Moshe was brought up in the lap of luxury in the house of Pharoh. When he grew up, he set out to see how his Jewish brethren were doing. What he saw was the terrible predicaments that the Jews were being plagued with.  At one point he encountered two Jews speaking slander (lashon harah). He was so taken by seeing Jews speak negatively about one another that he proclaimed “I always wondered why the Jews were enslaved and treated worse than any other nation but now I know. In this shiur we will discuss why Jews speaking slander about each other can be so destructive that Moshe, the great redeemer was unfortunately able to see this as a reason for the Jews remaining in exile for so long. From volume 31.
