We know very well the desire of man to (socialize and to) enter
into a group and become part of it in order that his peers should ןוֹבְּשֶׁחַבּ תֶפרֶָטְצִמ הָּניֵא הָערָ הָבָשֲׁחַמְדּ ,רַמָא הֶזָלְו .עָשׁרָ

at the time when he is judged, all of the men that were part of
this group (even if they did not participate in the discussion) will ערָ רוּבִּדּ לָבֲא ,הָערָ הָבָשֲׁחַמ אקְָוַדּ הֶזִּמ עַמְשַׁמ הֵנִּהְו
have to answer for everything they said. All of them are recorded
as participants in an evil group. This concept is brought down in רוּבִּדּ לָכּ וֹל וּריִכְּזַי ןיִדַּה תֵעְבוּ .הֶשֲׂעַמַּה ןוֹבְּשֶׁחְל ףרֵָטְצִמ

the quality of accepting the obligation to discipline one’s speech, שׁיִא ןיֵבֶּשׁ הָלּקַ הָחיִשׂ וּלִּפֲא ,"וֹחֵשּׂ הַמ םָדָאְל דיִגַּמוּ" :)ג"י
that in so doing one will necessarily stay away from the presence
of such groups of people (as long as he does not know them to םָתוֹא הֶז יִפְלוּ .ןיִדַּה תַעְשִׁבּ םָדָאָל וֹל ןידִיִגַּמ ,וֹתְּשִׁאְל

them in the future (i.e., on his judgment day). Please reference יוּצָמ ,רוּסָאָה רוּבִּדּ וֹא רָתֻּמַּה רוּבִּדּ אוּה םִא ,תוּנְנוֹבְּתִה
above the words if the Rambam (at the end of the 6th perek) ןיִבּרְֻמ וּיְהִיֶּשׁ דַע ,ךְָכּ לָכּ הֶז ידְֵי לַע ןֶהיֵתוֹנוֲֹע וּבּרְַתִיֶּשׁ דֹאְמ

and also Sefer Shemirat HaLashon, in the 14 chapter of Sha’ar
HaZechirah. .םוֹלָשְׁו סַח ,םיִעָשׁרְ רדֶֶגְבּ הָלְעַמְל םיִבָשְׁחֶנְו ,ןֶהיֵתוֹיֻּכְזִּמ

And all the more so, by virtue of this quality one will stay יֵנְיְנִע לֶשׁ תוֹבֵתּ תוֹאֵמ הָמַּכּ ןָדְּגֶנ םָדָא לָכְל שֵׁיֶּשׁ ףַאְדּ[
distant from argumentation as he recalls to himself that he is ןֵוִּכּ םִא ,וֹמְצַעְבּ בֹשֲׁחַי ,תוֹכרְָבּ הָאֵמַּה ןִמ םוֹי לָכְבּ הָשּׁדֻקְ
among those who guard themselves (i.e., who have disciplined
their speech). Even if he comes across someone who insults ןיֵאֶשׁ ,םיִבּרַָה וּניֵתוֹנוֲֹעַבּ ,דֹאְמ יוּצָמְדּ .יוּארָָכּ תַחַא לָכְבּ

exercising restraint in his speech, his reward will be very great,
as Chazal have taught in Gemara Chulin (89a) “What is the ןיִבּרְֻמ ויָתוֹנוֲֹע יַלוּא ,דֹחְפִלְו ארֹיִל ,וֹרוּבִּדּ תֶא רֵמוֹשׁ

nothingness’? What is the basis for the continued existence of the
world? [Answer] On (the merit of) those who keep their mouths
closed when confronted with argumentation.” They (Chazal) ]ְו[ :)ג"י 'ב( תוֹבָאְבּ ל"ַזֲח רַמֲאַמ הֶז לַע ץיִלְמַהְל לַכוּנְו
have further said (Gemara Shabbat 88a, Yomah 23b, Gittin 37b) לָכּ ךְירִָצ וֹרֵבֲח תֶא ,וּנְיַהְו .ךְָמְצַע יֵנְפִבּ עָשׁרָ יִהְתּ לַא
