Green Speech #7
Lastly, unfortunately Chofetz Chaim offers the best proof which is also the most explicit -
The Midrash (Devarim Rabbah 6, 14) states, “Hashem says, ‘In this world, because there is loshon hora among you, I withdrew My Presence from among you.
’” Like a letter directly from Hashem – clear and unambiguous.
The message of this statement is incredible. The Jewish Temple has not been rebuilt and God’s Divine presence not in our midst and not restored to us because of the forbidden speech which we utter.
