While the portion discusses topics such as ritual purity for priests, physical blemishes that disqualify a priest from Temple service, and the sanctity of the Jewish people, the Torah is not merely a historical or legal text. It is a guide filled with lessons for everyone, in every generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Does \u201cTo Speak\u201d Really Mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, the name <em>Emor<\/em> seems straightforward: it is a command to speak. But this raises an important question\u2014what kind of speech is the Torah referring to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It cannot simply mean prayer, because prayer is described elsewhere as \u201cservice of the heart.\u201d Nor does it refer to Torah study, which is also commanded in other verses. In fact, our Sages often caution against excessive speech. They teach that one should \u201csay little and do much,\u201d and even praise silence as one of the greatest virtues. Speech, after all, carries immense power: \u201cLife and death are in the hands of the tongue.\u201d Words can uplift\u2014but they can also harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Teaching from the Rambam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A deeper insight comes from the teachings of the Rambam (Maimonides), who discusses how a person should use their power of speech. He brings two teachings of the Sages side by side, suggesting a meaningful connection between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, he teaches that a person should judge others favorably\u2014even those whose behavior seems questionable. Second, he says that one should speak about the positive qualities of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By placing these ideas together, the Rambam reveals something profound: the kind of speech we are commanded to use is speech that highlights the good in others\u2014even in those who may not appear deserving of praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Speak Positively About Others?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This raises a natural question: why should we speak positively about someone who seems to act negatively?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer lies in the transformative power of speech itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Creative Power of Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When G-d \u201cspeaks\u201d in the Torah\u2014\u201cLet there be light\u201d\u2014His words create reality. Although human speech does not have the same absolute creative force, it still carries a remarkable ability: our words shape the emotional and spiritual reality of those around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we speak positively about someone, we awaken and strengthen the good within them. When we speak negatively, we risk bringing out the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sense, human speech mirrors Divine speech. While we cannot create physical objects with our words, we can create something just as impactful: character, confidence, and connection in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Danger of Negative Speech<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why negative speech\u2014often referred to as <em>lashon hara<\/em>\u2014is considered so harmful. It doesn\u2019t just describe reality; it can actually influence and worsen it. Negative words can damage relationships, lower self-worth, and even shape how a person behaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Message of <em>Emor<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>Emor<\/em> becomes clear: speech is not merely a tool for communication\u2014it is a tool for creation. We are called upon to use it wisely, to speak goodness into the world, and to help others become the best versions of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Call to Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If each of us commits to this\u2014speaking kindly, judging fairly, and focusing on the positive\u2014we can collectively transform the atmosphere around us. In doing so, we not only improve our relationships and communities, but also align ourselves with a higher purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And perhaps, when we use our power of speech in the right way, we bring the world one step closer to redemption..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Talk from Rabbi Tuvia Serber<\/strong><br><br><br>The above is a representation of the spoken text converted to written text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright, all rights reserved.
