Do Not Promise! - R' Eytan Feiner

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Netzoir’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

It's all about Lashon Hara, and this incredible initiative and it's all how careful we have to be with every single word that is emitted [music] from our hallowed sacred lips. It's all Lashon Hara, the power of the Koh Gadol, that single defining trait of what it means to be human. By the apple of his eye, the holiness of Adam, the man man rises up and he has the power to speak. Writes the [music] Shulchan Aruch and so many others. It's not at all coincidental that coinciding with the three weeks is Parshas Matos. Parshas Matos, when you're in Bein Hametzarim, the three weeks, what do you have to think about? The power of your words, the power of the Koh Gadol, hence each and every one of us the ability to affect the world, to make changes in the status of the world, the reality based on the Torah and Shmuel as outlined in the opening narrative of Parshas Matos to remind us at the beginning of the three weeks how careful, how we have to [music] be with the words that escape our lips. Allow me to share with you an unbelievably powerful message. I'm 19
