Today we mourn the loss of our Temple, the divine presence and dwelling in peace, security and serenity with God in Israel.
Below is the the symptom that wrecks havoc in Achdus (Unity) or lack there of the real cause of all that occurs to the Jewish people
Loshon Hara
Here is a quick synopsis of the damage of which the Jewish people have suffered throughout our history at the hands of perhaps arguably the worst sin there is - Loshon Hora –
1. The 1st sin ever committed, the result being an exile from the garden of Eden and underlying cause of death (our mortality) in this world
2. The Sin of the Spies that prevented us from dwelling in Israel (after we left Egypt) wandering in the desert for 40 years
3. The catalyst which caused the Jewish people to be exiled in Egypt, (Yosef’s report about his brothers (confirmed by Moshe when it was apparent that Dasan and Aviram told Pharoah that Moshe killed the Egyptian)
4. The cause of our exile today. The Gemara in Yoma says that the Temple was destroyed. The divine presence chased away and kicked out of Israel was the sin of Loshon Hara
The Chofetz Chaim says that it is our Loshon Hara today that prevent us from welcoming back the divine presence, the rebuilding of our Temple and dwelling in peace and security in Israel
