those who fortify themselves in this regard and rush to correct
this sin. Even if their share in this merit was only one-in-a- ןוֹבָנ שׁיִאְל ןוֹכָנ ,ןֵכּ לַעְו .דָחֻ יְמ שֶׁנֹע שֵׁי 'הֶשֲׂעַת אלֹ' לָכּ

comments on this specific idea (at the end of perashat Noach)

halacha dictates, they would have the ability to bring on our
righteous Mashiach. Therefore, my brothers and my friends, let דוֹעְו .הָלָטַּבְל וֹנַּמְז איִצוֹמוּ םָדָאָה יֵיַּחֵמ ברַ קֶלֵח הֶלַּכְמ

holy endeavor. In this context, the words of David HaMelech
A”H that were spoken to the tribe of Yehudah are very relevant
here; (Shemuel II 19:12) “Why should we be the last ones to רָבָדּ אלֹ םִא[ לוֹכָיֶּשּׁ הַמ לָכּ וֹרוּבּדְִבּ ץֵמּקְַל ,רָבָדּ לֶשׁ וֹרָקִּע

Truthfully, it is appropriate and correct for each person who הרָָשֲׂעֵמ אוּה םִא ןֵנוֹבְּתִי ,רֵבּדְַל חרְָכֻמ אוּה םִאְו .ןיִדַּה
loves Hashem Yitbarach and His Torah to encourage all of his
acquaintances to be resolute in this endeavor, that many of the םרֶֶכְבּ הֶלֻּעְמ רֵמוֹשׁ תוֹיְהִל ךְירִָצ ,םירִָבְדַּה לַלְכּ .םירִָבְדּ
Torah’s parshyot address this issue of the power of one’s speech, .אָבַּבוּ הֶזָבּ וֹקְלֶח ירְֵשַׁאְו ,'ה
as I explained above in the second perek. Yet because of our very
many sins, these laws have become trivial to many people. The
very great reward for those people who are careful to practice there 'ל'מ'ש'ח'ה 'ר'מ'ג 'ך'א אוּה םירִָבְדּ הרָָשֲׂעָה לֶשׁ ןָמיִסַּה
laws should be placed before them (society). Our Geulah (the end ,הָוֲאַגּ ,'ר'מ'ג .סַעַכּ ,םירִָבְדּ תַאָנוֹא .'ך'א :וֹרוּאֵבוּ
of our very long and bitter exile and the return to our homeland) is
entirely dependent on this observance. Without doubt, there will ,רקֶֶשׁ ,הָפֻּנֲח ,הָנָבְּלַה ,'ל'מ'ש'ח'ה .תוּליִכרְ ,תקֶלֲֹחַמ
be many people who will listen to these words and society will .תוּנָציֵל ,ערָָה ןוֹשָׁל רֵפַּסְמ
merit because of them, as the reward for those who cause others
to do Teshuvah is very great. The Zohar Chadash describes this
in perashat “Lech Le’chah (which I quoted in the first book of
