The Rebbe writes that just as it is forbidden to speak lashon hara (negative speech) about others, it is also forbidden to do so about oneself. He explains the spiritual harm caused by verbalizing one's own shortcomings and encourages focusing on positive action and self-improvement. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/007/006/2056
DIFERENCIA ENTRE LASHON HARA Y REJILUT by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
Shiur given by Rabbi Daniel Coren on Parshas Shelach. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.
SE PUEDE HABLAR LASHON HARA DE UN MUERTO? by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
SE PUEDE HABLAR LASHON HARA DE ALGO QUE YA ES PUBLICO by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
SE PUEDE HABLAR LASHON HARA DE UN GOY? by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
SE PUEDE HABLAR LASHON HARA DE OBJETOS? by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
One of the central values in Judaism is not speaking bad about others, Lashon Hara in Hebrew. While gossip has become a staple in our society today, our Jewish traditions are strongly opposed to it. A discussion about the rules and precautions we must take not to speak evil of others, the dangers such speech can bring and the benefits of living a gossip free life.
LASHON HARA HAMAZIK by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
POR QUE ES TAN DIFICIL HACER TESHUBA DE LASHON HARA? by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
CUIDADO DE NO SER UN BAAL LASHON HARA by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
LASHON HARA DE ALGO QUE NO ES MALO EN LO ABSOLUTO by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
This class explores the connection between lashon hara (negative speech) and the episode of the spies in Parshas Shlach, examining Rashi's insights, the dangers of excessive speech, and the importance of trusting G-d's promises and authentic Torah leadership. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/004_bamidbar/004_shelach/025
In this powerful Mussar Masterclass from Orchot Tzaddikim's Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the destructive power of Lashon Hara (slander), gossip, and revealing secrets, teaching that words can cause emotional, financial, physical, and spiritual harm. The discussion emphasizes that speech is never neutral—our words either build or destroy. Whether through sharing private information, repeating rumors, or revealing confidential matters, a person who misuses speech can damage relationships, communities, and ultimately themselves. The episode then uncovers a deeper psychological truth taught by the Talmud: people often criticize in others the very flaws they carry within themselves. A person's conversations reveal their true priorities, passions, and character. Someone who constantly discusses Torah demonstrates a love of Torah; someone obsessed with material pleasures reveals what occupies their heart. What we talk about is often the clearest reflection of who we are. Rabbi Wolbe concludes with a profound lesson on finding the good in others. Drawing from the symbolism of the new moon and stories from the sages, he teaches that every person possesses a "sliver of goodness" that deserves recognition and praise. Strong marriages, healthy relationships, successful parenting, and thriving communities are built by focusing on virtues rather than faults. The challenge of life is not finding flaws—they are easy to find—but training ourselves to seek out and magnify the good. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 1, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

In day 139 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe concludes the Gate of Slander in Orchos Tzaddikim by discussing the sixth and final dimension: speaking Lashon Hara about honest charity collectors and distributors. He explains how such slander is especially devastating because it discourages donations, harms the poor, drives away righteous fundraisers, and ultimately interferes with the holy work of tzedakah.Rabbi Wolbe shares inspiring personal examples of meticulous financial accountability from his grandfather during the Holocaust and his own work with TORCH. He emphasizes that Lashon Hara “kills three people” (speaker, listener, and subject), warns against associating with habitual speakers of slander, and teaches the dangers of even seemingly positive speech when said in the wrong context (such as praising someone to their competitor). The class closes with a powerful reminder about the tremendous value of every human being and the need for extreme caution with our words._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 28, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

In day 138 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues exploring the Gate of Slander in Orchos Tzaddikim, focusing on the fifth dimension: speaking negatively about a Ba'al Teshuvah (penitent). He explains the profound spiritual transformation that occurs through genuine repentance — past sins are not merely forgiven but actually converted into merits. Therefore, reminding a penitent of their former wrongdoings is especially grave, as it mocks what have now become mitzvahs.Rabbi Wolbe stresses the importance of giving others the benefit of the doubt, not publicizing private sins, and judging favorably. He shares a powerful personal story of his own momentary lapse and immediate teshuvah, as well as a story about a rabbi who assumed a diabetic had eaten non-kosher food out of medical necessity. The class highlights how destructive it is to rob someone of their dignity and honor, and notes that true Lashon Hara (factually accurate negative speech) is often more damaging than false slander because it is more readily believed._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 27, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH in Houston explores Day 137 from the "Gate of Slander" in The Treasure for Life (Orchos Tzaddikim), detailing six dimensions of those who speak Lashon Hara. He begins with the severe spiritual danger of slander, noting that the Talmud lists speakers of falsehood, Lashon Hara, and flattery among groups from which Hashem distances Himself. The first dimension involves speaking negatively about others — sometimes fabricating stories or slandering innocent people — and the Torah's prohibition against both speaking and accepting such reports. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that accepting Lashon Hara makes the listener complicit, as silence signals agreement and gives the speaker credibility to spread it further. He shares a powerful story about a man who received charity for his daughter's wedding, only for the community to later discover the lavish event was funded by the caterer's personal gratitude for a life-saving favor from the bride's grandfather — a reminder not to rush to judgment without the full story.The episode continues with additional dimensions: speaking truthful but damaging information that causes pain (especially about someone's family or ancestors), publicly shaming others (which can cost one their share in the World to Come), and mentioning a person's family flaws behind their back to humiliate them in the eyes of others. Rabbi Wolbe stresses that every human being has immense value as God's creation, and lowering someone's “human value credits” through slander deeply displeases Hashem. The focus is on protecting others' dignity, avoiding pain caused by words, and elevating people instead of tearing them down._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 26, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

