A Word from Rabbi Moshe Cohen:

Tazria: Self Deprecation is also Lashon Hora

 

R Yisroel Meir Kagan of Radin, known to all as the Chofetz Chaim, was once riding a train to Radin. He wore a simple cap and traveled alone, and hardly anyone knew who he was. A middle-aged Jew sat down beside him and asked him where he was going. The Chofetz Chaim answered softly, "to Radin."

The man was excited. "Do you know the saintly Chofetz Chaim? I am going to Radin just to see him!"

The Chofetz Chaim was unimpressed. "M'nyeh," he shrugged. "I don't think he is so saintly."

The visitor was so appalled that he slapped the old man and left his seat shouting. "How dare you make light of the leader of our generation!"

A week later the man came to the humble abode of the great Tzaddik. Lo and behold, the old man from the train was sitting by the table in the diningroom. The man collapsed in shock. He could not stop apologizing for the incident on the train when the Chofetz Chaim halted him.

"Do not worry, you taught me a great lesson," said the sage. "One may not even slander himself."

HALACHIC BULLETIN

If you forgot to count Sefira at night, you may still count throughout the following day without a Brocho. You may then continue to count on the following evenings with a Brocho.                                                                                                                If you forgot to count on a Thursday night but remembered to do so on Friday afternoon after Kabbalas Shabbos and Maariv but before    sunset, you may count on the following days with a Brocho.

     

Have a great Shabbos!
