Rabbi Lazer Brody: The Power of Speech

with hashem's loving grace we're delighted to participate once more in the risk and reward series sponsored by our wonderful friends at hazak at chickens for shabbos and torah anytime i'm sure you know hazak and tour but i want to introduce you to chickens for shabbos not many people know about them but they are very special group uh because they're people know hazakita anytime because they're two of the biggest outreach giants in in the jewish world in the american jewish world but uh as far as chickens for shabbas let me tell you chickens for shabbos are who these special people are but to understand who they are i'm going to tell you about a little boy i'm not going to mention his name and there are a lot of little boys like that in your sholai and svat and beit shemesh and ofakim and shidero okay a little boy that as his father left home and his father left home left his mother in a gooner where the mother's a single family parent little boy doesn't have a father and you see the little boy that when the other kids are playing ball in recess in the hater he's sitting on the side by himself why is he sitting on the side because he doesn't have any energy he's tired he wants to go to sleep but even more than that his stomach has pangs of hunger he didn't have anything to eat today and this is no joke this is if this was the reality in eretz's royal before corona after corona and the unemployment and all the develop that's even worse right now okay this little boy with no father at home it comes to haider with no sandwich because mother didn't have anything to give him and he sees all the little other little boys they take out their bamba and recess they're eating their bamba and they're exchanging sandwiches this one's changing his chocolate sandwich for the other one's peanut butter sandwich and he's looking all this corn he doesn't have anything to barter he doesn't have anything to exchange and no one understands what's happening to this little boy that his heart is breaking and a lot of times not even his hater teacher understands him he's scolds him how come you're not concentrating how can you not listen to the sure he can't concentrate rebbe because he didn't have anything to eat and when it doesn't have anything to eat the brain can't function and nobody pays attention to this little boy except for one person and i get goosebumps when i tell about this one person this one person is the volunteer for chickens for shabbos who hunts out families like that who wants that little children like that and make sure that that little boy's mother has something to cook and especially something for cooking shabbos not only does he bring her kick chickens for shabbos uh but he brings her to the money that comes from the wonderful contributions not only does he bring it's tug of money not only they're buried triggers for shabbos but he sees that little boy needs help in learning because of his lack of nutrition and his whole personal story he's got no father the other boys and also it's a buddy and they come to learn with their father he's got nobody to teach him so they arrange a tutor for these boys and i'm talking about one boy i'm not talking about two boys i'm talking about 1200 kids like this and you're talking about over 5 000 kids that chickens for shabbos feeds and hearts you swirl alone i don't even know what they do in america but it's narrative's role because they're partners with the adele ezra everybody knows about yada yada okay so chickens for shabbos and they work on no overhead they'd have no administration and no fancy offices and it all goes the money you don't that goes directly to hungary torah families to lagunas to single family um to orphans uh to ribba's rabbit hyderabad's that just can't afford to put food on the table all types of reasons for people the hiders would close them getting their salary unbelievable it's an unbelievable head of this organization and i'm proud to have an association with such sadiki as the people behind chickens for shabbos so it's a great mitzvah to donate to them and you can donate to them by going to chickens for shabbos okay i'm gonna spell it c h i c k e n s f o r s h a b b o s dot com chickens for shabbos dot com go there and i use your buy some money it's a unbelievable tour mitzvah and it invokes uh a lot of divine abundance for yourself divine mercy for yourself because the gomorrah says that anyone has pity and mercy on people less fortunate than hashem has pity and mercy and compassion on them and we all need a lot of compassion now and that's we're talking about today but we go from one mitzvah to another mitzvah our subject of our risk and reward talk for today is the power of speech the power of speech cannot imagine what a big mitzvah the power of speech is and it's so very important especially now with everything that's going around we're going to explain that direct with the background of covet 19 and now the second round of fighting the coronavirus even first in the first realm i know here in israel there's tragic tragic over 2 000 deaths an unproportionate amount of deaths in the torah observant community people cannot understand why that is i'm explain that also it's connected to the power of speech this lesson today could save your life and income i'm not joking this is so so very important and so significant and hashem it's something we all have to learn if we want to stop this coral virus and coronavirus and get close to hashem okay so we hope today the purpose of today's lesson is not just to tell nice stories and and talk to you but to strengthen ourselves in myths of observance and particularly in