ לָכּ תֶא תוֹשֲׂעַל רֹמְשִׁל םֶכיֵנְבּ

[ 7 ] {Effect of Torah} His Torah and the Berachot he recites to ,ןיִשֲׂעָהְו ןיִואָלַּה ףַא וּנְיַהְדּ ,הרָוֹתַּה לָכּ רֹמְשִׁל םֶהיֵנְבּ תֶא
HaKadosh Baruch Hu will be pure and will not be tainted by a
spirit of defilement. But that would not be the case if one was .הָבָשֲׁחַמַּהְו רוּבִּדַּה ַחֹכְבּ םיִיוּלְתֶּשׁ
not careful with his words and used speech that is forbidden, as
forces of defilement would hover over these forbidden words. קרַ ךְָיַּשׁ הֶזֶּשׁ בֵשׁוֹחְו ,וָנָע םָדָאָה הֶשׂוֹע ערָָה רֶצֵיַּהְו
Spirits of impurity seize those words of defilement and use them
to defile any subsequent words of sanctity that he would speak, .טוּשָׁפּ שׁיִא אוּהֶשׁ ,וֹל אלֹ לָבֲא ,הרָוֹתַּבּ םיִלוֹדְגּ םיִשָׁנֲאַל
as described in the holy Zohar, which I cited above following םיִכירְִצ ל ֹּכַהְו ,םֶכיֵיַּח איִה יִכּ ,רָבָדַּה ןֵכ אלֶֹּשׁ רַמָא הֶזָלְו
the words of the Rambam. For this reason Chazal composed
this request at the conclusion of the Amidah: “Open my heart to .םיִיַּח
Your Torah,” which follows the request of Hashem to “Protect
my mouth (words) from bad,” because if one does not protect his םיִנָיְנִעָה לַע הרָיִמְשַּׁה תַבוֹח לֶשׁ רָמֲאַמַּה וּנדְַחִיֶּשּׁ הַמוּ
words from bad, it is pointless to pray “Open my heart to your
Torah.” וּלֵּא לַע ליִטִּה בוּתָכַּהֶשׁ ,וּניִארֶָשׁ םוּשִּׁמ ,רוּבִּדַּה ַח ֹּכ לֶשׁ

[ 8 ] {Treasured} In so doing he will fulfill the words of Mishle רֹצְנ" :)ד"י ד"ל םיִלִּהְתּ( רַמָאְו ,תוּטרְָפִבּ הרָיִמְשׁ םיִנָיְנִעָה

your heart, to be careful through them not to stumble into sinning םיִיַּחַה יִכּ םַעַטַּהְו ,הרֵָתְי הרָיִמְשׁ הֶזָל ךְירִָצֶּשׁ עַמְשַׁמ ,"'וֹגְו

[ 9 ] {The greatness of upholding mitzvot that society neglects} It
is well known that a large part of the Torah including the mitzvot ךְוּרָבּ שׁוֹדָקַּה - הָבוֹט הָבָשֲׁחַמ :).'מ ןיִשׁוּדּקִ( ל"ַזֲח וּרְמָא
that are dependent on the power (the consequences) of one’s
speech are very weakly observed because of our many sins, and ךְוּרָבּ שׁוֹדָקַּה ןיֵא - הָערָ הָבָשֲׁחַמ .הֶשֲׂעַמְל הָּפרְָצְמ אוּה
this does not reflect well at all on the glory of Hashem Yitbarach. שׁוֹדָקַּה ןיֵא ,רַמוֹל וֹל הָיָה הרָוֹאְכִלְו .הֶשֲׂעַמְל הָּפרְָצְמ אוּה
The Sefer Chasidim has already pointed out to us that a mitzvah
which has no following is like the mitzvah of an unattended םָנְמָא ?הָּפרְָצְמ ןוֹשְׁל יאַמ ,הֶשֲׂעַמְל הָּבְשׁוֹח אוּה ךְוּרָבּ
