| "And he retorted, 'Who made you a man, a prince, and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?' Moses became frightened and said, 'Indeed, the matter has become known!'" (Shemos 2:14)
Rashi comments on Moses' words, "Indeed, the matter has become known!" He explains that Moses, upon hearing the accusation, realized what had perplexed him. He had long wondered why the Jewish people were subjected to such brutal slavery, more than the other nations. Now, Moses understood: they deserved this suffering because there were slanderers among them.
The gravity of slander is immense. It is such a destructive sin that it can cause an entire nation to face severe consequences. As we see from this story, slander can result in suffering that endures for generations.
Today:Let us take a moment to reflect on our speech and strive to eliminate any traces of slander from our words.
