Jew Talk- Rabbi Ephy Greene

i'd like to speak about a miso de reza that we mentioned twice a day but often we feel very uncomfortable or disingenuous when trying to fulfill this mitzvah this i'm referring to is vidibartabam if speaking in words of torah it is a mistletoe we mention every day in the shema to speak in the words of torah and yet sometimes it's uncomfortable for us when we're walking with a friend to bring up words of torah rather than talking about the news or the weather or anything else that's going on in life um the idea of speaking in words of torah we see already from the brothers of yosef when yosef sends them off from it's ryan to go back up to uh to yaakov and tell them that yosef is alive and that's right he tells him i'll tear gazuba don't get too involved in learning but you and while while you're traveling on the way could you imagine after such news yosef is alive they're to he's going to save the whole family and bring them down to mitzvah with food and provisions and they're going to talk in in learning absolutely they might get so perturbed from their learning that it would delay their travels so he tells them be very careful why because this is how a jew goes with him he's speaking in words of torah while he's traveling i remember many years ago walking uh from my home to shul and um almost weekly on my way to shoal on child this morning meeting up with a neighbor we didn't have much relationship before i had moved to town and uh because we were on the same route on the way to shula each week so we would share the ray torah and we built a very beautiful relationship ultimately and our families became very close and relationships which can be built on words of torah are relationships which are really pinning down the greatest potential of each of the partners as human beings our greatest opportunity to connect hashem is through his words of torah through sharing his wisdom with one another and when we salvage our conversations to be focused on vedibar tabam on words of torah on words of words of so then our conversations become vehicles not only towards uh being but towards great banana malcolm as well and therefore the mitzvah of the debate is an opportunity for us to uh not only grow in our own learning but also to build other jews as well we know that the kumari saks marcus tells us the actions of passage who learn by themselves they keep their torah to themselves so the kumara learns out that it's as though they deserve a sword on their necks because the torah is meant to be shared and so therefore we should not feel uncomfortable or disgenuine in bringing up hey you want to listen to a vort hey can i tell you something i learned today but rather feel very comfortable sharing torah this is the language of the jewish people linger with the jewish people is always talking in spirituality roughness and we should continue to to build one another as we do this kind tells us also that a person who is speaking aside from all the other various of errors that he does in speaking washing hara he is also over on the assay of the hashem gave us the the power of speech in order to promote life as a vehicle towards hashem to use speech in order to say positive things as a way of learning torah a person who uses a speech for watching heart instead is perverting that great gift that hashem gave him and uh should should try to focus more on uh the ultimate purpose of what being a medabear is all about being at the peak at the highest level of creation as an obligation towards as an opportunity towards sanctifying our speech for holiness for getting close to hashem have a wonderful day
