We all know how important it is to refrain from bad speech, but how important is it? According to the Zohar in Parshat Naso, when we go to sleep, our soul goes to heaven and testifies about the person. The person's actions and speech are recorded and saved for the Day of Judgment. This is an important lesson because when you are doing Lashon Hara (evil speech), you are causing harm to yourself TWICE! Not only are you talking badly but you are also causing your soul to testify against you. We must learn to be careful with our words and speak from a place of trust beware that our speech causes a lot of harm.
