Not bad. Okay, good morning everyone. It would It wouldn't be proper to be learning parshas tazria metzora and not to do something from the Chofetz Chaim on parshas tazria metzora. Chofetz Chaim has a very big piece on tazria and it's a little bit late. Now we're going to do something on metzora. Let's see if we could get this up. Says the Chofetz Chaim, parshas metzora, zoys tia toyras hametzora vehuva el akoyin over chazal in arachin tes vava akoyin over chazal in arachin tes vava me beis metzora is a motzi shem ra. Kol amar hanegoim boim al avoin loshon hora. We all know that tzaraas comes from loshon hora. Vetaras hametzora taloy bekoyin. Why? Bishvil sheasif sei koyin yishmeru daas vetoyra yevakshu mipihu because the lips of the koyin guard knowledge and toyra you seek from his mouth.
