Episode Synopsis

Our latest drash on Parshat Tazria-Metzora dives deep into the connection between lashon hara (evil speech) and the inner state of our hearts. Why do we sometimes speak negatively about others? What can isolation, reflection, and Divine love teach us about transforming our speech?This week’s teaching reflects on how the Torah’s laws of tzara’at (commonly translated as leprosy) offer us more than just ancient rituals—they invite us into self-awareness and healing. Through stories, Psalms, the teachings of Chofetz Chaim, and the words of Yeshua, we explore how our insecurities can be the root of gossip—and how filling our hearts with love, goodness, and Hashem’s presence can radically shift what overflows from our lips.We also share a powerful morning meditation practice that can help cleanse not just the tongue, but the soul.Watch the full drash now and take a step toward becoming someone whose words bring healing, not harm: https://youtu.be/Y-eqHR_EZLM