the powers of speech because a power of speech all our yiddish all our judaism our what's in judaism it's praying torah learning all right making our blessings are but addictions everything is connected around speech that the power of speech is one of the most important uh parts of the par important phases of our judaism our jews observance not only that but the three levels of the soul nephesh the whole middle level tells us that this is speech okay so begin by this a question i get from many people many people ask me this i get asked this every single week why are my prayers not being answered people say how come their prayers aren't being answered rabbi i pray for this i've been praying so belong for my soul mate i've been praying so long i have children i've been praying so long for an income how come my prayers aren't being answered good question we're gonna answer that right now okay imagine so you can understand that imagine that a guy is really in love with a girl and he wants to propose to her so what does he do he goes out and he doesn't want to spend money on flowers but that's that he really in love with her but the guy's a sheepskeep so he goes out to the somebody's backyard and he picks a couple of dandelions and he takes the dandelions and puts them in a beer bottle okay puts an old beer body that finds a beer bottle in a gutter somebody threw a bottle and gutter and he said oh this good this bottle is wonderful it's not broken okay i'm not going to give her broken glass that could cut her that him the prospective collar's had fingers that could cut it so at least he thinks he's great he thinks he's great he's giving her a whole unbroken old beer bottle and it's got little blood on it it still smells like beer he doesn't even bother washing it out okay so now he goes and he's got the flowers behind his back and he asks goes to see her that night and he says uh oh my love i look so much in love with you i want you to marry me and will you marry me and he gives her the dandelions and the old beer bottle and she looks at that and she's disgusted she says give me that beer bottle she takes a bear bottle and she breaks on the guy's head get out of here i don't marry a cheapskate like you can't buy big dandelions give me a couple of roses but in a beer bottle an old beer bottle get out of here anybody could understand that uh a girl unless she was really hard up she's not going to marry a guy like that a cheapskate like that who wants that doing a beer bottle but i don't think you understand the point yet some give it to you even more imagine now another couple okay so another couple he also wants to ask the girl to get married so what does he do he takes her to this fancy i remember the last time i was in in burra park they took me to this fancy steak restaurant the glad kosher straight restaurant really exclusive and this and that it was it happened to be in burr park on my birthday says okay replacing we're gonna give it a birthday here good very very fancy thing okay and you can see that there we were there we had an entourage of uh about 10 guys who are celebrating the fact it was an american and my birthday but most of the people there you could see that they were young couples and this was like the last shido where he's about to propose to her okay so imagine you go to a restaurant like this a fancy fancy restaurant like this and they look at the menu and the most expensive thing on the menu is glock kosher chateaubriand what's chateaubriand that's the very bottom ribs before you get to the unkosher ribs of the beef the ribs are too low they've got to be traded with ashkenazim don't eat them okay so he gets the chateaubriand the most fancy ribs and french wine sauce glove kosher french wine sauce bar and the rothschild french wine and it costs maybe 150 dollars for a plate of this and two plates or 300 so they order the chateaubriand okay so first uh waiter comes and he says ladies first and he brings her in a nicer chateaubrian he brings a nice crystal plate and uh she says no give it to him first let's let debbie it's first she's the young lady she wants to give the give the cover to her future hussain okay so she did say now the waiter comes out and he brings her dish but he doesn't bring in a dish she doesn't bring a crystal plate he brings her chateau brionne in a potty you know what a potty is a little babies training toilet and it's got the chateaubriand and a wine sauce and a potty and he puts it in front of her and she's disgusted what's this and her boyfriend is so angry wants to come and punch the waiter he says what's this he said well i'm sorry sir you see that restaurant's full and we ran out of crystal plates but uh you know i i bought this today from my childhood it hadn't been used yet okay so since there were no more plates i figured it surf it in here it's a nice clean it's brand new clean it's cleaned out plastic and the hussaan says what are you crazy are you crazy you've got a meal and to eat it and something like that that's disgusting okay if anybody knows even well but the waiters argue with them the way it says oh it's sterile and it's brand new and it came right out of the store and i even washed it out before i served it here and i disinfected i still are you crazy chateaubriand now you know what this is so even this is chateau bryant this is not dandelions in a broken beer bottle this is chateaubriand okay this is as if you gave her a bouquet of roses in a broken beer bottle but this is chateaubriand fancy rib steak there's fancy ribs in a little baby's potty little baby body rather than a plate now just imagine hold it this is a good scenario imagine that he would