How You Can Acquire an Enormous Z'chus Before the Yomim Noraim

 

"When a Jew speaks Loshon Hora against his fellow Jew, and brings up complaints against him, he thereby brings about accusations in Heaven against The Jewish People and he empowers the Accuser to indict the Jewish People. The Accuser approaches the Heavenly tribunal to indict them on account of their sins, and demand justice. Hashem is compelled, as it were, to punish them. And who is the cause of all of this? The speaker of Loshon Hora on earth. Midah Kineged Midah ("measure for measure") is the rule of Heaven in all instances. When a person restrains himself from speaking disparagingly of his fellow, then in heaven the Accuser is unable to open his mouth to accuse."

 

 

"At the time that he speaks Loshon Hora about his friend he is punished "measure for measure", and they speak about his sins in Heaven."

 

The Chofetz Chaim teaches that Loshon Hora triggers prosecution against everyone r'l! The victim, the speaker, the listener and all of Klal Yisroel r'l! On the other hand, The Chofetz Chaim quotes a Midrash stating that Hashem said the He Himself will extend Divine Protection to a person who is careful with the mitzvah of Shmiras Haloshon.

 

This past Tisha B'Av Hagaon HaRav Aryeh Leib Shteinman shlita suggested the following strategy to succeed at Shmiras Haloshon, and acquire the wondrous Divine Protection Hashem has promised us. That is, the Morning Machsom L'fi. A program to start each day with a focus on Shmiras Haloshon from 9 -10am. Thousands of Jews have already undertaken to carefully watch every word spoken for this one hour each morning.
