0:00 Missiles like these do not fall for nothing. It is not for nothing; we need to wake up very much. How the Holy One, blessed be He, took such a holy soul from us like this, like this - such a holy soul, that went for the Jewish people? It is a shocking thing. A shocking thing, it is a horrifying thing. Missiles never fell here in this city. The Chazon Ish, the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, all the holy ones here, who gave themselves with self-sacrifice for this place, for the Torah, and suddenly we see that what happened happened - it fell, and there was also a passing away.
0:36 This must shake us - where have we come to? Where have we come to? Where have we come to? Clearly their merit protects, but if there is lashon hara (evil speech), it breaks all the walls of the protection. In the Yerushalmi, Peah, chapter 1, halachah 5, the Yerushalmi says: Achav - there were idol worshippers among them, idol worshippers, every war they would go out and they would win the wars. Why? There were no informers among them.
1:02 Idol worshippers go out, but there were no speakers of lashon hara among them. Every war they went to, they won. Not one of them was hurt. No missile, nothing. What power was upon them. But, G-d forbid, when there is lashon hara, there is no protection, nothing. So we all need to wake up, because this is the pain of all of us. We look at it, at the picture today, like this, as if something happened to some person - but let a person know: when people speak lashon hara about the Jewish people, with baseless hatred - he speaks about that manager, and he about that worker, and he about his boss, and he about this, and he about that, they bring swords down to the world. These swords come down on people. No one knows on whom it will come down.
1:42 Either on himself, or on the others, or on relatives. But whoever — one must beware of this as of fire.
