certainly will find grace and charm in the esteem of Hashem
Yitbarach. This person’s reward from Hashem Yitbarach will be ביִתְכדְִכוּ .וֹתרָיִמְשׁ קיִסְפַי אלְֹו ,הֶז לַע הָבוּשְׁתִבּ בוּשָׁל

the enormity of the subject of adopting the discipline required

this topic when one finds an entire group of people participating
together in this endeavor, that for the sake of Hashem Yitbarach .וֹשְׁפַנ לַע הָאְמֻטַּה תוֹהְשַׁהְל אלֶֹּשׁ ידְֵכּ םַעַטַּהְו .הָנֵשַּׁה
they have resolved to impose limits upon themselves to guard
the power of their speech in order not to use language that is גֵהַנְתִה םִא ,שׁדֶקֹ תַבַּשׁ ברֶֶע לָכְבּ וֹשְׁפַנְבּ ןֵנוֹבְּתִהְל .ט

Baruch Hu get from this when He sees how beloved His mitzvot
are to the Jewish people. Each individual mitzvah will earn a ,וֹסקְָנִפְבּ הֶז םֹשׁרְִיֶּשׁ ןוֹכָנַּהֵמ ,וֹנוֹשְׁלִבּ לַשְׁכִנ אלֹ םֵלָשׁ
merit for them. The statement of Chazal is very well known
(Torat Kohanim) regarding the pasuk (Vayikrah 26:8) “Five of לַע 'הַל הָאָדוֹה ןֵתִּיְו ,וֹקְלֶחְבּ חַמְשִׂיְו ,הֶזָבּ 'ה וֹל רַזָעֶשׁ
you will chase 100 of them (your enemy) and 100 of you will .אָבַּהְל לַע שֵׁקַּביִו ,רָבָעֶה
chase 10,000.” (Logically, if 5 will chase 100, then 100 should
chase 2,000) However the strength of many people participating הָשָׂעֶשׁ ,יִנוֹלְפּ לַע עַמָשֶּׁשׁ רָבָדּ םוּשִּׁמ שֵׁגּרְַתִי אלֶֹּשׁ .י
together in a mitzvah is not at all comparable to the power of only

baseless hatred and the ensuing Lashon Hara, as I explained in הֶשֲׂעַמ ויָניֵע דֶגֶנְל הֶיְהִיְו[ םֶהֵמ דַמְלִי לַא ,רוּבִּדַּה ַחֹכְבּ

,אָביקֲִע 'רְל וֹל הָיָהֶשׁ ,םידִיִמְלַתּ ףֶלֶא הָעָבּרְַאְו םירְִשֶׂעְדּ
The text of the Chovot HaLevavot is well known, that Teshuvah הֶז דוֹבָכּ וּגֲהָנ אלֶֹּשׁ לַע ,ףוֹסַּבְל ןיִדַּה תַדִּמ םֶהָבּ הָעְגָפֶּשׁ
becomes effective only if it is substantiated with a person’s
actions and not merely with his words. Even if one recites
100 times (in the Vidduy, “forgive me) for the sin of speaking
Lashon Hara and for speaking slanderously \ hypocritically,” as 34. Please see the Chafetz Chayim’s ZT”L Mishnah Berurah, section #250,
paragraph #3, quoting the ‘sefarim’ regarding the Teshuvah and the
long as he does not exert an effort and tries to correct this sin by introspection one must do on Erev Shabbat.
