As he does yearly, Maran Hagoen Rav Aryeh Leib Shteinman Shlita delivered a powerful Mussar Shmooze this afternoon at the Mir Yerushalayim. More then two thousand Bochrim and Yungerleit packed the Bais Medrash to hear the words of one of the Gedoley Hador. He then paid a visit to Maran Hagoen Rav Elyashiv Shlita, and went to the Kosel.
The points mentioned in his shmooze were:
א. לא לדבר לשון הרע
ב. לא לרכל אחד על השני
ג. לשמור על שפה ולשון נקיה
ד. לקבל באהבה כל דבר בין לטוב ובין לרע
ה. המעביר על מידותיו מעבירים לו על כל פשעיו
ו.להרבות בצדקה וחסד
ז. לכבד כל יהודי באשר הוא
ח. להתאפק מלהגיב על הכפשות השני

NOTE THAT THEY ALL ARE IN THE CATEGORY OF BAIN ODOM L’CHAVEIRO.
A true Gadol B’Torah. Vahavta Lerayacha Kamocha Ze Klal Gadol Batorah. Rav Krohn says, just as we accept our shortcomings, we should accept others shortcomings.
Any chidushei Torah too?
Most gedolim say chidushim when they talk.Just reminding people that loshon hora is a sin can be done by the magnet on the fridge.
If anyone was there please share the chidushim with us.
Translation:
א. לא לדבר לשון הרע
Do not speak Loshon Hora
ב. לא לרכל אחד על השני
Do not telltale on each other (Rechilus)

i don’t really understand 8, and please if neccessary someone correct the others i translated.
dear daastora – if his message will get really thru to all of us, will be a real chidush…
daastorah…I would LOVE to hear a shmuss from hago’on R’ shteinman shlita urging me not to speak loshon horah…I think that would have a bigger hashpo’oh on me than your magnet on the fridge!!
Where has kovod for gedolim gone??
daastorah:r’l
your comments should be tought out before writing
Shaya-
Loshon hora is only truth, if it’s not true it’s motzei shem rah.
Get your facts straight before you start disseminating and commentingd what gedolim have said.
Either way – focus on what is said.
#8 is “hold back from responding when one is maligned by another”
He also paid a visit to the Belzer Ruv Shlit”a.
bogotaneryi.
what’s wrong with what daastorah posted?
is it loshon horah maybe?
