[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה פ"ב - הַנֶּעֱלָבִים וְאֵינָם עוֹלְבִים]
רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, עָזְרֵנִי וְהוֹשִׁיעֵנִי שֶׁאֶזְכֶּה לִשְׁתֹּק וְלִדֹּם לִמְחָרְפֵי וְלִמְבַזֵּי נַפְשִׁי,

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*Remaining Silent in the Face of Insult / Preparing for the Shabbat*
There are three “husks” — three levels of reality — that are completely impure. These correspond to the first three years that a fruit tree grows, when its fruit is forbidden and is called *orlah* (literally, “foreskin”).²⁰ All of the insults that a person suffers come from these three “husks,” or *orlah*. There is a fourth “husk” called *nogah*, which is sometimes absorbed into the impure “husks” and at other times into holiness. This corresponds to the fruit of a tree in its fourth year, which may be eaten after it is sanctified.
In his description of one of his Heavenly visions, the prophet Ezekiel refers to an energy called *chashmal*. A person is absorbed into the holy energy of *chashmal* when he ignores the insults that come from the realm of *orlah* and remains silent. The first syllable of the word *chashmal*, “*chash*,” means “silence.” The person is silent out of love, because he does not want to insult another person. Then *nogah* is absorbed into holiness.
Conversely, if a person stays silent because he knows that doing so will upset his opponent, his silence is absorbed into the realm of *orlah*, of disgrace and insult.
The second syllable in the word *chashmal*, “*mal*,” has the numerical value of seventy. In addition, it is related to the word *milah* (circumcision). This indicates that at times *nogah* is absorbed into the seventy lights of holiness, into the state of rectified sexuality and circumcision.
On Friday afternoon, prior to the coming of the Shabbat, *nogah* is absorbed into holiness. At that time, the three impure “husks” attempt to rise and grasp holiness, but a fire of God descends and burns them away. Corresponding to that, at this time we bathe in hot water. The custom of cutting one’s nails on Friday afternoon is also related to this dynamic.
**Silence Before Those Who Abuse Me**
Master of the world, help me remain silent when people abuse and deride me.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
May I be among those who act out of love and rejoice in their suffering. Thus, with my silence, may I not intend to upset these people. Rather, may I be motivated solely by love. May I never shame or insult anyone — not even those who shame me.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
I have already stumbled in this matter a number of times — sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose, sometimes against my will and sometimes willingly. “Indeed, I sinned against HaShem, the God of Israel” and against Jews who were all more righteous than I. I shamed them publicly, caused their faces to turn white, and spilled their blood like water.
