421 views
What can we uncover by looking at the punishment the Torah metes out for the sin of gossip? Why is he sent out of the encampment when he is stricken with spiritual leprosy (tzara'as)? Why does he call out 'impure, impure?' Why are the merits of the one who spoke gossip taken away and transferred to the one he spoke about? What is the depth of the concept of loving one's neighbor as oneself? How does one develop that love? Find out in this week's parsha podcast.

this week's parsha and in the outside of
Israel is Caesarea and Mansoura to
parshas together and in our partial we
speak about the concept of the Matsuura
the menorah is the leprous person we're
not speaking about the leprosy of today
but rather a spiritual illness which was
manifest on them on the body and the
targets all description of how it's
recognized how its treated how it's
taken care of and it's very clear from
the Pacific from the verses that we're
speaking about a spiritual illness it's
not brought to a doctor it's brought to
a coin to a priest and our sages tell us
our cause I'll say that what is the
reason there's a number of different
reasons why person gets spiritual
leprosy why he gets are us but the main
reason that we we are aware of that we
speak about is for lush and Harper
speaking gossip I'd like to share with
you a beautiful piece and we'll see how
much of it we can get through because
it's rather long from replying
Freelander on the parsha loshon hora

others and I'm going to speak about the
the contrast between that and the after

to the other when we speak about these
two ideas to Torah expects greatness of

not as rich as me yeah covets believe
milam Shia who yes remember cult over
the person will always have in his heart
I still want to be better than him it's
a Vikas - like the epiclesis arcane Aziz
believe when the tour is commanding us
the Torah is is in joining us is asking
of us to be greater than that not to
allow any kin of jealousy in our hearts
oh yeah better voice ha ha very a person
is enjoined by the Taira
tor is asking of us to be happy when
another person is rich to be happy when
he has it just as much as us if not more
because your are the ways to learn
actually thinks you were in bahasa just
like I want for myself I should want my
friend there shouldn't be differences
there shouldn't be different levels of
love there's one love the same love I
have for myself tor asks me to have for
others
and by the way this is not in the book
but an amazing thing to do when a person
feels jealousy is to pray for that
person to Davin I asked a shim sham
please give that person all the things
that I want for myself and enumerate
them make a list and pray for that
person and at the beginning it might
feel fake but doing it a bunch of times
it starts to be real it's amazing the
schmuck who expects us he enjoins us God
shows us it's possible to change to
change our attitude autumn clay sheesh
so refined Frieden explains based on the
run bond that a person thing shouldn t
have a release on my lash like if

something positive it does not take away
from you at all what he has does not
take away from you hello adorama yeah
very versatile ha very easy with SATA
type Hashem wants us it's like a parent
I look at my kids when I see Cosmodrome
if they were fighting as kids do I say
to them I want you to want good for the
other one I want you to love your sister
I want you to love your brother I want
you two to be happy that the other
person has something good and it's not
an easy thing to do I'm jealous why did
she get a candy I didn't get a candy
crush on the children share but not
always so that's what the tire is
telling us that it's possible to be
happy when someone else has something
the Capcom etc now looking at it from
the other side from the side of bad
crash and Haro who cares D maybe
I'll have to let her come off of the
power of gossip is the opposite of
loving our neighbors of summer capture

Charlie Deborah who alkane mazak Venetia
has a through speaking so he's
causing damage to the other person he's

with explaining the question that we
asked earlier under the Emma's Amica

cannot knock down his friend and can't
bring up his own self that way between I

seeing the positive in other people is
what raises us all up and raises him
that raises the person himself the Fiza
of our marina Rev a governor of Destler
since our deaths or explains like this
if she do she shall Clarisse hello vote
yes
why is the reason why the positive
things pass over to the side of the to
the one who was spoken about and the
negative things that the person was
spoken about is passed over to the
person who spoke gossip
what's the reason baba you lamb device
I'm interconnected me though it's it is
me to connect namida it's perfect its
its measure for measure because I'm not
gonna read us inside but the idea is
that the person who speaks the Shannara
has a mistake he thinks that by knocking
down somebody else he gets lifted up so
in einem how brothers show him the truth
that that is that's completely untrue
that by knocking down someone else you
don't get picked up that the you have
the wrong guy of the wrong approach to
life you misunderstand what happens and
so the punishment he receives is that
something else which is in line with the
fact that he thinks that knocking
someone else down picks him up the media
can give me that is he ends up with the
negative the negative aspects of that
person come to him
that's meter connected me de knock on
Shane's a shia claw it's true that it
doesn't really have to do with him he
doesn't he doesn't really deserve the
punishment for those sins of allure
atlas carlos remit their chakra Marama
alpha very but what did he do he tried
to say that person's negativity knock
him down so that I can have something
positive now you will see me in a good
way so he was already me octase he
already was saying that the negativity
of that person he can use for himself in
a positive way so he ends up the
punishment is that he ends up with the
negativity of that person in a negative
way which is the truth
are they owners I use borrow I'm a Koosh
Koosh leonardo loshon Hara through this
punishment so he sees the depth of the
mistake of the a Sahara of lush and
horror speaking gossip you can you see
cannot hate and this is how he rectifies
it looking dark abyss lush and harlots
you know intersect it's specifically in
this is ER of loshon Hara that we find
this type of punishment yes you're the
app has a check of our most readable
ocean are so that he understand the
depth of the lie the foolishness okay so
I just wanted off on a positive note
here that the idea and the punishments
all
signify and give him an opportunity to
recognize that he has had by speaking
negatively of others he doesn't really
bring them down he brings that himself
that's why he ends up as what kind of
free under there explains that's why he
ends up in a all alone by himself
without any access to others without any
relationship to others he ends up in a
place by himself and yes the quote
taught me tell me you grow please have
compassion on me please I'm impure pray
for me that I should that I shouldn't
have this impurity I shouldn't stay on
me anymore he is nice cochlear akame
Haran you must have the compassion of
others he recognizes he is forced to
recognize that the negativity that he
was sure that he was using the try
raised himself up now he needs the
positivity of others to help him he
needs to recognize that we are all
interconnected
I need the compassion of others I need
the love of others and in the same way I
need to love others I need to recognize
that we are all one goof we are all one
body we are all one soul we are all one
people the Jewish people and so I mean I
need to see myself as you mentioned I
need to see myself as part of that whole
as part of that team the bring got into
the world team the Jewish team the team
of the people of Israel and by doing by
recognizing that so that's how we focus
on if you have to learn how come oh ho
the opposite election on the opposite of
gossip loving our neighbors our self
recognizing that no not just that I want
him to have good I want to have the same
good as me recognizing that we are truly
brothers that we are truly part of the
same team
Shem should help us Hashem should bless
you and please bless me back Shem should
bless us all that we should be able to
steer away from the negative of gossip
of trying to of the of the falsehood we
should recognize the falsehood of
knocking down others to pick ourselves
up a Shem should help us to recognize
that we don't need that that Hashem
should help us see our our true Milas
the true positives within ourselves the
true good accomplishments that we are
accomplishing throughout our lives a
sham Shabbos to see that Shem showed up
is to see the positive in our friends
and to speak the positive to love others
as ourselves and to wish only good upon
all those around us thank you so much
