Harav Hagaon Binyomin Cohen Shlita

Punished for the Perspective

Parashas Shelach

Harav Hagaon Binyomin Cohen shlita

Parashas Shelach begins with the Cheit Hameraglim, and Iโ€™d like to focus on an important lesson that we can derive from this incident, based on Rav Elya Baruch Finkelโ€™s sefer on the parashah.

We know that the Meraglimโ€™s cheit was saying lashon hara about Eretz Yisrael. The Gemara (Arachin 15) notes that we learn from the Meraglim how grave the sin of lashon hara is, for they spoke only about trees and rocks โ€” inanimate objects โ€” yet they were severely punished. How much more severe, then, is the sin of one who speaks about another person!

Why, indeed, was the Meraglimโ€™s cheit considered so severe that it caused the entire Dor Deiโ€™ah to perish, Klal Yisrael to wander in the Midbar for another 40 years, and the destructions of both Batei Mikdash on Tisha b’Av, leading to bechiyah lโ€™doros to this day? It would seem that some of the other sins that Klal Yisrael committed in the Midbar were much worse โ€” for instance, Cheit Haโ€™eigel, which was a violation of the first of the Aseres Hadibros,ืึธื ึนื›ึดื™ ื”’ ืึฑืœึนื”ึถื™ืšึธ ืึฒืฉืึถืจ ื”ื•ึนืฆึตืืชึดื™ืšึธ ืžึตืึถืจึถืฅ ืžึดืฆึฐืจึทื™ึดื. So why was the Meraglimโ€™s cheit of lashon hara considered so serious that it incurred this terrible punishment?

Furthermore, Rashi at the beginning of the parashah explains that the reason the story of the Meraglim appears immediately after the story of Miriamโ€™s lashon hara is that the Meraglim should have learned a lesson from Miriam and not spoken lashon hara. But there seems to be a big difference between Miriamโ€™s lashon hara, which was spoken about a person, and the lashon hara of the Meraglim, which was about an inanimate entity โ€” the land of Eretz Yisrael, which has no feelings. A person can be damaged or hurt by lashon hara; a land cannot.

Punished for the Root

The Baalei Mussar explain that the punishment the Meraglim received was not for the actual aveirah of lashon hara, but rather for the root of that lashon hara, which was the bad middah of ayin raโ€™ah. Ayin raโ€™ah causes a person to see the negative in others, which results in his speaking against people.

In terms of the damage caused by lashon hara, speaking against people is much worse than speaking against inanimate objects, but in terms of the bad middah of seeing the negative, which is the cause of the cause of lashon hara, thereโ€™s no difference between seeing the bad in a person or the bad in an inanimate object. In that sense, the Meraglim should have taken a lesson from Miriam, who was punished for the middah of ayin raโ€™ah, seeing the bad. They should have learned from her not to see the bad in Eretz Yisrael, and had they learned their lesson they would have avoided their terrible downfall.

The Chofetz Chaim (Hilchos Lashon Hara, Klal 5) cites the teaching of the Yereโ€™im that itโ€™s forbidden to speak lashon hara even about a personโ€™s possessions. Rav Elya Baruch explains that the reason we may not speak lashon hara about a personโ€™s items is not that this is akin to speaking lashon hara about the person. Rather, thereโ€™s a separate prohibition to speak negatively about a personโ€™s belongings โ€” his car, his house, his clothing, etc. Thatโ€™s because the core of lashon hara is the bad middah of seeing the negative, whether in people or in possessions.

What do you Focus On?

Why is this middah of ayin raโ€™ah considered so severe, and so much worse than other bad middos?

Apparently, the reason is that this middah of ayin raโ€™ah, of viewing people, things, or situations in a negative light relates to the personโ€™s very essence and encompasses the whole person — his view of life and of the world, his bein adam laMakom as well as his bein adam lโ€™chaveiro. Does he see the good Hakadosh Baruch Hu does for him, or does he always see the difficulties that He places before him? Does he see the good in people, or is he looking for peopleโ€™s faults and negative aspects?

The Chovos Halevavos (Shaar Hakeniah 6) tells the story of a chassid who was walking with his student and passed an animal carcass at the side of the street. โ€œThis carcass stinks!โ€ the student exclaimed.

โ€œBut how white are its teeth!โ€ the chassid replied.

The chassid was teaching his student not only how a person should talk, but also how to view the world. When you see a dead animal, what do you see? Do you see a smelly carcass? Or do you see beautiful white teeth? Thatโ€™s the middah of ayin tovah!

Rav Eliezer Silver once met a Holocaust survivor who was frum before he went through the concentration camps, but gave up religion because of an incident he witnessed in the camp that disturbed him deeply. One Yid in the camp owned a siddur, and another Yid approached him and asked to borrow it so that he could daven. โ€œIโ€™ll lend it to you if you give me your portion of food for today,โ€ the owner of the siddur replied. The other Yid agreed.

โ€œHow could a person be so cruel?โ€ the survivor asked Rav Silver. โ€œHe was willing to take the tiny ration of food that was meant to sustain another person for an entire day?โ€

โ€œI see the opposite,โ€ said Rav Silver. โ€œI see the gadlus of a Yid who wanted so badly to daven and come closer to Hakadosh Baruch Hu that he was willing to give up his daily portion of food.โ€

This illustrates the difference between someone who sees things with an ayin tovah and someone who does not.

As a result of the Cheit Hameraglim, Klal Yisrael had to wander in the Midbar for 40 years, one year for each day the Meraglim had spent in Eretz Yisrael. Rav Chaim Shmulevitz notes that the Meraglim spoke lashon hara only on one day, so why were the Yidden punished for 40 days?

He answers that the punishment was for the 40 days that the Meraglim had looked at Eretz Yisrael in a negative light. These 40 days of negativity and ayin raโ€™ah formed the root of their lashon hara.

The Mishnah (Bikkurim 3:1) teaches that the process of separating bikkurim is as follows: ื™ื•ืจื“ ืื“ื ื‘ืชื•ืš ืฉื“ื”ื• ื•ืจื•ืื” ืชืื ื” ืฉื‘ื›ืจื” ืืฉื›ื•ืœ ืฉื‘ื™ื›ืจ ืจืžื•ืŸ ืฉื‘ื™ื›ืจ ืงื•ืฉืจื• ื‘ื’ืžื™ ื•ืื•ืžืจ ื”ืจื™ ืืœื• ื‘ื›ื•ืจื™ื.

R’ Menachem Ziemba asks, why did the Mishnah choose to list these three examples โ€” a fig, a cluster of grapes, and a pomegranate โ€” out of the Shivas Haminim? He answers, citing the Arizal, that the mitzvah of bikkurim is a tikkun for the Cheit Hameraglim, and the Meraglim brought these three fruits back from Eretz Yisrael.

The mitzvah of bikkurim is a mitzvah of hakaras hatov, requiring us to recognize the good that Hakadosh Baruch Hu does for us. When a person has hakaras hatov, he has an ayin tovah, and he sees the good, which is a tikkun for the Cheit Hameraglim, which was rooted in the middah of ayin raโ€™ah, seeing the bad in things.

From here we see how important it is to focus on the good in our lives, in the daily challenges we face, and in our relationship with Hakadosh Baruch Hu and other people.

We should all be zocheh to tremendous brachah and hatzlachah.

Gut Shabbos.
