Say NO To Lashon Hara Day 22

Say NO To Lashon Hara

04-07-2023 • 6 min

In today's Say No To Lashon Hara episode, we discuss the importance of being mindful of our actions and words. The Chafetz Chaim teaches that just as a computer has an antivirus scanner to protect it, we need to have a background scanner that checks our actions and words to ensure they align with God's commandments. Speaking Lashon Hara not only goes against our fear of God, but it also wastes precious time that could be used for Torah study or other meaningful activities. Every word of Torah spoken is a mitzvah, while every word of Lashon Hara is a sin. Therefore, indulging in Lashon Hara not only results in spiritual losses, but it also equals out to all other sins combined. It's important to prioritize our time and focus on positive actions rather than engaging in negative speech.
