I I want to share with you a mash that hit me very hard from the about why is it important not to speak. Imagine and this can happen sometimes in shs. Imagine you walk into Shak in the morning and a person has his makava. He has this permanent spot in the shul and he sees some random person that never prayed in that minan in that shul ever before. He sees that person sitting by his seat and this guy who walked in and he sees this person that nobody recognizes sitting in his permanent seat. He starts he starts getting upset and he tells the guy, "Get out of my seat." But he says it loud. Obviously, it's the wrong thing to do. And the guy gets embarrassed. But the guy keeps on going and says, "Who are you? Nobody ever heard of you? No one knows who you are. You just walk in. You sit in any seat. What are you doing?" The guy gets embarrassed. He has no choice. And he moved away. Then imagine after is over says the writ. Imagine after is over the rabbi of the shul that everybody respects walks in and he sees that random Jew quote unquote that he kicked out. He sees him and he says, "Hey, why do we deserve such a important figure, such a person over here in our rabbit goes over to him and hugs him and kisses his hand and then you find out that you know who this random Jew was?" Let's bring in our terms. Our leader trusted THIS GUY BLINDLY. HE LOVED HIM. The Benishai's best friend was this guy. The Baba Sali's Kavut, you know who he loved so much? This random Jew that he kicked out. And the list goes on. Kyvski trusted this man so much. He trusted him blindly. Obviously, if we're going to hear that the Benishy theali, if all the leaders of the world trust this individual so much, there must be something good, very good about such a person. IF OUR GDIM TRUST HIM BLINDLY AND LOVE HIM, then obviously he's something special. And you kick this guy out of his seat just like that says that not once and not twice, many times throughout the Torah, Hashem tells us how he loves every single Yehoud. And I know we hear these terms all the time, but who really lives by that term? And I'm talking to myself. Hashem values every single Yehudi. So when one speaks lash says another Ye, YOU KNOW WHO YOU SPEAKING AGAINST? You're speaking against somebody that Hashem loves. And if Hashem loves and trusts, that's who he made you a Jew and gave you the Torah. IF GOD TRUSTS HIM, then who are you to make fun of him? That's a mash. What a powerful mash. If Hashem loves that Jew you're about to speak about, it's not worth speaking because you love Hashem. You love Hashem. Love that person as well because Hashem loves them. Tremendous mashad.
