The True Power of Speech: The key to both Worlds

The True Power of Speech is a groundbreaking exploration of the mitzvah of shemiras halashon―guarding one’s tongue―and the extraordinary spiritual impact our words have on ourselves, others, and the fabric of Creation itself.
In a world saturated with harmful speech and judgment, Rabbi Mendel Kessin offers a rare, deeply intellectual and spiritual approach to lashon hara (derogatory speech), revealing its unseen consequences and the profound role it plays in the unfolding of redemption. Unlike typical mussar works that merely exhort, this book takes the reader on a hashkafic journey―explaining the inner mechanisms behind harmful speech and how it affects Divine systems, the soul, and the structure of reality.
Drawing from Chazal, the teachings of the Chofetz Chaim, and his own original insights, Rabbi Kessin illustrates how refraining from lashon hara can elevate a person to the highest levels of reward in Olam HaBa, and how collective speech refinement can hasten the coming of Mashiach.
With clarity, depth, and urgency, this book empowers readers to understand the true magnitude of their words and inspires lasting transformation―both personal and cosmic. It is not just a book about speech; it is a road map to spiritual greatness and national redemption.
