We are forbidden from cursing G‑d's great Name (may He be exalted much, much higher than what the fools say). This prohibition is euphemistically called, "blessing the Name."
This mitzvah forbids cursing or speaking disrespectfully of Hashem. Blasphemy, even in thought or utterance, is among the gravest sins, as it denies His holiness and undermines the foundation of faith. The Torah demands reverence in all speech, ensuring that Hashem’s Name is honored and exalted.
Commentary & Classical Explanation:
Pertains to the power of speech—both positive and negative—including lashon hara, vows, and blessings.
Represents Emunah—the deep, inner trust in Hashem’s presence, oneness, and constant involvement in our lives. This badge symbolizes a heartfelt connection to G-d, rooted in belief even when we cannot see. It is the emotional and spiritual core of many mitzvot.
Signifies awe and reverence toward Hashem—living with awareness of His greatness and presence.