In day 136 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of the Gate of Slander from Orchos Tzaddikim (Ways of the Righteous). He explains why the Sages consider Lashon Hara worse than the three cardinal sins: unlike those sins, which stem from momentary temptation and allow for Teshuvah, habitual slander becomes normalized, minimized in the speaker's eyes (“It's just words”), and extremely difficult to fully repent because of the hidden, far-reaching damage it causes.Rabbi Wolbe highlights the practical devastation caused by negative speech — lost jobs, ruined marriages, damaged family relationships, and even generational harm — and the challenge of seeking forgiveness when one cannot remember everyone affected. He strongly criticizes modern media and comedy that casually destroy reputations under the guise of “journalism” or “just joking.” The class ends on an inspiring note about the tremendous positive power of speech: the same tongue that can destroy can also build, encourage, teach Torah, and bring people closer to God, as “life and death are in the hands of the tongue.”_____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 25, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

In day 136 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of the Gate of Slander from Orchos Tzaddikim (Ways of the Righteous). He explains why the Sages consider Lashon Hara worse than the three cardinal sins: unlike those sins, which stem from momentary temptation and allow for Teshuvah, habitual slander becomes normalized, minimized in the speaker's eyes (“It's just words”), and extremely difficult to fully repent because of the hidden, far-reaching damage it causes.Rabbi Wolbe highlights the practical devastation caused by negative speech — lost jobs, ruined marriages, damaged family relationships, and even generational harm — and the challenge of seeking forgiveness when one cannot remember everyone affected. He strongly criticizes modern media and comedy that casually destroy reputations under the guise of “journalism” or “just joking.” The class ends on an inspiring note about the tremendous positive power of speech: the same tongue that can destroy can also build, encourage, teach Torah, and bring people closer to God, as “life and death are in the hands of the tongue.”_____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 25, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe begins a new chapter from Orchos Tzaddikim (Ways of the Righteous) on the Gate of Slander (Lashon Hara). He explains that Lashon Hara refers to true but negative speech about another person, distinguishing it from Motzi Shem Ra (spreading false rumors). The rabbi emphasizes how destructive such speech is — it harms the subject's reputation, damages relationships and business opportunities, and offers the speaker no real benefit, only a fleeting sense of superiority.Rabbi Wolbe highlights the extreme severity of this sin according to our Sages: speaking Lashon Hara is compared to denying God and is equated with the three cardinal sins (idolatry, illicit relations, and murder). He stresses that one must never bring up a person's past once they have done Teshuvah. A personal anecdote illustrates how easily Lashon Hara becomes the default topic in social gatherings, underscoring the need for conscious effort to avoid it. The class concludes with a powerful reminder from the Chafetz Chaim on guarding one's tongue to truly desire life and see good in others._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 24, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

HALAJOT LASHON HARA- 14 by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
The Iran war may be over — or it may not. In the space of a few hours this week, Washington ordered warships into the Strait of Hormuz, paused the operation, threatened to resume bombing at higher intensity, and then declared peace was near. Yonit and Jonathan cut through the chaos — and ask the question the ceasefire deal still hasn't answered: what happened to Iran's nuclear stockpile? Also this week: Bezalel Smotrich calls October 7th "a tactical failure" and says including Arab parties in government would be a thousand times worse. Gadi Eisenkot and former Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen join forces. Netanyahu's plea deal murmurs get louder. The UK goes to the polls with antisemitism front and center. And the Chutzpah and Mensch awards both go to the same unlikely figure: Nick Cave, who told a hostile fan to go F himself — and blamed his wife's absence.

HALAJOT LASHON HARA- 13 by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
In this Parsha Review on Tazria-Metzora, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores tzara'at (a leprosy-like affliction) as a spiritual consequence of lashon hara (slander), not a contagious disease. The afflicted must tear clothes, grow hair long, cover their mouth, announce “Tamei, Tamei” (I am contaminated), and isolate outside the camp—mirroring how they separated others through negative speech.Key lessons:Lashon hara separates — Speaking negatively about someone distances them from their spouse, family, or community; the punishment forces the speaker to experience isolation.Community & unity — Don't isolate; be part of a congregation (beit knesset = place of gathering). The Jewish people received the Torah as “one nation, one soul.” Synagogues and study halls are miniature Temples for nurturing relationships with God and others.Practical speech — Avoid negative talk entirely. When warning about potential harm (e.g., a swindler), do so discreetly without details or slander (“I would not approach this”—enough for intelligent people to understand). Media, anonymous sources, and public shaming are modern lashon hara pitfalls.Jewish pride — In Egypt, Jews kept distinct names, language, and dress—yet found favor because Hashem granted it. Don't assimilate or hide identity (yarmulke, tzitzit, tefillin) to gain favor; authentic Judaism draws divine chen (favor).Modern application — Small acts of unity and positive speech build community; isolation weakens us. Torah is practical—apply lessons to daily life (media consumption, relationships, self-improvement).The Torah calls us to elevate speech, foster unity, and live proudly Jewish—small, consistent improvements create lasting impact._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on April 28, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on April 30, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!

This Is What Lashon Hara / Negative Speech Is REALLY Doing to You. Tzara'as Today!
HALAJOT LASHON HARA- 07 by Rab Shlomo Benhamu
The Parsha speaks about Tzaraas, which is often caused by Lashon Hara, which often has it's roots in Gaavah. Some insights into arrogance, ayin tovah, and the power of words from Rav Pam Zt"l.Have a good Shabbos
In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses the importance of not being absolute. Being able to give room to the idea that we might be wrong at times. This connects to a three part idea that Rabbi Kohn brings out from the Parsha. How speaking freely causes us to speak Lashon Harah(Evil Speech). Thsi is caused by arrogance which can be avoided by not being definitive all the time. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast. For questions or comments please email RabbiShlomoKohn@gmail.com.
