Summary
In day 139 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe concludes the Gate of Slander in Orchos Tzaddikim by discussing the sixth and final dimension: speaking Lashon Hara about honest charity collectors and distributors. He explains how such slander is especially devastating because it discourages donations, harms the poor, drives away righteous fundraisers, and ultimately interferes with the holy work of tzedakah. Rabbi Wolbe shares inspiring personal examples of meticulous financial accountability from his grandfather during the Holocaust and his own work with TORCH. He emphasizes that Lashon Hara “kills three people” (speaker, listener, and subject), warns against associating with habitual speakers of slander, and teaches the dangers of even seemingly positive speech when said in the wrong context (such as praising someone to their competitor). The class closes with a powerful reminder about the tremendous value of every human being and the need for extreme caution with our words. _____________ This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky Botvin Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.
