Aliyah Quote #19: The Merit of not Slandering the Land

This Rasha [Sancheriv] merited to be called "Osnapar Raba v'Yakira (the great and dear)" because he did not speak bad about Eretz Yisrael - "V'Lakachti Eschem El Eretz k'Artzechem" (he merely did not say that this new land would be better than Eretz Yisrael.)(Sanhedrin 94)
