A Message from the World of Souls
From Zabele Rechtshoper on the Evil of Gossip and Dispute

An important and shocking message from the late Zavele Rechtshoffer, who appeared in a dream to his friend and told him about what is happening with him in the World of Truth, and about the evil of controversy and lashon hara (evil speech).
"I want to tell a story that I heard from a friend of the late Zavele Rechtshoffer. The friend dreamed of him at night, and Zavele said that he has a very good and comfortable place in Heaven."
"He said that they judged him in Heaven just as they judge one who dies for the sanctification of Hashem. He arrived at a good place, and he is in Heaven in a good place; it is pleasant and comfortable for him."
"However, Zavele said to him like this - if you had refrained from speaking lashon hara when I was sick, what happened to me would not have happened. That is to say, if they had refrained from controversies, from lashon hara, from gossip, and from all these things, then the late Zavele Rechtshoffer would not have passed away; he would have remained alive."
"This is a very important matter that needs to be awakened and stirred up - to speak as little lashon hara as possible, and to speak good speech. To strengthen ourselves in the love of friends throughout the world, throughout all of Breslov."
"May the Breslov Chassidut be the light for the entire world, for all the Chassidic movements, for the entire world. The light for all of Judaism and for all non-Jews."
"As Rebbe Nachman says - the world is worthy of marveling at the love that exists between us."