serve her in an adult toilet bowl but even adult toilet was clean excuse me for being graphic but you have to understand why our prayers are not being answered okay this is we're talking about a brand new clean babies toilet okay what about a person who prays to hashem right after he did one of four transgressions either he spoke flattery to an evil person told you personally you're wonderful you're great that's flattery that's called chanufa or he made fun of somebody it's called late sanut or he spoke loshanhara or he lied and this makes a foul mouth and now he goes to hashem and he that are in charge of bringing the prayers and putting them as part of the sheikh crown on hashem hashem's throne on hashem's crown the jewish prayers the zora tells us become part of hashem's crown they take we can't take this to hashem who stinks it comes from a foul mouth this is like just like giving hashem a stake in a toilet bowl the same exact thing you think oh it's what's a rabbit legend telling those this is really graphic it's a nasty story of a rap i told a story like that when you pray what the tsar says the zorro's description is much worse than mine the zoro's description is much more graphic than mine i toned it down the tsar talks about uh what goes inside the toilet then it's even worse i don't even go there okay what happens when a person prays from a mouth that has made transgressions in los angeles someone else or are a lie this is serving hashem a fine meal prayer a fine meal says hashem's blessings and just a name in a toilet wow they can understand it's thrown out the don't even let that prayer get to hashem so you can see whatever you're praying for it's not answered so the very first thing we have to do to get our prayers answered is to clean our mouth disinfect not only physically but spiritually walking around with a mat lately because everybody knows about the the germs that people fly around and from from their mouths but the spiritual germs are much much worse the spiritual germs they put a iron curtain over our head that don't enable the prayers to ascend and that is really really bad news so let's define what a foul mouth is okay the gomorrah in tractate sultan 42a tells us that there are four groups of foul-mouthed people and all four are cast away from the shaina they can't receive the face of the shrine in other words they can't be in the same as the divine presence so divine presence isn't going anywhere but they're not going to be there or else the divine presence is going to leave them it's going to be everywhere else but leave them so where there's no divine presence again a person's prayers aren't answered now even worse than that when the divine presence isn't around the person's prayers go to the dark side if a person learns torah after speaking lies or losing or making fun of another person then all his torah it's again it comes torah the words of torah come out of the toilet bowl it goes all to the dark side because that's where they belong so these people can't believe the shrine and that they can't receive the face of the shrine and what does that mean i mean since there is no vacuum in spirituality whenever holiness leaves there's no vacuum there's no there's no there's no void no vacuum right away the dark side fills the black whether the holy the sleeves the dark side jumps right in wherever you don't have holiness that that's where in judaism it's black and white in other words you can't have there's no gray area where something is half holy or half impure either it's tame or tohoku either it is impure or pure there's no in the middle ground no middle ground so what happens when the dark side comes in it brings with them severe judgments which are called deaning and dna are bad news because dna manifests themselves by the time they filter themselves down in this world they manifest themselves as health problems as income problems and a whole bunch of other types of tribulations so these once again are the four groups these four groups the ones that lie and the ones that are flattery that the ones speak flattery it's not flattery like we know in english flattery and halacha means that uh if someone is really an evil person and people are afraid myself you're such a nice guy to the head of the mafia who goes around killing and robbing people oh you're such a wonderful guy no that's flattery according to halakha all right that's the second group the third group is people that lie and the fourth group the ones losing hara so we don't make fun of people and we don't lie and we don't flatter the evil and we certainly don't speak lotion horror which is scandalous speech okay but derisive speech derogatory speech about any other person no surprise a lot of people jump at me would you be rubbed by any other person the huffington says you don't speak or do you can speak about anyone you want but just not speak about a jew okay first of all you have to learn a half a time a little bit deeper now you don't always know if a person is jewish or not maybe it speaks lush and all right the person is not jewish person is jewish and that's a big problem but not only that people that become accustomed to speak loshinhara to speak evil speech they can't stop so today in the beginning maybe they could say okay well they don't talk about a non-jew they're allowed to talk about a non-jew but they're not going to talk about you but if they get used to the accustom their tongue to evil speech then they're going to be talking about jews and there's no way that's why i insist whenever i teach laws of lash and hara that's about every human being not of every jew every human being every human being that way