Parashas Metzorah - Shabbos Ha Gadol

Our Parsha this Shabbos HaGadol , the Shabbos before Pesach is Parashas Metzorah . 
This Parsha deals with Loshon Horah and its effects as well as how to purify oneself from the very terrible aveirah. It also deals with Tzara'as that can appear on a person's house,for HaShem wants to spare a person before He punishes their body.
Loshon Horah is slander .It completely demeans and defames another person . It is an aveirah that is so very easy to commit without even thinking and its Laws are very important to learn to know how to avoid such an evil action as putting down another person to others.
HaShem in His Mercy gave us a tongue that easily moves so that with it,we could easily earn much Kavod and Merit by learning and teaching Torah ,for with each Torah Holy thing we say we get merit . How sad that it is so often used for bad . HaShem reminds us that the tongue is to be kept in check ,by putting it behind two rows of teeth to keep it in. HaShem made this organ of the tongue in a horizontal position to remind us that the tongue should be at rest and not talk negatively about other people . 
The word 'Metzorah,'- 'Leper,' say our sages is an acrostic for the Hebrew 'Motziah Sham Rah,' (Vayikrah Rabah and Midrash Says ), which means , 'the defamer.' The defamer , the one who defames others .
In Bereishis ,the snake was the first Loshoner who spoke against HaShem and so its skin was made rough like a leper and its tongue got split and it had to eat the dust , which is a Middah Knegged Middah punishment for the dust of Loshon Horah that it sprouted.
The evil of Loshon Horah destroys three people - the one who Loshons ,the one who listens and the one spoken about .It is at the very basis of how HaShem Created all people . 
HaShem Created people as He did . When they get Loshoned,the Loshoners are , in effect , trying to change the way HaShem Created that person they are Loshoning about , by telling stories about them that make them look in a way HaShem never actually Created them . It is such an insult to HaShem .
Our Tanach tells of a number of people who committed this grievous sin,like Doeg who reported back to Shaul who killed the priests at Nov and also Gechazi, Elisha's helper who reported false info to Naaman and Gechazi ended up becoming a Leper as did his three sons , who ended up sitting outside the city gate as lepers. 
It was evil speech that destroyed our Temple . 
Even today this sin is so often committed - wherever people gather , some find it hard to get through a conversation without talking about others or putting others down to make themselves look good .
People need to realize that HaShem is in us all and when another gets spoken about , one is also insulting HaShem , within them .
When Loshoning another, it is akin to murder , for one is destroying another human being .
So how do we stop this very serious sin that is so easy to commit? HaShem in His mercy , gives us the answer within the very word ' Metzorah.'For this word has within it,the words ,'Matzer Ayin,' which means ,'Border for the Eyes.' It is through the eyes that people look at others and covet what they have or are. It is through the eyes that people see the faults in others . HaShem thus teaches us that we are to put a Border for our eyes that see only the good in others and acknowledge that through our eyes, we can only know the momentary picture of the other person. We cannot possibly know what is in another person's life or mind or anything of what happened before we look and after we look away . With the Border of the Eyes, we realize that as simple human beings, we can only know a small speck of what is going on and cannot possibly judge another by our own standards. Putting a Border to the eyes to notice our own limits , humbles ourselves when we realize that only HaShem knows all .
We are at the Shabbos just before Pesach , when our people left Mitzrayin (Egypt) to go to freedom with and under HaShem. The very place of Egypt - Mitzrayim also has the root within it 'Matzer,' and 'Metzorah,' showing that it was a place of borders where we were all we kept in and could not leave unless they had permission from Par'o. It was a place of borders where everything low and impure locked those that were there,within its borders.It was a place of very low Tum'a - Impurity , the impurity of a Metzorah - Leper kind of aveirah , within Mitzrayim . 
This whole time period of Pesach is a time of freedom from the Yetzer Horah that holds us in its border of only seeing one negativity . Borders need to be opened within, so that we can look at a whole picture when we consider others and we need to learn to look for the good in others and the reasons they do what they do . To judge others negatively is easy .To judge others fairly is an action that takes more love and care for we need to learn to look deeply within others to find that special spark of HaShem within .
This is a very special time. We stand on the verge of our freedom from the boundaries of negativity that try surround us and the free choice is given to overcome them .It starts with humility and walking the road we too have to travel - that the road we take in judging others fairly and with compassion is the very road, we ourselves need to travel on before HaShem , Who Will judge us favorably if we learn to judge others favorably too . Emulate HaShem's Special Ways and know that we are only a very minute part of the picture yet each part is necessary to complete the picture and completing the picture comes with bonding with our fellow man instead of creating Machlokes and friction to cause separation . 
True Holiness starts with closeness to HaShem and His Ways . Make this World a World of Light as HaShem intended and spread the Light of peace and Harmony to all you meet ,for all you meet have within them a spark of HaShem .Don't promote slander and disharmony.Promote HaShem's Light within all,to bring all to HaShem .
With love to HaShem I wish HaShem with Love, a Beautiful Blessed Shabbos Kodesh with love and to all my fellow Yidden a beautiful Blessed Shabbos Kodesh with love and peace to all.
