One of the sins for which one would be afflicted with Tzra\u2019at is Lashon Hara \u2013 Evil Speech. In reference to this, the Medrash on this week\u2019s Torah reading (<a href=\"https:\/\/library.alhatorah.org\/?r1=Vayikra_Rabbah_16:2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vayikra Rabboh 16:2<\/a>) relates a story. There was once a peddler who announced, \u201cWho wants to buy a potion for life?\u201d Rabbi Yanai heard the announcement and said, \u201cCome sell it to me.\u201d The peddler refused the request and told him, \u201cYou don\u2019t need it.\u201d Rabbi Yanai persisted with his request, and the peddler pulled out a Tehillim (book of Psalms) and read the following verses (<a href=\"https:\/\/library.alhatorah.org\/?r1=Tehillim_34:13&amp;s1=2&amp;r2=Tehillim_34:14&amp;s2=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">34:13-14<\/a>): \u201cWho is the man who wants life; who loves days of seeing good times? Guard your tongue from speaking evil.\u201d Rabbi Yanai was very impressed and said, \u201cAll my days I read this verse and I did not know this interpretation!\u201d The obvious question is, what did the peddler say already that Rabbi Yanai didn\u2019t know beforehand? What revelation did Rabbi Yanai see in the peddler\u2019s words which gave new meaning to the verse. On the surface, it would seem like all the peddler did was translate the simple meaning of the verse. What was Rabbi Yanai so excited about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guarding the Tongue: A Prescription for Preserving Spiritual Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chaim_Yosef_David_Azulai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Chida<\/em> <\/a>(Rosh Dovid, Tazria) answers that the life the peddler was referring to is one\u2019s eternal life. Eternal life itself is earned through a person\u2019s effort in keeping the Torah. But the peddler was offering a potion for sustaining the eternal life one earns. The peddler was advising people how to preserve their life in the World to Come, to ensure it does not get lost. The peddler was teaching that if one wants to ensure that the eternal life he earns for himself remains intact, he must make sure to avoid slandering others. Because when a person speaks lashon hara about his friend, the merits of the speaker get transferred to the person he spoke about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Transfer of Merits and Sins: Understanding the Impact of Lashon Hara<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chovot_HaLevavot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chovos Halevavos<\/a> tells a story (<a href=\"https:\/\/library.alhatorah.org\/?r1=Chovot_HaLevavot_6:7&amp;s1=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sha\u2019ar Hakniah, chapter 7<\/a>) about someone who was slandered, and he sent his offender a nice present as a gift of appreciation. Because if one speaks disparagingly about another person, the person spoken about receives the merits the speaker had accumulated, and that person receives the sins of the person he spoke about. The Chovos Halevavos says that one day, when one goes up to Heaven, he may be surprised to see merits accumulated on his accounts for deeds he didn\u2019t do. And vice versa, a person might be surprised to see sins on his account which he did not commit, while missing merits for deeds he did do. This will be as a result of merits and sins which have transferred between a person who spoke lashon hara about another and the person he spoke about. The Magid Yesharim says that if a person was aware of this, he would rejoice anytime he was slandered as if he won an abundance of gold and silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Unexpected Consequences of Slander: Insights from Rabbi Tzvi Dovid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Tzvi Dovid, the head of the Rabbinical court of Krakow at that time, was badmouthed by people and it became the talk at the local taverns. Shortly afterwards, in a speech he had given, he posed the following question: \u201cWhy does King David (in <a href=\"https:\/\/library.alhatorah.org\/?r1=Tehillim_69&amp;s1=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tehillim 69<\/a>) complain specifically about being slandered by drunkards? Because if it were more upstanding people who slandered him, at least he would benefit from it and it would be worth his while because they would have a lot of merits which would be transferred to him. But now that it\u2019s just a bunch of lowlife drunkards, what good does he have from it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cost of Lashon Hara: Balancing Temporary Satisfaction with Eternal Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a frightening concept. The loss of eternal reward which we have earned for ourselves is a tragedy of untold proportions.&nbsp; If we want to make sure that the reward we earned remains our own, we must take the peddler\u2019s advice seriously. Whatever amount of satisfaction one derives from saying lashon hara, cannot by any means compensate for the loss one incurs from doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button tm-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/sign-up.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about the weekly Torah portion with a weekly study partner.