you don't get in trouble okay now you have to understand that nobody gets a free ride when it comes to forbidden speech nobody and how we know we see this uh we see this in the novi okay and nobody gets off the hook when they mess up on this not even the holy prophet isaiah the holy prophet isaiah if we open up the book of isaiah to chapter six and look at passages five six and seven you know what we find there well isaiah and he was rightfully so that the people of israel really messed up and they were talking bad about one another this and that and isaiah said to hashem he said i'm in the midst of a bunch of people with unpure mouths with foul mouths okay i'm tames fatime i'm with people that have impure lips hashem said isaiah that might be true but if you learn hara bad speeches even when it's true okay if it's not true then not only is it bad streets it's shame it's slander that's even worse than forbidden speech derogatory speech is one thing but derogatory speech we're not supposed to speak bad about other people okay a bad question maybe they've got a hundred good qualities for they're too bad quality don't talk about the bad qualities because by talking about the bad qualities as another person it makes a spiritual stench it brings up it's just like you know what they say that there's something impurity in the sidewalk but it doesn't bother anybody as long as you don't step in it as soon as someone speaks bad about something else it's like stepping in it no leave it alone leave it alone and we don't want it and then what happens in shamayim what happens upstairs they say well who is speaking bad about the other person and then the speaker he gets called on the carpet because he gets his file checked we don't want our file checked individually because what happens is we all on rosh hashanah yom kippur we could judge together and this is what the mission in rosh hashanah tells us we get judged together kazan mayweather just like that sheep going up on mountain run hashem judges together but when a person talks lush and hara about someone else they get judged well who is he let's see if he is free of sin that he could cast the first stone and never free a sin never free of sin if a person gets his archive opened up in the heavenly court it's bad news and they say wait a second hashem look he deserved a b c and d but you didn't do it to him why hashem didn't say a word hashem doesn't speak lush in hara hashem he observes his entire torah to the t hashem didn't say i think word about them so now the heavenly court gets it and the heavenly court demands justice and hashem's hands are tied because it's hashem's laws if someone speaks la shanhara they get judged right away by the heavenly court if someone speaks about another person they get judged right away from the heavenly court now tell you a law in heavenly jurisprudence when you get judged by hashem you always come out innocent hashem is so forgiving hashem is so loving when you get judged by the heavenly court it's the letter of the law nobody gets off the hook no one gets off the hook so by closing our mouths and not talking for a bit of speech by using our mouths only for torah and philip and and doing good deeds doing good deeds then we save ourselves a lot of severe judgments so why say nobody gets off the hook said isaiah isaiah what happened as soon as he said slander even what was true it was true that the people were they did have they did have uh they were talking about lotion or a lot of forbidden speech as soon as isaiah said that hashem sent an angel with a hot coal and boom right away burned isaiah's mouth got his mouth burned right away okay hashem said that the angel said in the name hashem this right here to purify you now you're purified now you're purified this is your only sin isaiah now you're purified and salvation and your sin has been atoned for and the angel says a sin because it was a sin even though it was true it was a sin talking about the jewish people like that hashem expected better behavior than isaiah so wow if this happened to isaiah look what happens to us hey wait a second let's stop and think boom what's going on now look what covet 19 did to all of us sickness and unemployment the number number one and number two problems at cover 19. sickness and unemployment we're not talking about the funerals okay but for those that are living sickness and unemployment and what is the punishment hey coven 19 we all have to cover our mouths enough to cover our mouths and what happened also we got kicked out of shul we got kicked out of shul and thrown away from the divine presence because wherever there's 10 people and a show there's a divine presence is there gamora tells us and then what happens isolation and quarantine where do we see in the torah isolation and quarantine we see it from matsuha a leper a leper gets into isolation that has to go into two weeks of isolation two weeks of isolation that's exactly the same as covert nineteen it's the same thing as in the torah and boom it's right there in our faces now if you've proven more this is unbelievable this unbelievable way we're going to get started right now so what could be more obvious and don't think this is the cause of coven 19. like say oh what is it what later brody thinks he's some big prophet no this is not laser brodie talking this is our sages and the gamora and you back it up normally sages and gomorrah it's the arizona we'll see it's the result telling us and if you don't believe me i'll give you a knockout proof not got proof if we open up the banish high ben yoyada three volumes called ben yo-yo that's the banish highs uh elaboration on gomorrah and much