Okay, good evening everyone. We're
continuing in
learning forma.
Okay, we're learning the mitzvah
and we are up to
hey
sometimes by accepting you're also of
rebuke.
Let's say you see your friend starting
to
speak disparagingly about his friend.
And you know that if you say something,
he'll listen to you
or he might listen to you.
you're obligated to rebuke him
so that he doesn't complete the deal and
seal the deal and finish the sin. So if
you know he'll listen or if he might
listen, you must say something. And if
you don't say something,
if you allow him to finish,
you're definitely over the
as explains the mitzvah of is not only
after and this applies of
and this is a mitzvah on the it's not
applicable to The masser
the masser can't say
yeah msapper can't say I'm about to tell
you lashhara I want to rebuke you you
shouldn't be you know that obviously
wouldn't be a a situation but it's on
the there's a footnote here
let's say you make up in your mind that
you'll rebuke him when he's done that's
not correct
You're going to let him eat the and then
tell him he shouldn't have done it. You
should have stopped him in his tracks.
How's it possible that if you'd see your
friend eating the flesh of the swine,
you're gonna allow him to eat it.
reliant on rebuke him rebuking him after
certainly you're obligated to rebuke him
immediately
maybe he'll accept
and he'll stop eating
every is another laugh you're going to
wait until he ate nine then you're going
to rebuke him you should uh stop him in
his tracks
likewise In our case of
every single word of disparagement
is an by itself.
Unless you see,
unless you realize that by letting him
finish the story,
it will be more possible. It will be
easier to clarify between before all the
listeners
from this story itself.
Unless you need him to get it out out to
be able to show from his report that
what he's saying is
or sometimes you need to have him finish
because this is something that even
though you're not to believe but you
have to be concerned maybe it's true,
right? Because you're not allowed to
believe, but you're allowed to uh you're
allowed to be suspicious. Maybe it's
true.
As will be explained, God willing, all
of this later on.
However,
if let's say you don't need him to
finish because you know all he's doing
is he's pouring out disparaging comments
on his friend
or he's just mocking his friend.
Certainly anyone who
hastily
runs
to rebuke
preventing his friend.
He's doing a great mitzvah.
All of this is even if there are other
listeners other than you. Meaning maybe
you'll say why is it my problem? I have
to give him rebuke. I'm not the only
listener. Let someone else rebuke. No,
even if there are nine other listeners,
you're over the
okay
regarding so look earlier in the
whether a recipient is
if there are other listeners that was
the first listener is definitely
additional listeners
it's a question whether
All of the above and
are even if the spoke the disparaging
words on his friend privately between
him and you.
But let's say you attach yourself to
groups of wicked people and
in order to tell them words of
disparagement
or to listen from them. So this is not
just a private affair but you're forming
a group.
Here also the mitzvah say to cling to
explain what this means is
to cling to the sages of
and to diligently
sit among them
in all possible ways. So let's say
there's a davening
the
and the there's a mitzvah. You should be
the person to accompany the come home or
you should be the one to walk them to
talk with them to drive them to spend
time with them in uh
whatever capacity possible.
even to eat or drink with them
or to do business with them
or to cling to them as much as possible.
Why?
It's all in order to learn from their
ways. Therefore, certainly
one who does the opposite of this
that he clings to a group of the wicked.
So by forming a group to speak to listen
to you are violating the mitzvah of
associating with
says the in a footnote
all the more so what is common in our
many sins
on shabas after
there are a lot of groups that form
before the
learners they're probably speaking about
reg other people
they're probably talking about
emptiness
politic sport
weather
definitely it will be rolling off their
tongues
frivoly mockery
tora if you separate from the balora but
you say I don't know what the balor are
talking about you don't have to know
what they're talking about if you leave
the conversation of learning
and then you go and associate with those
speaking chatter
to listen to They're
empty talk.
They're over on this.
Aside from being
even if you have no one to talk with. So
now let's say I don't have an option if
I don't associate with the uh sch
smoozers. I'm not I'm going to be an
outcast. I'm going to be a loner. No
mitzvah.
It's a great mitzvah to muzzle your
mouth
and sit silently
and not go to these bad groups
like tell us
for every moment that a person muzzles
his mouth
he will merit on account of muzzling his
mouth to the hidden light
that even an angel or no celestial
creature could estimate
the great reward for being shy.
Wish everybody
recording stopped.
