Meor Einayim By Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein To Dedicate an Article  click here Parshas Metzorah Unpacking Lashon Hora   This should be the Torah of the metzora on the day of his purification. He shall be brought to the Kohen.[2] Why is it that lashon hora, according to Chazal, is the equivalent of avodah zarah?[3] We understand the link to the metzora, a word that can be expanded to motzai ra, or the one who brings out evil.[4] Making public the indiscretions or faults of another is the very definition of lashon hora. Moreover, it is axiomatic that Hashem loves every Jew, even the rasha. Kivayachol, He receives oneg, pleasure, from each Jew. When the worth of a Jew is challenged or blunted by lashon hora, it introduces an element of sadness, as it were, into His hanhagah. The oneg changes to nega, which is a rearrangement of the same letters. Thus, the discolorations of skin on the speaker of lashon hora. But what connection does lashon hora have with idolatry? There are many ways of understanding the quintessential nature of speech. One way is to recognize that it undergirds Hashem’s midah of malchus. A king who is mute about his wishes and directives is not much of a king. He becomes a genuine ruler by shifting his thoughts into letters and words, allowing for communication. Similarly, HKBH established His malchus, His kingship with speech.[5] While His other aspects are not critically dependent on the letters and words of speech, His malchus completely necessitates communication with His subjects. The twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet form the matrix in which Hashem’s malchus is exercised. Hashem loves His children. Just as a father would not say lashon hora against his own child, Hashem, as it were, refrains from lashon hora against Bnei Yisrael. Using speech to malign one of His children is forbidden. It is a usurpation of the essential purpose of speech, which is malchus Hashem. Denying the purpose of speech is thus a rejection of His kingship, and therefore a form of avodah zarah. How does one arrive at this lofty comprehension of the purpose of speech? By best utilizing speech for its intended purpose of submitting to His malchus. In other words, by speaking divrei Torah, he binds his speech to the Torah’s holy letters, using the malchus-matrix as it was designed to be used. Our pasuk can be read as an allusion to all of this. “This should be the Torah of the metzora on the day of his purification. “This/ zos (referencing the midah of malchus[6]) is the correct way to study Torah by the repenting metzora: elevating his speech to bind it to the holy letters. Doing so will bring him to the Heavenly Kohen – HKBH Himself.

Please Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Ben Gvir, Mr. Smotrich and Mr. Gallant unite and bring Hashem’s Righteousness back to the Har HaBayit? Under HaShem’s Righteousness the Har HaBayit shall become a Prayer House for all peoples. Jews, Muslims, and Christians when they put away Avoda Zara and their false doctrines…… By annulling that covenant made with the Islamic authorities in ’67 on the Har Habayit and all other covenants, banning all crimes and abominations by PA, Hamas and Islamic Jihad with an Iron fist declaring Jewish Sovereignty in all the Land Hashem gave the Jewish People in ’67.

בבקשה מר נתניהו, מר בן גביר, מר סמוטריץ' ומר גלנט תתאחדו והחזירו את צדקת ה' להר הבית,? תחת צדקת השם הר הבית יהפוך לבית תפילה לכל העמים: יהודים, מוסלמים ונוצרים כשהם מסירים עבודה זרה ואת דוקטרינות השקר שלהם... על ידי ביטול הברית שנכרתה עם השלטונות האיסלאמיים בשנת 67' על הר הבית וכל שאר הבריתות, איסור על כל הפשעים והתועבות שנעשות על ידי הרשות הפלסטינית, חמאס והג'יהאד האסלאמי. והכרזת ריבונות יהודית על כל ארץ ישראל.

Come let us Pray that Hashem's Righteousness shall 'return' to the Har haBayit and the whole of Eretz Israel.	בוא נתפלל שצדקת ה' 'תשוב' להר הבית ולארץ ישראל כולה.
Free to study all Jewish Scripture:	חופשי ללמוד את כל כתבי הקודש היהודיים:
Sefaria Calendar - לוח שנה ספריה

Our Prayer and hope: All the gates to the Har haBayit have to be opened for Jews and non-Jews seven days in the week 24 hours a day. The Jews need to have the freedom to go with Tefillin, Tallit and Torah Scroll up on the Mountain to serve Hashem. And do קידה ('Kidah' prostate, laying down, before Hashem) Everyone showing his/her respect for the Jewish and all other religions. But NOT for the words/deeds/sins spoken against any word of the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu and the 'real' teachings of the Jewish Rabbis. The Jews must be the guardians of the Har haBayit.	תפילתנו ותקוותנו: כל שערי הר הבית צריכים להיפתח עבור יהודים ולא-יהודים שבעה ימים בשבוע 24 שעות ביממה. ליהודים צריך להיות חופש ללכת עם תפילין, טלית וספר תורה במעלה ההר כדי לשרת את ה' ולקוד קידה .מתוך הפגנת כבוד ליהודים ולכל הדתות האחרות, אבל לא למילים/למעשים/לחטאים הנאמרים נגד תורת משה רבנו. מלמודי רבנים, היהודים חייבים להיות שומרי הר הבית.
Let's pray for a death sentence for the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Hezbollah and for the continuation of the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria. The Palestinian Authority, Hamas and Hezbollah must disappear. Enough of the hatred from the world (the USA, the European Union, and the UN!) against the Jewish people.	בואו נתפלל לגזר דין מוות לרשות הפלסטינית, חמאס, חיזבאללה ולמען התיישבות יהודית ביהודה ושומרון. הרשות הפלסטינית, חמאס וחיזבאללה חייבים להעלם. די לשנאה מהעולם (ארה"ב, האיחוד האירופי והאו"ם!) נגד העם היהודי!
The Jews have the mission to change the Har HaBayit, from her situation now, into a Prayer House for all peoples based on the Torah Law of Moshe Rabbeinu.	על היהודים מוטלת המשימה לשנות את הר הבית, ממצבו הקיים, לבית תפילה לכל העמים על פי חוק התורה של משה רבנו.