of the banished giza laboratories according to gomorrah they go according to kabbalah because the banished high rabios of haim of baghdad he was a tremendous tremendous makubo okay so banish high and tractate avoid azura when he's elaborating on on page 18 b and avoid azura he quotes the result and he says like this he says what is the problem of making fun of other people like saunas and now he explains he gives an anatomy a spiritual anatomy according to cabola what happens when a person makes fun of another human being this is great listen to this listen to this and go right there and you could go you could you could see it in the arizo in xiaoma marine and you can see the benich high and ben yoda avoid azara 18b okay and i invite you to check all these sources okay that's why i give the sources all right so what happens as soon as a person makes fun of another human being with a speech hey look at this guy makes up for fun and wrinkles what i've been talking about humiliation embarrassment and abuse that's even worse worse worse worse so when you think at home that you're allowed to abuse your wife or embarrass or embarrass your children you can say whatever you want no way because they have the right they're human beings not only human beings they're jews okay they deserve the protection of all the protection of torah and the misfits and they deserve not to be victims they deserve to have a father and a husband that speaks wholesome speech okay what happens as soon as a person speaks unwholesome speech and particularly making fun of another person what happens explains the banish highly result if you take the four letters of hashem's name yud ke vov k every one of these letters represents a different parts of the ten spheres of godliness the uppermost sphere of godliness is the keter the ketter is represented in the un the first letter of utk vk the unit itself is hakma that's wisdom but the very top of the unit the top of what's called the quartz the splinter of the year the top of the unit that is the ketter okay now as soon as someone makes fun of another person then in his midst he is knocking the crown off of shem's name he's ruining hashem's name i shouldn't make him comes in a hole that is why the divine presence leaves the time presence leaves because just like we wouldn't walk around without a keeper right okay the divine presence can't walk around with a kettle this is a hashem's crown keep your hole and say all these things this is just imagery it's metaphors okay but godless defies all this like the rambam tells us in our third principle of a muna that hashem has no no body and i know that defies anything spiritual but we say this in order to understand in our level you know all of kabul is a metaphor although the zorro is a metaphor the torah everything we talk about and torah so many metaphors okay hashem's hand and hashem said okay so understand we wouldn't walk around without a kippah the keepers are ketter a woman's hair covering that is her ketter she would walk around outside with an uncovered head because when hashem doesn't have his ket there his crown the divine presence can't be there because it's an embarrassment to the king he can't be there so hashem leaves so what happens when hashem leaves hashem's crown leaves then comes the dark side's crown excuse me cherish brothers and sisters what is crown in latin corona what could be more obvious that here hashem is showing us that we've been at fault with unwholesome speech covering our mouths getting kicked out of show being in isolation these are all the results of speech when the the faulty speech knocks off hashem's crown comes in the dark side crown in other words anyone that speaks forbidden speech unwholesome speech is crowning the dark side it's like kanye taking the the angel of death and and putting hashem's crown who would consider that heaven forbid million times heaven forbid a zillion times heaven forbid wow so they can understand why there's no divine presence because there's no ketter so what do we have to do we have to bring back the ketter how do we bring back the ken with the kid there we had take gotta get rid of all the forbidden speech and bring in the wholesome speech like this is what the angel did to isaiah he burned his mouth with the cold but we don't have to burn our mouth with coal we could burn our mouth with another type of fire it's the fire of torah torah when we substitute the los angeles and the hanupa that the four different the four different groups that can't receive divine presence they get substituted with and torah and this purifies our mouths this purifies our mouth this makes our mouth the word the crystal plate to bring that chateaubriand to hashem okay this is the something fit to bring to a king and this is what we have to do this is this is our job so you have to understand don't make fun of anybody when people say well what is it was it my fault if i just say something casually and the other person gets insulted well forbidden speech is so so so severe that even when it's accidental a person would still get punished for it now explain to you why imagine that somebody comes out of the hospital and somebody comes in a hospital with a cast on their foot another cast in their foot and they just get the cast off right they had a broken foot or broken toe heaven forbid and then a cast on for eight weeks now they get the cast off so they come out and put their shoes back on for the first time in eight weeks and they leave the hospital and they're walking from the hospital they're walking down the street to the subway and someone casually steps on their toe accidentally and the person yells screaming