A Time To Speak and a Time to Stay Silent - Rabbi Yamin Goldsmith

continues some of the topics of parashastriya primarily about the halachos and the mitzvos and the spiritual punishment of saras in parshas mitsura specifically we hear about the tahara process of the mitsura how a mitsura a person who had saras now becomes tahor and the torah tells us that as part of the torah process the person who used to have sarah's has to bring two birds it's in vayikra park udalid pasik dalit and the torah tells us that one of those birds gets shattered and one of those birds gets set free and the question is why what's the message what's the message of one bird being shaktid and one bird being set free the sfas ms alter the guerra reby who died in 1905 quotes the zohar and the zohar says that the reason why a person gets sarah's why a person gets the game is because of al mila bisha says the zohar and al-malin a person gets punished sarah specifically for words for good words that they say and bad words that they say and that seems a little bit strange i understand why a person would get punished for bad things that they say and hara lying things like that but why should a person be punished for good things for good words why should they be punished for good words this zohar and this fascemas is explained beautifully by the shemen hatov and he says the following beautiful idea he says that when you say something bad when you say a word that you shouldn't say lash and hara let's say that word should be like the bird that gets shafted you want to say something bad you want to make a fellow jew feel bad those words get rid of those words however the opposite is also true you want to say something nice but you choose not to because it's a little bit awkward it's a little bit uncomfortable like the bird that you set free set those words free a person can get punished for bad words that they say and they get punished for good words that they don't say we have to kill somebody with our words but we also have the koach to be high to somebody to make them live so let's use those words set those words free say hello say good morning say shalom say how are you and these are the messages of sarah's name to use the koa khadibur properly have a good shabbos everyone you
