Zohar on Tehillim 126 – Avak Lashon Hara
Tehillim 126:2
- "Az yomru vagoyim – higdil Ha-Shem la'asot im eleh" - (then the nations will say: Ha-Shem has done great things for these).
"Eleh" points to an acronym formed from the words avak lashon hara – (the dust of evil speech).
In other words, by doing good deeds and engaging in the secrets of the Torah, "eleh" —avak lashon hara—will disappear from them, and then the Jewish people will attain complete joy. Is there any greater joy than deliverance from sin?
(Zohar on Vayikra, Sulam, Rav Tzvi Nisanzon)
