The Importance of Unity and Avoiding Negative Speech

When is it that Bnei Yisrael are successful in war? In the generation of David HaMelech many fell in war, whereas in the generation of Achav victory came without loss. This was not because of David Melech Yisrael or Achav the wicked personally. It was a result of the people being united and not speaking negatively about one another during the days of Achav. May we merit that unity, that victory, and the arrival of Mashiach Tzidkeinu. ◊
