Chofetz Chaim Yomi Hilchos LH 1:5-6 You Have To Lose Your Job Not To Speak Lashon Harah {Day 28}

progress. Okay. Hey, good morning everyone. We're continuing and we have a brief one today. There's no differentiation in the prohibition of speaking whether you on your own initiative decide to say or your friend stood up against you and he pressured you and he created pressure. Don't say it's not my fault. I I I wasn't I wasn't going to say it. But he put he finagled. He pressured. He harassed me. So I had to say it. No, it's your problem. You're not allowed to say it. Even your father or your obligated in their honor and in their in their fear. You have to honor them. You have to fear them. You're not allowed to contravene their words. If a father or rebi said, "Could you tell me this and this and it's not relevant to them. They're just asking out of curiosity or maybe a genuine interest." Even if there's somebody you have to honor and respect, you know, then the course of conversation, you will have to be saying some derogatory information or even the dust of listen to them and you cannot speak. Let's say a person sees that if he's not someone who slanders people in the coffee room, people are going to think he's a nerd and he's going to be fired from his job. Does a person have to jeopardize his livelihood not to speak lash? Of course, one has to give up all their money not to speak lash even if he sees if by accustoming oneself in this of not speaking never to disparrage another Jew or any similar type of prohibited speech. you're going to suffer a great loss when it comes to your livelihood. Let's say other people hired you and they are people maybe they went to yeshiva but they don't have the smell of it is known in our many sins people who are not benra they are flagrant in this terrible sin if they see another guy or girl who their mouth is not open wide like them. They're going to consider them a fool and a simpleton and they're going to remove you from your job and you will not be able to put food on the table. You cannot speak. A person has to give up all their money not to speak. It's still like any other that you're obligated to give up all your money and not violate the adds we know in even on you have to give up all your money. So let's say somebody comes over to you in he wants to talk to you. You would have to give up all your money not to say one word to them. A person has to give up all their money even not to violate an issan. So even if by maintaining this practice one will one will suffer a serious financial loss. One would have to give up all their money. So you can imagine the great reward if somebody has is tempted to speak lash and they don't the reward has to be more than all your money because since you're obligated to give up all your money and so you could be sure that whatever reward is vouched safe for you is greater than whatever money you have. Rabbi say have an amazing day. Thank you so much. Recording stopped. I command
