Proper Speech Lesson of the Day - 16th of Cheshvan

Please Say/Whisper the Words out Loud
This learning is dedicated liiluy the neshamot of Shlomo ben Mordechai and Rochel bat Sarah.

I
It is not necessary to explicitly mention someone's name for a statement to be considered lashon hara. If the listener will be able to deduce the identity of the person you are referring to, it is considered lashon hara as well.

II
It is best to refrain completely from making any disparaging remarks. Even though you might think that the subject of your remark is unknown to your listeners, or that you have given them insufficient evidence by which to deduce their identity, you may be wrong.

(Guard Your Tongue by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin)

Create a wonderful day!
