Shnayim Yomi - Sefer Vayikra Launch Event - Boca Raton, Florida

You guys are the reason that this myth is going to go to the next level. We fall victim to the ideologies of the time and we don't necessarily examine it. Not dealing with reality is exactly what idolatry really is about. We have to be on fire. For Lashon Hara it's not not easy. It's a whole lot of an obligation. It's a deal that's quoted in Shulchan Aruch. It's a responsibility that we have. It's no different than other areas of Halacha that are non-negotiable. We don't take for granted and yet so many neglect it. Because it's hard. Arguably it may be never harder than say for Vayikra. The sign of a person that really recognizes the existence of Hashem is the sign of the person that knows that thinking about life, thinking about what is, thinking about the future is what existence is all about. Will the fire fight through? Will the fire last? Will the fire persevere? Will the fire continue to burn? Even when it faces the rain that's trying to put it out.