right it's in my toe my toe oh the person that accidentally stepped on the guy's toe he said what are you screaming about what's that i didn't mean to do that he says yeah you don't understand isn't killing me just hurts he said wait a second it doesn't go the damage doesn't go according to the lack of intention that the person who did the damage the abuser it goes according to the victim the one who suffers the damage he is suffering pain so now shamai i'm okay even though that the person didn't intend to do it okay it's not you can punish less severely but like something else suppose somebody is playing with a baseball outside of your house okay and they hit the baseball and boom goes right through your living room window now you've got a 900 window that's shattered and a person comes and says listen i meant to hit it in the opposite direction i didn't mean to do it it doesn't matter whether you're meant to or not but according to the nazi game according to deep torah uh sir you got to come up with 900 bucks and repay that family you got to pay for the broken window that's it whether you deserve or not now if it's malicious then it's even worse now it's malicious than uh the person's intent it gets it gets even more punishment but this we have to understand even if it's unintentional therefore we have to be so very careful not to make fun about another person we have to be so very careful not to say anything that is painful to another person do you know what how powerful a word is a word is like atomic power atomic power you can light up the city of new york or heaven forbid heaven forbid make a bomb it could destroy the city they feel like it destroyed hiroshima you can't imagine the power words are more powerful than atomic power i'll give an example yesterday i was at exercising and taking a nice walk and i have this app this app one of the walking exercise apps and you put in your goal how many miles you want to talk do what you want to walk in and how many uh how fast you want to go and this and that so i put in a pretty like a a difficult goal and it was an ambitious goal that i want to accomplish and toward the end of the walk after 90 percent of the walk was over uh i was starting to get really tired this was maybe a little bit too much just a little bit too much walking for myself okay comes on the automatic voice the monitor that tells you okay this has been in israel kilometers now it's like you've been half a kilometer kilometer another kilometer a half so the voice comes on the voice says another kilometer meet your goal another kilometer means you go okay kilometers to pace i was walking 10 minutes okay sorry walking around another 10 minutes come on you could do it you could do it here's some silly electronic voice that was pre-recorded that doesn't know anything it's not not a person talking and i got strength to listen to this voice and then when there was half that was done oh there was only half a kilometer left 500 meters left and said come on way to go way to go you're doing it you're doing it you're beating it and it comes right there and whoa it's all kinds of it's really encouraging do you know what happens when a human being encourages someone else when you encourage your wife you say what a fantastic meal was when you encourage your wife to say thank you for the clean iron when you give compliments to people you encourage your son well some parents and son comes home he got a 91 on this homicide why did you get a hundred and he right away looks at the nine points he made wrong and the little boy's upset wow instead of saying wow look at the questions i know the answer question you've got a 91 wonderful you encourage the child he keeps going there's a part of the career positive speech a power positive speech with a positive speech you can give a person life with negative speech you could really kill a person take a person is willed to live right away but a person gets insulted he loses his will to live really this is a good song he loses the good morning says the good morning track day bro and this is so so very serious so person can happen just by saying negative speech something negative to a person a person could be tantamount but a rich on rebuttal hassan rebuild custody was a reason so the person says negative speech negative speech is tantamount to murder he calls it non-apparent murder particularly verbal abuse when a person verbally abuses someone else rebuttal hussein say foreign says this is not apparent murder why because every time a person thinks about how he was insulted by that guy or by that woman then it's right away being murdered again and again so he says that even to be shot in the head with a gun that's less severe than to be insulted because when a person is insulted he relives it relives it when a person gets shot he dies one time but a person who suffers verbal abuse goes over and over and over and that is the power beloved brothers sisters of speech is unbelievable just as you could kill a person with speech you can add life to person with speech yesterday i spoke to a person and the person had some type of addiction and he said to me rabbi i'm an addict i said no you're not don't forget about that you know you're not he says i know they're dramatic i messed up i said no you're not i said you worked for for for a month and a half you were clean for 45 days you were clearing fat no but i messed up and i i said no but you're not an addict now that okay so now 45 to one the eights are hard i got the best of you we have to know that the torah tells us that this is a war for 120 years same thing on our mouths try to slip us up we have to think stop and think