Introduction ב קרפ
– who is called Chacham? (Answer) The person who sees the לַע םירְִבוֹע םֵה שֶׁפֶנ טָאְשִׁבֶּשׁ ,םיִשָׁנֲאָה םָתוֹא הֶז יִפְלוּ
consequences of his actions. The pasuk in Sefer Yirmiyah (2:19)
also alludes to this same concept as follows: “know and see ,םירִוּסֲאָה םירִוּבִּדּ יקְֵלֶח רָאְשׁוּ תוּליִכרְוּ ערָָה ןוֹשָׁל רוּסִּא
that your forsaking Hashem is evil and bitter,” meaning, that by
virtue of knowledge of the Torah (you will understand) what the הָמִּלְכוּ תֶשׁ ֹּב הָמַּכּ ,הֶזִּמ רֵמָשִּׁהְל םָמְצַע לַע םיִלְבּקְַמ םָניֵאְו
end will be of someone who transgresses His Will. Man should בוּתָכַּה םֶהיֵלֲע םַיּקֻיִו .וּלֵּא תוֹיִּשׁרָָפְל וּעיִגַּיֶּשְׁכּ ,וּלְבְּסִי
also paint a picture on his soul as though he physically sees this
and then most certainly his Yetzer Hara will be beaten because רֶשֲׁא םֶכיֵתוֹערָ לָכְבּ םֶכיֵנְפִבּ םֶתֹטקְֹנוּ" :)ג"מ 'כ לאקְֵזֶחְי(
of this.

(6) The essential point that man must understand that the Laveen
and Aseen that are contingent on one’s speech are equivalent in
status to those Laveen and Aseen that are contingent on man’s ירֵוּסִּי ידְֵי לַע םֶהיֵתוֹנוֲֹעֵמ וּקֻּנְיֶּשְׁכּ וּלִּפֲא ,ךְָיַּשׁ הֶיְהִי הֶזְו
actions, and are even more stringent than them. For example, if :).'צ ןירִדְֶהְנַס( םרָָמֲאַמְכוּ .ןדֵֶע ןַגְל וּכְּזִיְו ,הֶמוֹדַּכְו םֹּנִהיֵגּ
the Yetzer Hara uses one’s anger as a basis for persuading him
to go and publicly shame someone, and label him with a bad תֶשׁ ֹּב םוֹקָמ לָכִּמ .אָבַּה םָלוֹעָל קֶלֵח םֶהָל שֵׁי לֵארְָשִׂי לָכּ
reputation, this person should think soulfully that if his Yetzer
Hara seduced him to go to a brothel, would he listen to him? וּניִצָמֶּשׁ ןיֵעְכוּ .וּלֵּא תוֹיִּשׁרָָפְל וּעיִגַּיֶּשְׁכּ םֶהיֵנְפּ וּסַּכְי הָמִּלְכוּ
Most certainly this person would angrily berate his Yetzer Hara וֹתָאירִקְִבּ ַעיִגִּהֶשְׁכּ .ךְֶלֶמַּה סַפּירְִגַא לֶצֵא ).א"מ( הָטוֹסְבּ
saying: “Get away from me, from seducing me to commit a sin that
would result in my being disgusting in the eyes of Hashem.” My ךָיֶלָע תֵתָל לַכוּתּ אלֹ" :)ו"ט ז"י םירִָבְדּ( קוּסָפַּל הרָוֹתַּה רֶפֵסְבּ
brother, you should know that the sin of slandering is much more
serious than this. The Gemara Arachin (15a – in the Mishnah) קרַ הָיָה הֶזְו .םָשׁ ןֵיַּע ,תוֹעָמְדּ ויָניֵע וּגְלָז ,"'וֹגְו ירְִכָנ שׁיִא
describes this (the consequences of one’s speech) as more serious ארֹקְִל וֹאוֹבּ תֵעְבּ שָׁדּקְִמַּה תיֵבְבּ םיִנָשׁ עַבֶשְׁל תַחַא םַעַפּ
than the consequences of one’s actions (one who coerces or
seduces a woman is fined 50 Shekalim by the Torah, but one הרָוּרְצוּ ,חַצֶנַּה םַלוֹע אוּה םָשֶּׁשׁ ,ןדֵֶע ןַגְבּ טרְָפִבוּ .הרָוֹתַּבּ
who slanders his wife claiming she committed adultery is fined ליִגרְָו ,ארְָקַּבּ בוּתָכֶּשׁ וֹמְכּ ,םיִיַּחַה רוֹרְצִבּ וֹתָמְשִׁנ םָשׁ
100 Shekalim in addition to the lashes he will receive because of
this). So too we find that the decree against our ancestors in the תוֹרְבּדְַמֶּשׁ ,תוֹיִּשׁרָָפּ הָמַּכְו הָמַּכּ הָניִכְשַּׁה יִפִּמ םָשׁ ַעֹמְשִׁל
desert was issued only because of the sin of the spies who spoke
Lashon Hara against the Land of Israel. (Midrash Tanchumah, ר ֹּכְזִיֶּשְׁכּ ,ל ֹּבְסִי הָמִּלְכוּ רַעַצ הָמַּכּ .םָדָאָה רוּבִּדּ תוֹדוֹא

(perashat Mehtzorah #2) should constantly appear before your יֵנְפִּמ ויָנָפּ תֶא אָשִּׂל לַכוּי ךְיֵאְו ,הֶז לַע םָלוֹעֵמ רֵמרְַמְתִה
eyes (one must internalize): HaKadosh Baruch Hu stated that if ,וֹשְׁפַנ תֶא םֵחַנְל םיִמוּחְנַתּ םוּשׁ זָא וֹל וּליִעוֹי אלְֹו .הָשׁוּבַּה
your desire is to escape (completely avoid) from Gehinnom, then
stay far away from Lashon Hara and you will merit (good) both לָכּ ךְירִָצ ןֵכּ לַעְו .הֶזָבּ הָשָׂעֶשׁ הָלְוַעָה לדֶֹּג תֶא דיִמָתּ וֹרְכָזְבּ
