we are in
11. the whole
everything that we just read and wrote i
mean he says wrote what we read in the
previous
remember all that we learned in the last
couple days if not then you have to see
the
rerun but everything all these love him
all these precepts that we went through
he says here this is only when it's one
on one that i am one person is talking
one person is listening
but if you attach yourself to a group of
people
he's saying a community a congregation
a group of people that he calls them and
shay resha
people of evil people that they do
horrible things
and they we just said the word ballet
remember before what i said baal means
an owner
ba leila that the is part of their life
they own que
now some people attach themselves to a
certain group of people either to tell
them
rather to hear from them
if it's to tell them that's one thing
some people will attach themselves to a
group
and how would he get a popular in the
group let me tell you some
juicy stuff about your neighbor and that
can be the other way around a person
will attach himself to a group
because he wants to hear the juicy stuff
if this is the case over gamken a love
now again let me just repeat
the last 10 allah that we learned if you
remember it's different loving different
precepts
i don't want to repeat it now but that's
when it's one-on-one
here is adding another love if i'm doing
it with the intention to do it in the
public in a group
he transgress another love which one is
that
lo tie
this can be found in the book of shemot
chapter 23
verse bit verse 2.
the the verse in hebrew says
the translation you should not follow
the majority for evil
this is the precepts from the torah i'm
not allowed to do that
so take now all the what we learned in
the last in
that's one department of love him of
precepts
he when i add the group then i'm adding
another love
saying in other words this is a warning
this is a warning do not gang up
or get yourself connected to people
he calls them hossein ave that they're
doing wrong
afghan rabbi even though it's a majority
sometimes people say but the majority
thinks that
it doesn't matter if the majority thinks
that if they're doing wrong
don't don't be part of it
here he continues now he just gives a
different reference i'm gonna skip it
because he's
saying here about what he's saying now
what we read now
he sends us to a reference of rabbenu
yona in
one of his ma marim in the hillhote
and he's giving a whole scenario here
i'm actually going to choose to skip it
right now
because it's just uh it's uh
i want to stay with the alaha so just to
repeat this all the love him all the
precepts that we learned before that
since when one person
and the other but if you now taking it
to the next level
and you attach yourself to a group of
people that that's their
agenda that's their nature and i know it
sounds shocking
but there are people that that's their
that's their nature how can they
slander this guy and gossip about that
guy and that's
all that's they talk and they totally
totally think it's fine and you know
where you find all of them on social
media
one person puts a a post and then you
have
everybody jumps into the conversation
and oh
i learned my lesson i think maybe 10
years ago when facebook first came out
that i start i you know you go into
arguments i saw that this is a pit
without an end
there's nobody to talk to because you're
talking to keyboards
you're not talking to a per person face
to face
which excuse how i'm going to express
myself now that you can slap them across
the face
this is a keyboard and then you don't
know who's hiding behind the keyboard
so this is one of the biggest bits of
lashonara but don't go to
don't think it's only social media there
are many shoes that that's the topic
what he said and what she did and what
he did and what he does and
don't attach yourself to a group of
people like that
next
by the way when i said next next not
next topic
12. if the person is holding in a
disagreement in a
clocket in an argument by what he has to
say
now this is usually the case by the way
when
will come into the equation there's
going to be a mcclocket here
yesterday a rabbi who's like also a good
friend
text me and he told me that some
individual that we both know very well
is trying to come between us and that
individual is going and bad-mouthing me
to him
him to me and and and i was just
laughing
and he says this individual is trying to
make an argument between us saying that
you said this
i said this oh come on that's old news
what are you listening to what are you
listening to this it's just unbelievable
how both of us were like i i can't
believe it
why are you trying to make a
disagreement now i'm a clock between two
rabbis
why what what bothers you
that you have to make a machoket a
disagreement between us so of course
there was a sonar involved here
so here he says if you're holding in
your head that is going to cause them
a disagreement over odd love
you transgress another precept another
love which one this time
this can be found in the book of
bamidbar this is not anything made up
this is from the torah itself
this is the book of amid chapter 17
verse hey and the translation should not
be like ko and his company this is a
love from the torah you're not allowed
to
mimic or to go in the path of god what
did god do
gathered a bunch of people spoke about
and ganged up against him and if you
think that only happened 3
300 years ago i have bad news to you it
happens every day
and even amongst you and even where you
live there are few people
who might have titles like rabbis and
others
and they gang up against somebody else
why i don't know why i actually don't
know why
but when a person does something like
that that your lashonara
is the cause of a mahloket then you have
another love
on your record
you cannot and should not and be afraid
of
being in any type of a macho don't hold
them a cloak it
means a disagreement and he gives us a
reference
like it says in the talmud sanhedrin a
page a hundred and ten
and if you want go to page and dance and
helen read the makhan over there what
it's talking about
but to conclude the two of the chords
that we're now talking about the first
one
saying is bad but when you're taking it
to the next level and you're making it a
community thing
then you have a bigger problem and we
already said
in allah six and seven that if one
person hears me
that's one time 50 people heard me
that's 50 times
now here am i making a whole party out
of it and you know
sometimes and listen i know very
tempting
when you hear some juicy stuff and you
lean forward what did he say
really here they he never smelled right
for me this
guy and therefore you know it
and everybody is in the same place so
this is one preset
not to make a community thing out of it
and the next one
you are warned by the torah don't hang
out with people like that
before go far away from these people you
hear already a group talking about
somebody
thank you so much was a pleasure to meet
you i will see you
somewhere else maybe not i don't want to
see you if this is what you do
i'm out of the game don't let the answer
attempt you to come and hear the juicy
stuff i know it's very very tempting
but the juicy stuff is usually the
recipe for problems
and never needless to say that even if
you have whatever lashona had to say
about something be very careful
this is going to bring a disagreement
because sometimes it's one person that
will say
about two people and they will go into
into an argument
now you are really like
that is another love from the torah you
don't want to get yourself into this
chunt
pot and start cooking all sorts of
dishes this is where problems start
and needless to say you have to run away
from it like like burning fire
