>> Okay, good morning everyone. You know,
we just learned that said it's the to be
others to give other people an aliyah
cuz to buy yourself an aliyah is cheesy.
By the way, you know what else is
cheesy? To have to announce by every
single she about the campaign. Really?
One of you guys should do it. Why do I
have to do it every time? Maybe I have
to have a volunteer, but you know the if
if nobody's going to buy flowers, you
always have to you got to buy it for
yourself. So, I don't know if we have a
volunteer. I'm very happy if somebody
wants to take over and announce
tonight's campaign. You just let me
know. I'll be more than happy to to let
someone else do it. In the meantime,
while you're all fighting over it, I'm
just going to let everybody know that
tonight we begin the annual campaign for
really all the listeners wanted to jump
in and announce it that you can make a
team page, which is really the best way
to help out or you um go to
charity.com/mh.
Okay, we are continuing in
we are up to
Zion. Clal Zion
and we're going to have a
double header today because it's very
brief.
In this cl we're going to explain the
prohibition of
if it was said
if it was said in front of three people
said in front of the guy
if you heard it from many people let's
say many people told you the same
or their rumors swirling
you heard it from a guy who said it in
the course of conversation
or let's say you heard it from a guy
that you could believe like two people.
Let's say a guy gets up and he makes an
announcement of in front of many many
people. So you say, "Oh, obviously it's
true. Otherwise, he wouldn't go out on
the limb and say it in front of many
people." No. May maybe it's not true.
It's not true.
He would lie in front of a thousand
people. Yes, he would without a problem.
We we should assume he's lying.
Even so, you should not definitively
assume it's the truth.
You could be concerned for it. You could
investigate.
If it became clear, then rebuke the guy.
Let's say a guy announces, you know,
he turns his phone off, but he has his
phone in his pocket in the shul. And
let's say he made this announce in front
of a hundred people. You shouldn't
believe it. You should not believe it.
Why? Why would you assume a Jew would be
Malish?
It's bad enough that the B mikdash was
destroyed and now this Jew wants to
jeopardize the welfare of the Jewish
people by bringing his phone into Ashul.
No, you should not believe it. But you
could be and if you find out that it's
true, you should call up your friend and
say really, you know, it's the three
weeks we're mourning the mikdash. The
only way really Hashem could bring it
back is if we show covet to this thing
that says please do me a favor. Leave
your phone out
of there's no to speak to believe. What
if the speaker told you about what plane
does in his presence
and you look at ply and ply turned white
like a ghost and he doesn't say a word.
So you assume
No, if unless he says yes, I did it. You
can't believe it
since you never heard any outright
admission
of certainly if the speaker is not
saying it in front of him. But he says,
"Believe me, I'm telling the truth
because I would say it in front of him."
He's saying
that I would say these words in front of
him.
you're not allowed to believe him
and in our many sins people are very uh
stumble in this greatly
even if he is silent
when they're relaying this derogatory
information say oh he's silent it must
be true
he cannot take from this any indication
that is true
even if it's his nature always shalo not
to be so what if this guy is a hotthead
and anytime anybody says anything bad
about him he gives it he lashes back and
now all of a sudden he became quiet like
a mouse it must be it's true
what if this guy's nature is never to be
silent
now he's silent no you can't take it as
a that it's true
because Now maybe now his nature he he
overcame his
base nature
and he decided
not to respond to a quarrel
or he's a smart guy. He knows that
there's nothing that he could say that
will in any way minimize what people
think about him. So he figures I'm only
I'm only going to add insult to injury
if I open up my mouth and say it's not
true. the other guy is going to say,
"Oh, really? It's not true." And he's
just going to insult me more. So,
like the bad custom in the world,
then people's mind, they've decided
that anytime somebody says bad
information in the person's presence,
even if the guy who it's about
contradicts it a hundred times,
they'll never believe him. They'll never
believe the person who it was spoken
about even if he says it's not true.
Therefore, he decided
it's better to remain silent
and to be from those who are insulted.
Therefore,
you shall not take a from this to the
side that the matter is true.
that the matter is true. Okay, that's um
Juan Limud, don't go anywhere.
