שפה יהיה לפיו סביב… (תצוה כח:לב)

Once there was a group of women who were discussing what they will answer in Heaven after 120, when they will need to give “דין וחשבון” – precise accounting – of their accomplishments in this world.  One woman said: “When I will stand in front of the Heavenly courts and they will ask me why I did so and so, I will pretend to be mute.”

A few days later the woman became mute and remained mute until her death.  Each word one utters has an effect in heaven!
