Zohar Parsha Korach. Lubavitcher Rebbe & Rebbe’s Father Kabbalist. By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is K the question of the week is is it possible to repent from Gossip so this week's Torah portion K we're going to learn from the Z the Z says as follows AR is on the right side the Li on the left side and K came along and he wanted to switch from right to the left from left to the right that was his first issue the second issue the zor says that he got involved in Gossip comes along D's father and he explains these two ideas of switching right to left and gossip so's father explains switching right to left that's the that's messing with Z the the small face of the mid gossip is already speech that's Mal so the explains what does this mean he says something very powerful he says basically when a person does gossip so what's gossip gossip is it's it's nothing you're not accomplishing anything and he brings in the tal that says that you look look at the the lion the lion goes ahead and devours something he wanted to eat it or another animal wanted to eat it says what happens like this it's different sins that people do let's say for example someone goes ahead and and and and eats something which is forbidden he enjoyed it someone goes ahead and works in Shabbat he wanted to earn the money there was a benefit not justifying it but when someone gossips what's the benefit the only benefit is it's just basically a bad a very bad attribute there's no value no benefit so there but nevertheless even though there's no benefit when it comes to gossip you can repent because there's nothing that stops one from repenting however when you start switching right to left and left to right which means that when someone gossips you know it's wrong fine you did something wrong you you go ahead and you ask for God for forgiveness but when you say no what's right it's wrong it's wrong it's right how you going to do chuva so the answer the question can someone repent from gossiping sure providing you acknowledge that it's wrong and if as long as you acknowledge wrong you can fix it but if you start saying it's right how you going to go ahead and fix it thanks so much for joining us for this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to memory of May the souls be elevated by Torah with studying in the memory for more information please see our website kabad sf.org have a great and blessed week sh to
