Proper Speech Lesson of the Day- 20th of Elul

Please Say/Whisper the Words out Loud
In merit of this learning may Emunah Nitzchia Yehudis bat Tema be blessed with health, happiness, and only revealed good.

I
Occasionally, we may have a valid reason to say something negative about another person. For example, if somebody wants to go into business with, or hire, or is dating someone we know to be inappropriate for them. If all the requirements for speaking for a constructive purpose are met, we should share our concerns with the person - and no one else.

II
When sharing information for a constructive purpose, don't exaggerate. Be specific about why you think that the person is inappropriate for the individual to whom you are speaking.

(Words that Hurt Words that Heal by Joseph Telushkin)

Create a wonderful day!
