The Power of Speech

In this feature film about the power of speech and the laws of Shmiras Halashon, Torah Live takes a fresh new look at this crucial topic: What is lashon hara? Why is it so destructive? When is it permitted to relay negative information for a constructive purpose? What is rechilus? What is one permitted to relate for shidduchim? We answer these questions and many more with real-life examples and stories.

Negative Speech Affects Self-Esteem

Negative speech has been the cause of untold destruction throughout our long history. It destroys self-esteem and spreads darkness and conflict in the world. It prevents the redemption from coming and the Beis Hamikdash from being rebuilt. That’s why the Chofetz Chaim dedicated his life to teaching people how to avoid lashon hara and bring us closer to the geulah.

This series takes a closer look at the power of words to build or destroy lives. The more we are aware of this incredible power, the better we will be able to use it for bringing sanctity into this world.

The combination of animation, live action, plots with a twist and entertaining narration will keep you riveted to your seat as you learn practical ways to curb negative speech and focus on building others up instead of tearing them down.
