Proper Speech Lesson of the Day- 4th of Cheshvan

Please Say/Whisper the Words out Loud
In merit of this learning may Rochel Tova bat Yehudis Esther and Dovid ben Rivka each be blessed with health, happiness, and only revealed good. May they each merit an immediate refuah shleima bitoch she'ar cholei yisrael.

I
If someone tells you private information, even if they didn't request that it remain secret, about their business or any personal matter, you are not allowed to disclose it to others. Your doing so could cause the person who confided in you financial loss, embarrassment, or other damage.

II
However, if that person related information concerning themselves in the presence of three or more people and did not request secrecy, you are permitted to relate it to others. We can assume that the person doesn't mind the information being shared. Note - Use your judgment, think about the information, group, and context in which the information was divulged as well as the consequences of you repeating it.

(Guard Your Tongue by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin)

Create a wonderful day!
