Proper Speech Lesson of the Day- 15th of Elul

Please Say/Whisper the Words out Loud
In merit of this learning may Avraham Berl ben Rootch and Chana bat Yitteh Etel be blessed with health, happiness, and only revealed good. May they each merit an immediate refuah shleima bitoch she'ar cholei yisrael.

I
When we make comments, even positive ones, about someone, remember how easily the conversation can drift in negative directions.

II
A remark such as "I think Chaim is great, but there is one thing I can't stand about him" is unlikely to trigger an extended discussion of Chaim's good attributes; rather, the conversation probably will focus on that "one thing".

Create a wonderful day!
