0:00 People speak a lot of lashon hara and use the Torah: 'Come, come, see why it is permitted. Come, come, look.' Those people are impure, defiled, and to our sorrow the whole exile is delayed, in all the generations we had such 'buds and flowers.' When all kinds of 'buds' arose, who were 'buds and flowers,' we see them as strangers, but they were not true, they were from the Satan. Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz writes: we have a rule in our hands, that whoever speaks, G-d forbid, ill about the Jewish people - speaks lashon hara - in particular - 'and they insulted the messengers of G-d' - they are the chariot of the Satan and his band.

0:36 They are the chariot of the Satan and his forces. Understand - do you understand this generation? Do you understand this generation? They look at the Torah - the Torah is the cleanest thing there is. This Torah scroll needs to be the greatest thing there is. The Torah, justice, common sense - need to be the purest thing there is. A person should come to the yeshivah, should come to the synagogue, should come to the beis midrash, with head held high, with pride, not to feel that he is coming to a courtroom, where they judge his child because he cannot get into the institutions, where they judge his daughter, that they did not accept her into the seminary, because they labeled her this way and that, because they labeled him this way and that, they labeled his wife according to this and that,

1:16 because they mocked him for traveling to Uman to pray, traveling to Uman to pray - they labeled him a crazy Breslover, they labeled him, they throw him out, they label him. What? We come to the Rav to pray. About this nobody speaks - that you come to me... that is fine. This is permitted, the main thing - that is fine.