before we say something stop and think is this forbidden is this not that's good something eight there push it don't be impulsive because i'll teach you a law it's a three second rule the three second rule is not only in basketball it's with the answer the yetzer has power for three seconds if three seconds you can remember one thing shivity hashem to me i see hashem before me boom the eights to lose all the problem if you could so picture the four letters of hashem's name you'd k love k you won't sin you won't say bad about anybody you won't lie you won't say flattery you won't say loshara and you certainly won't make fun of another person and that way you keep hashem's crown and where there's hashem's crown that can't be coronavirus so you see people understand how come they're big tommy at the corona in this now we see isaiah the prophet isaiah the prophet got punished isaiah the prophets you have to understand hashem is very exacting with the siddiqui is it it's a deakin but we all want to get rid of the coronavirus we have to get a commoditized did that suffered two terrible losses last week two terrible losses right right here in nazis roll on the pittsburgher rabbit pittsburgh rebels he left us and the pittsburgher rabbit was was very healthy and very careful and he followed all the health department guidelines but somebody infected him and boom that was it okay and then a very beloved friend uh doing rafael benami fine show who was probably the one the best soulful hasidic singers that there is i don't call him a singer i call him a manager and his they but they brought me close to hashem and he also at the young age of 72. he left this world this is no joke you have to do so if we want to do something for ourselves and do something for claudius world we all have to do two things and if we do two things i promise you you're gonna have good health and i promise you you could have good income it's not my promise this promise of hope is time hitchhiking on his promise the prophet saw this time this promise of the rishonim promise that the of our moraine it's all in the gomorrah track take that sign checks for pronouncing health if we avoid evil speech okay so there's two things we want to do there's a lot of laws about evil speech but if we all want to overcome personally in our family and outside the whole covenant 19 business number one don't make fun of anybody from this moment you have to understand ridicule making fun and teach this to your children okay teach it to your friends ridicule is like having pork in your refrigerator if someone would ask me i would say making fun of another jew is worse than eating schreife again we're certainly not allowed to eat strafe so if we're certainly not allowed to train then 100 times over we're not allowed to ridicule another jew but like we said another human being so number one let's all accept on ourselves a commitment to do our very best not to make fun of another person number two let's all accept ourselves not to speak bad about anybody true or not true it doesn't matter okay but end on something good and that's something good these two things avoid all bad speech we're not going to make fun about anybody and we're not going to talk derogatory about anybody but just to understand see it really hits home okay if i would call robinson in i asked her to make me a little dough she made fantastic collars yesterday and a big whole big bunch of challahs and and you take this dough and sometimes she gives dough to our granddaughters and they practice making little hollows of their own little challahs okay you take dough or some people take flour and water and they can make use it for glue to stick papers together but take dough and then some people poor people lose it as clay if they're not clay they play with plate that's that the play-doh okay but go flower and water it's nothing if a woman says three words takes a little ball of dough and says three words this is challah that little ball of dough becomes something holy that's only allowed to be eaten in absolute holiness in the holy temple by a coin if anyone else eats that it is punishable by death wow by death definitely a little mundane ball of dough that's what three words does it do in judaism three words it completely changes you take a a basiaco girl she comes out of seminary at 12th grade and a nice looking girl intelligent girl and anybody in the world can marry her but some guy comes along and gives her even a cracker jack ring that's worse more than a than tina guro it's worse when he says to her you are hereby betrothed to me boom and she accepts it asian that's it married woman and hd if anybody else touch her it's a death penalty this is the power of speech the power of speech can rejuvenate something can enliven something and how hospital can be hiroshima you do the opposite so what we want to do we want to add life and add vitality and add health and add parnosa so the two things that by accepting the myths of not making fun about anybody the gemara says when a person makes fun about someone he loses parnosa so by not making fun we'll get parnosa and by not speaking bad about anyone that we say a person who speaks of hashem or the rather gemara says bring the all types of afflictions okay no nega no afflictions that means a person who refrains from speaking derogatory about anyone enjoys good health so by virtue of our efforts not to make fun of anybody and not to speak bad about anybody hashem should not only give us wonderful parnosa and wonderful health but enable us with our own eyes to see mashiach and rebuilding of our holy temple the ghoulish lima speed in our days amen god bless [Music]
