validating his repentance with his actions, saying the words of ,ךְֶלֶמַּה רַצוֹא רֵמוֹשׁ תַמְגדְֻו .םָתרָיִמְשִּׁמ וֹתְּעַדּ ַחיִסַּי אלֶֹּשׁ .ד
the Vidduy is meaningless. And so my brothers, my dear friends,
let us begin and work with all of our strength for the sake of אלֹ ןִידֲַע םָשֶּׁשׁ ,וּנֶּמִּמ רֵתוֹיְו .רָצוֹאָה לַע וֹבִּלְו ויָניֵע לָכֶּשׁ

profoundly serious sin, a sin which brought on the destruction of
our Beit HaMikdash and caused our expulsion from our land (a ,םיִבָנַּגַּהֶשׁ ,הָתַּע דַע םַגּ ברַ קֵזֶּה וֹל הָיָה יאַדַּוְבֶּשׁ ,הֶזָבּ ןֵכּ
sin that has kept us in Galut for nearly 2,000 years). (One who הֵבּרְַה וּבְנָגּ ,דוֹבָכַּהְו הָוֲאַתַּהְו הָאְנִקַּה :ויָחוּלְשׁוּ רֶצֵיַּה םֵהְו
carefully studies the Haftarah of Tisha B’Av will realize that even
in the time of the first Beit HaMikdash these sins also caused וֹביִבְס דֹאְמ תרֶדֶוֹח ןִיַעְבּ םָלֻּכּ םידְִמוֹע הָתַּע םַגְו .וֹמרְַכִּמ
the arousal of the Attribute of Strict (unmerciful) Justice directed
against the Jewish people and the subsequent destruction of our לַלְכִבּ הֶז ןיֵאֶשׁ ,הָיָעְטַהְבּ ןֵה .וּלְכוּיֶּשּׁ הַמ לָכּ וֹמרְַכִּמ ףֹטֲחַל

As we begin to correct this quality in ourselves, most certainly ךְירִָצ הָמַּכּ ,ךָיֶנָיְנִע לָכְבּ ךְָמִּע ףֵתַּתְּשִׁמַּהְו ,ךֲָחוּר גֶזֶמְבּ
Hashem Yitbarach will help us to always behave in this way, as אלֶֹּשׁ אָבַּהְלוּ ןאָכִּמ םיִנָפּ לָכּ לַע בֵטיֵה רֵמָשִּׁהְלוּ קֵזַּחְתִהְל
Chazal have taught that one who attempts to purify himself will
receive Heaven’s assistance to achieve that goal (Gemara Yomah .וֹנוֹשְׁלִבּ לֵשָׁכִּי
38b). In so doing, most certainly his behavior will motivate other
people to behave in that same way and arouse Heaven’s mercy הֶלֵּא ירַָבְדּ תֶא םֶתְּמַשְׂו" :)ח"י א"י םירִָבְדּ( רֵמוֹאֶשׁ תֵעְבּ .ה
for the sake of His people and His Torah.
לֵבּקְַמֶּשׁ ןֵנוֹבְּתִי ,תוְֹצִמַּה לֹע תַלָבּקַ אוּהֶשׁ ,"םֶכְבַבְל לַע
Truthfully, I have something incredible (to say). Shelomo
HaMelech writes in Mishle (2:4) “If you will look for it as ןיִיוּלְתֶּשׁ ,ןיִשֲׂעָהְו ןיִואָלַּה לַע םַגּ רֹבֲעַל אלֶֹּשׁ ,וֹמְצַע לַע
you search for silver (money).” Implicit in this teaching is our .ךְרַָבְּתִי 'ה ירְֵבִדּ םֵה םָלֻּכּ יִכּ ,הָבָשֲׁחַמַּהְו רוּבִּדַּה קֶלֵחְבּ
obligation to behave in our fear of Hashem as we behave towards
money. It is known that in matters of money, if one becomes
aware of a deal that will greatly enrich him by millions of rubles, וּלֵּאְל תוֹכָיַּשַּׁה תוֹכָלֲהַה דוּמִּלְל םוֹי לָכְבּ ןַמְז ַע ֹּבקְִל .ו
this person will find no rest and will not stay quiet until he רָסוּמַּבּ ןֵכְו ,לֵשָׁכִּהְל םָדָאָה יוּצָמ ןֶהָבּ יִכּ ,םירִָבְדּ הרָָשֲׂעָה
achieves his goal.

In the realm of spirituality there is also a great and holy endeavor,
and by virtue of this effort one can return the Shehchinah to its
place (as Chazal have taught (Devarim Rabbah, perashat Ki םִע רֵבּדְַל וֹתיֵבְבּ וֹתְּבִשְׁבּ וּלִּפֲא אוּה הרָיִמְשַּׁה ןַיְנִע .ז
Teh’tzeh), that because of the sin of Lashon Hara, the Shehchinah .ןיִדַּה דַצִּמ רָתֻּמ אוּהֶשׁ רָבָדּ אלֹ םִא ,יִמ תוֹדוֹא וֹתְּשִׁא
has removed itself from Israel), re-build the Beit HaMikdash and
return the Jewish people back to their land. This is the greatest
enrichment by far in the entire world, yet there are none who turn
towards this task to achieve it and its remedy. 33. Please see Sefer Shemirat HaLashon in English translation entitled Mazal
