In this shiur, Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi explores the deep power of one word. Using the story of Bilam, who planned to destroy Klal Yisrael with a single word, we learn how speech—just one moment of it—holds the power to build or destroy. From the Gemara in Sanhedrin to the teachings of the Chafetz Chaim, this episode covers how careful we need to be with our words, especially during times like Tisha B’Av. Rabbi Rahimi also introduces a practical way to grow in this area: taking on the Chafetz Chaim Daily Companion. Listeners who commit to finishing the sefer can receive a free copy and submit a name to be prayed for at the kever of the Manchester Rosh Yeshiva during the Chafetz Chaim’s yahrzeit.
