Those who refrain from speaking ill of others can rest assured that their entreaties carry great weight in Heaven.

Middah k’neged middah (measure for measure) is the rule of Heaven in all instances.

Those who speak loshon hara cause the Accuser to speak against the Jewish people.

Hashem acts towards us in the way that we act toward others.

The antithesis of Torah study, the greatest of all mitzvot, is loshon hara.

A person who scrupulously refrains from hurting other through words will surely not to so through action.

If one feels that he cannot fulfill all the fine points of a given mitzvah, nevertheless, he should strive to fulfill it to the best of his ability.

(In the recording, we are January 9, 2026 (not 2025))

You stumbled this morning and spoke the forbidden? Then strengthen yourself once more, and succeed in the afternoon.

The longer one persists in guarding his tongue, the easier it becomes.

For each moment that a person refrains from speaking the forbidden, he merits a hidden light that no angel can fathom.
