In this talk, Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi tells a powerful story about the Chofetz Chaim on Yom Kippur. Known for his commitment to avoid all speech on this holy day except for prayer and Torah, the Chofetz Chaim once broke his silence. Late on the night of Yom Kippur, he noticed a yeshiva student sitting alone in distress. Instead of leaving to rest before the long day ahead, he sat with the boy until dawn, offering strength and comfort.
This story teaches that the purpose of guarding our speech is not only to avoid negative words but to use our words to build, to give life, and to help others.
