progress. Okay, good morning friends. We're continuing in we're in the today we will finish with Hashem's help the I guess tomorrow at 9:15 we will try for to begin the lavven the lavven tomorrow is very short actually so if you say it's a short day tomorrow shouldn't take more than 5 minutes probably maybe even less okay says because of all the many evils that are found in this despicable character trait. The Tory warned us ex specifically in the not like anger, cruelty, mockery, scorn and other corro corrosive corrupt character traits. Even though they also ruin the image of the soul and its picture. In other words, even though these character traits are also very destructive and about the Torah alluded to in many places, as it is clear in the words of there's no explicit in the don't get angry, don't be cruel, don't engage in mockery. But lash because of its terrible destructive power, the Torah specifically warns us not to speak lash. Also, it would seem obvious another reason why the Torah specifically warns about this when we look carefully about this detail, namely It basically includes all the negative prohibitions and positive commandments that you could find between man and his friend as well as many between man and as we will explain if Hashem so desires. For the Torah warned us explicitly so that we don't fall into this trap. You see, if it would just be that a person would say, well, I'm not going to speak because maybe I'll violate this, maybe I'll violate that. But if it doesn't say explicitly, they may fall into the lash trap. So to avoid that, we fall into this trap. The Torah specifically warns us, don't speak. I in the future will explain this at greater length. And from here it will emerge a great benefit for many other and furthermore maybe the will be slaughtered smitten by us seeing the great stumbling back that comes about through one's words. I began with the help of the one who endows man with das. I feel like this point uh already mentioned in the hakama. Yeah. in the end uh the second to last paragraph of the okay first you have to know the general rules now is if you speak about your friend's disparagement is to tell another person what their friend said or did to them. The first thing you need to know is even if it's true like you have the the guy who says what's wrong what's wrong said it's true pal you did a very good job of speaking lash because that's what is if it wasn't true it wouldn't be whether he's present or the person the subject of your conversation is not present There's no difference between the speaker or the recipient. Right? You have the guy somebody speaking. No, he's sitting there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What are you shaking your head? You're being over alive in the Torah by shaking your head. No, no, no. It's America. Live and let live. No. If you want to live, then you have to tell him not to say this because you are minimizing your life by listening to his lash. You have to tell do me a favor. I'm not interested. You know, tell me about the Yankees or something, you know. Um is someone who believes the report even if you don't support him and add any details just to believe in your heart that it's true. By doing so, you are called to bearing a false report. Don't bear a false report. So you'll say, "But it's not false. It's true." Are you believing if it's true? How can you be don't believe a false report if it's true? So we're going to discuss that. The answer is because even if it's true, it's inevitable that there will be a detail that's not true. All of these general rules have roots and branches. Just like all components of mayhem give us the merit to know them clearly. You should know. You should know that when we write your or what we mean to say is you're going to be whether you speak lash or whether you speak or whether you are lying or you're telling the truth. So in other words, These are what we call the four categories. This is the meaning what I'm going to write in the first four scenarios. Well again unless we explain explicitly that's only going on one of these categories. All we're left to do is to explain by is it going on where are the guys present or even if he's not present is it going on the one who speaks that includes every scenario. I would just write briefly all eight scenarios. So in other words, the eight scenarios are his presence, non his presence, the speaker, the recipient or true or false says remember what I'm telling you. I'm not going to say it many times in this. First we will explain how many lavender then how many and then how many one is and how many great one is I divide it into two sections the inner part is called the source of life And the surrounding commentaries called if you want to know the reason for these names already in the I'll explain under what scenario you're and other this I have embarked upon with the help of he who grants intelligence. Okay, this concludes the the of the and tomorrow we will see we will start the lavin which lavin one is over by speaking lashinhara. Have a good day everyone. Cult of recording stop [Music] the Muro.
