The chain of events that led to the destruction of the second Beit Hamikdash began with Bar Kamtza and his accidental host not giving each other the benefit of the doubt. In the three weeks leading up to Tisha B’Av, we focus on loving our fellow Jews and giving them the benefit of the doubt even when it seems like they are behaving badly. Torah Live’s newest video, Judging Others Favorably, teaches children how to do this, even when it is challenging.

“She’s a creep!” Well, everyone recognizes that as lashon hara. But many people don’t realize that an off-hand remark or look made by one of our best of friends can be lashon hara too. That’s why Torah Live chose real-life friend situations, to teach viewers the laws of Shmiras HaLoshon (guarding one’s tongue) for Chapter Two of The Lost Light. To do this, we created our own girls’ school, dubbed “Torah Live High School” by production manager Sharon Katz. The scenes were actually filmed in an elementary school in the town of Efrat. They illustrate how easily we can fall into the trap of speaking lashon hara, even when that’s not the intention.
