GuardYourSpeak: Speech is Why We’re Here
http://guardyourspeak.blogspot.com/2012/09/speech-is-why-were-here.html
What we say, why we say it, and why we shouldn't be saying most of it. Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Speech is Why We’re Here. Although the Gesher HaChaim enumerates no less than thirteen specific attributes that distinguish human beings from animals, the miracle of speech is the gold standard of that distinction, and through it man connects to Hashem by way of Limud Torah and tefillah. At its core, speech is the outward representation of the Neshama and the means by which one manifests his inner kedusha.

GuardYourSpeak: The Clarity of Context
http://guardyourspeak.blogspot.com/2012/06/clarity-of-context.html
What we say, why we say it, and why we shouldn't be saying most of it. Tuesday, June 12, 2012. The Clarity of Context. In the wonderful world of average people a.k.a. our world, we the people, the Beinonim who occupy the great center that fills in the divide between the Tzaddikim from the Reshoim all tend to stumble in very similar ways. Where’s that back story that would flesh out the possible motivation for whatever it was that ran afoul your perception of right and wrong? The Chofetz Chaim tells us th...

GuardYourSpeak: Duck!

What we say, why we say it, and why we shouldn't be saying most of it. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. GuardYourSpeak: Keep Your Lip Halakhically Zipped. We said that The Beis Din shel Maala….doesn’t give your sins the time of day UNLESS the Satan, in his role as the prosecuting attorney, brings an accusation against you, because without an accusation there can be no court case. And Loshon Hora is the only thing that can point the Satan’s accusative finger in your direction. As we said in. And if that doesn̵...

GuardYourSpeak: Keep Your Lip Halakhically Zipped
http://guardyourspeak.blogspot.com/2012/07/keep-your-lip-halakhically-zipped.html
What we say, why we say it, and why we shouldn't be saying most of it. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Keep Your Lip Halakhically Zipped. Most of us are well aware that the bottom line of Loshon Hora is that the Torah forbids us even to speak the truth about someone if it is denigrating or will cause him damage. But what if you kept your lip halakhically zipped? Then we are told that the Satan will not have reshus to speak the truth about you. The Beis Din shel Maala works pretty much the same way, and that...

GuardYourSpeak: It’s Lowly
http://guardyourspeak.blogspot.com/2012/07/its-lowly.html
What we say, why we say it, and why we shouldn't be saying most of it. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Much of the loshon hora that is spoken, be it born of ignorance or willful blindness is fueled by a number of misconceptions as to what is fair game for one’s barbed tongue. And those misconceptions are themselves rooted in a serious lack of understanding as to what the laws of loshon hora are all about. But rather not to do something lowly. 8221; If there is a constructive purpose in drawing attention to the ne...

GuardYourSpeak: Someone Who Wants To Be Purified
http://guardyourspeak.blogspot.com/2012/07/someone-who-wants-to-be-purified.html
What we say, why we say it, and why we shouldn't be saying most of it. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Someone Who Wants To Be Purified. The Gemara (Arachin) teaches us that everyone who speaks Loshon Hora amplifies their sins and enlarges them until they reach Shomayim. Moreover, as we learn in the Tanna De’Vei Eliyahu, the. Actual) Loshon Hora spoken by a person ascends to the Heavens, to Hashem’s Holy Throne of Glory. Fallout engendered by the speaking of Loshon Hora. And that’s only his warm up act. The Chof...

GuardYourSpeak: August 2012
http://guardyourspeak.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
What we say, why we say it, and why we shouldn't be saying most of it. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. The Chofetz Chaim’s Twofer. GuardYourSpeak: Don’t Even Think About It. We tightened the noose around the vagueness by jettisoning the word potentially. For those without calculators, this works out to a minimum of 11Torah violations for every comment that crosses the line from what is permitted to what is not, with two curses thrown in for good measure. You told Reuven what Shimon said about him? Not the one ...
